@ Opti: well said and agree with it all. But i do feel a change in Pani from S1 and S2. There is an awkwardness.. Which was there before too, but not as obvious as now. I feel they are just mouthing of words coz they have to Or hug or touch etc coz it's written. I don't see them connecting to Manan. Earlier it felt they (along with others) worked hard to make the show success.. Now it's in 'cruise control' mode. No effort being made by them or the CVs/PH.

@geno0309: :)) thank you dear! I was holding it back for sometime now coz I knew I would be amongst the minority. But today after seeing the travesty of Manan.. And the fandom still gushing over the two lines, song and placid kisses, I just had to get it all out. Good to see there are quite a few of us without the rose colored glasses.
Agree with everything that u said. I was hoping against hope that once they settle in with Parths comeback and the changes they had to make, the show will take off. Slowly but steadily. But sadly, none of that has happened so far. The reactions of one's love coming back from the dead was soo muted.. And it sort of set the tone for the following episodes. Sometimes I feel like shaking Manan to get the basic human reaction of seeing the love of your life after 4 months. Can you believe it, there hasn't been one passionate hug let alone a smooch from them?!
Which world are the writers from?? These are young adults in throes of a passionate love affair! Plz show them as such and not like some over the hill couple!!

@bold: let's not even go there plz!! If I start listing what all has been wrong/off between MaNan since Manik came back, I will have to go to work tomorrow with no sleep-lol

Either PaNi are sleep walking, disinterested or enacting out of half baked scripts. And that attitude clearly shows-I donno what show majority of the fandom is watching, but this is what I see.

I remember gushing and not able to get enough of the MaNan hugs-they hugged like their life depended on it. I remember the Manik who couldn't keep away from Nandini, even for a minute. I remember a Nandini cherished and found solace in Manik's embrace (even after being kidnapped and molested by pandit).
Like who are these two ppl on our screens past few weeks??-who dont ignite the love or passion in each other. I don't know how to define MaNan without love and passion. And I fear that's the problem the creatives and actors are having without a strong script and proper guidance.

Kudos to all of you to have come out and said what has been going on in my mind ever since the most "anticipated come back in the history of Indian television" happened.
No, dont get me wrong. I fell in love with KYY just like most here.. the story.. the vision and of course MANAN. I was as devastated at the way S1 ended.. even i felt cheated that a beautiful love story ended in such a tragic way...wanted a happy ending.. and a beautiful MANAN... dil maange more.

But right now, the storyline seems to be all chaotic. And today's epi just hit the roof in its lack of feel, lack of logic, lack of direction.. it was like a runaway train.. going this way and that.. totally off track!!

Like the TM said, if Manik read the blog (which by the way, I am guessing is what she was shown writing on the computer, in the initial episodes of s1) then why didn't he make an effort to contact her?

And if he was reading her blog, he would have known that she had written down all her emotions and feels on missing Manik .. (I remember a couple of episodes during the elections and one other time, where it was shown that Nandini is jotting down her thoughts and her feels down .. and it was clear that she was missing him).
So where did his initial feel of neglect that he felt come from?

Again like TM said, why does Charlie feel that Manik and nandini shouldn't spend time together?

The song didn't make sense.. the singing was totally off key, nandini's wish list of getting arrested with manik.. that was so uncharacteristic

Manik and Nandini's body language didn't say MANAN today, especially Nandini.. she was so stiff and her smile so plastered on that it just didn't connect.. at all.

If this is the vision of MANAN in s2... I guess, like you all, I would rather find solace in s1.. 'cos we had actors who believed in the story and made us believe in their story..and a cohesive unit which worked in making the story believable.. s2 seems like they are just acting .. not with passion.. but like a chore..without their heart in it, and it shows.

This was not what I hoped for as the promised HEA of MANAN..

have parth and niti have some agreement regarding not having intimate scenes ? i mean i am dying for a manan hug !
the kisses yesterday were so forced! and there was 0 chemistry ! as if they are some other characters and not manan !

you know what ? i remember the stroy of deathly hallows from harry potter ! you know ? the story of 2nd brother ?

the dead girlfriend of the second brother come back to this world as the second brother so desperately wanted her to come back to him, he used the resurrection stone to bring her back. but she now didn't belong to this world so she was not happy at all. she was so sad . they couldn't bring their magic back and finally the brother committed suicide !

we wanted manan back so we used social media to bring parth back. but he is not happy may be. they are not comfortable together. so eventually we will stop watching and the show will end !

@geno0309 you know what's hilarious? Ppl saying that there is lesser intensity or passion because manan are in a different stage of their relationship. Whoa...are u forgetting the 4mnths where the relationship was non existent for all practical purposes?? And what do you mean by 'stage of relationship' for God's sake...they are teens,they were together for maybe a year, made love ONCE. Does that automatically mean they now need to behave like they've been together forever and are bored??

And honestly, if my bf came back from the dead after 4mnths, I would need reassurance of touch, of looks...irrespective of whether we had been together for 2 yrs or 20.

There was fear that they won't be able to recreate the magic without Richa but I had hope, hope that if not good content, we'll get some good chemistry. But I have finally accepted that bitter truth that without the people who created this show, it will never be the same. We might get some good scenes here and there, but it will never be the same. Aside from writing and chemistry, the direction is absolute shit. I am very sure the drunk scene will not match up, or even be close to the previous drunk scenes. This is painful... but maybe not as painful as knowing that manan ended tragically, so I'll have to make my peace with it

You just penned down everything that was on my mind. Honestly, the show has gone to the dogs. One thing that I always appreciated KY2 was for that no matter how stupid the story tracks were but the execution and the growth of characters was always good. I never had a problem with any(Read: Permanent) characters of the show in terms of their growth. Be it Manik, Nandini, Alya, Mukti, Navya and I guess even Dhruv but these days I am witnessing a totally different avatar of all of these people.
For starters, Nandini and Manik's reunion lacked the emotional touch, Nandini seems to have no curiosity why her guy left, why he never tried reaching her or what happened to him. Like seriously, What is wrong with these people? They just dismissed the best thing about MaNan. Unlike every other TV couple, MaNan talked and heck they nailed it always. It's so dissappointing to see them lacking in sth that they were so good at. Everything about the reunion scene was so wrong and so out of character.

Ahh, Did anybody see Alya and Manik's reunion scene? Can I just slap the CVs for that? Ughh! Dude, It had much better dialogues and more emotions from both sides. Rest of the Fab4 were again bland and the whole I'm-Angry drama was stupid and not so needed.

Let's take a general case, Distance makes the heart grow fonder and lovers can't take their hands off each other after that. Good! But That is supposed to be by passion and emotions not some random romance of feather kisses. If PaNi are uncomfortable, Koi Baat Nahi, show us passionate hugs, cheat kisses or just take the camera away at the last moment to leave everything to our imagination but Don't show us these out of character facade.

Nandini and Manik are such butchered characters right now :( I don't think I can handle that much cheese even in my sandwich lol. Manik is not happy go lucky guy. He never was and He can never be one either. Similarly, Nandini was never exceptionally unreasonable or as we say crazy. Manik worked on impluse whilst Nandini was the Balancing factor out of two. Just the way ideal relationships works. Nandini needed Manik and Manik needed Nandini and they were vocal about it but duh! That seems to be forgotten now.

P.S- Am I the only one who is always confused whether Dhruv drinks or not? Even in S1 that inconsistency bothered me.

@arshi_manan: I sometimes wonder the same thing. Do they have an unsaid agreement to not enact romantic scenes with any emotions? The hugs are so ... Blah!( for lack of a better term). I was trying to give them the benefit of doubt that probably with all the offscreen drama that's occurred, they might need some time to get back to their comfort zone. But lo and behold, here we are in week 2 after Maniks return and still no improvement.

@geno0309: I hear you!! Listing out all that's lacking will take forever and I don't want to head to work sleepwalking either.
There are so many moments in S1 that was magical..heartwarming and endeared Manan to us. Since I started watching the show only in the last week of August ( from start), I wasn't ready for it to end at that time. After promising myself not to get hooked to another series.. I was hooked. But S2 is successfully killing that Buzz for me!

Really people what do want they? When manik was angry then they said this is pointless.but when they patch up they said this not good.and yeah some people are really unhappy that part came back.Tom herself has took part in that parth stopped when blue ha pani pani song in his event then she comment.part can't act.adulation and success gone to his head u said other day and rest of the cast act really well but part can't act.every fault is part when manik side hug nundu after that game she was uncomfortable that is also fault of parth.some people always finds fault in parth u were really happy with the initial epi of s2 be oz part was not there and parth cant act and other cast really acted.when parth really do something good then any praising post don't come from them for part but so much insults to him.but they can make praising post for parth.actually really some people have problem with part so they insults him.if show goes off air then they will this going off air so soon for part personal reason.bcoz other casts are really talented loyal and emotionally invested like parth.then why people crazy abt him really can't understand.

well said and i agree to each word of urs...
this is what i feared about MaNan and now i see it happening...without the original creator, PaNi or MaNan is lacking in almost all departments..writing at it worse...no spark in acting ...everthing is gone...i hope some of the fans atleast have realised what many of us used to say that it is never going to be same ..its just not dependent on PaNi alone.the moment RY was gone for watever reasons the show got lost... MaNAn got lost...the way their consummation scene was done was so pathetic..damaged started right from the end of S1.


I cant describe how much I cringe when Manik or Nandini use the term "MaNAn"...why they make characters use this term ?? CV's spend more time on SNS i believe rather than concentrating on show...even an amateur person would have written a heartfelt emotional scene...but here we got nothing ..and to top it all we have this disinterested actors...kaise kaam chalega ??
