Star Plus Afternoon Shows - Report Card!

Story: After the reincarnation, the show has really picked up well. The story mostly focuses on  the comic element which is new for the viewers of this show. The change from the old Sumit-Kumkum to the new reincarnated avatar of Sumit-Kumkum is worth an applause. The creatives have managed to give surprise elements in the story so far and really have given this serial a breath of fresh air!!

Repetition: As of now, nothing has been repeated, which is thanks worthy by the audiences to the creatives. The story is fresh and charming in every aspect, and what surprises is the humor element associated and the manner in which the lead pair are portraying their characters so impressively. Also the charm is more as the screenplay is great as well. Though the concept of contract marriage is shown in many shows before this, but here they have given it a new look and that is where lies the success.

Resemblance: Re-birth is a type of Leap without greying of hair.. If you don’t know where to take the story ahead, then kill the lead and show them taking birth all over again! But when it comes to TRPs, the rebirth track of Kumkum has really made the difference to the otherwise drag script...

Acting: All the actors are doing an amazing job; the lead pair is totally fantastic in their new avatar, doing comedy, emotions in a perfect zing. The only thing which would be prayed for is less use of body doubles which literally irritates the viewers to no extent. Husein in the new reincarnated avatar looks like the cute and  romantic Shahid in every way.

Story : Initially the show started on a promising note and is still reigning on the TRP charts!!! Story wise, its nothing new; the elder Jethanis trying to tame their Devrani Bhakti and wanting to use her as their slave forever. But what makes it gripping is the complete new cast and very innovative and novice screenplay and simplicity in story.. Thank god, there is no secret lying under the bed or behind doors or in the same house till now!

Repetition: As far as repetition is concerned, nothing much has got repeated. And we hope it doesn’t follow any, but having said this, the Devrani-Jethani version of story has always been a tried-and-tested formula in television!! But the high point in Humari Devrani is the Screenplay of this show which is its USP!

Resemblance: The show looks loosely inspired from the early 80's movies of Govinda, Mithun and Rishi Kapoor like Swarg, Ghar Ek Mandir and others.

Acting : All the actors are from theater, so definitely have a strong hold over the show. But the actors who with their innocence take the cake are Mohan and Bhakti. They surely are the scene stealers, as they are very new, and look very real portraying the charming and innocent characters.. This show is more watchable, not for the story but for these cute and adorable actors on screen...

Repetition: As we said before, the story is fresh but not being utilized by the makers and writers; they seem to be confused as what to show next, they take up something, drag it and suddenly end it in hurry! Veera and her antics are very same and give you the impression of 'You'd seen them just yesterday'!

Resemblance: There is hardly any scope of being different, so you can find the resemblance in every nook and corner. It now seems to be based more on three sisters than on their Grihasthi.

Acting : It’s a combination of great actors and fresh actors; on one hand you have Anand Suryanvanshi doing his job with utmost ease and finesse, Vaidehi like a veteran always calm, cool, collective but very effective and Shahbaaz Khan is very fierce in his expressions !  New actors of the show have not lived up to their mark, they look hesitant and less on confidence; and they could become the difference between success and failure of this show in times to come! 

Story : Nothing, don’t know why its still running in the slot!! First Shiv and Gauri got married, then Gauri was widowed with three kids in hand, she then married to seek revenge and now they are the cozy twosome, with problems coming and going. The latest Twist is inspired from the movie Judaai, which is again exploited by many shows beforehand!

Repetition: Its like going on and on and on and on....killing, seeking vengeance over one another, creating big dramas, and playing hide and seek is currently the cusp of the show. Looks like writers are reusing the other K-shows' screenplay here with just the actors, time and channel being different.

Resemblance: Well this show is going on the Judaai track right now, and before that we have seen many shows where leads from being super rich..suddenly become super poor!

Acting: Good actors are not used properly here. When you have actors like Yash Tonkk and Pallavi Subhash, you can use them more tactfully, but alas!!, they are just not utilizing their talent to full potential. Plus the rest brigade has numerous replacements that one doesn’t understand who was who before...If all this stops, we would be happy.
