Hello people! This is supposed to be the very first DOTW in the forum and shay, I don't think I have anything very much concrete to discuss.
BTW, my name is Kankshita and though I am known as Kanky, I am fondly addressed with a number of abbreviations. And now that we're done with my introduction ' lets quickly get to the discussion -----------
It's been two weeks that the show has started and omitting all super-bad things, I would say that the show is one fine thing being presented with a bunch of great actors. Needless to say, Piya Wal brings life to the show and she's the highlight of the show too. Apart from her, Panchi, Danish, Kabir and Tee are doing justice with their roles. And as for the leads ' they're a little dissatisfying to me, though ' I am intrigued by the story as much as everybody in here is. Trust me! Kekta has put in efforts and that shows, she's trying to deviate the show from every stereotype and all the comparisons with Twilight that have were set, much before the show was aired.
It isn't revealed yet if the Raichands' are vampires or some other species of supernatural beings, though the comparison and the tag of being "copied" haven't yet taken the backseat. So tell me, how much do you think the show is like Twilight and how much effort according to you is being made to bring about a difference?
Talking of the girls in the show ' Piyashree Jaiswal, an orphan comes across as a very level-head headed and optimistic girl. Though, these traits mentioned are possessed by every other K-soap leading lady, she is different ' for she doesn't cry all the time, she's so much more confident and youthful and the best part ' she dint wish to distant herself from Misha and Panchi after making out they are her step-sisters. She's one non-melodramatic leading lady and since she's been portrayed really well by Sukeerti ' I am sure everybody must like her. Misha like I said is the highlight of the show. Bratty and tomboyish, Misha inspires us all to shed our inhibitions and not care, one reckless lass she is and her character is so real and amiable that everybody has grown fond of her. The actress who plays Panchi plays her part really well too; she's opinionated, sweet and truly lovable. And as for Tee ' she definitely is dumb. Like most "bimbos" around, she's typically blonde and has got an ultimate gold-digger attitude.
And now the guys ' The pleasant and charming Kabir is one totally drool-worthy fellow, even though he's not that lucky with looks, honestly. The actor acts really well and that in itself is working wonders. However the "cold" hottie Abhay fails to click with me, he's too curt. The actor evidently is working hard though the character somehow fails to establish a connect and all Vivian fans will have to wait to witness some convincing piece of acting from him, and also the softer side of the character.
The clichd factor of the show has shot up like anything, in the recent few episodes. Starting from Pia's being Dobrial's daughter to Abhay's mother (Tam Ma'am doesn't look his mother, aah đ) telling Abhay that he's made all wrong moves, to her making out that Pia's face has got something really deep to do with Abhay's past. All in all ' this is extremely stale.
And now the fresh factor ' "Wikipedia pee lee", "Pastry aunty" and uploading pictures of real melodramatic fights on youtube are definitely refreshing, a break from all Star One leading ladies whose characters are 24x7 on the verge of being butchered. And the light-hearted moments that the Dehradun elite college-goers share are absolute treats to watch. The set up seems real, the bonds that the sisters share seem real and so does the effort Kabir is being putting in since day one to convince Pia of his feelings for her. Absolutely new and fresh ' totally jhakkas, if I may say that. Hehe! đ
And now am gonna conclude with some questions for you guys to answer and discuss about this week:
Whom do you relate the most with - Pia, Misha, Panchi or Tee?
Who according to you stole the show ' Abhay or Kabir?
AND now, the most important question . . . . . .
How clichd or refreshing does the show, the caste and the characters seem to you and do you still have hopes with the show ' after all the disappointment that you may have faced due to the suateli behen angle, gross presentation of vampires (total insult) and lastly, Abhay's character?
HAPPY DISCUSSING,
Kankshita
