Nice.. kuch dhang ka mila to watch..for however long that lasts..will try to check it out..but jitne bhi clips dekhe she was acting so over ..maybe flow main better ho..

Yeah aaj kal guarantee toh kisi cheez ki nahin hai but as I said this seemed slightly better than any recent shows I've seen launched on ITV

Here is the second epi ka link....you can watch the Gurudwara interaction onwards to get a sense of leads ka interaction build up...starts around 5:33.....then leads ka next scene is at 18:48 mark

Caught up on the show and after what feels like forever I actually liked an ITV show. Agree to everything you said but first off a shootout to casting so far everyone fits the role but esp for the casting of sharavan ki mummy and Mona vasu as sisters caz they actually do look like sisters and woh resemblance solid aati hai. I also liked ke this one had no long ass Bhushan in a static spot going in and on and everything came clear but also paced well yum ek kamre main bhi band line main khade repetition pe repetition and ek scene main 5 baar repeat hoti baat nahi dekh rahe..though ab we are over with the outdoor part toh it will be intresting to see how they go from here..Good production values..and I loved the music so much the bg score was just sooo refreshing and different from usual same sounding scores.. both mannag ka happy wala theme and saath main vikrant ki ardaas musics ek dum perfectly balance kar rahe thay woh bhi..uske ilawa I genuinly really enjoyed the way they have set up hero heroine ka milna in gurdwara and then his silences and amusement and woh jo ek calmness thi thruout listening to her not iverexaggerating his reactions na bohat shadows sad type brooding na hiniverjudging one ek dum sa normal sa sab despite her being itni frank even if woh GF main she kept the sar on his shoulder. (See this is where the context is important it looked wtf in the clip but makes sense and in epi it was actually kinda cute ) and also her being awkward about it and apologizing for it too.. i just genuinly liked the way vikrant kept looking and uski personality main jo calmness tha yes very viaan like and I was so pleasantly happy to rich the rich man being sooo grounded right from get go.yes he has all this privilege but he didn't reeks if chip on shoulder or arrogant.. that itself is a win ke ameer hoke bhi grounded ho sakte ho with his spiritual connection giving importance to Baba jo then any materialistic duniyawi thing..and him not being prejudiced And then them building that protection wala connect so nicely that he was her savior right at her birth too usko ache se loop leke aaye to when she froze at thunder and how he comforted her twice abhi tak..it did had the leads wali baat toh usme beautifully shot too . Also throwing in the hook about vikrant too ke who is he what happened that he forgot his past caz he was acha bada bacha when he saved mannat toh aise toh blank nahi hi sakta and then how he became so rich..I belehve he was called Aman in that childhood part when shruti asked the name na.. so intresting hai woh hook bhi and iss liye bhi that both the leads are anjaan from their reality..

I also really liked the twist to ddlj wala maa beti scene and unka jo abhi tak connection and oyar dikhaya hai has a very organic flow vibe nothing feels forced so far in all the rishte..I am however not happy about this mala being behan too and uski maa vying for vikrant too but dekhte hain it is a tricky bit caz yeh mala itni dumbbimbo thi in epi 4 ke I felt she might be more like Tia but I still didn't like her as such.. also had to laugh at them straight up lifting actual bolywood heroines ke names bina sharam ke..what's with Aishwarya rai and then uski beti mala ( which is actual pet names of Malaika and she is refereed as that on reality TV too) kuch zyada nahi ho gaya😜 but anyway... keeping that aside i actually do like the leads and the show so far aage dekhte hain. Ayesha surprisingly was sooo much better than whatever we saw of her as sai..yes she is over at places but still the character is likeable but man in some of places it was her awaaaaz that really hurt mg ears esp in that chopper part but I will forgive caz otherwise mannat is a nice character..I do like that she has ambition but she is also allowed to have a life beyond her ambition and she came across as a normal girl rather than super bhashannnni professor ji types.

The other lulzy thing was her getting out from gurudwara and then bas uss bade se white house dupe mahal main chakkar katooing out of nowhere🤣🤣 thoda toh effort daal lete usko whana laane ki caz come on we know that location ab kaafinuse ho chuki hai..and woh tha kya vikrant ka ghar?? I didn't get that either ya hotel? But chalo jo bhi tha pictured acha tha and thankfully filmcity ki boring locations ke bahar tha fresh tha..

Also i forgot to say there but I actually liked the outfits and looks even if yahan bhi overdose of badi badi Jewellry/kangans pom poms hai didnyou see woh twins who are the most annoying for now for me wearing pom pom earrings . Caz for one the fabrics didn't felt like tissue paper cheap..mannat ka white wala dress was actually nice and different.. here baaki logon ka bhi it so far doesn't feel tacky esp given wohi 4 suits for maa and wohi ott being wale cheappppppp outfits and itna overdone makeup styles .I found her styling nice in both her casual look with jeans too and baad main bhi with anarkalis are decent baaki shows se so much better even though we know we are in for a ride with shirali. Ayesha ke jo bhi sai looks thag usne toh bohat zyqda presentable lag rahi thi yahan..and upgraded si warna uss show main toh bechari ko bas pendu se pendu dikhana was the goals also she used to act in that way .idhar the pendupan is toned down dunno if it was the acting ke styling ya overall vibe of the show ..Also liked virkant ka bhi suit woh aaj jo beige dia dusra wala toh typical bodyguard wala look tha

Waise yeh show hai kiska I mean OH? Since yoh know I can't read hindi..

Also i was thrown off by the credits saying star india as copyright/ya channel and then yaad aaya ke wait a sec ab colors unka hi hai

I didn't catch what name he was about to give to Shruti cuz he got interrupted then but yes it does sound like he doesn't remember his past in Mumbai as a child....based on episode 4, mujhe lag raha hai he is adopted from India and taken to London but usko yaad nahin hai yeh since he is saying he feels a connection to India despite never having been here before....that is why he only has a hazy memory of that night when he was sailing paper boats and Mannat ko bachaya tha. I like how they've made it an instinctual/spiritual connection....direction was surprisingly good in their scenes considering aajkal ke waahiyaat standards on ITV jahaan lagta hai most of them have forgotten basic direction also.....lol

I also really liked the twist to ddlj wala maa beti scene and unka jo abhi tak connection and oyar dikhaya hai has a very organic flow vibe nothing feels forced so far in all the rishte..I am however not happy about this mala being behan too and uski maa vying for vikrant too but dekhte hain it is a tricky bit caz yeh mala itni dumbbimbo thi in epi 4 ke I felt she might be more like Tia but I still didn't like her as such.. also had to laugh at them straight up lifting actual bolywood heroines ke names bina sharam ke..what's with Aishwarya rai and then uski beti mala ( which is actual pet names of Malaika and she is refereed as that on reality TV too) kuch zyada nahi ho gaya😜 but anyway... keeping that aside i actually do like the leads and the show so far aage dekhte hain.

Haan I was also pleasantly surprised by Ayesha despite her going OTT in some bits....lekin otherwise she has made Mannat likeable with a mix of bubbly chatterbox but a sense of drive/goals also.....cuteness came through and baaki Viaan's bemusement at her antics provides a nice foil/contrast for the jodi.

Haha at Malla wala twist putting you off....yes I know we are beyond tired of this faltu sister sautan angle but I guess I can zone it out for now cuz bade dino baad I liked the intro of koi ITV leads....Malla is a total bimbo and yes Tia vibes de rahi hai but I'm sure they will make this a messy situation with the BFF/sisters wala angle....lol

The other lulzy thing was her getting out from gurudwara and then bas uss bade se white house dupe mahal main chakkar katooing out of nowhere🤣🤣 thoda toh effort daal lete usko whana laane ki caz come on we know that location ab kaafinuse ho chuki hai..and woh tha kya vikrant ka ghar?? I didn't get that either ya hotel? But chalo jo bhi tha pictured acha tha and thankfully filmcity ki boring locations ke bahar tha fresh tha..

LOL yes, even I was laughing that they used that giant white mahal wala house as a Gurudwara location....kahin se bhi aa jaa rahe the, background mein CGI use karke Gurudwara dikhaane ki koshish kar rahe the....I guess they wanted to get one big location to show everything from a grand Gurudwara to also the spot where the Helicopter is parked....haha it is a pretty big aesthetic location toh sab ek jagah hi nipta liya I guess.

That wasn't Vikrant ka ghar....he just landed the helicopter there to go visit this Gurudwara....lol....his home is back in Mumbai as of now where restaurant ki opening ho rahi hai. Yeh koi fictional Gurudwara dikha rahe the jahaan Mannat bhi aayi to pray and yeh Vik made a detour on the way to some meeting....lol

Again added my bits in red below :)

LOL haha yes we very well remember Shirali didi ka obsession with pom poms.....those weird twin girls are reminding me of Pinky ki buck toothed naukrani from IB.....kuch elements toh definitely woh IB-verse se inspired lagte hain in terms of styling/characterization.....even woh Mannat ka jeans wala look was reminding me a bit of Anika in some bits....lol....but otherwise yes agree with you ki styling for FL was nice....Ayesha ko suit kar raha hai yeh wardrobe better than what she wore as Sai.

Adnan ko bhi achha wardrobe diya hai for his character....and his hairstyle works within the world of this show....overall good look.

Waise yeh show hai kiska I mean OH? Since yoh know I can't read hindi..

This is Mukta Dhond ka PH yaar....the lady who has been creative for many famous shows like Rangrasiya, Madhubala, most of Ekta's Naagin seasons....lol she started her own PH with that supernatural Divya Drishti show some years back I think but off late her main success is that Sriti wala show on Zee - Kaise mujhe tum mil gaye....I saw some epis of that initially and decent tha.....just that they dragged the plot a lot so I lost track in between.....lol but it had old school ITV vibes too and now Mannat mein bhi waise hi old school ITV vibes dikh rahe hain.

She does have some hangover of Gul shows in her execution too....lol

Also i was thrown off by the credits saying star india as copyright/ya channel and then yaad aaya ke wait a sec ab colors unka hi hai

Haha yes even I was initially like hain? How is this StarIndia? Phir yaad aaya it's all merged into one company.....hassi aati hai why they are even bothering keeping Colors as a seperate channel...isko bhi rename karke Star kuch bol do.....also wondering if they will add yeh sab shows on Hotstar eventually ya Star ke shows Jio pe shift kar denge....lol

Oh vikrant ka hairstyle i didn't even notice as such caz as you said it fits in the zone and baaki he had the rumaal on his head for the most part woh toh bas woh brown suit main side profiles se zyada dikha..

Good to know I wasn't alone in getting deja vu of pinky ki butler that was my straight pehlu soch seeing those twins too. Yeah kaafi IB world setup ka deja vu feel hua in production value too but itna toh I was sure ke yeh gul ka nahi hai.. iska woh kmtmg is kaafi popular instantly since woh arijit gave a statement against Shahi toh am seeing more people catching up on that haha. Anything besides Leena is good i guess for now.

I still think there has to be some sort of total memory block for vikrant to totally forget everything caz woh bacha kaafi samjhdaar and well aware of his surroundings tha itna chota nahi tha ke poora bachpan hi bhool jaaye but I do like woh kaagaz ki kashti wala activity they have given him kaafi different hai from wohi usual shayar wala repetitive boring thing . Maa ke close lag raha hai and I also laughed ke yeh shabbir ki bhabhi from bhagya show is playing adnan ki mom..she also gave very pinky-ish vibe to Me in that phone call except she actually seemed to care for her SON and nit the paisa but we will have to see how that changes ince mannat comes into picture or as the relationship progresses with vikrant..lmao waise sabse faltu caring wise I felt was woh vikrant ka PA bohat hi chomu sa hai wannabee khanna

Bahahah the cgi were poor even woh baarish in gurudwara was so fake and only in partial frame bhai cgi toh poore frame main daal kete usme kaunsa paani lagna tha and baak8 yeah wih gurudwara ke fake bg frames if people walking here n there were hilarious but I would still be OK with it given ke kuch visually fresh toh tha jaise bhi world create kya rather then woh ditto same to same locations.i actually liked both the houses ka glimpse as of now mannat ka chawl bhi sweetly decorated tha jitna dikhaya

About malla toh kehne ki zaroorat mahi we know it in our bones uska kya hona hai but yes so far she herself doesn't seem obsessed with vikrant and didn't seem happy about her mom pushing her toh dekhte hain..hopefully isko sudden oyaar na ho jaaye yeh jaante hi ke behan ka hero hai woh but abhi ke liye I m ok ok with that girl

Ughhh this really is a remake of that 1 telugu film from '23 I think..I forgot the name but it was sooo misogynistic so highly problematic and toxic hardly entertaining but a huge hit.. but still this looks like 10x pathetic . Also why is no one now talking about "age difference" woh bhi selective aata hai..and what's with ji bhi obsession with teeth shots at start looked so much like toothpaste ad

Watched epi 5 of mannat and good as well..loved how this girl.was shown to be able to.protect herself on.her own without making koj bada scene against gunde zyada lhud hi sambhala phir hero aaya..another nice but jahan there was good range that paani wala bit was so cute and funny ke she thought usko de raha but woh khud pee raha tha..uske baad it wasn't the ladke but the news that affected her and she felt lost and dukhi and then how he again was trying to.lift her spirits but she byagooed uske baad I loved vikrant ka thought process on sab khud karne the pride he has being an achiever and how he cannot stand spoilt brats I lived his clear thoughts while talking to.mala too in the start but after the way he handled those tuche loser log on the party and mad them clean the place .baaki hospital main truth of shruti kibeemari was handled well too i was just happy about the pacing that so much got covered nicely while not being rushed mala was being super sweet and nice friend with mannat while vikrant bechara sochta hi reh gaya ke kahan gayab ho gayi ..mala is now onto I am calling vikrant right now and he will assist in maa ki beemari but mannat for now is too confused too shocked. Aage toh aayega hi vikrant but really enjoyable episode with all the drams but not going into melodrama so👏

Oh I also watched it late yesterday but forgot to post about it.

Ditto to what you said about liking how they showed Mannat standing up for herself and Malla when those guys were harassing them....especially kaise jawaab diya of their cheap talk of dhak ke rakho nahin toh koi bhi haath daalega....

Vik constantly looks amused or fascinated by Mannat....woh fight ke beech mein jab Mannat khud ghus ke gundo ko peetne ki koshish kar rahi thi, the way Vik turned around and looked at her with amusement before mouthing "I got this, relax"

And yeah the paani wala bit was refreshing....even though there is constant symbolism of him being her protector in the story, they add these light/irreverent bits to not make their scenes just about look look hawaa hawaa....Vik is fascinated by her but not flat/lattu types.

And he does seem to be very principled and disciplined about his work....they are giving him dialogues again and again about how this is his HARD WORK and dream....he is fierce about giving dignity to his hard work and dreams.....and baaki his contempt for spoilt brats who are just born with a silver spoon....lol seems like he doesn't take his wealth seriously at all and doesn't consider himself in that category....woh "self made" aspect is pushed about him more than being a rich kid. No wonder he has no patience for Malla cuz she gives constant spoilt brat vibes.

Waise Malla was decent in this epi with how she was trying to support Mannat with her mom's health issue....but baaki she is too much of a bimbo to ever understand the sensitivity of any situation....lol

Pacing was good indeed in the first week.....but I hope next week onwards Mannat ki job lag jaaye and restaurant wala track shuru kar dein.....
