Slower storytelling and depth

A few episodes in, when Kabir disappeared for a couple of episodes, and the focus was on Myra's family, I was conscious of a feeling of impatience. When would they meet again? When would their story go forward? And then they had Rhea sing a song, and covered the entire song.

You are right. The beauty of Bin Kuch Kahe lies in the way they present mundane life in a comical yet relatable way. It takes some time to get into it but once you are in, there is no turning back.

As you watch on, you'll see even more how this stands out. The couples interact not through eyelock & catch/fall but rather through conversation. And neither of them are perfect or holier than thou. They come with their flaws and imperfections. And they grow.

I feel sad that there's little audience for this amazing gem.

That is the charm of the show. All characters are layered, and the show takes it time to develop each character. Most shows have one-dimensional supporting cast. Here each one is layered and has a story. We had been waiting for Abha's story as well right from the start, and the writers do not seem to have disappointed.

As for the audience... oh well. It lacks drama. The male lead is a truly progressive guy. The girl is opinionated but has a major reason to be so. It talks about the hot topics such as bullying and depression in a very undramatic way. Deals with topics like single parenthood without judging. No audience for that.

That said, I am sure there would be a lot many on IF who would be interested. But very few know the show even exists.

Myrah was rude with Kabeer perhaps she wants to hide her feelings towards him, which is normally shown the other way in other serials.

this is a problem with all of zee show, they are not promoted, the only show that zee promotes is KKB, every other show has to look after itself.

Thanks for replying.

And yes the eye lock and catch fall is not only unrealistic but done to death. I'm glad they are not going that way.

As for the audience, the thing is that most people don't like to give things a chance that are not already what they are accustomed to. If they can't get into it quickly, then most of them would drop out and not try and get into it at all.

Sometimes I think that content wise this show could have been a web-series. They would have found more appreciation because the audience online brings very different expectations to what they watch. But perhaps 157 episodes was too much for online content providers? Or wish they had sold it to Netflix. That would have given them great international exposure. There are so many small Indian films and documentaries that I have got to see courtesy Netflix that I wouldn't have had otherwise.

This will come on Netflix soon I feel. Notice that a few ZEEL shows that have had relatively short runs have been added on Netflix.

So this after the show has finished airing, may turn up on Netflix some months afterwards.
