Zee Zindagi added the missing zest to the stale lineup of Hindi GECs in India. A very refreshing change.
However, there are only a few shows I absolutely loved.
ZGH- Do I even need to say why?!π
Dhoop-Chaaon- Class apart! π³
Behadd- WOWOW! Can't possibly go to sleep without listening to Nindiya Re. π
Kisi Ki Khatir- LOVING IT! βοΈ
Aaj Rang Hai- One show that shows the prowess of acting. Impeccable script. Probably the only show that dared to give slight insinuation about women desperate to find a male companion, and how sex is more than just a biological need, but an assertion of dominance. ππ
Not-good-not-so-bad
Humsafar- I know many would hate me for this, but the show had left me wanting for more in terms of Khirad being more assertive about her rights as Asher's wife. I found Khirad difficult to resonate with. Asher left me disappointed, too. But, what a powerhouse of acting talent the entire cast of Humsafar is!
Dil-e-Nadaan- AYYO! Why Sila, why? *spoilers* [Please read the content in red only if you've seen the show.]
I'm sorry, but Sila returning to live with Adeel was heartbreaking. Her husband didn't even flinch once before marrying his silly neighbour. Also, Adeel had no idea that his neighbour was hitting on him all the while, and *might* have played a role in creating misunderstandings? WHAT.AN.IDIOT! π‘
Mera Naseeb- The show had its highs-and-lows. I loved the friction between the mothers, and the backstory that explained what lead to it.
WHAT-THE-HECK-SHOWS!!!
Kaash Main Teri Beti Na Hoti- Okay, don't even get me started! π
Mastana Mahi- Concept of two wives living together, and competing for their husband's attention. BLEH! π₯±
Daastan- There is nothing I liked about Daastan. Show lacks redeeming factors. Romance is overdone, and lacks subtlety. I know the show's content was trimmed down to suit the temperament of Indian audiences, but it just didn't make sense to me, at all. Saving Grace- Saba Qamar.
