Watched one show online recently - Made in Heaven on Amazon Prime - written, produced and directed by Zoya Akhtar and associates. One of the writers was Reema Kagti who wrote English Vinglish. Good show, very good production values, excellent storyline ... The lead actress was decent, but I still have to find someone who can do better than San on the small screen. This girl was good in many scenes, but faltered in emotional scenes. The show as a whole was very watchable ... urban India, lifestyles of the rich and famous ... which I have to say I find easier to watch than the Mirzapur, Wasseypur kind of gang shows.
Next on my list - Delhi Crime, based on the Nirbhaya rape case ... on Netflix ... this is going to be a tough watch so I need to have a free weekend when I can go through it in one or two sittings.
On Hotstar comes another new show - Criminal Justice ... hearing good reviews of this one too.
Netflix and Amazon are eyeing the Indian market ... so we are suddenly getting a bunch of new shows. Hotstar was the leader in this market but is feeling the heat of competition, and is upping its content of new original shows ... good news for those tired of Indian tv and its regressive content which caters to the small towns and villages more than ever.
Speaking of Indian TV, a new Rajan Shahi show, a spin off of YRKKH, Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke, has just started on SP. I gave it a shot, as Rajan Shahi's shows are usually watchable, and don't have the scheming vamps and villains that most other Indian shows have. Decent start ... Shaheer Sheikh has come such a long way as an actor! He is really good now ... the best part of the show. Wish he would cut his hair though ... very distracting!!! His mother does a reprise of her Kokila ben role ... she sounds exactly the same as she did in her last show. Shaheer's FL is very pretty and a terrible actress ... why does poor Shaheer get stuck with such girls? First Erica, now Rhea. Her crying scenes are utterly cringeworthy. The girl playing Kuhu is even worse ... they need to replace the actress or tone her down as soon as possible. Shaheer's brother and naanu are good ... his maamu is played by the actor who played Rudra's chacha in RR, both character and actor are ok. Mishti's (Rhea) family is Akshara's family, all known faces and characters.
Still watching Patiala Babes and Ladies Special ... have dropped Maayke as the girl is just too dumb and is a total mamma's baby with no brain of her own. It's usually the Indian men who are like that, and I find them extremely irritating ... a girl like that is worse!
Sanaya news ... she visited Roshni Chopra's store to pick up a new wardrobe, hopefully for Ghost promotions ... and even better, she is doing a show on Zee5 with TV actors and well known designers ... San is wearing Sandeep Khosla Abu Jani, and looks simply gorgeous.
Don't know where and how to watch this, hopefully there will be some clarity soon.
Also Gul Khan confirmed to a fan on twitter that her show with San is very much on, though dates are uncertain.
And Sanaya has shot a pilot for a talk show which she will host, and chat with other tv actors.
So looks like San is back to work mode with a vengeance, and we should see a decent amount of her on screen soon.
