Character Justification - MAYANK! - Page 5

100% agree with you. While the P is an eye candy, he cannot elicit the same emotions. Mayank wasn't your conventional M&B prince charming type characters, he was just Mayank, like Nupur had once said. Mayank doesn't have a fancy cell phone, expensive clothes, a bike, leather jacket et al. You can see him calling Nupur from a PCO, walking on the streets, waiting on a B.E.S.T bus stop or traveling in an auto. The moment he tried to turn into a figment of Nupur's imagination, he was lost to me.

Actually this is what I admired a lot!! He doesn't have car, he still waits for auto...he doesn't have a cell...
its make him unique..


THAT and also the incessant smirking, hanging from autos and nishana sadhoofying dialogues is what ruined this beautiful character for me. We don't need to see traces of Arjun in here. If we did, we have the good old SBS clips to fall back on. What we needed to see was Mayank and how he would've reacted to a particular situation.

Excellent post.

What made Mayank different was that he was a regular but not so regular guy. Agree with you, he's ruined. And he isn't coming back.
