But lets not bash Dev.😳The upcoming promo shows he had a hair cutand his acting is still quite good.But then armaan 's character was so well defined that we just cant compare.

They do Sharmi, they do 😭

Sharmi,I didnt mean that Dev overtly resembles Armaan(characterwise)..But There are so many traits,which bring in a sense of deja vu....

As hansa di so succinctly stated in another post,Dev comes across as the Armaan of the shuili days..Armaan was a loser then,he was a beaten man,who just couldnt come to terms with his wife earning....A person who is cynical...But Armaan was soft,he wasnt really a "beast"...Dev being more rude,more obnoxious...In this case,the cynicalness and sardonicism arent being portrayed by employing a gamut of emotions....In the case of Armaan,it was enough if Apu looked quasi arrogant,but as Dev,he's expected to be downright obnoxious,which he doesnt

The main drawback is that ( lets forget about looks,dressing blah blah for sometime) Apu just doesnt ooze menace or condescension😕....The dialogues are sassy,no doubt,but when mouthed by Apu,they seem as though those dialogues/monologues are penned for a seduction scene😕..Dev's looks,which are aimed at bringing out Dev's impertinence and effrontery do not achieve the purpose😕..Dev's advances towards Kaajjal seem as though He's trying to seduce her,and not as though he's taunting her😕.....When Dev asks Kaajjal the price of her chastity,It didnt have the expected effect,Looked more as though Dev was trying to flirt with Kaajjal😕

As much as I might be the least Impressed with Iqbal Khan's offscreen behaviour,and his onscreen histrionics,I must admit,He plays the impudent rake with more panache(but that guy cant pull off an emotional scene for nuts)...Even AMit Tandon was more convincing,in the one episode of Kyunki that I watched on Limey's behest...APu's a great actor and was fantastic as Armaan,but only that he isnt being able to do full justice to the role..He doesnt look wicked enough😕

i would jst advice Sony to start jjkn again in place of kajal it will ge thm much more TRP's.

the only attraction is apu but even he cnt make me watch the serial.I wnt to see him in more serials but with the right actress and role and some diff story.

Surveen i dnt like at all.

This was written to absoltue perfection 👏

I have to agree with most every single point you've pointed out here 😊

I watched the first episode was Kaajal only because of pure curiosity to see Apu make his comeback 😉 But the first episode was highly disappointing 👎🏼 It was just too unrealistic 😔 I thought Surveen wasn't all that great either.

As for Apu-i feel he isn't doing the greatest job 😕 He looks quite sloppy in the clothes he is wearing. For one if you are really thin and wear sorta baggy clothes- it comes across as sloppy. 🤢 I also agree with you Buffie about Dev looking like he is seducing Kaajal! It seriously looked like that even within the second episode

Truth is, i quit Kaajal by the third episode I'll just follow the story reading Anu's great updates 😊 As for me i'll just stick with JLH-that is the only serial i look forward to these day! I love it! 😛

Buffie, yepp I agree. I watched the first episode, blabbered on the forum.

I feel bad that AA's talent is not being fully utilized. He has tremendous potential and I wish him well. He really needs to add weight / drop baggy clothes.. -- both is preferable ofcourse!
Kaajjal serial is sooooo retarded PERHAPS just for my age .. that's all i can say.

🤢 🤢

the thread where they call the whole "gannu bhaiyya" thing "CUTE" 🤢 🤢 🤢 really drove me off the forum. I feel bad that AA's talent is not being fully utilized. He has tremendous potential and I wish him well. He really needs to add weight / drop baggy clothes.. -- both is preferable ofcourse!

😆....Agreed QT,certain things are really imbecilic,but even that can be pardoned,cinematic liberties can be stretched upto a certain level,but only upto that limit..Not any further..This happening to be an Apu show,expectations were high...I for one found it implausible,the way Dev impudently inquires the price of Kaajjal's chastity,and then lands at her home and works his charm on the two senior citizens..I mean,which wiseass would do that🤢...and even while being cheeky with Kaajjal,Apu just has limited emotions,the gritting of the teeth,or a smirk(which gives a muliebral touch)...The acting gets monotonous after a while,especially to all the diehard JJKn aficionados,one has the "Been there,seen it,tell a different story" kind of feeling...

Here's a clipping I ripped from someone's siggy,sans permission though😆

Seems more as if he's trying to seduce,and Apu just doesnt look wicked...he looks childish/retarded sometimes😕...Talking about getting repetitious,Like for instance,one of Armaan's idiosyncrasies was to get behind Jassi,and then talk/caress...Everyone would have observed that,and Dev's doing the SAME thing...Like in the scene where he barges into the radio station,and goes onair,he did precisely the same thing,which brings in a sense of deja vu

APu's one of the finest actors of television,but sadly,there's hardly any scope in television,and MOST stars either get typecast,or get monotonous..Hiten I believe was brilliant in Kutumb,but when he started doing the same thing in every soap,it became lacklustre and repetitious....Apu needs to reinvent and variegate himself,if he doesnt wish to join the bandwagon where every TV star gets insipid and undiversified......APu needs to work on his emotions,his mannerisms and quirks..Because,that is precisely what all great stars do..They dont let the audience get an inkling of "them(the star per se)" in the performance..Like one doesnt see Aamir Khan emoting the same way in his movies or using the same mannerisms....and its even more important for television stars,as we see them more often..One sees Aamir only twice a year in 2 movies,whereas we see tv stars 4 days a week,thus they need to all the more be on their toes and constantly reinvent themselves

😲😲😲 I didn't see this episode...this is Dev- who is supposed to be "angry, arrogant, hating" He actually looks like he is romancing with Kaajal 😆

Agree with all points above-nothing else to say 👏

LOL yup MOMO.....He was supposed to be terrorizing,but ended up being plain perverse...I agree some bitter incident of the Past has made Dev bitter,but why is he perverse😕🤢..He infact asked Kaajjal "the price of her izzat"🤢
