^^ Arey, Shreya, the TM posted her good wishes for the show ... 500 episodes! That's great going for any show these days! No harm thanking her!
@TM, thanks for your good wishes ... hope Chhanchhan does go on for 500 episodes, that's over a year and a half ... would love that!
I do agree with Jaya on many points ... Uma Ben started off as pure evil but I don't know if you have been watching the show at all lately ... with all due respect, it seems either you have not really been watching, or you haven't managed to appreciate the nuances that have been brought in, that you are labelling the characters so decisively ...
Uma Ben is not evil, she is manipulative and arrogant. She is also a very shrewd judge of character.
The bahus are not weak ... the middle one is as manipulative as Uma Ben herself.
Manav is not a typical Mama's boy ... he is a bit immature, but understandably so, being the youngest son ... the actor is lacklustre, I agree ... but the character is much less of a dikra than other saas bahu shows. I am hoping they stick to this characterization ... he doesn't say "yes, mammy " to everything, but he uses his mom's own manipulative ways to wheedle her
Chhanchhan doesn't "have a huge potential for being UB's bahu" ... she IS going to be UB's bahu ... that is the main story ...
CC is nice and polite in her approach, which is a refreshing change from many "heroic" female leads who are confrontational from the word GO ... Chhanchhan tries the reasonable approach first ... and when it doesn't work, then she doesn't give up, she finds another solution ... using her brains ... SUCH a nice thing to see a smart sensible heroine, not a martyr ...
What is the big deal about the show?
SANAYA IRANI for one ... no other show has Sanaya, the biggest reason for me to watch Chhanchhan ...
Supriya Pathak, a fabulous actress who is impressing me more and more ... this is the first time I have seen her playing this kind of role ... her scenes are fantastic!
I love the dogs ... they are adorable!
Chhanchhan entertains me ... good enough reason for me to watch it.
I'm not only referring to her!! 😊 I wish people on this forum also stop bringing up the previous show as a way to make a dig at someone just because they don't like people saying things like this about CC!! It's really not helping both forums!!Shreya

My take - the idea is good... but execution could improve a lot... there should be more layering ... it is all direct and predictable now... that's the main issue. UB appears black and CC appears white.
I still think UB has layers -- note the way she has hubby wrapped round her little finger and her love for her grandchildren... and she is very very shrewd and a great judge of character.CC is a bit preachy ... that is putting viewers off... but she is using her brains ... that's good...FK needs a lot of improvement...Overall... a mixed report card.Like Diya says -- I watch for San .. and the bahus (I like the one who is supposed to be a bit slow!) and CC's family... I hope that the layering will happen as the story progresses. I ignore FK😃
