I have been an ardent viewer of Miley Jab Hum Tum from day one. I wasn't into Hindi serials but this one caught my attention right after its first week. What pulled me in was the rapport between all of the characters. Nupur and Gunjan's sisterly bond, Samrat and Benji's friendship, Mayank's love for his mother, the friendly competition between CJ/Mayank and even Dia's crush on Samrat to some extent. This serial was not just about romance; it portrayed all kinds of relationships that people experience in college. As for the romances, I found Sajan and Mayur to be as different as chalk and cheese, yet both had the basic essence of teenage love.
I think the serial is no longer the same. Mayur leave a lot to be desired and the pace of Sajan's story is painfully slow. All of the bearable secondary characters have been reduced to mere props. The new entires didn't help; Excel could do without the likes of Ranvijay and Sheena. The characters no longer attend regular classes, do not have to work on assigments and surprisingly didn't have to sit for their exams after the spring semester. Does Excel not have summer breaks? Why did the students and the professors attend college throughout the summer?
I am sorry to say this but MJHT is not the least bit realistic anymore. Let's be practical; would a guy risk drowning in a pool just to please his girlfriend who treated him with disrespect for not liking her childish present? Would a girl (no matter how kind and loving she was) quietly shed a river of tears while someone wrongly accused her of an atrocious thing she didn't do? Wouldn't she be interrupting and screaming at the top of her lungs to defend herself? There are hundreds of similar incidents to point out but I do not want to go into the minute details.
I cannot watch a serial that insults my intelligence. I cannot watch a serial that passes of childish behaviour as romance. I cannot watch a serial where the quiet, studious characters are presumed to be meek. I cannot watch a serial that has become so distasteful even before it completes one season. I am sorry but the writers have lost a faithful viewer.
Please feel free to disagree with me.
