TV Shows I'm Watching

Still watching

Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke ... the girl has improved slightly, though not too much ... the story is meandering towards the crux now, but I hope they don't make Ishwari too grey. She is becoming too obsessed with her son and the thought of 'losing' him to a new girl ... it's as though she never thought he would ever get married and have a life of his own away from her. Supriya P is a wonderful  actress, I hope she is able to keep Ishwari realistic, and not make her into a typical possessive wicked MIL. Having said that, many MILs are very possessive about their sons, and expect to remain number one in their lives even after their wives come in, so this is not so far from reality.
I like the contrast they are showing in Neha and Ranveer's life, where Neha is trying her best to adjust, and Ranveer and his family appreciate her efforts, and make their own efforts in return. So Neha and Ranveer are getting ready to shift to a small flat of their own, close to his family's house, but enough to give them some privacy, which they lack in Ranveer's family home. And Ranveer's mother and bhabhi are all encouragement for the move.

Bade Bhaiya Ki Dulhaniya ... just started watching this, and I am liking it a lot. For one thing, both the ML and FL are good ... I thought from the promos that the FL would be an airy fairy silly girl, but she makes her own sense out of things, she may be non-academic, but she is not unintelligent, at least, not as of now. And the actress is good at the light hearted stuff, she is bindaas and chirpy, but not annoyingly so. Priyanshu, the ML, is a good actor, and is doing well. the family are all good, special mention to the handicapped Rohan - the actor is doing an excellent job, and the writing is brilliant. Will have to wait and see if the FL can emote well in more serious heavy duty scenes and romance ... she is carrying out the light stuff well.

Ek Duje Ke Vaaste, Ishqbaaz ... not really following too much. IB is too much a carbon copy of IPK,  with no charisma or chemistry between the leads at all ...Nakul is a good actor, but is struggling with the regular Gul angry young man character, Anika is unremarkable. Omkara, the actor and character both are decent, but haven't followed lately to see what's happening with him.

Waiting for more news on Sanaya's new show ... in the meantime, DABH is finally going off air and the new show replacing it is Naamkaran, with Viraf Patel in the lead ... it sounds interesting, as it's based on Zakhm, and on Mahesh Bhatt's life,which was the story of Zakhm. Looking forward to that one.
