I was saying the same thing earlier today. Mujhe laga controversial hoga but a lot of people seem to agree to some extent. Aaj kal, I don't enjoy the show the way I used to. Jab se Kohlapur waapis aaye hain, something has been missing. Shaayad wahaan restrictions mein they had to be creative, yahaan they've gotten lazy, but despite a good story, solid characters and solid conflict potential, the magic is missing somewhere.
I used to watch the show at 6am, and be so excited, abhi I'm skipping half the episodes. I had said this jab promo aaya tha- too many antagonists, too much going wrong, so many balls in the air, and not enough character insights. Yeah, we can analyse and interpret jee bhar ke, but jab tak screen pe nahi hai, it's not satisfying in the same way.
Also, I know we all enjoy angst and all, but is show ka USP used to be how well the light and heavy moments were intertwined with each other- just like real life. Aaj kal kuch lighthearted dikhta hi nahi, and the heavy moments are so heavy, ki kuch light aaye bhi toh it doesn't give the same vibe it used to- like the yoga scene and the AC remote and banter scene were adorable, but in the midst of so much chaos, I can't enjoy it dil se. I'm sure a lot of people do love the angst and heaviness also, but these days life only is so stressful, I personally want entertainment to be an escape from the heaviness, which this show used to do for me so well, but doesn't anymore.
Ashi!❤️
