I'm going to be honest - I was disappointed with the first episode (29th Oct). I prefer introduction episodes to be eventful and I felt this one was a little dull and slow-paced. The only highlight of the introductory episode, I felt, was the Delhi Heights song, which I love.
However, the second episode (30th Oct) was impressive. The pace was crisp, writing seemed skilled and of course, there was enough KSG to satisfy the KSG fan in me! It finally feels real: he has returned!There was a bit of everything in the second episode. I wouldn't say it was a perfect episode but it was promising; I now see a lot of potential with the show. Should the writers make the most of what they have, the show can turn out to be pretty awesome and possibly memorable .First of all... the negatives: I wont take any names, to avoid upsetting anyone's sentiments here, but I feel some of the actors on the show need to sharpen up their acting skills if they want to continue working on a daily show. It is difficult, which is why they need to up their efforts even more. As part of the audience, it's also difficult to watch people who don't seem to be taking care of themselves and what/how they're performing. So I hope those things are worked on, by the production house, ASAP. Also, I feel the scenes with character artistes are not being given enough attention and are thus appearing quite dull in the overall frame of things. I find myself just waiting for the leads to appear and could easily skip the other scenes. The writer could do with paying more attention there, on how to make the show work as a whole, with each character developing and coming across as interesting, regardless to their screentime/importance to the story.Now for the highlights: How incredible was it to see KSG act again? I'm proud of him for choosing a role so different to his earlier one. It was a risk to take but a sensible one, as recreating the earlier role was near impossible and would've been the easy (most likely also unsuccessful) route to take. Now, he'll get to prove himself more as an actor; he has a challenge on his hands but yesterday's episode proved he's all set to do a brilliant job.Stand out moments from the second episode would include the sequence in the dargah, where the boys see Zoya for the first time (this was directed and performed really well), and the later scene between Zoya and Asad. The Zoya-Asad scene is where I really noticed how much potential this show has. The points bought up in their little argument were interesting and quite thought-provoking too; it gave the sense that the show has potential not only to entertain but also educate, which is a rarity on Indian television.Hoping for the best from the show! Fingers crossed.

I agree with a lot of things you said. The first episode is supposed to only concentrate on the leads, introducing the other characters gets a little confusing to handle, since this being a family based drama there are various characters and various relations to understand. But then again to show what they revealed yesterday they definitely needed to get it to that point.
But yeah in the first episode the scenes with the other characters failed to leave a mark, even though I am glad at the choice of actors because I've seen a lot of them perform before and are pretty good for their roles.
And agreeing to the potential in the show, not only because of the story they have planned, but also the kind of message they are trying to give out but touching upon sensitive issues.
