My favourite is the 'fuse scene' ...not bcoz of the romance of the moment alone but also for the subtle way the creatives conveyed how well BBP understood pooja. That he could easily tell the moment she started losing her heart to him..much before she herself realised it. And I feel the leads have lost their chemistry post Mauritius... But thats my feeling. I know most of you feel otherwise.

most of people here like those birja scenes which were directed by the first director of skbm.

The problem that I can see is not that the leads have lost the chemistry (they still come across as fabulous characters enacted by extremely talented artists) but that the camera angles, lighting, editing and soft but intense dialogues that made us "lattoo" are now rare and infrequent. Also the focus shifted to Rangoli and Bungoli without spending nearly enough time on Brij-Puja interactions or the evolution of that relationship...I think that when the CVs discovered that "Brija" was happening to the audience, they had a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on with directors and producers changing. The plot and story are still great but the negative arcs are too prolonged. Also there is a total absence of light relief (Mrityun, Shukla and Giridhar appear with great one liners but almost as if they are afterthoughts).

Did you realise...Lakshmi is getting married in Mauritius...umm...SKBM ka Mauritius...that is Renaissance Powai. They showed us Powai lake all the time wanting us to believe that's Indian Ocean...🤣

They cud have easily used any nice coastal location close to mumbai...but then that's the difference b/w the best and the ok kinds. I've kind of lost my interest in the show. I'm only sticking bcoz...now I'm just stuck and have to get the whodunit thing resolved...no more crazy about the show as I used to be...😒

I like the story, but loathe the technical aspects. LOL Powai lake hunh?
This being one of the most critical scenes of the show, they could have definitely done a better job!! Why even bother showing the outdoors!! Focus on the drama and the story telling, forget these larger than life aspirations. I even found that Shivpuri NP such a let down!! Cvs, dont feed your audience uneccessary stories! Stick to telling a good story and get a good research and scouting team - it is totally worth it. But I dont want to get hypercritical - this is the only serial I bother to follow...so Sabaash CVs when you get it right!

I agree with many of you here...the magic is missing these days but mainly cause of Rahul's acting and the chameleon in Brij who keeps changing colors that has me hooked simply because I want to know the real mystery behind Pooja's shooting...how I miss the Pachmarhi days and the mystery about Brij Pooja relationship...but then as they say familiarity breeds contempt...just waiting for the moment they would take the final plunge and then the whole magic is lost...hmm..I am sounding confused isn't it...but then the whole show is and thats what I love about this show...but bringing Rangoli and her nautanki seriously was the worst thing to happen to the show...

Initially, when Rangoli came in, I was excited - the flavor of the story was enhanced but when they started overdosing us with the character's shrill screeching and when BRIJA started appearing and disappearing inexplicably like the Cheshire cat, it had me annoyed.
But I too am hooked to the mystery, so till I have the time I will be hanging on as a loyal viewer till they resolve the mystery. Also the romantic in me wants to know how BBP/Puja solve their situation. I am also glad that I get to watch KR and RS. KR has a bright career ahead of her.

The way they've developed BBPs character it is obvious lots of effort has gone into creating it. Had they done half as much of effort in developing the negative characters as well...it would have been a treat to watch. They had built G very well...but lost the thread somewhere. Though both daddaji and M are good they could be better but Rangoli...it's like they've lifted a cliched character from every other Indian soap..what I liked about the show initially was the overall natural look of the show, from the outdoors, the sets, the attires and of course the grt acting. Now I feel all of those things are missing. I like the way they are building Arti's character...stronger everyday. So the second lead is emerging from her earlier supporting role.

Oh yes and Kamna is emoting very well. She's a theatre artist and has played lead in nadira babbar's play.
