Freedom!!!

1st September

Freedom from the addiction that was MJHT, especially Season Two!

Feel really bad for the actors, Mohit and Sanaya who carried Season two on their shoulders, with very good support from AB and from RoAsh ... after watching today's episode in fast forward, the SG scene left such a bad taste in my mouth, that I watched Meethi Churri again, which cheered me up no end, then I watched a few of the original S2 scenes ...

And I realised one thing. If the writers of S2 have changed, then there is no point hoping. Because the episodes of the original Season two were way, WAY above the crap that I watched ... or rather, didn't watch, today. If the writers were the same, and were just catering to the demands of a senseless return of an actor, then there might have been hope for improvement down the line. But if the entire writing and directing team has changed, then I hold out no hopes at all, because the sheer difference in treatment, in acting style and polish, in the depth of emotions displayed ... there is just no comparison. The MJHT of today, and in fact of the last two weeks, is amateurishly written and poorly acted ... screeching and screaming and making faces does NOT constitute good acting ... even Mohit and Sanaya seem to have lost all conviction in what they're doing, because their disinterest shows in their scenes. As for Rati, her overacting is getting worse and worse everyday, as is her character ... to downright bullying, domineering, and irritating, as well as retaining the senseless impulsive don't-think-before-i-talk-or-act nature that she always had. Never been so irritated with a character in my life as I have with her the last few episodes, whatever little I have watched of her. As for Mayank, AB too seems to have lost interest in his scenes, he is as bland and unimpressive as he always was ... his scenes with Gunjan in S2 had redeemed him for a while, but he's back to being himself - he's there and I can't comment because he makes no impression whatsoever.

So MJHT - goodbye. And Sajan ... I will remember their engagement as their happy ending, their Zindagi as their wedding night ... in reverse order, but that's fine because the whole lot seem to be doing time travel backwards anyway. And Look At Me and Meri Chashmish as signs of what could have been, if only ...
