Watched Sanjivani epi 1...
Long story short....it's a severe case of actor-character mismatch for SC....Namit still did well with his character in epi 1 while SC's character was completely insufferable....there is nothing to connect to or sympathize with. And the direction doesn't do justice to SC's expressions.....no dhang ke close-ups in her one on one scenes with various characters.
And that haircut honestly isn't suiting her already school-marmish character....they think they are trying to create "mystery" with her surname issue but it is still pretty underwhelming.
Too many characters in the show and so far the presentation of SC's character has just not been good.....needs a severe writing overhaul if it is to survive.....even SC's acting can't save this as of now.
What I don't get is why not try to show her character bonding with a senior doctor in epi 1 like Shashank or someone? Direct jump to her banging into random ppl and instantly hyper arguing in a very forced manner.....the character is just not making an impact.
Man, Anika itni yaad aayi....I've never seen SC look so mismatched before....even her QH character didn't give me this feel....maybe that was a long time ago, that's why.....I know all characters can't be Anika for SC but man, this is a real bummer of a character for her.....impact hi nahin hai.
Namit in fact seemed quite at ease in his character to my surprise...not that I felt khaas interested in his cliched character either but he fit it.....SC was just not suiting whatever half-baked character they've given her......the Haryanvi girl with her got a better scene with Shashank....lol
