MB was very good in today's epi...in full form as the quintessential senior doctor...shades of Shashank...I especially liked how the beginning scene was handled from his end...nothing OTT...trying to handle the situation rationally/calmly as much as he could given that he was in a rush and Nidhi was busy creating a tamasha.

Nidhi's reactions were a bit OTT...especially the hot buns/extra cheese/burger bit that she was blabbing about that I didn't really find funny exactly.

Anji's dad continues to be a carbon copy of the original...

And Ranganath enters today...Has Vishal gained weight?? His face looks kinda heavier than I remember...given the brief of the character based on the original series, I guess he was more or less what I expected...but he could work on making the character a bit more natural with that self-effacing charm...In some bits I couldn't tell if he was joking as he does about everything or if there was some kind of underlying pain/loneliness in the character that he hides.

Mallika was the surprise package...given what I've seen of Sheena in the original, I think Ruksar was fantastic...I liked her much more than the original Sheena from DK...she lent more softness to her character...didn't look as harsh...I especially liked the bit near the air drying machine when Ashutosh withdraws his hands when she brings hers forward.

The rest of Nidhi's antics in the epi were quite OTT...first with the way she was trying to "hide" in the briefing and then later on showing up at Ashutosh's office with the mask still on😕😆...I liked MB in that scene again as well where he calmly told her how ridiculous she was looking and even the "You" reaction he had when she finally took off the mask was well done.

Precap was good...Ashutosh asking her what the hell is wrong with her😆...I'm looking forward to seeing how their interactions progress.

They do need to watch out for overusing the 'saiyaan' line every two seconds...don't make an overkill out of it. The bg music issues weren't too bad today.

Hey Nu,
I too felt that Vishal has put on few pounds!! He is doing fine till date...I wanna see more of Mallika to decide between Sheena and her. Anji's father is ditto copy...I loved all the scenes in wich MB was there...He is just adding the X Factor in all of them!! The Ah ha and ahhhs!! haha
But on the background music, I have to say, they cant be using Saiyaannn all the time...This should be applicable in ONLY MB and Nidhi's scenes or in future when she starts day dreaming...You cant play Saiyaan, between Nidhi-Bua, Nidhi-Baba, Nidhi-Anji, Nidhi - Wardboy, Nidhi - servant, Nidhi - sweeper...Nidhi-Just about any tom, dick and harry...It looses its romanticism!!

LOL I feel the original Sheena had a permanently sour expression on her face like a choosa hua aam😆...I'm liking Rukhsar more so far. Yeah remains to be seen what they show of her as the show progresses but I have a feeling she'll do a very good job.

Vishal could afford to work on the nuances of his character a bit more too although he's ok for now.

I agree about the bg music...they need to stop playing Saiyaan anytime Ashu-Nidhi are even SLIGHTLY in the same frame together...they played it wayyy too much in that briefing scene as A and N keep missing seeing each other😆

I did not understand Nidhi today, at all and that could be because of the overdose of characters like hers. I am still waiting for her other shades to be let, what with my admiration for KK's acting skills. Now then, the Mallika lady, she tugged at my one-sided-lover heartstrings. Meaning, I haven't seen a softer and maturer character like hers on TV till date. Just that, the woman doesn't look good, sorry for being err, shallow. But I did feel the impact she left in the episode.

Vishal spoke a corny range of dialogue but he always makes his presence felt on TV, I remember watching him here and there all the time right from my childhood, like really young childhood. I used to catch glimpses of his character roles in movies and err TV shows and everything. He's cool.

Ashutosh is quite like Shashank, what I'd say is, he's the kind of Shashank subjected to a love story, sorta. The actor's brilliant and I liked him throughout.


It was Nidhi I found outrageous today, even her friend was sensible today, err. So, I am hoping Nidhi controls her Arohi reminiscence and everything.

WOW... WORD.. Anu... so very well put up..!! 🤗

MB was... like seriously...too good!! He made me a phangirl for a while.. before i had to hit myself to come back n be objective..!! He was reallly in his element today... be it wanting to rush off from the argument.. to answer the call of his duty..!! Or his irritation at the new intern.. who seems to already make him uncomfy.. be it with her antics..or as in the OT.. her blank expressions..!

I loved the bit when he said... 'ridiculous' coz he summed up my thots for the entire reaction of Nidhi in the OT n in the office... 'RIDICULOUS' indeed..!! Btw.. .did u notice the lil grin on his face seeing Nidhi wearing the mask.. 😳 Shoo cutteee!!

Me feel.. Vishal is gonna add to the cheesiness... so well.. i will look away at the moment...!! (Have already started missing.. Sajid Hassan.. BIG TIME!!)

But ..for me.. Rukshar.. really holds a lot of hope... have liked her portrayals in past..n hope it will be worth it in the show as well!!

Kritz was good in the first half.. but then..th graph went down n down.. esp the pre OT scene... WHAT WAS IT 😳


@Sheena... oh tell me about it... the only character of DK i ..disliked.. not for the nature..but the potrayal was sheena...she was.. really... weird with her expressions..! Rukhsars interaction with Mohnish was far more heartwarming today...

MB was so good ! Reminded me of sanjeevani days 😍 The same charm...the same style...Dr. Shashank 😍 haiii..*swoons*

The "saiyaan" line kept playing every second in the scene where nidhi-ashutosh kept missing each other in the class...like seriously..its such a beautiful song..I love it..but please don't kill it for me...by playing it non-stop 😳

Nidhi is bit OTT but dunno maybe the character is like that in the original too... :S Also Anu you have seen DK...so malika is supposed to be a grey character or what? 😕

Oh here's the second post - I said stuff on the older thread, but who says I can't repeat 😆

So, to repeat myself, MB was fantastic. I thought the OT scene was done well in terms of actors retaining their body language reflecting respective states of mind, but content wise, both OT scene, and the later in his office scene were - well, been there, done that.

Given that MB is playing a senior doctor, again, and Kritika is playing the chatterbox brat (at least for starters) again - the CVs of this show need to come up with some exclusive encounter scenes between these leads, to actually cut themselves slack beyond TV's usual drill scenes. And honestly, given the difference of this 'love story' - there's tons of scope. To me, Nidhi wasn't cute today - not cute to if I was senior reserved and resolved doctor like Ashutosh. They need to work on that - show her as her age, but not over do it - because hello, she's eventually going to reach out the heart locked away in this twice her age over mature man - I don't see credibility in him following for her shallow 'charm' typical of right out of college!

Ruksaar was great - I don't recall enough to compare from DK Nur, but I ditto your word on hos smoothly she's pulling her end. There's grey, but the grey is already leveled with history that is beginning to show hints.

Vishal was - oh I dunno, a jumbled mess of many playboy doctors we've seen on TV. Let's not name. 😆

Overall better than yesterday courtesy MB, and Ruksar. Kritika was cute - but the OTT needs to be cut. Really. This is not another teen show on her list. And I want to blame the writers more than her, because dialogues like that whatnot topping cheese stuff just... threaten to cancel out the subtle excellence MB projected.

It was an all right episode.

But liked Kritz and MB both 😊
Like the convo between nidhi and her friend about her death

but the scrubbing and hygiene in the hospital was rubbish 😛
there was to much over use of the phrase 'saiyaan' like every minute or so
Ermm...the fight on the road and stuff regarding the chips and buns was not funni 😕


Oh, that Rukhsar dude ! Nicked my name 😛
She was pretty good, her grey shade

I agree MB was good today.He got lot of scenes and he made excellent use of them.loved him.

Nidhi's reactions were a bit OTT...especially the hot buns/extra cheese/burger bit that she was blabbing about that I didn't really find funny exactly.

Anji's dad continues to be a carbon copy of the original...

And Ranganath enters today...Has Vishal gained weight??

Vishal has put on weight and it is showing more on his face especially in the close up shots.but it's ok I have been a fan of his since the Hip Hip Hurray days.I love his acting.and here too he did not disappoint.so is his character an important part of the story?I do hope it is cause we will get to see more of him.

Mallika was the surprise package...given what I've seen of Sheena in the original, I think Ruksar was fantastic...I liked her much more than the original Sheena from DK...she lent more softness to her character...didn't look as harsh...I especially liked the bit near the air drying machine when Ashutosh withdraws his hands when she brings hers forward.

Rukhsar was indeed good and that scene with Mohnish was very well done.

The rest of Nidhi's antics in the epi were quite OTT...first with the way she was trying to "hide" in the briefing and then later on showing up at Ashutosh's office with the mask still on😕😆...I liked MB in that scene again as well where he calmly told her how ridiculous she was looking and even the "You" reaction he had when she finally took off the mask was well done.

I do agree with OTT bit especially in the office scene.the burger bit I did not mind but that mask scene,not so good.maybe as the show progresses she will be shown evolving as her character matures.
Precap was good...Ashutosh asking her what the hell is wrong with her😆...I'm looking forward to seeing how their interactions progress.

chemistry looks to be good.let's see...

They do need to watch out for overusing the 'saiyaan' line every two seconds...don't make an overkill out of it. The bg music issues weren't too bad today.

yes please the song is good but if it is used all the time it will kill the scene.

Great post Nur and Best of Luck for your exams.
