Though it is still very early to comment on Angad's acting skills, I can safely say that Neha is bang on target as Kripa! Her entire persona, the way she carries herself, her expressions, her dialouge delivery and the way she emotes is just Kripa.
Many people might think that she is too soft spoken, or that she is wooden at times, but if you look at her as the character Kripa Sharma and not as the actress Neha, you will realize that she indeed does a fabulous job of it, atleast till now.
Her expressions in the scene where Angad touches her hand, in his first concert were very good, and the scene where her eyes well up with tears after she listens to all the crap that Angad is giving in his press was also excellent. She is too soft spoken, yes, but then it gels well with her character. '
Angad.....well, firstly he looks perfect for the part, which is so important. Just imagine a 5 ft 2 inches, cleav shaven, soft-looking guy playing Angad's role??? That way, he has it good, just looking at him, you can feel that he is Angad. And in the very few scene that he has been shown till now, he is pretty impressive, not just for his incredible screen presence, but also for that amazing voice he has. And he is very natural in his acting. I still think that the drunken, outhouse scene was the best, and will remain so in the coming episodes too. His dialouge delivery is very nice, and he has just the right, bored to death, been there, done that expressions! A lot of people might construe this for lack of good acting skills, but I think understatement is in itself one of the hallmarks of good acting! (Check-out DK in Tumhari Disha, he is also one of the rare method actors, who does not resort to gimmicks)
Prithvi has a good screen presence, and there is no basis of comparing him with Angad, because the two characters are on two different platforms and if Iqbal excels as Angad, I think Amit looks like the perfect Prithvi.
The rest of the characters are pretty good, I think Naina acts quite well, looks & acts like the perfect bitchy woman that she is!
Still early to post more comments, would love to hear your suggesstions and comments!
Cheers,
Chilly!
