OK Guys ! Sorry got so busy with Ramzan and family responsibilities that I couldn't follow up with the dramas or post here. Finally have some free time and I binged watched IDC to the current episodes
I LOVED IT !!! It is a light hearted watch so if you are expecting some severe world altering thought process behind it - you will be severely disappointed. So be warned.
So here goes my recap and review so far
1) Rakshi's family are traditional halwais and own most of the sweet shops in the town. Rakshi is the daughter of the family and she really is sweet but extremely ambitious and wants her own sweet shop but her brother Shahnawaz is a little toxic and believes he should inherit all properties. The only support she has is her cousins Sultan(who is in love with her) and Zara. Rakshi is chalak and manages to convince her family to give her 30 days to prove that she will be successful. And here begins the story.
2) On the other side is Sheikh family has enmity with Rakshi's family and their only son Sherry is a culinary school graduate and wants his own restaurant. He gets permission to prove to his dad that he can be successful in 30 days .
3) Rakshi and Sherry are shown to be at loggerheads and end up renting their stores at the same plaza - aamne saamne. There are some misunderstandings initially but they get resolved. Sherry is extreme extrovert and often goes over to Rakshi's shop to annoy her deliberately . Things change between them when they go to a food festival and Rakshi's stall gets attacked. Sherry is at the same festival and he happens to save her. This is the first time that he figures out that her own family is trying to sabotage her. He admires how she is fighting the entire family alone and tries to help her. In a few episodes they become very close - they help in each other in business and also share what their dreams and goals are. They both fall in love.
4) Rakshi's brother along with Rakshi's aunt stop her repeatedly. Sultan who is in love with Rakshi gets jealous of Rakshi's relationship and he pays someone to put rat in Sherry's restaurant and the restaurant closes. This affects Sherry a lot and he decides that Rakshi and Sherry should part ways. Rakshi is devastated. At the same time Rakshi's dad ( old dakianusi abba ji) is unhappy with her relationship with Sherry and forces her with a choice - get engaged to Sultan or lose the store. She choses to get engaged to Sultan because now that Sherry backed off at the first sign of trouble, she has nothing left but the store . Sherry finds out about this and is devastated to hear this even though it was his decision to partways.
This is where the episodes I have watched ends and there are 11 episodes left. Let's see what happens.
Now the review
1) this is a low budget quick Ramzan drama so please don't expect too much out of this. Once again it's light hearted so if you were expecting earth shaking stuff then avoid this drama. Direction and Editing is shitty. Looks like Shahid shafat was disinterested but atleast he gives the kids in the show some room to improvise like some of Shahnawaz's lines were written by Sachal Afzal
2) Sehar as Rakshi and Khushhal as Sherry are awesome and to be honest after the first 3 episodes - they are the ones whose chemistry kept me glued to the screen. They are funny as they fight, sweet when they romance and absolutely delicious when they are separated now in the drama. Yes KK has dialogue delivery problems but man he is such a handsome man and Sherry is a sweet sweet character and Sherry is shown to be so much in love with Rakshi. Sehar is good as usual (other than the first 2 episodes). Sachal Afzal as Shahnawaz is fabulous and was so good that he made me hate Shahnawaz as the villain who cannot speak English very well.
3) If you watch it - please watch it for the tropes - enemies to lovers to separated lovers to re-united lovers. watch it for some sweet scenes between Sherry and Rakshi.
4) Its totally non serious and I love that fact about it.
Ask me whatever you want to and I will try to answer it ASAP !
