Nothing much on TV these days now that Nach Baliye is also over and done with.
Am watching Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke off and on ... the FL is still so bad! But the nice thing is that Ishwari's character is back to what Supriya P does best - a sweet, loving, loveable mother and saas. What I presume is the last leg of the story - the coming back of the three daughters to the fold - has started. Actually there is one more, bigger story to be told ... how Mami, Radha Rani, and her son, manipulated and connived to first enter Ishwari Nivas, and then break up Dev and Sonakshi, for their own ends. Don't know if they will go there. The elder daughter, Neha seems to have disappeared ... pity, because her story was the most interesting - the neglect of one child, a girl, for the sake of her brother ... using her as glorified baby sitter for the younger girls, because the older brother's education could not be sacrificed. These things still happen so often in India, it would have been a good story to tell ... especially if they could have shown her completing her education, and then going on to do really well in some unrelated field. But oh well ... social issues are still badly neglected on tv.
Naamkaran has picked up after the leap ... what is interesting is that finally! we don't have angry young man and sweet simple girl ... we have angry young woman bent on revenge, and a nice guy trying to help her. Also fun to watch because for once, the good guys seem to be keeping pace, or even a few steps ahead of the bad guys. Though a grandmother so bent on killing her own grand daughter because of religious issues, while she is perfectly okay with the grandson, seems very archaic in this day and age .. wish they had manufactured a better reason for the enmity. Also the grandmother is not a great actress, especially compared to the late Reema Lagoo. neither are the leads, but they are getting better, and are watchable.
IPK3 starts today ... with a haggard, unkempt looking Barun Sobti trying desperately to regain lost glory, and a tablecloth clad Shivani looking like a C grade heroine from the seventies. I might have given it a try if the ML and FL had looked more interesting ... and if Gul had not bashed Sanaya and her fans. Most unbecoming, immature conduct from a producer ... seems that Gul has taken to heart the fact that Sanaya had the temerity to turn her down! Let's see how the show does ... looking the way it does, it might find appeal among the TRP junta, who like stuff like Naagin, KKB and the like. I cannot wish it well.
And to brighten up today's post - Sanaya and Drashti out and about, socialising at a recent movie launch. Hope some rumors start floating soon - Sanaya seems more than ready to get back to work. She has hibernated for less than a week after NB ended!
