I First want to post the positives of the Show before pointing out the negatives.
+

1. Chanchan's Family - You have got to love them be it the practical mom or the worried Dad,beloved Dadi and the ever loving siblings.I also like their chosen professions,Dog trainer,Tatoo maker,photographer,Painter and a teacher.
2.Himanshoo- He is the only character in the show who manages to be funny without going over the top in trying to do so.
3.Sanaya Irani and Supriya Pathak - I know that there is no need for me to mention this as it is a well established fact that they are great actors but somewhere the script is not doing them just inspite of trying a different take on the same old Concept.
4.Anuj and Sanaya's Jodi- Well it is really great and they look great together,not even for a moment did I find the need to compare it with her previous show's co-star as I very well know that they are two different shows belonging to two completely different Genres.
5. The fact that Chanchan opted for a Simple wedding (They could have put a lot more thought into this and executed in a better way though),the very first episode Where the Aaj ki Nari's stood up against Dowry and the girl was the one to break of the wedding.
6. The Thirty Challenge- I would really like to see how ChanChan is going handle this when she comes to know about it.
_

1.Uma Ben- I really don't like her character,I can put up with dominance and even being dogmatic about traditions but being absolutely devious is not tolerable at all.
2. I think Chanchan Should dress the same as before and the way she gains approval fom Babuji would be an intersting to see if at all the CV's are planning something like that.
3.Manthan and Ranjana but I guess we would need such characters for the show but it is kind cliched the Jealous bro and jealous Sis-In-Law...something similar is already being another show in the same time slot.
4.Manav shouldn't have been sent off so soon after the wedding.
5. The BG music show sucks big time and the screenplay is really bad.
6. BTW if Chanchan Quits her job as Dog trainer that would take away another thing that set this show apart.

1. Chanchan's Family - You have got to love them be it the practical mom or the worried Dad,beloved Dadi and the ever loving siblings.I also like their chosen professions,Dog trainer,Tatoo maker,photographer,Painter and a teacher.Love loving and supportive modern family!!!
2.Himanshoo- He is the only character in the show who manages to be funny without going over the top in trying to do so.Simple too and even the younger 2 bahus who are good within the framework of OTT characters
3.Sanaya Irani and Supriya Pathak - I know that there is no need for me to mention this as it is a well established fact that they are great actors but somewhere the script is not doing them just inspite of trying a different take on the same old Concept.Agree about Sanaya and Supriyaji but I'm liking the direction the show has now taken with the modern bahu.
4.Anuj and Sanaya's Jodi- Well it is really great and they look great together,not even for a moment did I find the need to compare it with her previous show's co-star as I very well know that they are two different shows belonging to two completely different Genres.Different genres and a different type of love but awesome in their own ways. I love the fact Manav calls CC Jaan
5. The fact that Chanchan opted for a Simple wedding (They could have put a lot more thought into this and executed in a better way though),the very first episode Where the Aaj ki Nari's stood up against Dowry and the girl was the one to break of the wedding. I think with this show the concept is actually very good but the execution hasn't been the best but with the new director things have been better at times.
6. The Thirty Challenge- I would really like to see how ChanChan is going handle this when she comes to know about it. The part of the show that I'm most excited about
_

1.Uma Ben- I really don't like her character,I can put up with dominance and even being dogmatic about traditions but being absolutely devious is not tolerable at all.I love her charcacter in that I find it fascinating. She's so self obsessed and egotistical (mmm, I wonder if the character was based on a certain ex ML😃). However her mindset amazes me and I wonder how far she is willing to go to achieve ehr goals. I love her intelligence and I think a character like this was what's needed opposite CC.Her deviosuness actually makes me smile rather than some pot breaking loud saasu maas who really irritate me.
2. I think Chanchan Should dress the same as before and the way she gains approval fom Babuji would be an intersting to see if at all the CV's are planning something like that. I agree and I'm hoping that eventually she will - I think it's expected that for a while she would do the whole newly wed bride look. Perhaps though once she starts working again (hopefully) she'll change her dress...both the clothes and the job will make fantastic story lines.
3.Manthan and Ranjana but I guess we would need such characters for the show but it is kind cliched the Jealous bro and jealous Sis-In-Law...something similar is already being another show in the same time slot.Every show has to have some cliched characters . Actually the jealous sister in law in the other show is the only character I enjoy watching in that show but she is plain devious whereas Ranjana is, so far, just immature. Manthan is devious because he's disatisfied with his life - I'm really looking forward to how CC manages to win him over.
4.Manav shouldn't have been sent off so soon after the wedding.Yeah that didn't make sense because how can a married man get blessings for his marriage without his bride? Having said that we still saw Anuj and those romantic scenes where they miss each othere were so good. Also I guess Anuj has prior committments and this was one way of dealing with them.
5. The BG music show sucks big time and the screenplay is really bad. BG music and screenplay suck a lot less than they did in the beginning and this confirms in my mind that Sony was wrong to rush the show before IPL - there wasn't any need for that. I think the various departments have improved though.
6. BTW if Chanchan Quits her job as Dog trainer that would take away another thing that set this show apart.Totally agree with this Chhan Chhan needs to keep her job and Manav needs to support her with this because CC needs to maintain her independence. My one big dissapointment with the script was when Purvi's computer class storyline was cut short and she was married off. Marriage was fine but her independence should have been more prominent.

I Guess overlooking few things and giving the show some more time to pick up wouldn't hurt as both the Saas and our Modern Bahu are under the same roof now. It was great reading ur ponit of view and I think I'll be needing some more time to Grown on Uma ben.

True, all of it. I too wondered whatever happened to being independent after marriage, and continuing work. And I miss those doggies. Poor puchpuch is also missing. And I'm not Hindu, but isn't Kuldevi Puja a couple-thing? And as for Umaben, she does turn my stomach a bit. she's so self-centred, and this whole divide-and-rule policy is so wrong. But in real life, there are many such manipulative people- not to this extent, on hopes, but then this is TV, they have to exaggerate. Background score- the lesser said the better. I actually like having Ranjana and Sanaja around. Esp Ranjana- she's so conflicted, one minute she's jealous of CC, the next minute she's happy to have her around, and even helps her pin her palla. I think that's an important thing they're showing- CC is nice to them, so she can;t help but like her. And Manthan is really entertaining yaar. Over done with the whole devious envy angle, but very entertaining to watch. Esp the way his face scrunches up when he smells something fishy.

Very good post.. Agree with all your points.
I just have few observations on 2/3 - points--

2. I think Chanchan Should dress the same as before and the way she gains approval fom Babuji would be an intersting to see if at all the CV's are planning something like that.

You are right. I didn't expect CC to imitate her DILs so easily. Good that she opted for a smarter option (ready made saree) but I thought she could have negotiated some comfort regarding this horrible pallu thing. But again I guess, its just her 1st day in the house. She is yet to get some time to think or plan something for herself and knowing her MIL very well and also given their past encounters, may be she is trying to make a place in the house first. And Umaben is too cunning, she is not allowing CC with any moment to think about these things.. she kept her busy from the moment she entered house.

3.Manthan and Ranjana but I guess we would need such characters for the show but it is kind cliched the Jealous bro and jealous Sis-In-Law...something similar is already being another show in the same time slot.

I think Manthan will have a big role as an instigator against CC and Manav. You always have this kind of people at every house. Ranjhana and Sanjhana are there for comedy purpose, i think.

4.Manav shouldn't have been sent off so soon after the wedding.

Thats part of Umaben's plan. Making CC weak and helpless by taking away her biggest support.

5. The BG music show sucks big time and the screenplay is really bad.

Really bad. They should spend some money to get a better composer .. and also keep a stock of more than one to use them in different situations.

6. BTW if Chanchan Quits her job as Dog trainer that would take away another thing that set this show apart.

The best point you have raised. CC should not quit her job because of this marriage. But its too early to say that she has already left that job. Lets see what happens next.
