I think this show has the most incredible actors. Lets face it the storyline is about the weakest that I have ever witnessed. The incredibly illogical scenes are sometimes so far-fetched and stretches reality. eg: Gauri is slashed with a sword twice, Om saves her from the villagers because ??? he then abandons her (she should have been at deaths door) and she miraculously survives to fight another day for the Singh Oberoi clan. The colour co-ordinated outfits are silly. Garish makeup and silly costumes could have been stolen of the IPKKND 3 sets. The only thing this show has going is the incredible acting skills that is why I watch it.

Sadly however I believe that the story that has the greatest potential is either being rushed through or sidelined. Omkara's story should be given centre stage. His life has been turmultuos experiences. He is the epitome of the dark misunderstood hero. betrayed by his lover, has father issues. He has finally found someone who loves him unconditionally. The impact of this couple could surpass that of ARSHI (who i adore) or PARUD (steamiest couple ever) but their is no connection.

Since the merge, the screen time allocated to this couple is so limited that we cannot connect. The latter DBO episodes showed Omkara beginning to appreciate Gauri. Their was an inkling of a spark which led to nothing.

With a star cast like this the sky is the limit. I have not seen any of these actors in shows previously as we in SOUTH AFRICA do not get Indian serials on main stream tv. I have watched RANGRASIYA & IPKKND on the net found them to be extremely good. When I began watching DBO I was not aware that it was a spinoff. I could not wait for them to connect, but they are so rarely in the same frame that we cannot see if there is that electrifying connection. Omkara and Chulbul had it, despite the disguise. They were always aware of each other when they were in the same frame, even if the focus were not on them. Let see if Gauri and Om can light up the fireworks. Writers you have and incredible cast. You could be on the brink of greatness.
