Seeing a advt of BV with the new cast somewhere i came to know only yesterday that show has taken a leap...such is my passion about TV.
Since its BV and not a Kekta show I decided to give it a try and on voot watched the entire series from 25th April till date and despite all criticism on this forum i must admit that i liked it.
This is my take on the new story standalone as i have no clue of what was happening on it before leap:
1. I realised Mahi looked very much like older version of Gracy in terms of frame and complexion thus full marks for casting.
2. Dr Amit has a very strong screen presence and a very soft yet sensual voice but his role has not been developed to do justice to this good looking actor.
3. Krish played by Ruslaan is a replica of his role in his debut serial Kehta hai dil jee le zara, only Mahi Vij has replaced Sangita Ghosh so nothing new from him. Also he doesn't have the personality like Dr Amit still has managed to create a soft corner about him due to his brilliant role.
Why i so much liked Nandini Krish relationship over Nandini and Dr Amit.
1. Krish is young, only 22 so his jolly nature is expected. I was sceptical when i read the criticism that he is a clown and should be slapped, but i found him innocent and likeable.
2. Krish was the only person who took stand for Nandini every time he saw her being abused. He was searching people's giri hui soch on the ground to mock every person joining in laughter created by naanisa when Nandini had fallen during her dance on Sudha's shagun. He encouraged Nandini to live her life with freedom and brought her back on the dance floor.
3. Krish is not shown as a clown only and has got brains too. He helped Nandini when Sudha attempted suicide by flushing out the poison consumed by her or caught Naani Sa in the act of moving the lamp near Nandini which set aflame her pallu and confronted her so tactfully that naani believed him to be on her side. He also arranged fake police to tackle Sudha's inlaws and did all that despite being slapped by Nandini. He was the one who shut out Vandana by stating that her divorce no longer matters as legally she has no right over Dr Amit being more than five years away. How did he know that Vandana was away from him for over 5 years is something else. The justification he gave for helping just won me over that his desire to break AN marriage is not at the cost of Nandini's self respect and that only she has the right to break it not any majboori was very very thoughtful.
4. Krish is strong minded also which was evident when he skilfully proves his point stating marks dont matter, or he was making the video to give it to Nandini or how would a doctors reputation be stained if she dances in her sisters marriage and many others. Whenever something wrong was happening to Nandini it was Krish only who stood up and never Dr Amit. Also It was Krish only who acted swiftly and removed fire from Nandini's pallu.
His character despite young is developed well so far that my heart wanted Nandini to only fall for him despite Dr Amit being more handsome, more respectful and more learned being a senior doctor and Krish only an intern with a step father.
I also think that the tracks were a little rushed and Dr Amit proposing Nandini and Krishs proposal could have been dealt more with emotions but same was missing. I also feel that Krish's passion for Nandini has not been shown but care has been evident. I don't think Krish will turn negative but nobody marries anyone without even knowing anything about him. Nandini never asked Krish why he was living as a tenant when he has a home and a mother. Lots of loopholes but still enjoyable as where else we have seen a ex husband becoming Fil. I am hopeful for an interesting future track.
