Hi guys!!!!!!!!!!
So I have actually watched all the episodes and I have to say the chemistry is sooo "Come Fall In Love" kind-off. Definitely got the pairing right have to say it is the USP of the show so far.

But...the show does not remind me of the movie Pardes and I don't know why but it reminds me of Aa ab Laut Chale movie.

I feel the only similarity between the show and the movie Pardes is the happy-go-lucky characterisation of the "door ka rishtedar" Raghav and the way he is taken for granted in the so called foster family.

Coming to Arjun Bijlani I have to say I can't imagine anyone else play Raghav. So yeah that is how much I'm liking/loving it .

Drashti...Ohk I've to say this I loved her in Madhubala and Geet but I didn't like her in ETRETR idk why... But here in this she looks gorgeous. I know this look is not new and all but still. The character Naina needs to be developed a bit more since sometimes comes across as confused, no?

But I can in no way connect Naina to Ganga. Be it the familial backgrounds, the unbothered brother in foreign lands etc. its almost like Ash of Aa ab laut chale.

The following are the characters that bear some resemblance to the show characters:
1. Raghav(Shah Rukh's character)
2. Dadi(Some what like Amrish Puri)
3. Laksh(sorry idk the actor name , but Amrish Puri's son in the film).

Ohk then, till next time.

XOXOXO,
Anya

Our BW has so many movies that will remind us with one or the other characters always...so, yes, there could be few similarities with AALC

I think naina will become strong eventually!! She's bound to become strong. After suffering the heartbreak n her brother n bhabi's evil intentions will break her initially but eventually she will become strong bcoz of these experiences. The story is a mixture of Pardes n manju kapoor's novel The immigrant.So, we dont know, anything can happen at any point of time😛.

actually the word pardes makes everyone feel that its inspired with the film pardes...but for me...it looks different and nothing related to pardes except for raghav and his relationship with the foster family and some extend his friendship with naina..other than that there is no other similiarity...but on 2nd thoughts...this is just the beginning stages...the actual story might unfold later on...the actual story will start when veer-naina meets and raghav becomes the matchmaker
regarding AALC...its just the scenario not the entire concept...rajiv is worst as a son and brother...i have never read the novel thus not sure abt the story in the novel

Yeah i guess we do end up comparing because of the similar names and also media reports that kept saying it is similar.
I too think it's different only time will tell the actual story I suppose 😃
Me too clueless about the novel part

Actually yes even I too thought the same...
When naina was sitting alone in airport and waiting for her brother...
Just like ash in aa ab laut chale...
And then arjun just like akshay coming for her rescue...

Her evil brother and sister in law...same like movie...
And she being forced to work for returning to india...again same...

Rest all is different...
Mixture of pardes and aa ab laut chale..😆😆😆

Can't comment much on Aa Ab Laut Chale or the novel but I find the show has similar elements from a lot of sources.
Again pretty much every story that needed to be told has been told before. It's the execution that will matter.
