Finally, someone is making sense! Honestly, Ghum 3 is unlikely to last beyond six months—this might even be its final run. It’s been nearly a month since the show started, yet the audience still can’t connect with the leads or the storyline. The primary issue? Both the plot and the characters—especially Neil—are painfully dull.
Mukta’s writing doesn’t help either, she’s selfish AF. She’s blatantly inconsistent—on one hand, she firmly states that neil can never marry teju, but the next moment, she’s praising Neil in front of her daughter, insisting acha adami acha adami devta adami. 🤡The contradiction is exhausting and makes her character feel selfish and unreliable.
Yeah, sure, we can cut them some slack—StarPlus didn’t promote the leap or the leads much, the episodes are just 15 mins, and there’s no connection to past characters. But none of that changes the core problem: the story simply isn’t compelling enough.
Neil’s character, instead of being a refreshing "green flag," comes across as an obsessive total creep, one-note individual fixated entirely on " Aparajita Aparajita, Aparajita" on repeat—a woman who dont give two sh*ts abot him. A well-written "green flag" character should be multi-dimensional, with depth and nuance, but Neil lacks both.
The reality is, audiences are mostly drawn to conflict and tension between leads—it’s the classic push-and-pull dynamic that keeps viewers invested. If that’s missing, the show at least needs strong, engaging characters—but Ghum 3 offers neither. Given how Neil’s character is being portrayed, it’s unlikely even the trp audience will find him appealing.
I’m calling it now—the trp will be around 1.4-1.5 might go even lower. And with ipl coming up, no show performs well during that time. So yeah… Ghum is in trouble.
