But like you said, the younger generation is really lacking. Amaya really needs to tone down her expressions. The constant over-exaggeration is grating to watch. Mantu, for the most part, is okay in certain scene and needs to improve in others. I feel like Rama hasn't gotten the opportunity to really flex his acting skills but yes, so far from what we've seen, he's not the strongest actor.
But Uma, my god. She is just so irritating to watch on screen, regardless of her character. Even when Uma is being good, it feels so fake. The actress needs to work on her expression and even voice modulation. I always feel like Uma shrieks too much in her dialogues.
That said, I think it's worth acknowledging that most of them have grown a little bit, esp when you compare them to their entry scenes.
