The D day has come and the leap is here and the most dreaded end is behind us. For one last time I longingly watched the montage that brought back reminascences of once loved show and the characters.
It is too early to judge the leap but for me it looked like a frog and I am hoping like in a fairly tale, this frog turns in to a prince one day, my hopes were shattered once by this PH but I am willing to give one more chance for my love for the first few months of QH that even today gives me goosebumps and makes me go all nostalgic.
I felt no connection to any of the characters yet, opening was too predictable to my taste, Dilshad running away with Haya and Sanam believing Seher died in the fire, not keeping any contacts with Bhopal to protect her grand children identity is too cliched.
I am disappointed with the nude guy's looks, he seems to be a good actor but not at all yummy looking, he looked more grey and aged to me with porous skin, vilanish lips than a supposedly Casanova. I liked the other chap though, he is such a sweetie pie. Haya is decent looking.
Coming to Sanam, this is a great opportunity for Surbhi to showcase her talent by making viewers believe that the Surbhi we are seeing on screen is Samam not Zoya but I am disappointed a bit as her mannerisms, dialogue delivery are so very similar to Zoya. I get it that Sanam is Zoya's daughter but just making changes to appearance alone don't cut it, even some mannerisms should be unique to the character Sanam. No daughter would be 100% replica of mother in features and mannerisms, features we can discount as the same actresd was retained to do daughter's role but attention to mannerisms is very essential to bring out Sanam as her own than just as an extension to Zoya. Surbhi should take this opportunity to show her verstality and chamilian traits as an actress, she is capable but need some grooming from her director and mentors. Hrithik in Kaho na pyar hain had same situation and he nailed it, though pre and post characters were played by same actor, for a viewer it was effortlessly presented as two different individuals and that's what I was expecting from QH folks with Sanam character. Zoya character over shadowing Sanam will multiply with Seher's entry if QH team don't quickly work on shaping distict mannerisms for each character.
Who is the lady the sweetie pie referring to? Billi? Razia? Or one more new entry? Any guesses?
