MB was very good in today's epi...in full form as the quintessential senior doctor...shades of Shashank...I especially liked how the beginning scene was handled from his end...nothing OTT...trying to handle the situation rationally/calmly as much as he could given that he was in a rush and Nidhi was busy creating a tamasha.

Nidhi's reactions were a bit OTT...especially the hot buns/extra cheese/burger bit that she was blabbing about that I didn't really find funny exactly.

Anji's dad continues to be a carbon copy of the original...

And Ranganath enters today...Has Vishal gained weight?? His face looks kinda heavier than I remember...given the brief of the character based on the original series, I guess he was more or less what I expected...but he could work on making the character a bit more natural with that self-effacing charm...In some bits I couldn't tell if he was joking as he does about everything or if there was some kind of underlying pain/loneliness in the character that he hides.

Mallika was the surprise package...given what I've seen of Sheena in the original, I think Ruksar was fantastic...I liked her much more than the original Sheena from DK...she lent more softness to her character...didn't look as harsh...I especially liked the bit near the air drying machine when Ashutosh withdraws his hands when she brings hers forward.

The rest of Nidhi's antics in the epi were quite OTT...first with the way she was trying to "hide" in the briefing and then later on showing up at Ashutosh's office with the mask still on😕😆...I liked MB in that scene again as well where he calmly told her how ridiculous she was looking and even the "You" reaction he had when she finally took off the mask was well done.

Precap was good...Ashutosh asking her what the hell is wrong with her😆...I'm looking forward to seeing how their interactions progress.

They do need to watch out for overusing the 'saiyaan' line every two seconds...don't make an overkill out of it. The bg music issues weren't too bad today.



Agreed with every word but I like Shella also in DK, that actress was really good.

As for Nidhi, um Joya was so adorable , funny and sometimes strong but she is not cheesy where for Nidhi , the cheesy dialogue and reactions are...OTT.I never saw the actress in any other play but writers and she needs to work a lot to make Nidhi adorable like Joya.

I love Dr. Ahmer in DK and I'm pretty sure if things will go this way I will love Dr. Ashutosh also as MB is doing great job there, still writers need to concentrate on Dr. Ashutosh's inner turmoil also like we have seen it in DK.

My fav character in DK was Dr. Irfan, hopefully Vishal will make his character awesome in this show.

Exactly Nur, Dr. R is supposed to be a perfect portrayal of kyun itna muskura rahe ho kya ghum chupa rahe ho ... He's the kind of character who's supposed to appear light hearted, even flimsy on the surface, but that's only a facade he upkeeps to hide his own insecurities or whatever else demons.

When I said playboy - I was implying the way he came off, instead of the way he ought to have. Again, more blame to the dialogue than much else. But really Ruksaar pulled off hers just fine. Like you said, she actually gave you all that sense - of potential grey, and potential grey with a sound foundation - of a potential victim of unrequited love, and not necessarily someone who is 'black and bad'.

And yes, I should cut Nidhi some slack. But can they please show us some new scenes. The not obvious to guess next one kind? With good dialogue too, please! 😆 Just asking...!

Finally I DID see a glimpse of that "thehraav" that we were talking about yesterday in Ashutosh's character. He acted like a rational man possibly would, without trying to attract too much attention.

Nidhi's reactions were a bit OTT...especially the hot buns/extra cheese/burger bit that she was blabbing about that I didn't really find funny exactly.

Ditto. My expressions mirrored Ashutosh's 😕

Anji's dad continues to be a carbon copy of the original...

Exactly Anu! Vishal is a very smooth actor. I've seen him from his Ishq-Vishq days. Wish he could exercise a bit more of his natural charm.

Mallika was the surprise package...given what I've seen of Sheena in the original, I think Ruksar was fantastic...I liked her much more than the original Sheena from DK...she lent more softness to her character...didn't look as harsh...I especially liked the bit near the air drying machine when Ashutosh withdraws his hands when she brings hers forward.

Dr. Sheena in the original was oh-so-fake. Like someone in our CC said, she was looking at the ceiling for better part of the serial. Ruksar is much better in comparison. Like you said, she brings the softness that this character never had. Hopefully, they don't turn her into a scheming vamp later on. One thing that struck me as odd - Dr. Mallika actually made a pass on Dr. Ashutosh. I know it is the first time we are seeing her character. But logically, Ashutosh and Mallika have known each other for 12 years. Did she need to spell out her preference for him like so in her introductary episode? Maybe it was just me ... but the line seemed a little forced. I wish the makers had eased into it gradually. It is almost like they are in a hurry to establish boundaries to every character.

The rest of Nidhi's antics in the epi were quite OTT...first with the way she was trying to "hide" in the briefing and then later on showing up at Ashutosh's office with the mask still on😕😆...I liked MB in that scene again as well where he calmly told her how ridiculous she was looking and even the "You" reaction he had when she finally took off the mask was well done.

bold - Amen!

Precap was good...Ashutosh asking her what the hell is wrong with her😆...I'm looking forward to seeing how their interactions progress.

They do need to watch out for overusing the 'saiyaan' line every two seconds...don't make an overkill out of it. The bg music issues weren't too bad today.

Ohh Emm Gee Anu! WORD! I was irritated, everytime they played "saiyyan" today when Nidhi walked into Ashutosh's room. Hope they don't make a habit of it.

Hey Nur, JZee... so, is this going to be ur new adda, along with the Gulaal one??

Well, 2 episodes on and I am still not turned off yet.. MB was the main draw for me for the show, yet overall so far, I am liking all the characters.. guess, will need time to even understand each character.. Oh, and I have not watched the original -DK, and guess may just skip it now... would like to enjoy the twists n turns and see how it goes on the show...

Despite loving MB as an actor, I think I have had enough of him playing a senior, mature, with a soft corner -doctor.. he is brilliant, and probably the best fit for this role... and this is definitely the wrong time to even think of variety... but, I would loveee to see this guy in a different role... he has become Dr. Shashank for me like in perpetuity...

Kritika being the bubbly, young, pretty girl, suits the role to a T... I would love to see how her role progresses and grows in her character...

Nice post Nur..

I haven't seen Dhoop Kinare, so my knowledge is limited to the articles, don't know if that is a good thing or bad, since everyone is comparing the shows. But as a stand alone show, watching this episode was better than yesterday's premiere.

Agree with you about Nidhi's bun/burger lines...not funny... and even when she calls up Anjie the dialogue should have been cut short..would have had better impact IMO. I liked her dialogue in yesterday's epi better about why doctors aren't attracted to each other..lol..

In the operation theatre scene..she could have done more than just stand and blink...I know she was distracted with thoughts of the accident..still...

@Ranganath...ditto..

The best scene of the day is definitely Ashutosh and Mallika..nice interaction there...quite frank words exchanged..but she seems the resilient kinds...12yrs is a really long time!..

Also liked the accident scene from Ashutosh's part..a decent quick exit..

Overall, I think I agree with JZ...there isn't a unique touch to these scenes...they seem a little dull..

The precap seems good...liked the expressions from Ashutosh..like is she for real?..😆..should be a nice scene hopefully..

Keva, Tanu - Oh I hadn't seen this before, and surprisingly I could watch it on FB without a login - but overall I think that was neat. In fact, to me, the song portrayed Nidhi and Ashutosh far better than the the two episodes so far - okay, I mean Nidhi only. MB was fine.

So the Nidhi in this vid is the one I was talking about when I said, yes, show her to be her age - but don't go overboard! I suppose taking dialogue away from Kritika does the the trick 😆 On a serious note, I like Kritika and her animated expressions when they can be more subtle like this video - her dialogues overdo it, maybe she delivers them with a little too much enthusiasm, or maybe they're just written so average.

MB - show stealer and USP, again and again! ☺️ He has this classic hint of a smile expression which is all about the character Dr. Ashutosh. The smile of a secret fond joke! 😆

And the song is amazing of course. Although repeating what others have been saying - they need to figure when its needed, and when its merely overused! Its just odd to have Saiyaan playing in the BG between these two utter strangers at this point - there would be so much more feel to it, when there's actually a sequence showing some movement in their bond - even if only so subtle - not just yet. And returning to Gulaal (I swear I'm fighting not to!) I remember how long they waited before even giving us a hint of Piyu Maari for GK... aptly so! You have a soulful score like this one, you use it wisely, judiciously - so that everytime you do, the audience actually feel the lyrics seep into the scene. Not play it on repeat to fill every space that has no dialogue - sigh.

Okay - I'm digressing. I like that vid. Its definitely cute - and I'm all for cute, till it makes sense! 😆
