Chhanchhan is an interesting show!

Contrary to what people say, I'm actually quite interested in knowing where this is going. I know Chhanchhan may not be everyone's cup of tea as majority of the youth (the ones that make up most of Sanaya's fanbase) are sucker for love stories. The hot, sizzling romance, with the mills and boons type love story...? Chhanchhan is obviously different and it's a family drama. It has a balance of everything. Romance, drama, comedy.
I see the story becoming interesting. We know the 30 day track is coming up which is the main plot of the show. After Chhanchhan gets married, she goes to her sasural where Uma Ben has sworn to kick her out of the house within 30 days. Now the question is, whether she is actually successful in doing so or will Chhanchhan manage to win everyone over? They're creating a lot of suspense around this. We see Ranjhana bhabhi already spewing jealousy towards Chhanchhan who is "sabse laadli bahu" along with Maathan (is he her husband?). This guy gives out the bad vibes. I have a feeling these two will definitely turn against Chhanchhan when the time comes. Kamudi is the supportive one while Sanjhana is too dumb to really be anything. Interesting characterizations we have.
Maybe I'm in the minority here but I don't enjoy watching love stories all the time. A good show is one that has a balance of everything so that all groups of audiences can enjoy. This show has that. UB-CC appeal to the aunties while Manav-CC and their adorable chemistry appeals to us, the romance hungry viewers.
A few positive things about this show: The PH listens. We complained about the bad direction and editing; they replaced the director and a vast improvement can be seen. We complained about the unquestionably disastrous ML; they replaced him with an ACTOR. We wanted ChanMan scenes to be redone in flashback; we saw those yesterday. So they listen and are willing to improve wherever possible. Another is they have a very strong cast. The actors in this show are very good. Not one actor looks out of place. From the leads to the saas, the brothers and bhabhis, to even the dogs who can act so well! I'm very impressed with the cast. The PH have done an incredible job with the casting, even the supporting characters perform outstandingly.
One thing I would like to see: Anuj Sachdeva has left a very good impression on me. Previously I was begging for the male lead's role to be scrapped, now I'm asking for more screenspace. Anuj is a very good actor and definitely has a lot of potential. He performs impressively in intimate scenes, I'm sure he'll do well in intense ones too. Anuj needs more screenspace, something more than just romancing CC.
I hope to see Chhanchhan doing well on the TRP charts but like Sony, I'm not too worried. This show is buzzed about consistently in the media. It's picking up and you can tell. It has VERY stiff competition from DABH so it may be low in TRPs but if you look at it, overall Chhanchhan is a well balanced show with a very good cast. I can't wait to see this 30 days track! :)

Very well etched out post :))

Yeah I agree I am a sucker for love stories as Sanaya excels in emoting passionate and intense sequence along with her impeccable comic timing ! She has such petite, fragile built with angelic features and milky complexion to fit in any fairy tale romance to the T :)

But similar to you I am also looking forward to the 30 days scheming track by UB !! Makers are definitely improving in every aspect , even Sanaya's make up has been so flawless for last few days :)
I also agree that they should utilize Anuj's potential fully , he is a very good actor and deserves to have equal screen space with Supriya ji and Sanaya :)

Thank you! Thank you! for posting on onscreen drama. Liked your analysis. I too feel that the show is picking up, can't say about TRP, but it has potential to do well if the story is handled well.
They have a good cast in place, so now it is upto creatives to deliver good scenes and episodes.

A very good post. Even before the show started, some people were questioning Sanaya's decision saying that she should have done a love story and I said the same thing then. No one likes to watch the same thing again and again. And honestly, the majority of the love stories today are the mills and boons one. The angry guy and the bubbly girl. It's so boring so I completely agree with SI's decision to choose something different.
As far as Chhanchhan is concerned, I completely agree. The show may not be something extremely unique but they have done an excellent job with the casting. Every single actor in the show performs so well. And the PH are willing to improve wherever they can. I hope CC does well too, even I'm very interested in seeing the 30 day track.
Oh and Anuj needs more screen space ❤️

I wish they scrap this show into a love story in 30 days after UB plan like create a MU that will separate ChanMan it will be interesting to see Manav trying to win ChanChan back. IPK was a love story but it was balanced as well with Family drama, Comedy & Romance.

Once the chemistry is getting positive feedback I'm sure PH might consider it.

Well said !

Personally I don't care for TRPS...if i like a show i will watch it. I started watching for Sanaya and i know there were a lot of glitches when the show started. But the PH has tried to make improvements and it is showing in the last couple of weeks.

I completely agree with you on more screen space for Anuj and more Chanman scenes. I want them to give more depth to Chanman relationship and show it maturing. Now they have 2 good actors with good chemistry so that will be really interesting to watch.

The premise of the show should still remain a family drama. Completely agree on the ensemble cast...every actor just fits in their role and is doing good. I also don't want the Sarabhais to be sidelined.

Things are looking up for the show now and hopefully it will keep on doing better.
