LadyM, YaRa4ever, Kavya: Fantastic posts! Very well said!
@topic: I've only recently had the opportunity to watch Remix re-runs from the beginning and honestly that show is a class apart as compared to MJHT.....let's not even begin to put MJHT in the same league....Remix was a show that literally launched Star One and gave it a big boost as a youth based shows channel.....it was pathbreaking that way....for all the reasons LadyM listed out so well....that it dealt with real issues like drug abuse, peer pressure, parental pressures so well....and ALL characters had something to do in the show....they had a POINT to them.
MJHT and DMG are the 'new age' version of Star One 'youth shows'.....the fluff, inane variety which only focus on showing romance b/w the couples and everything else including development of a storyline/secondary characters is secondary for the most part.....infact it hardly figures in the scheme of things.....Jab tak "passionate romance" hai, tab tak saari logic/sense gayi tel lene.....these shows revel in descending into mindless buffoonery from time to time...well this is what the audience of today seems to want I guess given the popularity of these shows.
These days the mantra seems to be just on focussing on creating a 'hit jodi', nothing else....and that's easy enough....show the characters clashing for a bit, then they fall in love later on and start romancing and tadaa....audience khush.
I won't deny that I'm also a fan of Mayank-Nupur from this show.....my only main reason for watching it....but that has other factors attached to it in how I identify with the characters especially Mayank.....the same way Mads identifies with Gunjan and that pulls her in.....but the fact remains that if we look at an overall perspective, there is hardly anything of substance in this show that can be applauded....in my opinion atleast......it's inane/slapstick fluff for the most part with occasionally good scenes......which have dwindled in frequency much more as the show has progressed.
Remix on the other hand, from what I've seen of it so far.....is much more realistic in depicting today's youth....and this isn't just a 'oh that's a high school based show and MJHT is a college based one' thing.....No, Remix depicted high school life MUCH better than MJHT has EVER managed to depict college life.....anyone remember the last time these ppl even managed to attend classes?? LOLL
Just my two cents. No offence intended to anyone. If anyone still wants to be offended, their choice.
