Completely agree with you Zahara the show had so much potential, they had some great tracks but sadly they either never explored or ended them properly. The only ones that good treatment was Cabir's sexuality and Navya's pregnancy. MaNan love story for the majority of the times was great but at times they even dragged their stuff unnecessarily.
Cabir's sexuality and his closure with Raghav was justified. Navya's pregnancy... was it really explored properly? I know her after giving birth to her kid was totally not shown properly... it was just touched upon but not in depth especially when they hardly shown her kid with Harshad!
I understand shows need to add new characters to make it interesting and not just focus on the main cast's story but seriously they missed a lot of potential. Soha's track was actually not that bad, some parts were dragged but still overall it was executed well and we got MaNan coming closer together which helped the story, so that was fine - whatever happened after wasn't great but such stories always need hate tracks, just wished they handled it properly. They probably thought let's not drag the hatred for months like other shows but thoda bohat toh karte, because they dragged that track so much - the hatred ended so quickly. The whole vinegar stuff was extreme but still fun to watch and it gave the most adorable icecream scene they should have done more of that. Also the Pandit track could have been so much better. Either they should have kept it as either a strict teacher track or a teacher trying to groom or sexually abuse his student - they didn't need to go into gory details but they could have done so much more. It just made no sense because he was genuinely concerned about her career and he wasn't wrong either, she really should have focussed on her music but somewhere they mixed up the a teacher role and sexual predator role.
I didn't really mind Soha's plot nor the pandit's... its just the execution and drag that I hated. MaNan were closer and such scenarios do happen... but again, it seems like for the sake of drama they prolonged it to the extent that the effect wasn't there. Reminds me of the random campaign for Mukti... I get wht they were trying to do but the whole thing seemed so fake and forced. There were good scenes and heart tugging scenes but because it was Mukti and her blah blah ness, I turned off LOL.
ManBir was so so good, I loved them together, and Cabir making fun of MaNan was fantastic, I genuinely enjoyed those parts. The starting of the whole joke between Cabir and MaNan was when the first accidental kiss happened, and Cabir just bent down and looked at them. Ayaz was just awesome there, such a simple thing but it looked so funny. Also when he catches them twice coming out of the bathroom all wet, if only he caught them the first time it happened 😆 - when Manik covered Nandini lol. That would have been epic. And his lines are just too good, Nandini kya hoa ladki bheega bhage see, tip tip barse Pani, PaNi ne lagaye aag. The way Ayaz laughed and dropped the drinks when Nandini and Manik come out wet from his bathroom.
MaNanBir were a riot! I loved them so much! They were so geniune as well!! I loved how Ayaz/Cabir had that tongue in cheek dialogues of PaNi lols. Loved ManBir wayyy more than ManRuv.
CaVya were great too, they would have looked good together if there was a romantic angle for them but I actually I'm glad that they didn't go the cliched way, not every friendship was linked because of love, theirs was purely platonic and the way it grew was adorable to watch. The teasing and all was all so good.
Nahhh... I didn't want the romatic angle... just loved the two outsiders (single mother/gay guy) just being together as friends. They grew together, and helped each other and that was really great... but ofc then he died 🥱
Oh I loved that bathroom scene as well where Manik is talking to Alya, OMG I didn't expect that at all - this was the USP of the show they had so many scenes people didn't expect and that was what was so great about the show. Seriously Nandini in that scenes was hilarious the expressions she gave, loved Niti she did a fabulous job, I actually felt embarrassed with her. Parth was brilliant as well, the way he was saying it and his expressions.
Agree, Alya had such potential but still she was still better handled than Dhruv and Mukti. I never felt anything for Mukti no matter how much they tried. Only time I liked her was with Navya, the only time I felt it was genuine. Alya I still liked there was growth there. Dhruv, he was just irrelevant to me lol, he was okay in the beginning but his character was just royally screwed up. But I did like when he said Nandini used them and Manik punched him, probably why I liked that outburst of his lol.
yeah only time I liked Mukti was with Navya but even then she was annoying. They tried to make Mukti into this rock chick with the not caring attitude but she seemed like such a tryhard. I liked Alya... I understood her and sympathised with whatever she did. She loved Manik and was with him for years, of course she'd feel upset and angry and put her anger out on Nandini. I just wished she was developed more... just like how ManBir became the breakout bromance... more than ManRuv... I wished Alya/Nandini could have a good friendship just like how it was between Navya/Mukti...
One of the best parts of the show was when Nandini says it wasn't Punch to the kiss but the punch to the punch. First time I saw something like that on Indian TV, it was so awesome especially the way she manipulated Manik by getting all romantic and then asking if Dhruv didn't have feelings for me would you have left me. The writing was awesome, so was the execution and of course PaNi as always brilliant. The writers did a great job highlighting the part where Nandini goes, where was my choice? LOL the punch scenes always had me in fits because despite them being used in serious situations, the fact that she punched him and didn't do the typical slap made it just so epic LOL.
That punch was what started the show for me. 😆😆😛
