Hey all this is my first post in this forum! 😊 Anyway I know you all are wondering what my topic is about. It's a discussion topic, where I want to get to know what you all are thinking! 😊

Well in a day and age where we desire something new and crave for some reality as well, does Mile Jab Hum Tum fulfill it?
every new show, just like every opening essay or speech, usually begins with a BANG!--and eye catcher. Does this show provide that and how? When comparing this to college campuses in reality do we normally see such instances? Why are outsiders (people from a different city or village) treated and portrayed as fools, who provide a comic relief to the show? Does this flirt paired with a studious girl formula always work? How is this show any different from Yeh Meri Life Hai, Kyun Hota Hai Pyar, and Dekho Magar Pyar Se?

I myself have begun watching this show since it began, but fail to have it catch my attention. I have been continuing with this show just because of Gagan! 😉

but I want to know what others really think of the show beside the lovable Mayank😍

waiting for your answers! 😊

well i see ur point and i agree to... i wanted to post something like this be4 but than didn't bother...

i've seen many teen drama's be it english or indian, its all the same.

however i'm giving MJHT a chance... i mean i find nothing new or different in the story...but hey its pretty funny , i mean not that funny , (i'm not gonna compare it another show.).. but i guess its just started n we should all give it a chance well at least i am , who knows it'll get better as it goes.

And to be pretty honest Mayank's the only reason i watch this show for...

well itz not really different, but gud to watch😆

See each and every person needs sumthing or the other for entertainment n since now-a-days mostly saas bahu sagas have taken over the TV industry, so once in a while the youth show which comes do get a better opening, evn if it is not different. The only reason for this is young ones can relate themselves to sum extent with the characters n sumwhere we all can belive that these things do happen during college days unlike other shows where constant unreal things happen n it hard to belive n we can't really enjoy that show........

so for me. It is not different by any angle and we have seen this kind of stories many times, but still it is gud to watch n providing me entertainment amidst sum crappy shows.........

and i will be giving it sum time, since i have faith in nisaar's direction n mayank's acting😍

PS - sorry for going off topic😛

Even though I have been watching this show since it started airing but I don't think so the concept is new or unusual. A lot of shows have already brought this scenario into picture but none of the shows I have watched are entirely based on the issue of small town people coming into the cities. Other than that, the way they have depicted Nupur and Gunjan doesn't make any sense. Well Gunjan's character seems very normal. On the other hand Nupur brings comic relief to the show but at the same time the character does not depict reality. I'm sure people from smaller towns have better things to do when the come to cities other than trying to be cool. This makes me wonder if the makers of the show forgot that we live in the 21st century and in this day and age people do have TVs if not computers at their homes. No one can be so ignorant about what's going on in metros of India especially Mumbai.

Every new show, just like every opening essay or speech, usually begins with a BANG!--and eye catcher. Does this show provide that and how?

The story line didn't really impress me much however the two couples and Arjun Bijlani do make me want to watch every single episode of the show.

When comparing this to college campuses in reality do we normally see such instances?

Definitely, we do see such instances everywhere. Not only in Indian colleges but even in universitiees abroad. You have to wear the right clothes and talk like everyone in order to fit in. If in any way you are different as compared to others you will end up feeling isolated.

Why are outsiders (people from a different city or village) treated and portrayed as fools, who provide a comic relief to the show?

Making people from small towns look like fools with little or no fashion sense makes the plot look more real rather than making someone from a big city look like that. Ohh...if they do that media might end up comparing the show or the character to Jassi.

Does this flirt paired with a studious girl formula always work?

Yes, it does !!!

How is this show any different from Yeh Meri Life Hai, Kyun Hota Hai Pyar, and Dekho Magar Pyar Se?

I haven't watched any of these shows but I can relate the issue of small twon people coming to buugger cities to Vrinda's and Ranvir's character in Remix.

well it is most definitely different from all those saas bahu dramas which is all they show nowadays...except for MJHT and DMG.

So its nice to watch...and about the coming from another city thing...well in singapore we dont really have it coz basically we all come from different nationalities so we would rather befriend one another than to leave them out...and I am sure that in other countries the same happens coz in todays world people are moving to places and not staying in their homeland/cities. We get to see a wide range of people from diff walks of life in school...be it in any country.

But in MJHT they show it coz its more about sibling rivalry btw dia and the morena sisters and not coz they come form another city.

This show is interesting for me for many reasons...

1) It's not a typical saas-bahu show loaded so many inhumane schemes to hurt other human beings.🤢😡

2) For a change, it's a light hearted romantic comedy show...there is more fun and laughter than constant crying scenes and circumstances...

3) The setting of the show is a college campus so most of the young audience can relate to it....

4) I like the chemistry between all of the actors: the main leads SaJan & MayUr have great on-screen chemistry😊...: gunjan & nupur display such a cute and amazing chemistry of sisters....while uday and dia display such a rival and comical chemistry of siblings...hats off to the actors for such talent and hard work👍🏼

5) The show is a lil over-dramatic and filmy😆...so it's fun to watch...besides, i like the songs picturization on all the characters so far...esp..." Khuda Jaane" on SaJan and nupur dancing on " Jee Karda & Bhage Re Mann"

** i definitely enjoy this show...it didn't catch my attention at first but when i read other members reviews on different section of the forum...i decided to check it out...the intro episode was a lil slow but the pace of the story picked up after that and now it's getting to good parts as we see the story develop...i hope the show doesn't drag b/c it becomes a bore that way...

** DMG was similar to MJHT in the begining months b/c it was fresh, youthful and entertaining but after sometime, the show lost its charm and now it has become a big dud...thats y i stopped watching DMG long time ago and i was waiting for something unique and refreshing contrary to saas-bahus show therefore MJHT is a welcoming change and very entertaining !⭐️

frankly this is my first show based on college so every thing will definitely new for me,i also thinks that we should stop thinking logical points of the shows,any shows even DMG will not have logical points and u know if we want to check some reality in shows then just we should start watching reality shows like big boss which always make me think that reality is worst one to happen and in this present situation where love doesnot matter to anyone and easy forgettable break ups possible,i always thinks fictious serials which are happy to watch and hopes us a life like them where we can enjoy our selves,romantic scenes which we wants to happen in our life(being frank i felt so many times),in reality may be such beautiful pairs are not possible so welcoming the adorable couples love stories as ours is what i felt gives difference from saas bahu stuff which we never want that to happen in our life.
note:i really dont want to hurt any one,if i did with out knowing them i am so sorry,it may be bore to u watching the same scenes but try to remove the old scenes and enjoy th new way of acting.
it really a good post.

actually you have a point......it does seem similar.....you know small towners being illtreated.........but i like it.......coz it isnt exactly REGRESSIVE.........means there are pranks and all but they arent so bad than they make you cringe.......and there are less posiblities of it converting into a senceless family drama like yeh meri life hai,kyun hota hai pyaar etc..........its similar,but diffrent as it can bring a smile onto your face when all the other serials are just plain regressive!!!
