Wonderful post, Mridz 😃...and wow, its been quite a journey, eh...but the good old days are always worth cherishing...
As a fan, for me the best phase of this whole journey had to be the initial days where A and N were on the brink of getting introduced to each other...A's hero act on day one, N trying to say thanks to A the very next day, Sonia getting all cozy with A, the pajama party in Appy's house, the Ice-cream night out, The rain sequence...and A was this no-nonsense guy back then - silent and intense ...and can we forget Poodlebir, who gave that illuminating lecture on falling in love ??? ...Ah, such memorable episodes with all that youthful freshness...
After that, A's character kinda lost its serious outlook and moved into a more candy-boy territory, whereas N's character exhibited more consistency...there was no run-up to the love story which was like two-minute noodles...though the picnic had some cute moments, the yellow t-shirt was a major distraction...and before we could even take a stand on their relationship, they split up...the separation track, however, once again saw the sober A surfacing and the pain of being apart from one another was well portrayed by A and N...and with that track, my regularity in watching this show suffered, big time...Courtesy, full blown family drama..
N's family has been the major source of realism...anything related to them is the only aspect of this show I can identify with...Last but not the least, we've had a talented set of actors, who have made even the most boring of tracks, pretty tolerable...
And I shall not continue beyond this...the complaints might outnumber the compliments...
