Made In Heaven 2 creators Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti defend the preachy tone: “It’s not about checklisting evils in our society”

Made In Heaven 2 dropped earlier his month and has remained in the headlines ever since. The show has been criticised for its preachy tone and has received less favourable reviews than the season 1. The creators of the series Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti have defended the show.

In an interview with Mid-Day, when Reema Kagti was asked about the preachy tone of the season and whether they had made a checklist of the social issues, the filmmaker said, “At the end of the day women empowerment is at the base of what we try to do. We just try to examine a situation and challenge conventions. There is a lot of irony all around us and, more than this kind of checklist if we look at the base of the show, which is about two wedding planners creating these beautiful weddings – one is going through a divorce and the other can’t legally marry. It’s not about checklisting evils in our society, it sounds a very reductionist way of looking at it.”

Zoya Akhtar added, “No, but it’s also a drama. You can’t have a wedding and nothing goes wrong and everybody is happy. That’s so boring.”

In recent times, an author called out the makers for using her story for the Dalit storyline in the storyline without crediting. Designer Tarun Tahiliani also called out the makers for using his designs in the show without proper credits.

Made In Heaven 2 premiered on Prime Video on August 10, four years after season 1. The series stars Sobhita Dhulipala, Arjun Mathur, Shivani Raghuvanshi, Shashank Arora, Vijay Raaz, Mona Singh, Trinetra Haldar, Ishwaak Singh, Kalki Koechlin, Jim Sarbh, Sanjay Kapoor, Neelam and Sameer Soni among others.
