~Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat ~ pg:37 RaShi Interview - Page 26

Indian TV's favourite on-screen jodi Sakshi Tanwar and Ram Kapoor are back with ALT Balaji's web series Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat. The show premiered on April 16 and the first five episodes are free (full episodes are available for Rs 60 per month).

The story of the web series revolves around two starkly opposite individuals who are brought together by fate. The guy is a Bollywood actor, who was once a superstar but now his career is going downhill, while the girl happens to be a de-addiction counsellor. The web series will give you a feel of watching Bade Achhe Lagte Hai, but sans their over-indulging families.

Here are few things that we liked about Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat:

The actress who has wowed us with her performance in Amir Khan starrer Dangal is amazing as Tripura Sundari Nagrajan. Yes, that's her full name. She has de-addicted 124 people till now and Karan Khanna (played by Ram Kapoor) is her 125th case. According to her cousin, her professional success rate might be 100 per cent but her personal life's success rate is zero. She leads not so happening and lonely life with a fixed routine that hasn't experienced any change over the years.

Ram Kapoor plays a larger than life character of Karan Khanna, whose films have been bombing in the box office for the last three years. Nowadays, all that he is offered are commercials of oil and underwear. Ram suffers from alcoholism and his constant failures has turned alcohol into his best friend and his friends into enemies. Ram's quite a natural as Karan Khanna, the Bollywood actor, who once was at the peak of his career and now can't fathom the fact that his career is going downhill.

3. Tripura and Karan's chemistry

In an interview Sakshi said that she is quite opposite Ram and that is what works in their favour. And we couldn't agree more. Both Tripura and Karan are poles apart but what makes them similar is their loneliness. Their first meeting is quite an event, as both of them share a mutual dislike for each other. But they reach truce and start with the de-addiction program. It's fun watching their banters. Let's see how Karan gives Tripura the wings to fly while Tripura provides him with the roots.

The series has been conceptualised by Ekta Kapoor and if the series reminds you of Bade Achhe Lagte Hai, then blame it on Muzammil Desai, director of the series; who was also the director of Bade Achhe Lagte Hai. The story is interesting, as it involves a commoner and a former superstar, and how they find solace in each other's company. If it would have been a daily soap, the story that progressed from first meeting to a Mahabaleshwar trip in three episode, would have taken at least three months.

Though the leads are quite lonely in their lives but still they have a shoulder to cry on. While Kavi Shahstri as Vishal plays a good friend to Karan, Tanvi Vyas is good as Sherry - Tripura's flatmate and cousin who keeps pushing her to enjoy life. None of them are over the top and is quite a relief than the usual loudmouth scheming relatives in daily soaps.
