Now that with the entry of Anuj Sachdeva we have awesome lead actors, I have been wondering what's missing in CC. Even though we have not had intense romance, based on the last few scenes I can tell that SI and AS are capable of creating impressive chemistry. For me, they certainly click together.

I am not sure how many of you have watched KavynAnjali, a starplus show few years ago. This is the only Indian television show that I can tell had extremely well-developed characters, perfect actors in each role, consistent and gripping plotline, profound script, lovely background score, etc. I started watching the show when it was midway and never missed an episode. Now that it's on Star Classics, I decided to watch the missed episodes but I ended up watching the entire show all over again - this is extremely surprising because I would never ever watch an Indian show twice. To make an off-topic remark: while watching Kavyanjali I also realized how badly written was one of the Indian shows I cherished in the recent past - IPKKND. Please note that I am talking in terms of a whole show not just the chemistry of its lead actors.

I also figured that KA shares some significant elements in its plotline with CC. The war between Anjali and her mother-in-law was a central theme in KA. Even though the war between CC and Umabehn would be for different reasons, once again we'll see the face-offs between MIL and DIL. Like Umabehn, Kavya's mother Nitya has a dual face. She's the ideal mother and wife for the family but only few members are aware of her actual selfish motives. When I saw the scene between Manav and Umabehn on his marriage night where he stated that he can give up his life for her happiness, it reminded me of Kavya and his selfless love for his mom. Perhaps Kavya was a level above Manav but Manav is certainly taking the same path.
Like KA, CC too has perfect actors for almost every role now. They don't need to revamp the storyline to make it more interesting for the younger audience. The significant difference between the two in my opinion is that while in KA both the love story and the MIL-DIL war were equally central, CC's main focus will be on the battle as Sanaya stated in one of her interviews. They should show an intense love story between CC and Manav so that their separation in the future will have the desired impact.
I am not saying that they should recreate KA (I doubt that can happen cuz I believe even the makers of IPKKND did not hit that level). All I am saying is that the makers of CC should not sideline the love story in order to foreground the MIL-DIL clash.
In fact a profound love story can intensify the clash. Above all, a show is essentially a story like a novel and I highly doubt you'll find one central theme in any well-written literary piece.
I'd appreciate if you could share your views on this cuz I really want to know your opinion too.
