Some thoughts on first episode of Fanaa... - Page 3

@Bold on a serious note despite of this shit, there were "fans" of this character Vansh who actually "Enjoyed" the show 🤪lol

Anyways in Anjaam, SRK was not best friend of Madhuri. Madhuri didn't know his family either. They were strangers who had met in the airport or something 🤔

And coming back to Ishaan, ya he is likeable but mysterious also. Being a doctor he played for some stupid bet? 🤔 Also when he met Paakhi he was kinda buttering her at the start only. He said something like "tum jaisi ladki pe koi bhi fidda hojaye etc etc" It seemed as though he was up to something... some ulterior motive I think...

Let's see how this thing plays out.

I think Ishaan will turn out to be the main villain. Something like this will happen like the mystery man who everyone thinks is Agastya supposedly kills Ishaan and Pakhi marries Agastya to supposedly take revenge of Ishaan's death. Cue some falling in the arms, jungle me jhopdi me kucch time bitaana and love story will start... meanwhile a man in mask will watch their every move from shadows...and surprise surprise Ishaan is alive who will be revealed to be either the illegitimate son of Agastya's father or has some vendetta against him.

Season 1 was stretched and I didn't care for the actors. Attempted season 2 because I like Helly and Vishal but the nonexistent story and terrible acting by all including the wooden male lead was a huge turn off. Helly and Vishal tried their best but the rest of the cast let them down. I will never understand the popularity of season 2 or the lead pair.

I am trying to watch this season because I like Zain and Akshit, and even Reem to an extent but only in age appropriate roles. She is seriously miscast in this show. The IMMJ series is too mature for someone of her age. I get that this isn't IMMJ as such since the PH is different, regardless, still too mature for Reem. She may work with Akshit but so far I don't think her and Zain make sense. Reem is a talented young lady but she has a long career ahead of her and this is not the show for her yet.

Agastya seems to be a complex character but Pakhi is equally one-dimensional. Him being obsessed with her makes no sense except that he had the misfortune of knowing her since forever. I feel that I may just sympathize with the villain, (going by the promos) Agastya than caring much for the basic Pakhi.

I happen to have watched most of the Reem's shows since her childhood. One thing I've noticed about her. She's really good in those extrovert, cheerful, outspoken roles but she doesn't do well in those quiet, intense, only speaking through her eyes role. I think among her generation, only Jannat has some sort of aptitude to play the quiet roles but she cannot play badass kind of roles. I've watched her as Laxmi, Rimjhim, Kaurwaki and Kalyani and the basic traits of all of them were similar. She doesn't have the mysterious aura required for a thriller. Same is true for Zain and Akshit. Though Akshit is doing better than these two, but mostly he plays the roles of seedha saada bechara with his wife rescuing him every time. But this time his character has a different shade and it would be nice to have a soft spoken villain who is not over the top.

I mean like in movie Anjaam, the interactions between SRK and Madhuri had that tension and sparks. I think Fanaa is also going the way of IMMJ2 because the FL doesn't do anything by herself. She's saved from all troubles due to the mystery man. She has no personality traits except being super positive. Even that trait is the result of her mystery man. Frankly the only person I like in this show is Ishaan. But obviously, makers will kill his character after 15-20 episodes so that Pakhi and Agastya wedding happens.

And the mess season 2 was...like Vansh was a mafia but he did nothing wrong...seriously? Itni intelligence laate kahaan se hain. The word Mafia itself means a kingpin in all illegal and nefarious works. Everytime I got a look at the show, Riddhima was at the verge of crying.

The best point of season 1 was all three leads- Arohi, Deep and Tara were strong and intelligent- though Arohi started as a naive girl and the makers again snatched her intelligence after plastic surgery- but I still remember the scene when Arohi killed a person trying to molest her brutally.

So I hope that the show follows the track of Anjaam instead of simply another story with a damsel in distress.

I'm really hoping that they could give Pakhi a good characterization. I'm done with the damsel in distress roles in the IMMJ franchise. Helly is a good actress, but they only use her in cringe-cry moments. She cried every episode, like wth 😕

A mafia did nothing wrong?😭 so why is he a mafia lmao? Being Kabir is an evil mastermind was a wrong decision. He still can't be the endgame with Riddhima because this franchise concept is literally toxic relationships. 😆 Weren't Deep and Tara are serial killers and doing everything for each other? but Vansh did nothing wrong, so dumb decision for writers sorry not sorry.

They really don't have to make "Ishaan is the bad one twist". Really. Just use Agastya for it. He can be Tara lol

I've watched Helly in Swaragini and Laal Ishq before. And Helly was literally good as a wronged, vengeful chudail in laal Ishq who lures and traps her husband's son by other marriage to take revenge. But her crying face and wide eyed expression in IMMJ2 got on my nerves. For Pakhi, I always root for anti-heroines or heroines who learn the rules of the game to fight back. But I don't have any hopes. The previous show from the production literally had Zain's character marry his sister-in-law who killed his father and it was not for revenge, it was to bring out the innocent girl buried inside the woman who killed his father, give his mother medicines to disturb mental balance and was married to his brother. I mean how can a man, that too a protagonist marry his sister in law and father's murderer.

I mean, it's a soap opera every taboo can happen in there lol

I'm just coping that Pakhi wouldn't be another Riddhima

Unfortunately it's going the same way as season 2

@bold that was Shrenu n her fans 🤢

The main reason why TV series quality is falling is due these silly fds

To hell with the story and main plot as long as they get trps they will show anything. Though that show didn't even get trps but makers were desperate and therefore they fell for the fd s

That show was such a major disappointment.

Didn't understand why Shrenu had even signed for that show if she was not willing to play the villain???🤢 👎🏼 Such insecurity! 👎🏼

They did Tanvi really bad in that show. I hate this fandom culture that resorts to manipulating things and bullying those who don't agree to it. I remember when I was 12, there was an almost maniac craze for Dharti ka Veer Yoddha Prithviraj Chauhan and literally most girls of my class including me crushed hard on that guy but we were sensible enough to separate reality from fiction.

That show by the same pH was really weird. Like however one's father is evil, but how can one marry their father's murderer? And not just father, the female lead in that gave wrong medicines to even ml's mother to disturb her mental balance.. sab maaf?

I just started watching this show for Reem and I was hoping for an Anjaam movie like track where stalking is shown as crime and the stalker as a villain. But idhar ye log stalking, murder sabko glorify karenge sacche pyaar ke naam par

Hmmm well Anjaam was soon disturbing. Doubt they will show such kind of story on TV.

Let's see what they have planned.

All I want is no fd should be able to manipulate or change the main plot of the story thats it.

They already tried that track in season 1 when Arohi miscarried and jailed. Her jailer sold the jail inmates and sells Arohi to a lecherous man. Then Arohi brutally kills that man in his own house as he tries to force himself upon her.

I had no doubts about fandoms cos Akshit's fans are very less and Zain has a much stronger fandom so I knew they would show Zain as the hero, which I feel is a bit unfair. It would be better if they let Zain be the grey character like Jennifer's Maya in Beyhadh. I think only Ek Haseena Thi of Star Plus carried that obsessive lover track the best.
