Seriously the characters seem like those written by amateur wattpad writers. There is no depth, no connection, and in fact are al bland and one dimensional that it feels like they are carved out of cardboard.
The one character that had promised to be multi dimensional is sadly oscillating between supposedly genius plans that mostly backfire and image maintenance that is mostly a failure.
What the hell is going on in this show!
Using a brand name of IMMJ which had given us two brilliant seasons (no matter how much they disappointed later; at least the mystery part was intact and characters had layers), this shit in comparison literally destroys all their hard earned reputation.
It is not the actors to blame completely. The characters are so bland and direction so jerky and kaam chalao types that it is no wonder even the actors appear bad.
Zain has a wonderful screen presence and does angsty and nasty roles well. Reem suits bubbly girl image well too. And yet this time both fail at what they had done before. All because of the characterization and direction.
Forget Zain and Reem, the characters have no chemistry. When Agastya goes near Paakhi, despite him being her best friend, she appears uncomfortable and uneasy to a degree as if that was a stranger.
Honestly it gives me creepy vibes instead of chemistry.
None of the male leads in these latter two seasons can compete with Deep in mental games and evilness. Vansh despite his Shrewdness loved Riddhima. But Deep was a whole. Different shade of black. Even his closeness with the protagonist Arohi did not feel aa creepy as Agastya and Paakhi's does.
The concept was interesting, cast had potential but with a lackluster execution, this show has no proper future.
