Even though, KS is the pits right now...I have always manintained, that no screen couple come even close to Jai and Bani when it comes to pure chemistry! Everyone compares KAA to erstwhile KS, but let me tell you, even though, individually IQ and Pallavi are amazing, their on-screen chemistry is NOTHING compared to what RK and PD shared!
The intensity, emotion and passion that these two generated, by just one look, one touch, one brush...was enough to send me (and lots more) in a tizzy 😳 😳 😳 The C-scene was the peaking of their chemistry....and then we could see it in bits and spurts...one incredible scene being the Sangeet Ceremony, where Jai sings and Bani watches him!
Take any of the older scenes, even before J&B were married and you will know what I am talking about! There was a very ordinary scene when Jai is sitting in his Office, typing something on his Laptop and Bani comes to give him some files, knocks on the door and waits for his reply...Jai just looks up, one fleeting glance, and his eyes are back on his comp, while he says, 'Come In'......Even in this scene, the sheer chemistry between the lead pair was incredible!
What to talk about the scenes after the Marriage...I remember watching not only all the repeat episodes, but also the Video and then the marathon re-run on Sunday 😆
Even if we had to wait one whole week to see just one good scene between J&B, that was more than enough.....I seriously can't remember any other screen couple lighting the screen on fire like them! 😃
But now.....Frankly, all the actors look so bored and disinterested that chemistry toh door ki baat hai, the serial looks more like a Doordarshan Documentary 😡 Not only the chemistry, but the story-line, dialouges, Production values...everything is down the drain! Someone wrote that Maayi is doing this deliberately so that KAA can become more popular....Not too sold on this idea.....KAA and KS come in different time slots and Maayi would never spoil her popular and established serial for getting the other on one line....
But then you never know.....This might be the lull before the storm! They might be deliberately down-playing the story so that the after Leap thing looks even better than they have planned (Whatever they have planned!)
