The first episode also follows two lovebirds Sarita (Geetanjali Kulkarni) and Akhtar (Neeraj Kabi) from Lucknow who lost the spark in their marriage, and are struggling to give their relationship another chance. Sarita, a physics teacher in the same university where her husband Akhtar teaches philosophy, aren't on the same page in life anymore. This leaves both of them frustrated in their professional, as well as personal life. What makes their love story special is how the duo decides to go on a honeymoon, visit the symbol of love, the Taj Mahal, once again in 1989, before things go kaput.

As the episodes progress, the show will introduce you to some more people who have an undying love for another person, or towards their work, or for the nation. There's way too much hodgepodge in every couple's story which leaves a chaotic mark at the end. Which story leads where is not the question, but how everyone is connected to Taj Mahal in 1989 is! It's slow, its dark, and of course, things get murkier when Dharam's desire to become a politician makes him join hands with Babbu Bhaiya (Raj Singh), a well-known face in the world of power.

The show surely lacks lustre. As you'll move towards episode 6, one might even lose interest but the curiosity to see how everything ends might keep you hooked. In-between narrations by the characters and constant comparison with the 2020 world, be it Tinder or WhatsApp, seems unnecessary. Pushpendra Nath has created the world of the late '80s in Lucknow aesthetically. With a chaotic storyline, Taj Mahal 1989 might be a disappointing decision to invest your time in.
