Heart warming Dosti..Yariyaan.. Manmarzian !!

Hey all Manmarzians ,

This show has been such a heart warming one where the intricacies of the friendship are detailed amazingly. I have stopped watching TV shows in general due to the regressive thoughts being portrayed on screen. For me it was always to respect humans as humans and treat them as you want to be treated by any other rather than inflicting pain on people in any way. Sadly, most TV shows carry with the second funda mentioned.

I will get deeply attached to a show if it is dealing with human emotions , relationships and the complexities in a more realistic way and DYM is a show where in everything is shown in such an endearing way. Sadly, I haven't watched this lovely piece of work until I stumbled into it in the last few weeks to say the last two weeks , that too when my younger sister was watching it religiously from the beginning and we haven't even discussed about it at all which was really a surprise to me, I really felt bad for not being a part of this forum and a viewer of this lovely show until last few weeks and had watched entirely on hotstar ,this hit me in the gut telling me that I missed the 3 and half month of such a fresh breather into the Television. All that I have is-- had I been here , I could have made amazing friends in this journey, many csuch ould have and would have's .

I do not have anything to say about what went wrong, be it TRPs or the timings or anything on those lines , which I majorly feel is due to the timings of the show, had it been given a prime time slot like 8 or 8;30pm , probably it would have been watched by more people . For me , this show was everything that could be shown on TV , lovely guidance from parents , family, a friend who supports you in your lows and tells you to own up to the wrongs done when you are at wrong -

Neil -this was the first person that charmed me and made me feel go awww... coz everyone of us will have one such friend to hold us together when we go into abyss or lift us up from our bad mood, do masti with us and all, it might not be one person , but you'd identify the traits of your friends in this one character .This was the character that made me feel , yaar koi ek banda aise ho toh I will definitely not take them for granted and I will have to cherish them forever . Shravan Reddy- played it with such ease, you cannot do anything but fall in love with this character

Sam- she is today's girl dealing with complexities that life has thrown her way, some that were due to selff inflictions yet trying to bottle it up and show amazing strength to the face of the world, in her case even to make a place for herself and gain that love from her Mom. She has strength , and when she loses it , it is her bff Neil she sought the strength from.But , apne hi duniya main itne uljhe hui hai ki , she does not see, how her behavior is affecting the one's who truly loves her. She has flaws in her , as in self centered and all, she was seeking for some kind of love from outside and what better than a charming, intriguing and handsome man Arjun,who can charm the way for ulterior motives . Kashmira Irani made this role so relatable as a friend and that too with all the flaws in her she rectifies them when need be.

Radhika- She is such an innocent, principled , stubborn girl but with all the respect towards the family. Radhika is a happy soul in her own world , with a happy family and great support from them. She does not have as many complex situations as Sam or Arjun faced.What made me connect to this character is her sheer selflessness to protect her loved ones . She is always the one who says it is wrong when it is wrong, be it in the case of her dad feeling ashamed of her Dadaji, or Arjun , she shows them the mirror in the right way. Radhika is innocence and strength personified . All of us have that little innocence how much ever we grow and draw strength from the morals that we believe in. Radhika is a determined character with very good instincts . Monica played it amazingly with her subtle expressions and eyes!!

I do not know why but I have always felt that Arjun is going to fall for Radhika and not Sam from the beginning , it has always been that way and the show might be planned just that way coz Arjun as a character is complex , he needs someone who thinks and puts everything straight and someone who is untouched with this so called complexties of corporate or any such politics, he needs freshness in his life, so Radhika is that soul .Sam needs some one who could pick her up , enjoy her innocence and masti, and Neil wore his heart on his sleeve. So when I watched the episodes , I felt the characters were sketched to end up like this .

Arjun- I loveee him , such characters with layers have always been my favorite . It is such a pleasure that we have been watching many such men on television these days like that but Arjun has style, suave and charisma which would woo any girl. He was on a mission initially but Radhika Mishra happened to him and them he was questioned by his conscience . What followed was just pure magic . Aham Sharma has given it all, the subtle expressions, the guilt, his amazing voice moduclation, expressions flew out from every part of his face and posture, he screamed Arjun as a character is here to stay in everyone's hearts forever with his performances. Aham just nailed every shade of the character, he made us feel like hitting Arjun on the head for doing such stupidity, made us feel bad for Arjun's situation ,my heart went out to Arjun as a character many a times and Aham just sheer brilliance .

Had DYM been given good amount of time, marketing and a very good time slot we might have had another ASR that would be talked and remembered in the history of television !!

For me DYM has given good take home factors, be a friend like Neil, a natural like Sam to own up to the mistakes and rectify them, pining to have an inner good human like Arjun as a husband and beliefs in the goodness of the world like Radhika to take on the world by just spreading goodness , light and happiness in this world.

A dedication to all the DYMians , cast, crew and all the friends, the theme of DYM for me is _

To the persons who can make me smile anytime,

Some people you take for granted. But that never makes them any less important.

On this special day, let me be grateful to you,

Bad times or good times,You make my day.

Life is a long, arduous, and tortuous road.

Owing that friends like you are just around the corner is what makes the journey easier..

I will always be close on your heels. Be assured that there are many of us to catch if you fall..

Keep Smiling and keep going...

PS - I really wish to stay in touch with the amazing folks here in the forum. Hoping you'd let me know how though. Loads of love

you wrote every thing beautifully it is one show which today's generation can connect . I don know what went wrong . Sad it got over ... A show which never made me cringe and I can proudly say I am a fan of manmarziyan

The ending is perfect..couldn't have asked for more...so realistic. It's good they ended the show in short span instead of dragging and ending it at a point when viewers lost their interest. The only thing that is not good is star plus ending it citing trps as a reason. This show is anything but not a flop.

Lovely post and beautiful dedication,

Like you, many here discovered show rather late...I guess that was the true failure of SP. No promotions at all.

Again, like you I happened to catch a glimpse of Shravan in a segment in SBS and thought he looked interesting. When I decided to watch it, it was already June but I did see some scenes here and there. Aslo saw the first meeting of Arjun and Sam. But didn't pursue it till I saw a promo of Arjun pinning a pic of Sam on the wall. I was intrigued that he should be focusing on Radz instead of Sam.

After that, I 've been eating drinking sleeping MM.

That was an amazing review on the entire journey and personality of our 4 leads. I should admit it here that i was just too surprised to see something that had a great concept something that was close to day to day life, simple and yet meaningful, on Indian telly. And i completely agree on the part that the channel did not give the show a proper time slot and enough promotions. I myself started watching the show about 2 months back. If at all the channel had given the show their support i am sure this show would have been the trend setter for every channel.
