That ship sank before it even left the harbour. Because together MANIK and NANDINI were like Nuclear Warhead and B52-Stratofortress. NOBODY , I repeat NOBODY stood a chance uske aagey. Ab yeh Vikas ki galti hai that he casted two actors who have SUCH strong screen presence everyone else kinda fades into the background, and creatives ki marzi hai ke they gave all their attention to the characters they were to portray.
Manik before Nandini and Nandini before Manik were VERY one dimentional characters. It is with Manik that Nandini showed her fiesty , fiercely protective side and it is because of NANDINI that Manik was able to show his vulnerable , HUMAN side. No offence but his friends were obtuse morons and with them he was TopGun Moron. It was ONLY after his interactions with Nandini that we were able to come to love him as BABA.
I missed this. 😆
See that is why I said 'supposed to be'. Kyunki acting ki baat karein toh Uttu, like you said, doesn't cut close to anything. My 'assumption' about Dhruv was mostly based on the good dialogues they used to give him, or the way he could divert Manik from his temper tantrums. Point is, he had a mind of his own even if Manik treated him like a teddy bear which needed constant cuddling.
Same can be said for most of the cast apart from PaNi. CC has about two and a half expressions in her repertoire, so I still don't know who or what her true lou is. Abhishek looks forever confused and that worked as long as Harshad had some mystery, and Ayaz is plain lazy most of the time. So even if they get tracks, they don't work for the audience. so like you yourself said- story becomes all MaNan, saare layers bhi MaNan.
