Well, my dear, I am not anywhere near your record for Kahani, but I have watched it 5 times, and there was not a single plot hole in it. Marvellous, and the real top billing in the cast was for the city of Kolkatta. I knew that the writer for Airlines is the same lady, but it had slipped my mind. No wonder I was moved to praise the script so much in my first para!
Her fully rounded out cameos, so essential for this kind of show with a different central story in each episode, are a constant delight. I forgot to mention perhaps the best one so far, the doctor in Episode 1, with whose car Ananya has a bender. He was superb throughout, right down to his unreserved change of attitude towards Ananya at the very end.
I am with you 100% and more about Udaan. In those days, in Doordashan, they used to have excellent serials of all kinds, Buniyaad, Kakkaji Kahin with Om Puri, Mr. Yogi, Nukkad, Dil Darya & Doosra Kewal with a raw and appealing Shahrukh, Byomkesh Bakshi, Chanakya, the list is endless. Some of them are being retelecast these days, especially Chanakya & Buniyaad. Which is a blessing for me, as I was mostly abroad on diplomatic postings and never got to see most of them. There was a delightful one with Shafi Inamdar, Swaroop Sampat and Satish Shah whose name eludes me now. I never watched Diya aur Baati Hum, with that pudding faced heroine. My IPS friend, Kiran Bedi, could not be more different from this girl in every possible way.
Yes, our Ananya would benefit from a stint with Anupam Kher's classes, but for now, I am concentrating on the mystery. I specially want to know why Inde Air is being so secretive about Mahima's death, and whether she was a double agent.
So please make sure you stay with the serial and me, for I badly need someone who shares my interest in plot intricacies, as distinct from drooling over the lead pair! If I had been 35 years younger, I would have demanded better looks in the leading man,but he had an interesting and mobile face, which is some compensation!😉!
