waise this forum has so less members and even lesser interesting postmakers. thank god u r here.I really cannot fathom why the people are not feeling interested in this show.the story has such potential. excellent plot, innovative narrative style, sincere casts and wonderful bg song...what more u can ask...but naah i tried to pull so many of my IF friends into watching baawre and join this forum. koi interest nehi dekhi kyu ki apparantly the hero is not handsome enough to ogle and hence pique their interest. iss bewakoofi ka ab kyaa naam doon !😡 arre man, abhisek rawat is perfect for this role, he is a guy next door, very ordinary with extraordinary sensitivity and literary taste.he is a theatre director, an literary guy, he does not hav to be a hunk ! waise bhi i liked him when he appeared on pratigya before his character turned grey...infact i was shocked when they made a villain out of him ! i wish him and the female lead all the best for baawre...together they will rock, i am sure !accha i wrote so many inconsequential lines, enough to bore u and shooh me out of this thread😉😆

LOL yeah it's sad that this forum is so dead...but this is how things go...people are generally only attracted to shows with hot lead pairs or hot chemistry or whatever😆

This show is for a more niche audience that appreciates the kind of things being shown here...nuance, POETRY, thehraav, slice of life gems...these don't seem to appeal to the mass audience in general sadly...very few takers for it.

Even with NBT I remember how dead the forum was initially😆...and that despite the fact that Mohan-Megha were more interesting characters off the bat.

In this case, I also think Abhishek is perfect for Nikumb's role...he brings the needed body language and mannerisms to the character just right...and I've liked his role in Agle Janam before this also...I wasn't too sure about Vinita to begin with but I think now she's also apt for Yamini and together they are doing a good job.

Their chemistry/story is of the more subtle kind and subtlety generally doesn't have many takers😆

exactly , this show's standard is apparantly for audiences of more subtle tastes those who appreciate poetry, lyrical dreamy prose and a very realisistic story of an antihero. see, apparantly there is nothing heroic or charismatic in the guy nikumbh...he is very ordinary in every sense,he doesnot have big mansions,suvs and huge multimational company to command...he doesnot even look swoon worthy ( thank god! for a change, i am enjoying a guy who looks very much approachable and yet carries righteous pride for his talent )he is a struggling theatre director...who is ignored and is facing rejection because perhaps he is not too keen to sell his talent and has dislike of commercialization of art and finally coz there is very less appreciation for real artistic mediums. and that makes him supremely angry with these shallow people, those programme organizers, and he actually screams his frustrations loud...and hurls his contempt to those who had made art this cheap and commonplace. it is said that artists make their audience...if u presend cheep thrills u will obviously attract large number of people to enjoy that.common people likes loud entertainments...the reason why nearly every commercial bollywood film compulsarily dish out a masala item song with oomphy heroines making vulgar moves wearing nearly nothing and mouthing the lyrics that actually equates a woma's youth and body with tandoor murg, zhandu balm, saarab ki botal, beedhi and wat not ! how do u expect such people who catcalls and dances to these tunes appreciate nikumbh's effort.
