Watched 2 episodes and while it has the typical Zoya tropes, it was decent and entertaining.

The only thing that made it worth it for me was Karan-Nawab's love story. I cried in the end I won't lie. I wish this one part was a show on its own. LGBTQ+ love stories told with such angst and softness deserve more. Other than that, the whole show is a borefest.
Spoiler alert!Agree with this. That was a poignant one. Their backstory is both innocent and cruel and the way it all culminates. I was pleasantly surprised to see Vikrant Massey as Nawab. Wish they had introduced the older Nawab a little earlier in the story so we could have seen more of them. My heart skipped a beat when there is a message notification from Nawab after all those years.

SPOILER ALERT!Same. It was so heartbreakingly beautiful when they see each other after all those years of separation. So many moments stood out for me. The way they couldn't break the ice till Karan says 'I'm sorry' and you can see the way Nawab's face crumbles,his lips wobble. Massey's eyes say so much in that one moment. My heart was breaking.The other one was when they were making love and they both get tearyeyed and smile while caressing each others' faces. Such a heart-stopping moment. The difference in that one scene and all the other so called scenes in the series. They were really good in that scene.And lastly the 'Cant believe I hated you for so long' juxtaposed with 'Cant believe I have loved only you'. Poetic,impactful, and something that stays with you. Also the way Karan only opened up about police brutality to Nawab out of everyone. The way he only felt at home with him, to reveal something like that.I really loved these two. I wanted more.
