Ensemble Cast of Bandini! - Page 2

Soapie, you're right on the money with your comments about the cast of Bandini - each and everyone of them has a character that looks the part, and also fits into the story beautifully! Even at this early stage of the show, every single character is pulling their weight and making the whole thing work 👍🏼

So far, my favourite characters are Dharamraaj Mahiyavanshi (obviously! 😆 ), Nana ji (he really does look the part, and I'm sure that the character is striking a chord with the audience), Pinakin (he has a great rapport with DM, and I'd guess that there will be some explanation provided as to why he has the prestigious position of being DM's second-in-command), and also, the eldest of the 3 sisters (I think she is doing a great job!).

The guy playing the role of sadu-bhai Virat Sangvi, I remember him best for the role of Satish in Hasratein... but since them, I have seen him one or two Gujju serials on Zee Gujarati. After just one episode, Virat Sangvi is actually reminding me of Shakuni from Ekta ji's Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat ki 😕 Both characters have that serpent like slyness to them, and so that's probably why.

As well as the cast, I think that the crew are all doing a fantastic job also 👏

The direction and production values are definitely a cut above recent Balaji Telefilms shows, and the overall story telling technique is much improved 😊

And finally, would I be watching if Ronit Sir was not involved with the show? ... In all honesty, I probably would have watched the show at some point, but I know for a fact that I definitely would not be on this forum if Ronit Sir wasn't part of Bandini! 😆

With me, I tend to watch at least a few episodes of all Balaji Telefilms shows that air on either Zee, 9X, or NDTV (because those are the only channels I have 😆 ) in the UK... I watch them, and if I think that the show has substance, I'll keep watching.

When Kitani Mohobbat Hai airs on NDTV here in the UK, I'll check that out also... but because it has none of my favourite actors in it, I'm not going to bother watching it online.

I'm very impressed with Bandini so far - I think it has a LOT of potential 👍🏼

God bless.

This is a really intriguing topic... While i would like to pretend to appreciate the soap and its authencity by saying that the storyline/look/cast(excluding RR that is) got me hooked,but the fact is that would be real big fat lie... It was ronit who got me watching it, to the level that after watching Bandini, i went online and saw a few old scenes from kasautii.. Coz i wanted to make sure that this was the same guy who played Mr.Bajaj.. The two characters are so different, but yet so similar... While the other people have also been cast aptly, nanaji for eg.(the scene wherein he wasn't allowed inside the factory, had me choking up a bit), casting of ronit as dharmraj was perfect... If there was someone else playing dharmraj, whoever it would have been, would have given the role his best, and probably it would have been good as well, and i would have watched an episode or two, and then moved on..But at the end of the day, we all know that,and it is a fact that Dharamraj is made for ronit just as ronit is made for dharamraj..
