Disney+ Hotstar’s crime drama series Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo concludes with a jaw-dropping twist, leaving viewers craving more. Homi Adajania’s venture has taken the saas-bahu (mother-daughter-in-law) dynamic to a whole new level. It perfectly blends action, family drama, and crime in the fictional realm of Runjh Pradesh. As the series came to a close, it left a trail of unanswered questions and unexpected revelations.
The series revolves around the Rani Cooperative, a family-led drug cartel in South Asia. It is led by the formidable matriarch, Rani Ba. Dimple Kapadia’s portrayal of the gun-wielding and cigarette-smoking matriarch sets the tone for the intense narrative. The family consists of two diligent bahus, Kajal (Angira Dhar) and Bijlee (Isha Talwar), along with the free-spirited daughter Shanta (Radhika Madan). The gang of women engages in a dual life of herbs and dolls on the surface and a thriving drug trade beneath.
Did Rani Ba actually die?
The plot thickens when Rani Ba faces threats, prompting her to name an heir. The buildup to this crucial decision involves anticipated attacks and a tragic murder. Furthermore, there is a shocking revelation about an alleged incestuous relationship between Shanta and her adopted brother, Dhiman. During the Janmashtami celebration, Rani Ba gathers her family to announce the new leader. However, the revelation takes an unexpected turn as a trusted narcotics officer, Proshun (Jimit Trivedi), introduces a game-changing secret that sets off a chain of events leading to Rani Ba’s apparent demise.
The family mourns the loss of their matriarch. However, they are unaware that Rani Ba has orchestrated her own “death” to expose the mole within. The narrative takes a fascinating turn as viewers are transported to Savitri’s past. Her journey from vulnerability to the powerful figure of Rani Ba is revealed. The family is forced to watch a pre-recorded message in which Rani Ba urges them to carry on the cartel’s legacy. They are interrupted by the shocking return of Monk (Deepak Dobriyal).
Monk’s entrance adds another layer of complexity to the storyline. He reveals that there has been a mole within the family all along—Kajal. The shocking revelation sends shockwaves through the family. Kajal exposes her quest for vengeance against Rani Ba, who had lied to her about her supposedly deceased son. However, Kajal’s double-crossing skills are no match for Rani Ba, who emerges alive and well, having faked her death to uncover the traitor.
Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo ending: How did the Radhika Madan series end?
As the series ends, questions abound. Will an heir be fixed? What fate awaits the family members? Will the complicated relationship between Dhiman and Shanta persist? With Monk still at large, will justice be served? The series wraps up with a montage of Rani Ba walking towards an uncertain future, hinting at the potential for a season two filled with even more twists and turns.
Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo has not only redefined the saas-bahu (Mother in law – daughter in law) genre but has also left viewers eagerly waiting for the next chapter in this intense crime drama. As fans dissect the ending and discuss the future of the Rani Cooperative, one thing is certain—the flamingo’s legacy is far from over.
