Have you guys watched the season 2 promo of Bade Acche Lagte Hain?
My very first thought: Dang! Why is it SO DARK 😳 I legit had to squint my eyes to focus on Nakuul and Disha's faces.
Disha's timing is so on point waise. First the BB proposal, then the big fat wedding, then the show--dhamakedaar publicity milne wali hain show ko 😆
I never thought I'd see Nakuul in an Ekta show considering he often subtly trolled her shows in the past but paapi pet I guess😆
Tagging 5 here but open to everyone.
Watched it- perhaps helped that I followed PKDH a bit back in the day, and so Nakuul and Disha are somewhat familiar faces.😊
I like them and wish them the best, but think Ekta is doing the duo a bit of a disservice if she's keeping the serial name, the character names and the story the same. Comparisons to ST and RK will inevitably follow, and try as hard as NM and DP might, they are big boots to fill. 😃
The promo indicates that the character names are the same but also suggests that Nakuul is 38, rather than the early 40's one that the original Ram was playing, Hopefully they change things around a bit- I would struggle to watch a soap if I know the future storyline.
Agree that the promo looked darkish- maybe the theme is darker/more mature?
I think it was Sony who were looking to cash in on the Disha hype and probably pushed for an early start after watching KRPKAB 3 disappoint in TRP's (and this was probably a contributing factor to IPZN's exit- they wanted to give BALH 2 every chance at success, and coming right after KBC was perhaps the most ideal time. If it was delayed, it would have to contend with the IPL in September and possibly even the T20 World Cup in Oct/November)
