Brundavana Serial Story
“Brindavana” is essentially a family drama set in a large, joint household of 36 family members, who live together, sharing joys, tensions, and relationships.
At the heart of the plot is Akash, who is studying abroad, and his grandmother Sudha, who is facing health issues. Sudha has one last wish — she desires to see Akash married to a “good granddaughter-in-law” with virtues, rather than focusing on status.
Meanwhile, Appanna (a family elder) is also trying to find a good match for his sister Pushpa. During a temple visit, Sudha is impressed by Pushpa’s demeanor and secretly fixes that she should become her granddaughter-in-law. The drama begins when Sudha approaches Appanna with the match for Akash and Pushpa. But can this arrangement be accepted by all? Will Pushpa adapt to a large household? The show then weaves through conflicts, love, family sacrifices, ideological differences, and the interplay of traditional values in contemporary settings.
The serial blends sentiment, family bonds, conflicts, romance and the trials that arise when many personalities live under one roof.
