sg, well said...
young love stories where similarly aged people who come from different backgrounds, who are strong individuals and initially dislike each other but then fall in love despite their differences - there are many of those on TV.

They are dime a dozen. I am sure plenty on every channel not to mention many movies too. Bandini is unique and the launch clearly stated the base storyline. And the fact that it is doing so much better then Kitni must be an indication that audience prefers something different and unique.

Well, that is the premise of the show right from the beginning, how an 18 year old gets married to a much older man and then wins him and his family over and changes them for the better - this is what Ekta and Ronit said during their interviews before the show began. This is what Bandini is all about and thats not going to change, no matter how many side tracks. As for young love stories where similarly aged people who come from different backgrounds, who are strong individuals and initially dislike each other but then fall in love despite their differences - there are many of those on TV - infact theres one from Ekta camp itself that is currently running - Kitni Mohabbat Hai, except that it is in an urban setting.

sg08 agree with u....Bandini is abt DM and Santu's life and not abt Hit-Mi....Hit-Mi are just one of the side tracks just like kaddu-duggu...........there were and are many such shows where 2 youngsters fight and suddenly fall in love for eons now....to name a few Kutumb, Kasam se (pia-pushkar), miley jab hum tum (mayank-nupur)....

I guess it is more popular than KMH because:

1.Ronit Roy- If DM was played by any other less known actor or a new comer I doubt whether there will be so many watching it. KMH has new unestablished leads.

I don't think anyone watches a show just because the lead actor is well known. Maybe initially the lead actor, if he/she is well known and liked can pull in the audience but then show survives on its own merits. So, I don't think it is only because he is well known, but also because of his portrayal of DM. I think DMs character is very hard to portray and I think Ronit is doing a fab job, can't remember the last time there was a character like DM on TV. Apart from the emotions, all the nuances he brings to his portrayal, his body language, his Gujarati dialogues, all make him seem like a pukka rural landlord - someone you would actually see in a village in India. I haven't watched too many soaps in the past few years and never really understood why RR was considered the AB of TV, now I have an inkling. As for KMH not being as popular because it has new unestablished leads - so did/does Bidaai or Yeh rishta and they are the top-rated shows on television.

2. Bandini has a strong script which goes beyond DM-love story and covers a wide gamut of people and stories. It caters to varied tastes. There are people who watch it for DM-Santo and others who watch it for H-K. Still others who watch it for Shanks and Kaddu. KMH targets the younger lot hence viewers are also limited.

3.Not only the leads the support cast in Bandini is fantastic, even Motiben or champakali. They all do their part so well that it is a treat to watch them all do their bit.

True. RR is likely drawing the audience but because he is portraying a thakur like individual down to the T. Have to admit, being a gujju it's an added treat that he carries out the language, actions and all very easily and flawlessly. ⭐️

Totally agree with you on the script and cast. Each and every cast member is picked aptly for their role. And they are all doing a fab job. 👏

So many new comers...Mrunal, Shardul, Prerna, Leena, Akshita and more. And all showing great potential. Nice going.

Gawd I hope Ektaa Maii does not read this.....pssssst *whispering8
In the name of uniqueness, next she will have a 70 year old marrying a 18 year old! *phew* 😆

😆😆😆That's a good one. I guess with every soap the age gap widens - right from Bajaj-Prerna to Jai-Bani and now DM-Santo but this takes the cake because so many have to sacrifice their love for this one couple. First it was Shanks who turned from being a lover to her step-son and now it is Hiten and Khemi whose relationsip is being questioned because of DM-Santo relationship.

I think most of us are happy with Same Age individuals falling in love.......Thank-you!
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the DM-Santo track too, but maily coz of DM's strong acting.....

Me too! Wouldn't be watching this show if it had not been for Ronit and I did not even know him as an actor before this show.

but the so called "unique" concept of 50 + year old marrying a 18 year is Not unique by any standards!

Yes, it is not = atleast not for BT

We start spouting moralistic lectures about why Hiten should NOT be marrying Kheemi,
BUT by our standards of morals take a dip when it's DM-Santo allegiance......
I understand some people have a certain deferance towards DM's character coz they have itched him so well....it natural to have a certain adherence for him....
But to turn around and say it's okay to have 50 plus marrying a 18 year is pure sacrilege....blasphemy!!!

I only hope no matter how far DM-Santo love story go, they don not subject us to a Suhaag raat scene or a baby on the way scene (would'nt want DM to play with his son/daughter at an age when he has to play with his grandson/grand daughter). I would prefer to see their love story sensitively handled (as they have done so far) without emphasis on physical relationship.

hey, opti - good to see you posting.

my two bits -

in life, there have been many older men - younger women pairings, where they couple has been very much in love. i remember reading charlie chaplin's autobiography and the love with which he wrote about his 19 year old wife - when he was himself over 60 was genuinely touching. and they did have children and a happily married life.

i think we should be more accepting of all kinds of relationships as long as they don't hurt other people.
