So many posts asking for suggestions for scenes, story etc. So let me be constructive and not only complain 😉
What I miss...is NOT the big stuff...no scenes etc. But the small stuff...that was so consistent and magical.
- Manik tucking her hair back...and Nandini looking mesmerized when he did.
- Them intertwining hands
- The way she said his name softly...with love just sooo obvious
- The way they looked at one another across a room, a corridor, a whole damn party...and knew what the other was thinking.
- Them silently comforting each other
- Manik simmering down just because she put her hand on his arm
- Their hugs...oh their hugs...like they needed to feel each other closer than ever ..needed more than air or water or life itself
And not just manik n Nandini ..
- Mukti and Manik talking in their own ' bro code'...he gets her like no one does
- Dhruv & Manik knowing what to say...and what not to say..to each other. And knocking sense into each other when no one else can.
- The timely focus on the minutest reactions...not a play set where camera stays in one place...or standard reaction shots overtime something dramatic happens
- Harshad and Alya - yes, I DO miss them...because when Harshad looked at Alya, you saw a brother soften, become a bit less abrasive.
- Manik & Chachi !!! Oh how I miss their smiles
- Dhruv & nandini
These are not scenes...these are the SOPs - Standard Operating Procedures - of the characters. And yes, this is S2, not S1 blah blah blah...but same characters, same location, same setting...means you cannot NOT expect consistency. Look at other shows in the west that have seasons...characters don't just have a personality replacement with every new season.
To those who are asking how to correct - don't just suggest scenes, or stories, or ' send him away, send her away' type things only. Get the CHARACTERS back first...then the characters will guide the scenes, the reactions.
As far as correcting the story & actor chemistry goes...sigh, who knows. It'll either happen hopefully by the time Diwali episodes come...or if not, everyone who is expecting a load of changes will be disappointed. I'm prepared for the worst.
