Disappointing!

27 november

BB court - am getting very tired of Samrat Adhiraj standoffs - thank god this one was short and faded into Samrat's memories.

Nupur and Mayank nautanki - usually is amusing and entertaining, today it was neither. Mayank's acting was bad - he was completely unconvincing as an old man. And for once Nupur wasn't that great - the expressions were somehow over the top. The only part that was nice and looked natural was her smile when she ran to hug Mayank.

BB court with SG - again touching, he is good in emotional scenes and getting better. Gunjan - soft, calm, firm support - dialogues could have been better, (please stop saying - tum chinta mat karo!) but loved the way Samrat leaned against her - again cut short to switch to nautanki Nupur. I guess they needed the time after three weeks apart, but it could have been done at the cost of a very boring AS scene, rather than the SG scene.

AS scene - very boring and getting more boring by the day as their length increases. Suhani tries to put down Adhiraj then softens - how can you fall for a guy like that in three days, or a week or however much it's been?

Song - miniscule Sajan part, they had no scope to make any impact - yet they still did. AS - boring again - why couldn't SG had had more of their part if the sulking MN fans had to be appeased? MN - nice, far better than their ROFL first date. At least they had some relevant stuff going on, coffe, paneer pakodas, tv - earth shattering emotional connection, but that is what they have in their relationship so that's what's relevant for them. Dunno where Mayank organised the dream house at a moment's notice, but that's hardly the most unbelievable thing that's happened in MJHT (case in point - fountains and multi-purpose date room in Excel :)

Anyway, I have no need to run down anybody else just to prove that SG are great ... there is really nothing in the other stories that I want for SG. The other two couples may be great actors ... or not (!) but SG are the only ones who touch my heart.

All in all, disappointing after the build up. If MN have been earmarked for nautanki and passion and no emotional moments, then SG seem to have been earmarked for emotion but no passionate moments at all, and that is getting equally annoying. Though thank god the kiss part wasn't stressed at all. Well, SG were hardly there in the song to stress on anything.

promo - Nupur's boyfriend. Now we have the reason the AS track was proceeding at breakneck speed - to establish A as S's bf before Mayank got back. Can we slow down now? At least decrease the screen space being given to this very boring couple?

addendum: Jaskaran to play Hanuman for Nupur - that just confirms it... MN are nautanki jodi and SG are emotional jodi! Rather amusing - means we'll get some fun moments while the emotional family track is on! Good balance, creatives, just minimise AS, that's all!
