This paper explores the evolution of romantic relationships and storylines within the Marathi sitcom (storycom) genre. Historically rooted in joint family structures and conservative values, Marathi television comedies have undergone a paradigm shift over the last two decades. By examining the transition from traditional joint-family narratives to modern, slice-of-life romances, this study analyzes how these shows balance cultural ethos with contemporary relationship dynamics.
