In Home, Annu Kapoor and Supriya Pilgaonkar star as a loving couple – Himansh and Vandana Sethi, who parent two children – Vansh (Amol) and Hina (Chetna). The Sethis are an affectionate family, residing in the Kala Kruti society in Mumbai. With the legal threat of demolition hanging over the head of an unauthorised residential society, Home focuses on the trials and tribulations of the Sethi family.

Habib Faisal, the director has meticulously utilized his characters to churn out the best. Dialogues are crisp while the script is such that not even a moment, does Home appear lengthy or boring. In certain lines, though, the grassroots issues of the society have been addressed with a slight nudge at the government.
Annu Kapoor is unusually restrained and shows how nuanced he can be when not playing to the gallery. Parikshit Sahni’s frowning brows are a familiar sight but his irritation never feels out of context. But it’s Supriya Pilgaonkar’s easy-going air, heartfelt anxieties and lived-in insight of a woman juggling between mom, wife, and entrepreneur that impress most. Often, she rescues the most contrived scenes with humour and depth. Like where she’s comparing her still-going-strong sex life with her contemporaries.
Home is certainly binge-watch material because you will love every second of it, and also, keep a box of tissues handy because trust us – you will need it. The series fares best when the focus is on the serious and the simple.
