Ginny and Georgia
A relationship between a mom and her teen daughter is not very different from a rollercoaster ride. Ginny and Georgia portray this ride impeccably.

This show will definitely make you want to run and hold your mom’s hand forever.
Never Have I Ever
On the surface, the show may seem like a tale of an average teenage Indian- American girl exploring the world, in terms of love, friendship and identity. Subtly yet, the show speaks volumes about the grief of loss of family, the delicate relation between a mom and daughter, and the struggle to navigate life post it. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Devi) and Poorna Jagannathan (Nalini) portray the roles with utmost honesty and finesse, often making you forget that the bond shown is just for the screen.

Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl
This film is a refreshing take on a Father-Daughter relationship.
