First week review/analysis/whatever.. :P :P

1. Good cinematography. The show seems to be shot really well. The bright colours and everything fit well with the youth oriented theme of the show.
   
2. Characters of Uday, Diya, Nupur, Mayank, Gunjan are well etched. [Guess who's missing?]
   
3. Actors portraying above mentioned characters are... competent. Not mind blowingly "give them a Ashutosh Gowariker movie RIGHT THIS MINUTE!" good. But they are believable with their characters.
   
4. Characters of Uday, Nupur and Mayank are likable.
5. Mayank is more than likable! Hotness! EEEEEE! And I love the fact that he marches to the beat of his own drummer and doesn't give a rat's *** about what other people think. I kinda relate to that, I guess? [the independance, not the hotness! 😛]
6. Mayank/Nupur look like they might have GOOD chemistry. If not at first, eventually.
   
   

1. MIND NUMBINGLY BAD "extras"/stock characters - the random people studying in the college. The extras in this show DO NOT LOOK like college kids. They look about 30 - 40. And absolutely DUMB. I fail to understand how EVERYONE in the college is ready to bow to Diya's stupid plan. I mean, other than Mayank, did no one think to themselves that "Hey, this plan really stinks! And why would want to traumatise some random newcomer just coz Diya thinks she's the queen of somewhere and hates her cousins?!!?!" NO ONE? NOT ONE PERSON WITH A BRAIN? 🤢🤢🤢
   
2. Unwanted nonsense like the Main Hoon Na inspired principal and teacher. And what was the teacher's name? AHA!? As in "yehi hai right choice baby, AHA!!!!!"?!?!!? Ok. Whatever you say.
3. The cheesy, corny, crappy (3C) things the characters say and do. Again, everyone falling over themselves to orchestrate Diya's plan. The character is as such nasty to anyone who is outside her social circle. Then why in sweet God's name would they want to be part of this?
   
4. Those "friends" of Diya. The wannabe chick and 2 guys, one scrawny and other called Benjy [which I first thought was "BEHENJI". I thought it was highly weird they were calling a guy BEHENJI. But I have seen stranger things in the show!] or something... Highly aggravating. My hand simply itches to make contact with those people's faces. Ugh. 😡
5. Samrat. I know he seems to have a HUGE fan following here [and I'm sorry if this offends any of you. I don't mean to], but to me, the character just isn't well developed. Or maybe he is, and he's just this big teen movie cliche walking around. Jock of the college, stud, hit with the girls, "innocently" pranking the newcomers, but oh so sensitive, heart of gold, waiting for his Ms. Right. *snort* Right. To me the character just seems like a wannabe. Why is he even doing this? Coz Diya doesn't like her cousins? How is that HIS PROBLEM? Grow a brain and let the spoilt rich girl do her own dirty work. And the guy needs to work a lot on his dialogue delivery and expressions. Beh. Not a fan of him at all. Sorry guys, not working for me.
   
6. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD SCREENPLAY. BAD! BAD BAD BAD!!!!!!! Nonsensical "pranks" like screaming "keeda keeda"? Public loo stalls that lock from the OUTSIDE? The worst? This whole Samrat/Bhavesh plan. Ok, this plan has to be the 3C-est plan I've ever seen for a "prank". Primarily coz:
   a/ So, oily hair, and a satin shirt buttoned up to your nose, and a pair of glasses are supposed to "DISGUISE" you? Seriously???? I mean, ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME? I mean, I can only hope this is some kinda homage to SUPERMAN, since no one can recognise HIM when he wears a pair of glasses and his underwear INSIDE. My god, BRILLIANT DISGUISE! 🤔 SHE *JUST* SAW HIM OUT OF DISGUISE AND APOLOGIZED FOR INJURING THT MORON WITH THE CART!!!!!!!!!! For someone who I thought was a SMART character, her lift doesn't really go up to till the topmost floor does it?
   b/ What was the POINT of the plan? To make her fall in love with Bhavesh? I don't get it. I really don't. Someone please explain what the POINT was.
   c/ If the point WAS to make her fall in love or whatever with him, did they really think she'd fall for him after a day? Well, their STUPID plan payed off then, coz she looked pretty torn. Seriously, new town. Learn the roads to college and back home, adjust with the city, adjust with the college. Do you really want to rush into random crap with some dude? Really stupid plan. Stupid, pointless, 3C. I just hope he falls for her BIG TIME soon and she's in no forgiving mood. And he has to beg and plead for forgiveness. Hmph. I hold out no hope for it happening though.

Ok, I'll just come out and say it.... I didn't like it..... much.... I mean, I don't really have a lot of expectations from a show, you know.... Hot guys, some good romantic scenes, good chemistry between the pair, and a lil humour. Ok maybe, MAYBE, that's a lot. 😛😛

Ok before I start NITPICKING and CRIBBING, let me state the +ves:

1. Good cinematography. The show seems to be shot really well. The bright colours and everything fit well with the youth oriented theme of the show. Will grant them that much...but still, I felt the cinematography of DMG was better when it first started (not trying to compare....but just that I was more impressed by that cinematography....the whole setting here kind of crosses the line from bright and cute to over the top caricaturish😕
   
2. Characters of Uday, Diya, Nupur, Mayank, Gunjan are well etched. [Guess who's missing?] Err....I'm guessing you're not a Samrat fan😆😆😆....I personally think that Uday's character is very badly etched as well....if he's supposed to be 'funny', the humor escapes me somehow🤔😆
   
3. Actors portraying above mentioned characters are... competent. Not mind blowingly "give them a Ashutosh Gowariker movie RIGHT THIS MINUTE!" good. But they are believable with their characters. Some of the actors are😉😆
   😆
4. Characters of Uday, Nupur and Mayank are likable. I'll pick the latter two out of that list😛😆
   
5. Mayank is more than likable! Hotness! EEEEEE! And I love the fact that he marches to the beat of his own drummer and doesn't give a rat's *** about what other people think. I kinda relate to that, I guess? [the independance, not the hotness! 😛] Mayank is awesome!👏👏 I'm enjoying his witty humor and intelligence! Plus he's pretty easy on the eyes😉😆
   
6. Mayank/Nupur look like they might have GOOD chemistry. If not at first, eventually. I'm pretty sure they will....they're both good actors!
   
   

I know a lot of people are comparing it to DMG and are basing their expectations on how DMG started out, but not me, since I didn't particularly like the beginning of DMG either... I mean, its a funny/romantic show in PARTS, but overall, I think DMG could be much better. I actually LOVED the beginning of DMG😳....what it turned into later was ofcourse another story *sigh*😆😆...

Coming back to this show, I don't really know what it is about it. Wait, actually, I do. Let's make another list! Yaaaaaaaay! 😛 This list me likes😈😆

1. MIND NUMBINGLY BAD "extras"/stock characters - the random people studying in the college. The extras in this show DO NOT LOOK like college kids. They look about 30 - 40. And absolutely DUMB. I fail to understand how EVERYONE in the college is ready to bow to Diya's stupid plan. I mean, other than Mayank, did no one think to themselves that "Hey, this plan really stinks! And why would want to traumatise some random newcomer just coz Diya thinks she's the queen of somewhere and hates her cousins?!!?!" NO ONE? NOT ONE PERSON WITH A BRAIN? 🤢🤢🤢 I agree wholeheartedly!!! TERRIBLE actors! NO ONE in this so called Excel 'elite' college seems to have even an IOTA of brains!
   
2. Unwanted nonsense like the Main Hoon Na inspired principal and teacher. And what was the teacher's name? AHA!? As in "yehi hai right choice baby, AHA!!!!!"?!?!!? Ok. Whatever you say. LOL....I'm still 🤔 over that😆😆
3. The cheesy, corny, crappy (3C) things the characters say and do. Again, everyone falling over themselves to orchestrate Diya's plan. The character is as such nasty to anyone who is outside her social circle. Then why in sweet God's name would they want to be part of this?
   
4. Those "friends" of Diya. The wannabe chick and 2 guys, one scrawny and other called Benjy [which I first thought was "BEHENJI". I thought it was highly weird they were calling a guy BEHENJI. But I have seen stranger things in the show!] Behenji??!!🤣 OMG that's hilarious!!or something... Highly aggravating. My hand simply itches to make contact with those people's faces. Ugh. 😡 Ditto! Can't stand Diya and her chamchas🤢
   
5. Samrat. I know he seems to have a HUGE fan following here [and I'm sorry if this offends any of you. I don't mean to], but to me, the character just isn't well developed. Or maybe he is, and he's just this big teen movie cliche walking around. Jock of the college, stud, hit with the girls, "innocently" pranking the newcomers, but oh so sensitive, heart of gold, waiting for his Ms. Right. *snort* Right. To me the character just seems like a wannabe. DITTO!! Exactly! This type of character is a typical feature in almost every show....fair enough....but there should be SOMETHING to it that gives it an edge, right?? Samrat in my opinion doesn't have that....no offence intended to his fans😳Why is he even doing this? Coz Diya doesn't like her cousins? How is that HIS PROBLEM? Grow a brain and let the spoilt rich girl do her own dirty work. And the guy needs to work a lot on his dialogue delivery and expressions. Beh. Not a fan of him at all. Sorry guys, not working for me.
   
6. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD SCREENPLAY. BAD! BAD BAD BAD!!!!!!! Exaaaaaaaaactly!!! THANK YOU for saying that!!👏👏.....Did they put any type of THOUGHT into this screenplay AT ALL????😕Nonsensical "pranks" like screaming "keeda keeda"? Public loo stalls that lock from the OUTSIDE? The worst? This whole Samrat/Bhavesh plan. Ok, this plan has to be the 3C-est plan I've ever seen for a "prank". Primarily coz:
   a/ So, oily hair, and a satin shirt buttoned up to your nose, and a pair of glasses are supposed to "DISGUISE" you? Seriously???? I mean, ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME? I mean, I can only hope this is some kinda homage to SUPERMAN, since no one can recognise HIM when he wears a pair of glasses and his underwear INSIDE. My god, BRILLIANT DISGUISE! 🤔 SHE *JUST* SAW HIM OUT OF DISGUISE AND APOLOGIZED FOR INJURING THT MORON WITH THE CART!!!!!!!!!! For someone who I thought was a SMART character, her lift doesn't really go up to till the topmost floor does it? I just LOVE how you've put this!!🤣.....Creative liberties of a typical daily soap aside, this was just plain dumb!😕
   b/ What was the POINT of the plan? To make her fall in love with Bhavesh? I don't get it. I really don't. Someone please explain what the POINT was. Yes, pleaaaaaase someone explain it to me as well!!! And while they're at it, I would also like a translation of that ped paudha, kaali ghata, nadiya language of his
   c/ If the point WAS to make her fall in love or whatever with him, did they really think she'd fall for him after a day? Well, their STUPID plan payed off then, coz she looked pretty torn. Seriously, new town. Learn the roads to college and back home, adjust with the city, adjust with the college. Do you really want to rush into random crap with some dude? Really stupid plan. Stupid, pointless, 3C. I just hope he falls for her BIG TIME soon and she's in no forgiving mood. And he has to beg and plead for forgiveness. Hmph. I hold out no hope for it happening though. Actually I"m pretty sure that's going to happen.....it happens in every show, will surely happen here as well😆😆😆
   

Frankly, when I saw the promos, I thought Uday and Diya would be the most annoying thing about this show. But I was wrong. This Samrat/Gunjan plot is stupid, awkward, and far too long ALREADY. I can only hope that when the Mayank/Nupur track will be in full swing, the show will redeem itself. Actually I'd take Samrat/Gunjan over Diya and Uday any day😳😆....Diya and Uday traumatize me😆😆....Uday especially...with his attempts at being the 'lovable goofball' or ditz or whatever it is he's trying to portray...I still haven't been able to figure that one out🤔😆😆....Read that apparently this character is supposed to be like Joey from Friends??!! How on EARTH??!!😲🤔

Those are my two cents, no offence intended to anyone😳

Why, thank you! 😳 *curtsey* 😆

Mayank *fans self* I just dissolved into this mushy pile of goo when he made his entry shirtless (my favt kind of men! 😆) I've seen a few episodes of LRL, and I thought Arjun was the most promising of male actors....I completely agree! I LOVED his character in LRL as well!! His sarcastic comebacks and the big chip he carried around on his shoulder...I loved it all! I think he'll do a great job here too! And he is a character with great potential to be scathing with his sarcasm....My favorite brand of humor/wit😈😆😆 No wonder I'm a Mayank fan!😎😆But for that, they need TO GIVE HIM GOOD DIALOGUES. While his shots at Diya were satisfactory yesterday, I couldn't help think that they could have given him a much more smarter comment.... But his dialogue delivery made up for it... Esp when he smirks at "bachpana sa lagega"... *swoooooooooooooooooooons* 😳 COMPLETELY!!! He is the only COOL character in this show!! Like I was saying somewhere else, they've hardly given him any scenes, but even with like the 4 lines he's been given, he was fantastic in those!👏.....but yeah, hoping for more razor sharp comebacks from him! Especially to Dia and her bunch of chamchas😡😆


I have a feeling you and me will get on like a house on fire. 😈😈😈😆 LOL....I think the 😈 are a sign!!😉😆😆



You know what's the most annoying???? How these guys thing they're like greatest thing since sliced bread. Like that patronising girl who pointed off Nupur to the [wo]men's room.... They show her smirking and high fiving her equally dorky looking friend very smugly... Seriously??!!? Oh well, I suppose ever dog has it's day.... 🤔 Exactly!! That is my reaction whenever I'm watching the show....'Seriously'???!!! Dude, even 15 year old high school kids act more mature than this!! Every damn thing is so forced!😕


Oh my god, EDGE? Hahahahahahaha. This dude has as much "EDGE" as a CIRCLE. 😛😛😛 ROFL!! you're right....what was I thinking! 🤣😲....he can do some 'chocolate/goody goody boy' kind of role I guess....NOT the 'college stud'....there isn't anything remotely 'studlike' about him...or is it just me?😕😆😆 To see him verbally spar with Mayank was LAUGHABLE. 🥱🥱🥱 Agreed!! There's just no match! Samrat seems too boyishly young in front of Mayank....like a senior in college is talking to a kid from high school....where's the 'equal footing' on which they were supposed to be sparring?😕I really thought it would end with Mayank maarofying some smartass comment and leaving, and Samrat taking 4 - 5 minutes to get what he said and then feel offended [Like Joey.] ROFL🤣🤣🤣 The image I'm getting in my head, oh god!🤣🤣Mayank looks like he can take this guy down while reading a book on astrophysics or something. Haha...I would bet on that as well! Ha, EDGE. Still giving me the giggles. 😆


It's at points like this I find the Japanese hair restoration cream infomercial on the next channel fascination. 😉 In all honesty, I just fwded through the part to see if Mayank appears in the episode, so I can't even comment on it. And thank God for small mercies such as these. Hehehe....I didn't forward this week's epis as much....was trying to give it all a fair chance😆😆....Or maybe I was desperately hoping to see some sense😕😆😆....but it's good you saved yourself from that....god only knows what it was😆


Diya's voice. Dear lord. It's like, at a frequency only DOGS and BATS can hear. It's like nails on a chalkboard. *OUCHIE!!!!!!!!!!* 😕 That's exactly it!! I'm surprised ppl don't walk around with ear plugs in that college!😲😆😆....ROFL@ only dogs and bats being able to hear that frequency🤣🤣And Uday. *sigh* I know, I'm not supposed to mock ppl based on their looks, specially since I ain't no beauty pageant winner myself 😛, but there's a topic comparing him to the Grinch and Bobby Darling somewhere around here, and all I have to say is YES. YES YES YES, I whole heartedly agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That topic was just BANG ON!!😈🤣🤣

And to compare him to Joey, I'm pretty sure that's illegal in at least all countries which FRIENDS fans reside in!!!!! Somewhere, Matt Le Blanc & the producers of FRIENDS are screaming in terror. Pure, unadulterated fear. 😕 ROFL🤣🤣 And as a FRIENDS fans myself, I take big time offence to that claim!! From what angle is he supposed to be Joey??? I think it's more like a cross b/w the Grinch and Donkey from Shrek as someone pointed out in various posts🤣🤣

Ok, I'll just come out and say it.... I didn't like it..... much.... I mean, I don't really have a lot of expectations from a show, you know.... Hot guys, some good romantic scenes, good chemistry between the pair, and a lil humour. Ok maybe, MAYBE, that's a lot. 😛😛

Ok before I start NITPICKING and CRIBBING, let me state the +ves:

Good cinematography. The show seems to be shot really well. The bright colours and everything fit well with the youth oriented theme of the show. I agree with you on the good cinematography part, but really, some of the stuff Dia was wearing i don't think is allowed in colleges, its like she's going to the disco not to college, just cos you're the princess of the college doesn't mean the principal won't throw you out if you come wearing cloths like that.
Characters of Uday, Diya, Nupur, Mayank, Gunjan are well etched. [Guess who's missing?] I think one more character should go missing from this list, it's Dia's, I mean put you're hands up if you have seen this exact person in Teen movies 1000 times before. It's not well etched, its well copied, and so is the character of the one you didn't mention.
Actors portraying above mentioned characters are... competent. Not mind blowingly "give them a Ashutosh Gowariker movie RIGHT THIS MINUTE!" good. But they are believable with their characters. I have to agree here, Other than the dude who plays Uday i didn't find anyone else as something to write home about. Sometimes Gunjan was good with her expressions. other than that, it was just average, I won't judge Mayank till i see some more of him cos i've seen him in LRL and he's pretty decent there.😃
Characters of Uday, Nupur and Mayank are likable. Mayank is more than likable! Hotness! EEEEEE! And I love the fact that he marches to the beat of his own drummer and doesn't give a rat's *** about what other people think. I kinda relate to that, I guess? [the independance, not the hotness! 😛] You got it there girl, I mean Mayank is something more than just hot. the attitude without over the top machoness is something i love.😳😳
1. Mayank/Nupur look like they might have GOOD chemistry. If not at first, eventually. I agree, watching the title many times over has me convinced of this.
   
   

I know a lot of people are comparing it to DMG and are basing their expectations on how DMG started out, but not me, since I didn't particularly like the beginning of DMG either... I mean, its a funny/romantic show in PARTS, but overall, I think DMG could be much better.

Coming back to this show, I don't really know what it is about it. Wait, actually, I do. Let's make another list! Yaaaaaaaay! 😛

1. MIND NUMBINGLY BAD "extras"/stock characters - the random people studying in the college. The extras in this show DO NOT LOOK like college kids. They look about 30 - 40. And absolutely DUMB. I fail to understand how EVERYONE in the college is ready to bow to Diya's stupid plan. I mean, other than Mayank, did no one think to themselves that "Hey, this plan really stinks! And why would want to traumatise some random newcomer just coz Diya thinks she's the queen of somewhere and hates her cousins?!!?!" NO ONE? NOT ONE PERSON WITH A BRAIN? 🤢🤢🤢 I was thinking the same while watching, PLS get a good supporting cast people. go around mumbai and find some actors looking for work. these ones are have not seen a college since the time of Akbar(that was when they went to college themselves.) only thing i can say in their defense is that, this kind of mindless ragging does happen in the real world. People sometimes get brain washed very easily or is too scared to stand aginst the so called "IT" people. I've seen this at y own college

Unwanted nonsense like the Main Hoon Na inspired principal and teacher. And what was the teacher's name? AHA!? As in "yehi hai right choice baby, AHA!!!!!"?!?!!? Ok. Whatever you say. The cheesy, corny, crappy (3C) things the characters say and do. Again, everyone falling over themselves to orchestrate Diya's plan. The character is as such nasty to anyone who is outside her social circle. Then why in sweet God's name would they want to be part of this? I love you're 3 C's, Will remember that for future refference. BTW doesn't Mayank have any friends, i mean other than the 1000's he helps doesn't he have a freaking friend. That's kind of sad for him don't you think? if he had some friends maybe something could have been done in that college to stop Dia and her evil clones.
Those "friends" of Diya. The wannabe chick and 2 guys, one scrawny and other called Benjy [which I first thought was "BEHENJI". I thought it was highly weird they were calling a guy BEHENJI. But I have seen stranger things in the show!] or something... Highly aggravating. My hand simply itches to make contact with those people's faces. Ugh. 😡 Samrat. I know he seems to have a HUGE fan following here [and I'm sorry if this offends any of you. I don't mean to], but to me, the character just isn't well developed. Or maybe he is, and he's just this big teen movie cliche walking around. Jock of the college, stud, hit with the girls, "innocently" pranking the newcomers, but oh so sensitive, heart of gold, waiting for his Ms. Right. *snort* Right. To me the character just seems like a wannabe. Why is he even doing this? Coz Diya doesn't like her cousins? How is that HIS PROBLEM? Grow a brain and let the spoilt rich girl do her own dirty work. And the guy needs to work a lot on his dialogue delivery and expressions. Beh. Not a fan of him at all. Sorry guys, not working for me. I think he's pretty cute, but really needs to work hard, he doesn't have the attitude he needs till now, maybe cos he's very new to all this, and Rati,Sanya and Arjun have done a lot of work before and Jas Karan has also done some work. He's the new guy there, so lets give him sometime, i still have hope for him.

1. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD SCREENPLAY. BAD! BAD BAD BAD!!!!!!! Nonsensical "pranks" like screaming "keeda keeda"? Public loo stalls that lock from the OUTSIDE? The worst? This whole Samrat/Bhavesh plan. Ok, this plan has to be the 3C-est plan I've ever seen for a "prank". Primarily coz:
   a/ So, oily hair, and a satin shirt buttoned up to your nose, and a pair of glasses are supposed to "DISGUISE" you? Seriously???? I mean, ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME? I mean, I can only hope this is some kinda homage to SUPERMAN, since no one can recognise HIM when he wears a pair of glasses and his underwear INSIDE. My god, BRILLIANT DISGUISE! 🤔 SHE *JUST* SAW HIM OUT OF DISGUISE AND APOLOGIZED FOR INJURING THT MORON WITH THE CART!!!!!!!!!! For someone who I thought was a SMART character, her lift doesn't really go up to till the topmost floor does it?
   b/ What was the POINT of the plan? To make her fall in love with Bhavesh? I don't get it. I really don't. Someone please explain what the POINT was.
   c/ If the point WAS to make her fall in love or whatever with him, did they really think she'd fall for him after a day? Well, their STUPID plan payed off then, coz she looked pretty torn.

Errr... I think I should stop now, before you guys tie me to a stake and set me on fire. 😳 I just wanna reiterate that these are merely MY views. I'm not posting them to offend or imposing them on anyone, and do/will not judge anyone for disagreeing with me.

Comments?
Nimmi 😛

Great analysis! 👏
