Oh wonderful. Good. Thanks very much Leena & Vrsharma!
Well, friends. Try and keep it organised. If RR is going to read everything, might as well make it clear and to the point. (I bet I'm gonna end up ranting after saying that. đ€Ș)

Bandini is still filled with high potential & the actors consistently provide quality performances, but over all the drama itself is slowly but surely loosing it's unique story lines. It's becoming more like every other drama I've seen in life, and the story lines are recycled ideas. Looking at the Bandini forum, anyone can see that 90% of viewers didn't like the Anamika track, didn't want the Arjan being DM's son track and more over were highly dissapointed at the news of a leap. The whole Anamika track didn't make any sense, because in real life such a problem could have been sorted very quickly by a parental DNA test. (DM's children could have provided their DNA swabs and matching them with Anamika would have instantly resulted in the truth being shown.)
And then came Arjan's track, this time a DNA test sheet was shown but viewers found this more comical than thrilling. đ Apparently, Arjan has Lactobacillus in his DNA. A bacteria found in yogurt, cheese...etc. Mistakes are made, but this was a highly unusual one.
Although I've only pointed out the bad bits, there are many good sides of Bandini which I will list below. The above fustrations were expressed so perhaps in future, a bit more effort is put into bringing a bit more of a real life scenario. It's why people started watching Bandini in the first place, because of the real life element it had.
Likes:
1. Maulik & his glasses. đ On a serious note. The character makes sense, the complex nature of his feelings and thoughts are explained very well.
2. Santu has finally been educated after leap.
3. Shashanks loyalty to Santu.
4. Santu's new hairstyle.
5. Abhigail Jain portraying Monghi, I feel she will be able to show the younger Monghi's charectistics very well. Monghi was a naughty but sweet child, which Abhigail will show well.
6. Hiten has remained the good guy after the leap, thank God!
7. Shardul's acting. Excellent.

Dislikes
Most of my dislikes have been pointed out in the views section but here are a few more.. đ€ Mostly material views I guess.
1. Hiten after leap. What is he wearing?! It's more comical. DM (RR) was able to pull off that look because he is mature and it suits him. The dhoti, mooch and combed back hair doesn't suit the character Hiten or Mrunal. Please, bring back the waistcoat, shirt and trousers!
2. DM after leap. In the promo he had basically a white mooch. Come on, he's not that old! Theres no reason to be so extreme with make-up! We all like DM the way he was, perhaps a few white streaks in his hair but don't go overboard!
3. I like Maulik's glasses, but a person in their mid 20's doesn't go around wearing a brown suit. I thought Maulik had more class. Perhaps a smart shirt, designer trousers..
4. Khemi after leap. As per the promo of 25th January, she slaps Champakali and speaks of social class. That makes no sense. She's from a low caste herself technically! No matter what, I can't believe a character like Khemi can change her views THAT drastically.
5. Can someone please tell me why Tarulata Waghela is still in the M-Mansion after leap? Wasn't she meant to be in Kanji's home?
What I wish to see in Bandini in the future:
1. All above Dislikes to be remedied. (I beg of you, at least give Hiten back his trousers! đ€Ł)
2. Santu to grow a true backbone, one that allows her to stand up for herself. She should not boast about having an education from Jail if she's not going to USE it.
3. DM not giving up until he finds out the truth about Birwa being the killer.
4. Monghi to put Khemi in her place. (In the nicest way possible. Ahem.)
5. The most important: MORE KANJI! We miss him. :(
And WHOA. I've ranted A LOT. Sorry! đ€Ł
