Take 1: Inaugurating the Munch.. [DT note Pg. 12]

Slogan nahi J, that was the moral of the episode!!😊

Change of pace in episode 2 accelerating on the drama quotient. Sanaya effortlessly slipped into into her serious self in the second half of the episode.

A big Ctrl+ Alt+ Del on my UmaBen portrayal SKD. I know it was watered down yesterday but today it is treading the other way, bordering villainous . Munch's first rendezvous quite childish 😕. I am more than aware that it is impractical to expect all soapland's first encounters to be SRJ moments,  but I really wish they had worked on a better scene for these two to meet.

I like the lady who portrays Chhan's mom. She does the laid back, today's mom role quite well.

Ha ha ha ha...was not going to watch it coz had heard major saas bahu fest was on...but after ur super hilarious take...just have to watch it to share my amused thoughts as well...once I reach home:)

Wonderful post Jamba 👏

Well we are onto the second episode and now few things are clear

a. This show is going to be more and more a saas-bahu show with the takkar between YaYa going to be the only premise on which the show will hold on.

b. Advertisements should always be taken with a pinch of salt. Like they say until and unless the wrapper is open you don't know what flavor of chocolate you end up with - just hoping this show ain't going to be a heavy duty saas bahu one. Was hoping for a Khoobsurat remake but now that is out of the window. Damnit how did they tell that it was a Khoobsurat remake when it is not.

c. Given up on the male lead - unless and until he dramatically puts open some hidden acting talents that he has up his sleeve - Bitiya is going to MUNCH up bitwa in no time.

So coming to episode, I didn't like the pee jokes - come on how old are they, 5yrs ? Yesterday there were signs that male lead is nada/zilch and a zero and today he proved it when he talked. Don't have high hopes on this guy to drag in my interest. And MIL is borderline vampish - she is arrogant and is going to have a royal time roasting pooch-pooch and chanchan when both make their grand entry. And wait a second - did I hear that the MIL got the son to the marriage so that he could get some rishta - What is he ? A toy that can be displayed for people's admiration  and this guy comes without any qualms ? What has the world come to. When I was growing up most of my friends (about 5-6) got married when someone spotted them in their relatives marriage and got it settled between the parties and believe me this was the reason most of my friends parents used to force my friends to accompany them their relatives marriage.The sex ratio for boys and girls seem to be more pathetic than the reports that are out if the wheel has turned so fast and boys are the ones who are in that spot.

And now we have the dowry evil being shown in the show - But this is 2 episode old. What's the hurry ? It is as if the makers want Munch to be settled down within a month and have the YaYa conflict out by end of 2nd month. Couldn't they linger on some good things for like at least this week. And hopefully since the dowry issue is out - I hope the makers take a stand against it and don't reduce it to being a mockery of everything.

Coming to the acting part only Sanaya/Chanchan's mom/Supriya are doing okay. Savvy Chan's mom was much better in Saas bina sasural where she played a mom who is sensible but is very hen like when it comes to her daughter but here too she is doing good. I think Chan's friends are all cameo's - I don't see anyone being in the serial after 1-2 weeks of this show. None of them can act and that is what I said when the casting for the friends was not done correct.

And yesterday this takes the cake - I was watching the show and my husband knows my addiction to Lord Voldermort of the shows(I still watch the dubbed serial in telugu so the addiction is still there) and he was sitting with me. He recognized Sanaya as the one I follow - got to give him points for that but the moment the male lead came in and the conversation started, my husband had an serious 'What The' moment and he asked me - What has come to for your favorite to come down and act with this guy. I thought she was a very successful star due to her previous show and now she is paired with this guy? Now I was at complete loss to what I should say. I said the channel is different, the show is different but hubby was not impressed so come IPL - I will have a hard time in getting the remote back from him for watching this show. I know my husband thinks that it is poetic justice as I never let him watch any of his favorites when the previous show was on air and now he is going to pay me back in the same coin. Oh well - by the way this is going I don't think, that should be a problem. Let's see front front bhat bhat happens.

- Supriya vs. Sanaya in action! 👍🏼 ...Sharbet vs. Susu 🤢 (was that susu nonsense necessary????) Edited by -Vee05- - 11 years ago

I thought that today's episode was much better than yesterday...but one thing confuses me .. the show looks typical Saas-bahu types with a twist that the bahu is modern girl with her own opinions...nowhere it looks like a light hearted show as advertised 😕...or am I missing something ? ..anyways I am watching this show just for Sanaya.

@sharmila:- The show is an *saas-bahu* show but the writing was in fine print which we missed out in reading. We all read it as a light hearted show when it reality the fine print seems to indicate it as something very different.

Awesome Take 1 Ms. J 😊; you are a rock star!

The episode was a tad better than yesterday in terms of execution and flow and much to my surprise i think the ML is fine in the role of a carefree guy; the mis-match is with the jodi. He needs to up his act and fast if he wants to be looked at while sharing screen space with Sanaya. Plus why is everyone calling him a newbie? He has done a few movies before right so acting is not new to him..

Yesterday i was a little disappointed with Sanaya's entry shot; today the first meeting was a complete let down. What was with the whole susu discussion that went on n on😕😕. I did not find it funny at all and it was stretched too much and looked like a forced attempt at humor 👎🏼.
Sanaya was great as she slid easily between the various shades of her character as the episode progressed. Her make up was better today too n she looked lovely⭐️.

The whole jumping into the social issues drama was a little rushed and Supriya looks more like a vamp who will enjoy torturing her bahu than just an orthodox lady. But for now YaYa face off seems like the most interesting thing coming up. I  think the time slot may not be too favorable for CC esp. since its direct competitor is the most popular show on TV in terms of TRP's has a very similar premise.
Aage aage dekhte hai hota hai kya!
