I am old too, an avid watcher of ITV and have watched almost all the shows of the 90s (best time of ITV). I have even watched one year of Saraswatichandra not for Shiny (didn't even know her then as she was a newcomer) but for Jennifer. I had to quit the show because of the offscreen drama, you know who was responsible and then the story took an awful turn with Shiny's character falling for her Jiju
But this show pulled me because I have been watching the OG since it began 3 years ago which is from my state and since other regional remakes have been successful, thought they would exactly copy the same thing here. But what I am watching, a completely different version, infact ghatiya, cheap remake with a certain character always getting the limelight.
As for the offscreen drama, I am trying to stay away from this time and trying to be more mature and not leave the show like the last time. I am not involved, nor comment much but certain actors are not making it easy for me to stay put😕
Imagine watching Pandian Stores .. and then being served Bhabi Store in Hindi
Is this kaala Jaadu ? Hypnotism ? Possesion ?!
How are the writers SO tone deaf .. so unaware of what works with the audience and what doesn't?!
Let's not even talk about the dumpster fire that SRWTCHNDRA was .. and who lit the match 🤡
I just want to watch my show and ... not get a pounding headache. Is that too much to ask ?
Speaking of 90s ... Doordarshan pe Byomkesh Bakshi was my favourite 😍
