I'm actually pleasantly surprised (a lil). Mostly confused cause what in the world is going on???? But a lil pleasantly surprised.
The new bgm for Imlie 2.0 and love interest sounds so good - like I'm into it! I have faith in Arif to create some magical chemistry cause he's so good with that.
I was worried about Cheeni - worried about her heading into the same direction as Aarohi (yrkkh) where she's psychotic and tortures Imlie for no good reason but they seem to have a camaraderie that's adorable with the handshake. I understand some of her insecurities and rn I don't hate her character. Props to the actress too.
But for the most part I don't understand the story.
- I don't understand why Narmada hates Imlie and not cheeni since I expected it to be the other way around (you're the daughter of the woman who killed my arylie) but nope. She despises Imlie.
- I don't understand why Imlie was originally living in PD (did Narmada hate her right after Arylie's death and send her to Meethi?) and then brought to the Rathores.
- I don't understand how Cheeni started calling her Imliya (maa se bhi badkar idol) Imlie
- Didn't Cheeni call Narmada and Meethi 'Nani' - did she stop seeing Meethi entirely after Arylie's death and have complete memory loss?
- Also the intro by Sumbul confused me a lil - why wasn't she giving Cheeni an intro too, cheeni was her reason for being when she separated from Aryan
- Also, where is Arpita and Sundar's son?
- what are these girls dreams? Imlie was very clear about her dreams from the start and in the intro, she kept mentioning Imlie 2.0's dreams but what are they?
Not the biggest fan of the makers trying to replicate Imlie with Imlie 2.0 (clothing and everything - she's also Aryan's daughter and I want to see both sides to her as well as individuality).
Makers, despite your fabulous cast Aditya was butchered, Malini was butchered, Narmada and Aparna had their insane periods - keep these girls sane please. Keep imlie and malini likeable. That's my request.
Sumbul, Gashmeer, Fahmaan, I miss yall
