Phew! Finally the much awaited premiere, to be honest the first episode definitely lived upto my expectations. It showcased what the whole show is about and gave away many different possible stories that will be touched upon in the near future.

Beginning with the grand entry of the devil couple, Saraswatichandra's father and step mother who are all for money than family. Then came Saras' entry though Saraswatichandra's entry was quite job well done, the pond part made it seem out of place considering they were shown living in Dubai but other than that the whole first part of the episode set in dubai was a nice overview of who they are and what roles will they be playing.

Then comes Kumudsundari's family, a typical gujarati family. Love the use of language here and there showing the essence of the family. Again the introduction was to the point, loved how the ting of playfulness was used with also the serious talks about Kumud's marriage. Again, Kumud's entry could have been a little better, finding a small bead in the pool just seemed something impossible other than that loved the intro.

Coming to the main leads, Saraswatichandra and Kumud have different characteristics yet same simplicity factor in them. Saras who is calm, postured, principled, an ideal son is opposite of the bubbly, independent, going to do what I feel is right kinda girl who holds her father values and respect to uttermost importance. Love the different layers these characters come with and definitely looking forward to seeing more. There is so much about Kumud's character one can relate to which just makes the character so lovable. Just hoping these characters are kept realistic as possible and to their true self.

Though a bit fast pace I loved every bit of the episode. Only the first one and we are already talking about the marriage of leads, the day we get to see them in one screen isn't far away. Very Intrigued by the first half an hour already, can't wait for more. I have gotta give it to SLB for the grand sets, they are beautifully structured especially the pool area of Kumud's house.

Episode 1 - 25.02.13

I am so overwhelmed after watching the episode that I'm finding it difficult to put my thoughts into words. It was so well written and even more well executed. I can't believe a television show in India has been made on such a grand scale! SLB, you've given me another reason to consider you my Guru. The camerawork, lighting, locations, set design... OUTSTANDING. Technically, it's surpassed any serial I've ever seen or known of on Indian TV before. Creatively too, it's exceeded my expectations. My expectations were sky high. I'm an SLB bhakt and expected the world from this and thank the Lord, I'm so impressed by the episode... not an ounce disappointed.

The characters seem so well sketched. Saraswatichandra, Sunny (who, I'm guessing, is 'Chandrakant' from the novel?), Guman, Kumud, Kusum, Kumud's father and other family members... they all seem so interesting.

Very special mention to Jennifer Winget as Kumud. She's my favourite and has been so for a long time now. I'm so excited to see what magic she creates as Kumud. Her character entry was BEAUTIFUL... the pond/peal scene... wow. She looked stunning and her dialogue delivery made my heart skip ^^ She's such a beauty and such a fab actor! The character seems so cute too and I love how she isn't just a pretty-face but an intelligent girl too.

I'd love to go into more detail because there was just SO MUCH to discuss but I'm short of time and also my thoughts are all over the place, credit my current level of excitement.

SUPER EXCITED TO EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF THIS SHOW :-)

First episode, was awesome...

Mr. Sanjay L Bhansali did work wonder, everything was well set. Location is beautiful, Mansion is just breath taking.

SaraswatiChandra entry was worth waiting for..,Seems like he loves his mom dearly. Even love his dad, because he did what his dad told him to, but yet there is some gap between them. It is noticeable.
He seem to be quite an handsome fellow, and every girl think also. But he notice non.😆
The step mom, well like every step mom is. Monica Bedi is awesome as the step mom. Eveyrthing about her perfect.
Kumud, well there isn't much to say, she is perfect. Very simple, beautiful, awaits her dream prince. I love her character...
On whole, I just love the episode with the modern touch added.
I think it was a show worth waiting for.

A good start to the show and the story is interesting too. Glad the story has begun rather than taking a couple of episodes to just introduce everyone. Saras scene where he was talking to his mothers portrait, i found that touching and emotional and we can tell he was very close to his mum. Jennifer was looking gorgeous.
Sets are lavish but the garden (i know its in a studio) didnt look real. Could've made it look more authentic since a lot of money was spent.

Okay, I won't deny that I enjoyed it, but I was wondering how long they plan to air this show? The episode was definitely fast-paced, and there are a lot of interesting elements. I'm running short on time, so I'll make this as concise as possible.

Foreshadowing - Kusum said it's a yes from her side. This dialogue was really well thought out, because it foreshadows that Kusum is the one who will get married to Saraswatichandra.

Parallels - Both of them were fully visible to us for the first time in water, one of the major elements. Will water play an important role in this show?

What I loved - The music! It was beautiful. I'm loving the background music for the show. The acting, HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO GAUTAM, JENNY, CHETAN AND MONICA! They did a terrific job. I knew they were great actors, but today they left me more in awe of their talent. Actually, it's the first time I saw Monica act, and her acting skills are splendid!

What I didn't like
- Well, first of all, it's not very realistic to dream about the eyes of your lover. I guess they included it for story's sake, but one thing that's for sure is this show won't be very realistic, so I won't set my hopes on that. Another thing is characterization. It might be too early to tell, but the characters of Kumud and Saraswati, especially Kumud seems like a Mary Stu at this point. Let's see if they'll be given flaws later on.

Apart from that, well done Sanjay, Jennifer, Gautam, Chetan, and Monica! Great work!
