I have so much to say!!!! The scenes between them are so full of symbolism I feel like each deserves a separate topic and yesterday my heart broke for them ❤️also their BG songs/music are so appealing. Copy pasting what I wrote on Twitter :
So as someone who's followed Sukirti's work since Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani, although I've loved her performances always, but show wise I felt like Dilli Wali Thakur Gurls was a really good show too.
but I have to say that show is nothing compared to the sheer masterpiece of Story 9 Months Ki.
Every frame every character is done so beautifully I guess the team took full advantage of the delay in the launch to make it really great.
Alia Shroff : I am blown away. I could tell from day 1 she is a damn strong and well written character (such a rarity for a female lead to be this sorted on Indian TV!) There's something so soft in the way she does things for her maid without expecting rewards!
Sarangdhar Pandey : What a patakha this guy is.Also one of the best ML I have ever seen on an Indian TV show. strong, he has a sense of humour, he's a feminist, and he's overall SO POSITIVE. as someone who writes, I ❤️ him. A protagonist on an Indian TV show who is not only NOT an Asshole but is ACTUALLY a nice guy. Never would've thought also the small town guy is way more broad-minded than the so called "bade sheher waale" folks!
SaraLia scenes : my favourite is the one where Alia falls and Sarang catches her (hey it's filmy but it was shot mostly from Sarang's POV so for me it was really really sweet) ALSO SHE SHOWS HER VULNERABILITY! HE WIPES HER TEARS! (My poor heart.) He's going to be there to catch her when she falls, ya'all.
I love how Sukirti & Aashay's characters are yet to have an "official" meeting and yet their lives are so different yet connected. Storytelling shines here .
I LOVE the office scenes. Sukirti Kandpal plays the "khadoos perfectionist boss" to the HILT and also man I am sUCH an Alia 😒
This show is relatable AF.
The relationships I love : Alia & Rabia's friendship (also, Rabia is me, I am Rabia!), Sarangdhar and his mom, Alia & Sunita, Sarangdhar and the taxi driver (Ramesh?)
Also - ahem - I love how Scarlet & Rahul stood up for Alia. They know her better than the others and it shows.
In conclusion - this show is probably Sukirti's best comeback ever (although she's done some great work post PKYEK) but we don't have any "youth based shows" these days. It's all hate marriages, paid marriages, class divide marriages. And honestly I am sick and tired of watching the girl come off as "lesser" than the guy in the umpteen shows I watched.
