Misc comments:
1. CHYD featured just 2 persons on Monday (Rima, Ashwini Bhave) and for a change, they didn't make fun of their names or misidentify them. The class of comedy seemed better too. Hope Nilesh Sable has taken criticism constructively.
2. Mukta & Swapnil look right for ELDG kinds of roles - who have seen & rejected about 70 suitors each. Neither looks young or fresh but they have very large fan clubs and the director is going to milk their popularity. I had liked MPM a lot, so hope MPM2 is good too. As mishkil pointed out, SR hasn't delivered a hit in years now and his reputation is on the line.
3. Asha Shelar (villainous Kala from HSMHG) is acting in a new Marathi play. Will try to catch it soon.
4. Saw a promo of 'Neelkanth Master', yet another Marathi movie apparently shot / based in Konkan during the British times & with the obligatory theme of anti-British insurgency. If there were indeed so many Konkan-based revolutionaries, how come we know only of LoTi (Lokmanya Tilak)?
5. Checked out how JYRG & HSMHG are doing. IMHO, both should have been snuffed out an year ago. Since their fanatical followers want to see Aditya-Meghana romance and no (Vi)Chitra, I guess JYRGians are happy to see Aditya flexing his biceps in obligatory sleeveless Ts and combing his fingers through overlong hair covering half his face while Meghana smiles cutely. Similarly, the HSMHG fanatics (are there any left?) wanted to see less of Kala & moronicas and more of a happy Shri & 'KHS' (kAhIhI hAn Shri, aka Janhavi). I guess both sets of fans are happy now. It seems neither serial is going away for another year!
6. D3 is trying hard to inject something new, but the story is not moving at all. No change in Reshma's situation or Ashu's love affair or Meenal's work hunting or KK's lack of work or Sujay's work. Hope they show Rakesh coming back to Reshma, KK hooking up with Sujay's sister etc and end the serial before it gets boring.
