Hey Kanky, what a wonderful ananylsis you have here.
Okay to answer your question in simple terms, i will say the magic is just not there for me? I don't know what it is...the editing, the portrayal...its weird i can't explain it...but everytime i watch the show i feel as if i'm watching seperate clips..they don't seem connected? Weird na? when the scenes completely correspond to the previous one?.
Though there is one thing i love alot is how they showcase Piya and Ahbay scenes. They are so perfect. Ahbay's cold intense stares match perfectly with Piya's innocense. They both makes this dark love story even darker...so to say.đ
Sukriti & Vivan are doing a fantastic job with their roles, Atleast ekta did something right in choosing the perfect people to play piya and ahbay. They both give 100% to their scenes and it shows when i watch them onscreen.
Now coming back to the story, Yes its cliche...the everyday bad guy attracts a young innocent girl who already has the hunk of the college drowned in her. So yes it is the everyday story...and its totally not fresh but the actors make it worthwhile ....
To tell you the truth when i found out Ekta was making this show i though it would be the typical saas bahu crap...engulfed into a dark love story where a boy has a dark past or something but i was suprised seeing the first episode....
So for now, the show is okay though i expect alot of improvement in the coming days with the basic plot and the acting...and even the editing sorry to say.
I only said what i felt, please take no offence :)
