The story explores complex interpersonal desires within a household. It follows a lonesome mother-in-law, Supriya, who becomes increasingly aware of the intimate life of her newlywed son and daughter-in-law.

The 2021 Ullu original relied on a cast familiar with the platform's high-drama, low-budget aesthetic. While Ullu rarely releases star-studded names for their niche episodes, the leads in Saas Bahu Aur NRI were praised for their "full commitment" to the absurd premise.

The cast does what is expected of them in a production of this nature. The actresses playing the Saas and Bahu deliver exaggerated expressions typical of the genre, effectively switching between scheming family members and seductive characters. The male lead, the "NRI," serves his purpose as the catalyst for the drama but lacks depth. It is unfair to expect method acting in an erotica, but the stiffness in delivery during non-intimate scenes is noticeable.
