The Crew: Who Made the Series!
Ajay Bhuyan is the director. He decides how every scene looks and feels. Ajay makes the house look real--sunlight coming from windows, an old fridge with magnets, and clothes hanging to dry. He shoots close so you feel you are sitting in the same room. No big fancy camera moves, just simple and warm.
Shiirshak S. Anand is the creator and writer. He got the idea from his own family trying to put phones away during festivals.
Direction and Production: Simple But Smart
Ajay Bhuyan directs like a friend telling a story. He uses real sounds--no loud music all the time. You hear the fan, the spoon in tea, the rain outside.
Production is clean. They shot in a real-looking flat in Bandra. Not too many locations--just home, street, park. Costumes are normal daily clothes--kurta, jeans, nightie. No shiny outfits. The budget looks small, but the heart is big.
Theme: Phones Make Us Far, Love Makes Us Close
The big idea is simple: phones push people away even when they sit together. The title means "a little far, a little close." Grandpa wants to bring everyone close again. The show says old ways--talking face to face, playing cards, walking without maps--are better than likes and comments.
It shows how everyone is addicted. Grown-ups more than kids! Rohan can't sleep without checking his mail. Avni feels ugly without filters. Savita forgets her dreams because of chores and scrolling. When phones go away, they fight first, then talk, then laugh. They remember old stories, play antakshari, and cook together. Small things bring big happiness.
Family Bond: The Real Magic!
This show is all about family love. Ashwin misses his wife and wants the same warmth for his kids. Savita holds everyone like glue. Rohan learns that work is not everything. Avni finds that real friends are better than online ones. Kids teach elders new games without screens.
One beautiful scene: power cut at night. Only candles. Everyone sits in one room and talks about fears and dreams. No hiding behind emojis. Tears come, hugs come. That's family bond--messy, loud, but strong.
Watch It With Your Family on ZEE5
Thode Door Thode Paas is not a big action series. It is a small mirror. It shows how we live now--close in house, far in heart. But it also shows that fixing is easy. The cast acts like real people.
