Obviously, I'll share my comments with you. I got done till their marriage and first night episodes last night. I am definitely liking it - especially for the slow pace of the story between IshRa. Like, there's no faltu ka trip-fall-catch or even touching between them just to show their moments. Every time they take one step ahead, they take two backwards in the relationship. There's a high level of angst here and I always enjoy that. 😆
In terms of the cast, I've always liked KP from his earlier shows so no surprise there. His expressions are always on point. He does sarcasm and humour really well. DT's scenes with Ruhi are quite well-scripted and acted. Some of them really end up making me emotional. And the other characters are also good, the lady playing Raman's mother has good comic timing too. 😆 Initially, I felt Raman's mother would be the loud one and Ishita's mother would be the relatively sane one, but with her impulsiveness, Madhavi ended up making Santosh look way decent. Also, when reading up about the cast and characters, I read that Sayantani was going to be signed up for Shagun and then they went with Anita. I was so glad reading that - warna how would we have got Neela maa. 😆
Ashok and Shagun are too feeka as negative characters so far. Shagun is still understable given that she isn't portayed as a strong character and her thinking is easily influenced, bit Ashok truly seems to be daft as yet. When they heard that Raman and Ishita are both getting married so suddenly and have also gone to the same hotel to meet their potential spouses, not even as a far-fetched idea did it occur to them that these two could be getting married with each other - especially given the custody hearing looming over their heads?! I'm curious to know why did someone as pretty as Shagun end up marrying the plain and simple Raman in the first place. Anyway, let's see how it goes ahead. Aur ye Romi faaltu ka cheapda bana baitha hain. 🤔
I don't skip parts but usually multitask when watching shows - I'm usually always doing something at the same time, and I also am a late sleeper so watch at night as well. 😆
Sarcy🤗 I love you because u correctly understand why I recommend u some show n u like it exactly for the same reasons😆
The acting department and the thehrav in the story is what makes me love this show. At least in this initial phase, the story neither is dragged nor is rushed. They give u just enough background and necessary aftermath scenes to feel what just happened. Previously, hotstar description of yhm used to be something like - A mature take on complex relationship of Raman n ishita who are brought together by destiny and Raman's daughter Ruhi. And the show perfectly stood by this...various complex relationships and their mature journey. Not just ishita-raman-ruhi, but each n every character has a journey in this show. Even cheapda romi will get better with time😆 The journey of all the relationships is good too. It's not sudden like Shaadi ho gayi toh tu humare ghar ki beti types😆 Nor there's typical saas bahu drama where bahu has to prove herself at every given instance n saas keeps plotting against her. One stanza of the title track goes like -
Yeh khatti meethi
Takraar hai ya pyaar
Yeh rootha roothi
Yeh khatti meethi
Sath sath rehna hai
Roothna manaana hai
Yeh kaisi hai ladaai
Ek dor kheeche hai
Ek dor baandhe hai
Hoti nahi hai judaai
Ek duje we hain shikaayatein
Fir bhi sang hai yeh hai mohabbatein
...and that's exactly how the bonds in this show r created. There is nothing sugar sweet nor dramatically bitter. All of them regularly have their share of arguments, but they know how to reconcile smoothly. Toshi-ishita r one of the best saas bahu duos on itv I have watched. Toshi initially doesn't like ishita, yet gives her a respect that Ruhi's mother deserves, gradually they both start liking each other, then toshi stands by Ishita's side when she's right n if required, gives her right advices. Ishita is no super bahu from the beginning. Along with Ruhi's love, Toshi's teachings have made ishita real ishimaa.
Ashok was a funny villain😆 Wait for some more episodes, ull love watching him with Raman😆 Raman n his chhe foot do inch are eternal love🤣 Asli kameena villain of yhm is Param. He is one leech and gives u creeps. The one who played Mahesh in khkt is ashok's brother in yhm...he is one intelligent classy guy too. Shagun is one headache Sayantani was supposed to play shagun? I never knew that. Thank god it didn't happen, I can't really imagine her as shagun...she is too intense to play a role as shallow as shagun. Waise no worries about neela maa, had someone else than Anita played shagun, the role would have ended way back in 2015😆
