I want to know what the main problem is:
cause you comparing DK with KTLK... that is fine...but for me the time is different...DK was set 30 years ago...while KTLK is set now...its modern...it should be otherwise viewers will walk out...
coming towards feelings:
girls these days are more aware off their surroundings and feelings... do we fall in love easily...some do some not...but falling in love and accepting feelings need time...this is were the show is (nidi's character)...
ooohhh I forgot...Nidi is shown bubbly and enjoying life..nothing wrong...why should she be serious..she has been clear that she is pushed in to an direction ...she wasn't sure off... now she took the step to go a head...give her time to adjust and take her responsibilities serious...
coming to Doc A:
yes he is a bit reserved but also shown very approachable.. him just opening up toward nidi got many shock...this wasn't expected...but we forgot that sometimes it is easier to open up towards a stranger then someone close to you...does this mean he is in love...No but there is some attraction going on...although he isn't aware off it or trying to ignore...
the story:
is this realy DK or KTLK...
the title itself explains it: it's about how ppl will react ifa middle age man falls for a young woman and vice versa.. so yes the story is based on DK but it doesn't caries the same message...
so is it wisely to compare DK and KTLK...
hope I didnt offended you...

You didn't offend me at all,Shali. 😊

See,I don't think I can agree if we say that both shows don't carry the same message.It's basically the same story,same characters,same emotions.I am fine with Dr.Ashutosh to some extent,though not at the same level as Ahmer.Nidhi,I cant seem to like her,somehow.Zoya was bubbly,"responsible" and full of life.Nidhi is anything but responsible.It is definitely possible to be full of life,bubbly,and yet remain responsible.Like Shreya said,she has no ambition in life.Not just that,she does not even know or think about the hard work she is going to have to do once she joins the hospital.The only thing she thinks is the boss and the opportunity she will get to be around him.It somehow irks me to see her like that.

Anyways,I will continue watching,because I cannot miss MB on screen. 😛

I guess this topic has been traversed a couple of times...

Even I feel the pace at which Nidhi is falling in love or is being beleievd to be falling in love with Ashutosh is too soon..

DK is a classic and its having its aura done at a time and now to have something on teh same basis is good and will have its own dimension and ist an adaptation so it will be on the similar lines of age ga between two individuals who fall in love the concept being the same but they will have some new elements and some needed changes

The time line of this show runs for 250 + episodes compare to 13 + episodes the prior DK ran so I hope teh pace is maintained and we get a beautiful passionate love story between Ashutosh and Nidhi brewing up

thanks sweets...
as I wrote above... nidhi needs time.. yes she came back for him but I do belief that she is also trying to find her way... the moment she finds it...her responsibility will grow... and Malika is the right person to make her realize that... leaving aside her alter motive...
coming to ambition...the moment you find a direction in which you belief and know that you belong..you responsibility will grow towards it...and when you reached that goal, your ambition to grow in it will develop... as said before...give her time...
till then ...just enjoy MB...like me do...

Finally,I love watching MB's shows.I loved Sanjeevani.He is a great actor.No doubt about it.
My post was not to burst the bubble as some might think,I just wanted to share what I felt,and please blame my friend for hooking me on to DK by mentioning it like 3 years back,and I almost fainted from excitement when I heard that DK is being remade and that MB was the lead!!!! 😊

See you around! 😊


I completely get the catch. I have a friend of mine who is an ardent DK lover too and despite of my repeated attempts, she doesn't budge to watch KTLK! Not even for MB's sake! Atleast you are trying to watch it. And I do get your point.. its like I never got interested to watch JWM remake on telly despite loving the movie so much!! Some things should remain untouched and just cannot be magical like the original. 😃 If MB weren't doing the part, I'd have never bothered watching the remake of a classic.

As to your point on either copying the original wholly or leave it, I think after the first-two weeks, they haven't really copied scenes atleast on Ashni's part. 🤔 You know, even the Baba here is oblivious of the fact that its Dr Ashutosh who wants the house desperately... in the original, Baba had known the secret. 😊 So I guess the emulation part is over. 😕

Love the song Raat yun dil mein tere too!! 😍 😍 Sigh!!!

I think they have shown Dr Nidhi as a total contrast to Zoya and a shallow person to show a vast growth in her later. Although I felt that the reasoning that she gave for not selling the home was very sensible one.

We can only wait and watch.

I guess,I will need to wait and watch how Nidhi's character grows.As of now,i am slightly irritated with all that unnecessary exuberance. 😛

Like you,I have another friend who stopped watching KTLK after the first 2 episodes.I will still keep watching because of MB,love his dialogue delivery and diction.Its just a treat to hear him and watch him.I guess I like him more than I love DK. 😉

I just hope they show more of Ranganath,remember Irfaan was there on almost every episode of DK.So funny too!! Cutely funny.Love the way Ranganath switches from being funny to sensitively serious like in the scene yesterday where he lets Nidhi know that Dr A is doing fine.Like that,one more,where he looks out for Anjie during the wedding dance,and goes to help her when she is cornered by a guy.

DK was a cult show some 25 years ago. lot has changed since...

Plot of the show is beautiful. KTLK is keeping up with it. DK was a short show with 30 episodes, and KTLK is 200+ episodes so change is expected. it is making it own path way, i am glad i do not like to be a copy.

It's dog eat dog world, channels, shows want to be on top. and they want to make commercial viable shows.. so they come up with the gimmicks to lure audience. Sorry to say...indian Mass loves the rona dhona, one super woman(BAHU) show(MISS Kapoor's success mantra). i wish KTLK
was CLASS show not MASS show.

one of the required ingredient of remake is right TALENT. i feel DR. ahmer was a little reserved personality (Good actor) GENERATION Y would not connect with him. MB as DR A is suave, winsome,sexy(in his own way) and TOP NOTCH expressions r worth watching any time.....KK as Nidhi is doing well too. they need to bring a change in that character too. young generation is more confident,vibrant now. The chemistry between the lead actors is amazing...it's a treat to watch them together on screen. DK had more depth but slight low on romance and Passion the very essence of love story.
I agree KTLK is no picture perfect show. Like u said they could use better reason to bring Nidhi back to hospital. and they need to implicate better researched medical knowledge..making lot of blunders.

i watched and enjoyed DK then , m loving KTLK now. NO comparison for me...

sorry if i offended u or any DK fans.

Back in the days of the classics like DK ...Tanhaiyan.. across the border or Udaan ..Farmaan.. Talash.. in India... TRPs din exist..!! There was no compulsion to grab eyeballs.. n get those magical TVRs to stay afloat..!! Today is the time when TRPs rule the roost..!! Out of the Top 10 shows in the list of TRPs... barring Balika Vadhu.. is there any other show which has DEPTH??? Sorry to say imho NO..!! Even BV has lost its essence and charm..!!



Having said that... ...KTLK did hold a lot of promise for me.. being an ADAPTATION of DK... n i too like u.. was starry eyed to see .. how Rajan Shahi n team adapt to DK... but yes.. the DK purist in me is completely disappointed ...!! Nidhi returning to her profession for the sake of Ashutosh trivialises the whole thing n not just the nobleness of the profession..! The love story is moving too fast.. considering the show is targetted for 200-250 epis... n the parallel tracks are not as much properly developed as required!


Coming to the segments u have referred... the wedding track was brought in purely to make the show.. 'VIEWER FRIENDLY' as shared by MB himself..!! The accident track right now is brought in for MB as he is not well.. so lets discount that..!


I believe firmly that RS has taken the central theme of the show DK.. 'age gap romance between doctors' and given it a TODAYS makeover...! Whether it is good or bad.. its for an individual to decide..!! For me... MBs Ashutosh is Sweet.. Approchable yet Reserved... Rahat Kazmis Ahmer was Classy and Serious...!! Krtiz .. Nidhi is bubbly, cute, OTT... more of a child woman... while Marinas ...Zoya is Stylish and charming...!! I wuldn wanna compare them.. n i wuld suggest others not to..!!


I love AshNi... n i love KTLK... n shall continue to..!! As for DK... once a classic... always a classic!

Well said I am completely agree wid ur opinion.👍🏼🤗

Back in the day girls were shown as much older than they really are

Nidhi is 20 something hip happening girl, wheres her heart on her sleeve, krazy bindaas girl...etc..

she is infatuated with Dr A since he is a gentleman..its not hard at that age to have feelings for older men...since none of the guys in their mid 20s will do...her feelings reflect her age

Dr A is 40 something dr, who may or may not have had a relationship with a women before...he is slow, steady, compassionate and caring...which is also reflected in how he expresses his emotions...right now he has a road block up so he cannot let himself fall in love..

Nidhi is essentially a copy of Dr A when he was in his 20s , hence him opening up to her much more easily

I like Nidhis character...she portrays a 20 something girl well..rather than acting like 40.which she is not

show is going great

the only thing I dont like is the change in Dr. Malikas character

I want her to be dignified and proud...not stoop to some annoying nagging jealous character
