Yes indeed ... it had some very good moments. Lot of them initially. They knew how to give focus to all characters without compromising on the story of the lead pair.

Otherwise the first few months were very good indeed.



I was thinking SP ka bhi kya budget hai...they know how to DOLL UP their actors, don't they? Waise isn't it ironic considering that SGP was initially known for it's SIMPLICITY? But by the end and the last promo they have to GLOSS UP...kyunki aajkal sirf GLOSS chalta hai...chaahe original soul is lost somewhere in taking care of all the window dressing.

Yes, we couldn't identify with it anymore...once the connect is gone, it's just gone...I can't watch something even for the "relatively" better moments then...they butchered all the characters systematically...and I wasn't interested in watching caricatures.

You know what Anu, THAT is exactly what I thought when I saw the promo - I was like woah, even the sets look glam-med up. You are right they systematically butchered the characters one after the other and then we couldn't care for them anymore. A serial is not made of few good moments unfortunately... It has to tie it holistically to the entire plot. I can understand that when the serial is a daily, there are going to be some dull moments. Lekin if the overall essence of the story is lost, you stop connecting with the characters or what happens to them.

Like you mentioned in some post - even with NBT - the ONLY thing that's bothering me about the Rash track is the lie. Other than Mohan having pangs of conscience, no one seems to be caring about it. The entire track looks like it has no substance to it. Perhaps the makers wanted to give it a Golmaal (old movie with Amol Palekar and Uttpal Dutt) like treatment. But unfortunately the experiment seems to have failed on people like us because it is so out of character for everyone involved in the first place.

NBT does in general have a bit of an Amol Palekar movies ki situational comedy waala feel to it too...but wohi toh baat hai that with comedy or these slice of life dramas like NBT is you have to walk a bit of a fine line cuz if you DRAG something out, then it starts to lose credibility.

This lie, this drama was good for one or two times...like Mohan himself even said in one of his convos with Megha or Guru I think...but aise kheench rahe hain aur aisa complete lack of regard for it's serious ramifications is what's making it lose credibility...yes everyone wants to see nice, light, happy moments and nobody wants tension but story ke flow ke hisaab se bhi chalna padta hai.

We are getting some good moments like the Addu-Mohan bits in b/w but overall toh I dunno...I'm not feeling as satisfied with NBT these days.

I am really upset that even NBT forum is turning out like other forums on I-F! SUCH intolerance ! Here I was thinking that for once, just for once, we've found a forum where we can be have open minded and objective discussions without being labelled!

I know Kavya. Earlier there used to a few threads here and there that had some sort of "discussion" going on but now most are just DROOLING threads and to top it all filled with Geet phangurls and even that CHEMISTRY director's phangurls. eh...i don't venture out of Anu's thread and now even she's not making one each day because well there's nothing much to say except rant.

Anyone who hasn't seen the new SBB stuff from today, here it is---

Geeez! This director is literally every bit of MM and NBT essence with all this. Earrings and open hair stuff is SO his way of evoking CHEMISTRY. ***gags*** This is SO not Mohan. Why are they coercing such silly stuff on him? Even Kunal didn't seem into the scene.

So, the sunday special will be filled with all these EPIC chemistry scenes. 🤢

Dude, there was some other thread in which some people started lashing out at us for criticizing, Mash and I got into a tiff with them, sort of! It is pissing me off that not only the show but the forum is also turning out like other hawt-forums :S
