Perfect presentation of feelings on first crush

I agree that the presentation of those feelings is quite sweetly and realistically done overall for that era, but I feel they get a little too indulgent about the dreamy song sequences sometimes...not every episode needs a random 90s song sequence with Naina mooning over Sameer...

The show has a languid pace in general which is sweet when they make 90s references but when they start to fill up some epis just with the song sequences of Naina mooning after him, it gets a bit repetitive...for me atleast.

Yesterday's epi was good though...the Mahabharat reference and how life just stopped in those days for it...haha...and Naina being happy just to drink from the same water tap as him...sneakily stealing his picture...these things atleast move the story a bit forward more than the song sequences.

They have potential but I do feel they should tighten up the scripting a bit or there is danger of getting a little too languid...I'm all for wallowing in nostalgia...it's a human tendency but even then it starts to get a bit much after a point if all you show is the same bit of Naina mooning after him every day...

Have to mention though that the family nok-jhonk is so on point and refreshingly done compared to the usual high voltage drama families...Chachi and Taiji ke little antics of trying to best each other...haha

Take your point totally. The only explanation I have is that I remember dancing on Teri deewani in my head, when I first crushed on someone too😆😆😆 its ridiculous and silly now that I think of it..and my husband would be totally😲 if I told him about😆😆😆 LOL and I can understand that but surely you weren't dancing to some soundtrack in your head every waking moment...and even if you were, there's a difference b/w experiencing something yourself and then watching it play out onscreen...there's a reason no show shows EVERY 24 hours of a person's life cuz that would be pretty boring for an audience to sit and watch...

I get that they want to show a dreamy eyed Naina but the constant barrage of songs was getting a bit much for me...now they seem to have reduced it a bit mercifully since Naina has experienced "heartbreak"😆

I think finally the story is turning tide with Naina Sameer actually pairing up for study and stuff :p

TBH, I am not really big on chemistry or couply stuff anymore..dunno, maybe just got over shipping onscreen couples etc..so yeah there are times when I wish for more family oriented scenes than couply stuff too😆just happy about the overall presentation of the show..and hope they maintain the sanctity of it.

Ohh absolutely I love the family nok-jhok as much and the bonding of two sisters..cute cute!

LOL and just to clarify, I'm not watching this show for any chemistry either😆...I don't find this to be in that zone...the show works for it's sweet nostalgia and innocence...an unassuming quality to the experiences of the kids...otherwise the young actors are pretty average too.

The older cast is more seasoned and pull off the irreverent stuff nicely...but going by the usual history of TRPs and Sony, if they get too languid in their pace, it may be hard to sustain ratings...BBKD was way better paced than this and that never got much ratings sadly.

Anyways yeah, the story does seem to have taken a turn with a Naina put off by Sameer and Sameer himself finally trying to work towards a goal rather than just whiling away his time...let's see if they can find some momentum with this beyond just the mooning that Naina is busy doing all the time😆
