What does one say about a TV show about matchmaking in which the only couple who do get married don't meet through the matchmaker? Well, I guess the only thing one can say is that the new season of Indian Matchmaking (on Netflix) doesn't really make a great case for matchmakers.
Don't get me wrong. Sima Aunty-or Sima from Mumbai, as she persistently introduces herself—is a great character, full of vim and vigour and the occasional devastating put-down. When it comes to matchmaking, though, she doesn't exactly have a stellar success rate, going by her clients who feature in this series (maybe, in all fairness, she has better luck off screen). But despite the fact that none of her matches seem to take, Sima Aunty sallies forth in every episode, confidence undented, folio of biodatas in hand, with unalloyed optimism in her heart. Bless!
