They say FIRST IMPRESSSIONS MAKE LASTING IMPRESSIONS. I am trying hard not to fall prey to my opening phrase. If anyone from the production house is catching fan response, please start with appearances first and then we will get to acting.
1. Shivank looks like a BADLY PLUCKED CHICKEN - The curls with the buzz cut is a bad choice. Absence of the beard with an unkempt 5 o'clock shadow is not helping. Nakuul looks malnourished to me.
2. The new sidekicks may be good, but the slapstick is OTT.
3. Change Manjiri's clothes, jewelry and hair. Should not ape Annika. Poor kid has to fill in too big a pair of shoes. I am not sure if her physical resemblance to Surbhi will work in her favor or otherwise.
4. Please don't trivialize the roles of security and law enforcement personnel. They put their life and limb on line. Saw it happening to Khanna in Season 1. Khanna 1 had the personality of a bear (Aptly suited) but Khanna 2, to put in Tej Singh Oberoi's language - This SECURITY IS A JOKE.
Coming to the meat of the episode, acting prowess
1. Manjiri aka Inspector Aditi Vijay Deshmukh exhibits talent. Her performance in the Marathi Movie party that released in Sept 2018 was well received. I liked the khidki tod action sequence during today's episode but was difficult to take in as that window breaking hack is so Anika. Actually she reminded me more of Bhavya. That being said, Shivansh reminds me more of his chachoo, Rudra and his Chichorapan.
2. Hopefully for sometime the current stalwarts of the show, Dadi, Nani & Shivansh hold the fort as we warm up to the show.
