MJHT is no longer endearing

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.

@topicstarter

I agree with what you said but lemme tell you something,
when I enterd the forum and asked some basic questions.. people told me to chill pill and not seek justifications or that i was asking wrong questions... am not telling you the same thing its just most of us have become too habituated with the monotony of this serial....the good old days are lost and doesn't seem like they will come back....

as for realism??? mjht has no reflection of reality at all......

neway welcome to the forum...

Loll....I didn;t used to like this soap much when it began as I found it unrealistic even in the beginning.

But now I have accepted that it is just a teeny bopper fluff melodrama and so I don;t expect much from it apart from a few good scenes here and there.

Still I find it better than most other soaps on TV.

Just get used to all the sugary-saccharine sweetness of it after a while!

My feelings exactly! Especially the line in bold....and to add to it....I cannot watch a show where there is no room for DIGNITY for some characters just cuz they are supposed to be more bubbly...I cannot watch a show where the basic self-respect of a guy who was so confident and self-assured to begin with is so mercilessly butchered by showing ghatiya nonsense like cardboard cutouts and tacky lockets.

I CANNOT watch a show which is an INSULT to the intelligence of viewers on SO many levels that I can't even BEGIN to describe it.

MJHT has dug it's own grave...now it must lie in it. Congrats, creatives👍🏼

Excellent post Courtney. 👏 Even though there's always a "don't watch what you don't like", "watch it leaving your brains at home", "you are hurting the sentiments of those of like it", "its not fact its fiction", factor, I agree whole-heartedly with you! It is not just an insult, it is a blasphemy!

Anuji - bold - agree ... I cannot watch a show where "old-fashioned" concepts like DIGNITY, INTEGRITY, SELF-RESPECT are murdered on a daily basis in favor of newer concepts like SUBMISSIVENESS, SPINELESSNESS and INSOLENCE.

LadyM, 'integrity, self-respect, strength of character, dignity'...all of these are as good as swear words as far as the makers of MJHT are concerned....particularly in the case of MN....

And overall, this show has some of THE most third class production values I've ever seen.....the wardrobe of the cast members for many so called 'special' occasions are a major example of this.

When the MN story has come down to Mayank proudly proclaiming that 'in love, you don't see water levels'....then what else is possibly left to say?😕Oh well, should I really be surprised after a 'barf ka tukdaa' level of 'amazing' dialogues?😆

Nice topic! 😊

Earlier, I wasn't really interested in MJHT . . . but then slowly my interest got developed! U're right, the show was way more realistic earlier! 😔

I do agree with the fact that Nupur's childish behavior was not at all a good act plus the way she disrespected Mayank was painful ! But I guess, if a guy truly loves a gal . . . no matter what he has to do for her happiness, he'd do it. 😊😉

SaJan have been boring since day 1 . . . NO OFFENSE INTENTED! 😊 They are a very cute couple yet, I dun like watching there scenes as such! I agree, Gunjan's character is highly unrealistic! How can somebody keep quiet even after her love's girlfriend accused her of pushing her in the poll! INSANE! 😡

SaJan potray cute lobve where as MayUr potray passionate love, the show still has some comedy elements like funny MayUr scenes, Uday and Benjy . . . and of course Sheeeena's face! 😆 And because all the above mentioned thingies . . . I still watch MJHT! 😊
