A slow start to a predictable plot!

Don't get me wrong folks, I have to give it to Shaheer and Suchitra for their convincing performances...but too many characters and a predictable plot of obvious negatives and grey really took away the charm for me. Erica was too forced in her act of playing a bubbly young girl...it is a bit disappointing for all the hype created!!

Is this show akin to Qubool Hai? I mean, in one of the extended promos, they've literally copied the dialogues from Asya's first encounter.

exactly my reaction ! i watched the precap and was like omg ! they copied asad-zoya's first takkar and bickering !
Asad : Aapko chalney ki tameez nehi hai toh ghar par kyu nehi rehti !
Zoya : aapko baat karney ki tameez nehi hai toh khamosh kyu nehi rehti !😲

is this from same production house ?

No it's not from same p h. This made by beyond dreams who made Veera. Sad haq and a lot more. What's strange is I said I wouldn't watch any ther show of theirs but for Shaheer I am trying it out. Maybe the writer is a old fan but of qubool hai which I watched until season 1 ended

Too many characters are honestly taking away the charm! There was no need of mama-mami and horde of cousins! Neha would have been suffice...the character of Dev is well written and well played but I do not hold same opinion for the others!

I agree.

I thought yesterday's episode was very average, but today's was much better.

It is Shaheer's character and his acting which has me hooked to this show right now. Despite his character being written as a typical TV adarsh beta, he is breathing life into it and making him likable (for now). I think Shaheer brings a lot of depth to his character without making him one-dimensional.

I hope the conflict between his love for his mother and Sonakshi is not one-dimensional or black and white. It should be real and believable, if this show is to standout from the scores of shows made on mamma's boys on TV.

I actually liked Dev and Neha's bond. Has shades to it. Can be interesting to watch. I can relate to their relationship, unlike say, Dev's relationship with his mother.

Coming to Sonakshi, she is a typical bubbly, forthright TV lead. Nothing special about her. I liked their meeting 'cause it was usual romantic fare, but they had good chemistry. We'll have to wait and watch if she can match up to Shaheer because it doesn't seem like it right now.

I started watching this show because I was attracted by what they called a 'realistic' love story, so I hope we get to see that. My fave moment of theirs was the phone conversation where she thinks he has hung up and he says, "Haan, sun raha hoon". Something about that moment was so honest and fresh.

Anyway, I do think I will enjoy this couple, so I hope this show doesn't devolve into saas-bahu crap like other channels' shows. Sony, don't disappoint us.

@MeSelf- Oh yeah, totally forgot she is a doctor. 😆 Again, even I'm irritated with these batteesi-flaunting heroines. Bubbly does not mean irritating. When will Indian TV learn that?

I only have some hope from this show 'cause the channel is Sony, otherwise if it was on Star or Colors I would have run away from it. You're right though, I'm also going in with low expectations.

What did you think of today's episode?

I don't know about others but I have usually met doctors in hospitals only!😆 And man these batteesi-flaunting typical leads of our Indian soaps...I feel like getting in my TV sets and breaking their batteesi!!!


Today's episode was another average one...I mean that entire Neha angle could have been dealt with in a better manner...there was no need to make such an issue, it could have been dealt with privately between Neha and her fiance without the involvement of Dev! Also is it me or that mami is downright irritating??

I have to agree with you. The promos looked really refreshing but sorry to say, the product turned out disappointing. It came across as really typical, apart from the almirah scene where Dev displayed emotional vulnerability - something not explored enough in male leads on Indian telly.

1. The actress had a poise & thehrav to her character in the promos, but in the show so far, she's come across as the typical bubbly kind of character.

2. The way the leads met & the way they bickered wasn't something I expected at least based on the promos. But OK I won't complain. But given the kind of character Dev has shown to be, the way he bickered with Sonakshi was a little off character for me?

3. And the whole sister problems & Maami filling her ears against the family really put me off because its so typical & I think we can all see where this is going to go in the future.

I am gonna just see how the show progress for some time, maybe a month & then I will decide if I want to watch it further or not.
