Liking all the leads: Isha is lively and fun, Priyanka has a calm, confident vibe and Ankit is nailing every scene he's getting. Though Jasmine and Fateh look good together I ship Tejo and Fateh. The side characters are perfect for their parts esp. Jas, Jas's Mom and Bozo. I know Jas is the villian but he's really cute. Fateh's siblings and friends scenes are delightful. I love seeing their bond.
The downside is the story execution, IMO. First the pacing was off which is fortunately now good with Fateh learning that Tejo is Jasmine's sister, Jasmine wants to go to Canada and Jasmine coming to know that Fateh is her 'imported' lover. Still, these scenes somehow felt underwhelming. The impact was somewhat missing.
Fateh's character is going downhill by him choosing Jasmine over India / Punjab / his family. I thought boxing and winning an Olympic medal for India was his dream and it seemed that he gave up the dream easily. After seeing how much his mother was crying for Simran, the scene where he assures Jasmine of going to Canada looked particularly bad. Where is the Fateh who threw aside Jasmine's paper plane of Canada wish? How is he so accepting of Jasmine's Canada dream?
Also, Tejo needs to dial down a little when it comes to Fateh. Sometimes, she is way too rude and aggressive with him. I liked that Tejo and Fateh had similar values like Rani and Hritik in Mujhse Dosti Karoge. Fateh's softer side was reminiscent of Diya Aur Baati Hum's Sooraj. I don't want to see the cliched, unnecessary tashan between Fateh and Tejo.
Definitely enjoying the show. The acting is on point, wish the story execution can been stronger and little bit fresher.
