Story moved at a decent pace to introduce the leads and they even got good interaction in the first 3 episodes....I would say this had some vibes of old school ITV rather than aajkal ke usual ITV shows jahaan third angle gets introduced with ML even before FL
Here they took time to give ML-FL one on one interaction in the first three epis to show a decent build up of their bonding. Adnan is doing a variation of Viaan here also in the character of Vikrant....basically the Viaan we saw in the phase when he was trying to atone....that calm wala Viaan who was very spiritual and philosophical....this Vikrant has shades of that. Kaafi spiritual grounding wala character dikhaya hai referencing ardaas and gurbaani in between and I liked one section of the dialogues where he talked about why he is fascinated by paper boats and baarish ke baad unko tairana....cuz they represent the hope ki har toofaan mein ek kashti tair hi jaati hai kisi tarhan.
Sai didi ki bubbly acting is hit or miss
....kuch portions mein cringe zone mein chali jaati hai but overall they did the bubbly chatterbox and calm guy interaction decently I'd say......didn't go into as cheesy a zone as I was expecting based on the clips I saw on Twitter
I think I might watch this one for a bit if they show leads ka interaction decently...thoda spark toh hai. Baaki yeah the cliches are in place with main vamp obsessed with getting her daughter married off to Vikrant....like I said it's more old school ITV stuff and doesn't feel as insane as Leena chhaap bakwaas or even the stale nonsense in usual shows on SP.
Adnan finally got a good role after Viaan....lol and bade dino baad I got to see Shirali Didi ke typical styling waale kapde.....IB deja vu hota hai wohi same choodiyaan, kangan still being used on the girls
.....even the saris are still same type of fabrics/blouses that Shirali madam used in IB on the various women.....lol
