While I am not much into Television and exactly not get myself updated about the contents it has, recently I was reintroduced to it in a new way, when one of my friends recommended me to watch the new series on ZEE5 Originals called Mentalhood. The name by itself garnered so much interest and curiosity in me that I wasted no time in checking out the trailer first. And it was phenomenal to such an extent that I started binge watching the show with a lot of zeal. And thank God I took this decision as ZEE5 Originals Show Mentalhood ended up to be my favorite show.

So, today I will tell you the 5 reasons why you should Binge Watch Mentalhood.
1. It is so Relatable: Mentalhood represents all the mothers out there. Irrespective of where they belong to, how many kids they have, every mother has to go through certain phases in life that has been shown so accurately in the show. So I am sure each and every mother would find it absolutely relatable.
2. The Performances: Mentalhood has some amazing star cast. My eyes could not move from any screen where Karisma Kapoor was there. She is so natural as the confused and pressurized mom Meira, that it does not ever look like she is portraying any other character but herself. Every time she was not on screen I wanted to see more of her. The other cast of Dino Morea, Sanjay Suri, Tilottama Shome, Sandhya Mridul and Shruti Seth were also casted perfectly and their performances truly did justice to the characters they were portraying.
3. The Dialogues: Mentalhood has some very relevant dialogues that are subtle, witty and sometimes quite hilarious. Dialogues like "Motherhood is a journey, full of life, peace and trust." or "Karo to Maro, Na Karo to bhi maro" truly speak of the expectation that is made from every parent. However, the one dialog that stands out for me is , " Everyday is madness in a mom's life."
4. The Characters: Each and every character shown in Mentalhood has few shades in them. A strong and successful woman who appears to have a perfectly balanced life at work and home with loving kids, has some other story. Then there is the mom who shifts from a small town to a big city and struggles every moment to adjust with the fast and furious life. Then there is this single dad, who has to bear the responsibilities of a dad and mom too. The characters of the show are portrayed as real life individuals who we see everyday.

5. The Direction: Director Karishma Kohli has given us a truly entertaining and realistic show that will touch hearts, will take you to a wonderful journey of parenting in a very interesting way and will leave you with some memorable moments that you will cherish today and in future too. Kudos to her for bringing out the story of every mother and how they cope up with different things.
With a whopping 9.2 rating on IMDB, Mentalhood on ZEE5 Originals surely has been successful to create a stir in the audiences. It is a truly pleasant experience to binge watch the show that can win every heart, no matter it is a mother's or not.
