I guess by watching the Turkish version, you made comparisons inevitable.
As I've only seen the Indian version, and that had a very fresh vibe and appeal as compared to all other shows I see on itv nowadays. Especially compared with Star, Zee and Colors, this show seems like a boon in disguise. I really enjoy the acting of Tina, Jay and Cheshta as well. Feel like Kitu Gidwani can do better, as I've seen her work in the past too.
There's a lot of promise that the palace storyline holds. But the current kaalikh track feels regressive to me. I'd rather focus on Surili's adventures in Bombay as a cafe owner and businesswoman. Along with her family.
Shiv's assistant Bandish is played by Sapan Gulati. Its a difficult character to leave a mark in. Some episodes he's a blast, and then some he just goes overboard.
But yeah, this show and Katha Ankahee are the only ones worth watching on itv right now.
