His protagonist Arya, incidentally, is a writer albeit the second-best-selling one and constantly in competition with Chetan Bhagat (who plays himself). The series is created and written by Manu Joseph, and if you’ve read some of his writing, it explains a lot. We watch them discuss what women want and sigh into our cup of coffee (necessary to keep sanity while watching the show). More messy than meta, he ropes in yet another problematic friend who is now a guru of some sort (perpetually surrounded by a group of blonde women, of course) for said show. They plan to end the marriage but stay together for the sake of their adolescent daughter.Īs the series tumbles along, Arya continues to insult everyone from a security guard to the woman who meets him to discuss a ‘Netflix show’.
The ‘decoupling’ refers to Arya and Shruti (Surveen Chawla) deciding to end their marriage.
The series felt like a refined version of Kabir Singh where the central character’s male entitlement and unacceptable behavior is not only tolerated, it’s flaunted. He’s smug and insufferable, creating trouble out of nowhere, yet mostly getting away with everything. But Decoupled only serves to show us the perspective of Arya Iyer (R Madhavan) who suffers from some sort of a narcissistic victim-complex. Madhu then offers to take him out of trouble if he became her "hired husband" and brought the conspirators to book.The series could fool you into thinking it’s a modern, realistic take on marriage and separation. The story takes a sudden twist when, in the absence of his grand mother, Kumar is unable to pay off the creditors. Kumar thinks that he will get the entire property by having a "hired wife while the grand mother reveals to Madhu that they are actually very poor and the entire property has been mortaged. Madhu is saved Kumar, who on the adivce of his friend Debu(Mahmood) brings her to his house with Debu posing as her father and makes her acceptable to his grand mother.
To inherit the entire property of Madhu, left to her by her father Rai Bahadur Dinanath(Sajjan) Jivan, Nadira, Seema and Jiven's son, Dhiraj conspire to marry Madhu with Dhiraj and kill her after marriage.
On the other hand, there is Madhu(Zeenat Aman) who has been brought up by her step-mother(Nadira) and tortured by step-sister Seema. His grandmother wants a good wife in the house and threatens Kumar to disinherit him of the money if he did not marry soon. Having been jilted in love by Seema(Poonam), Kumar resolves never to marry. Kumar(Dev Anand) is the grandson of a wealthy widow(Durga Khote).
