Caught a couple of other shows during the last few days.
Surprisingly, I liked the one episode I saw of Kya Hua Tera Vaada - a drama dealing with infidelity. Will follow it up when I can. Mona's boss is the guy who played the father in Aapki Antara, which was a very, very good show - the best researched show on a medical issue that I have ever seen on Indian telly. So it totally prejudiced me in favour of KHTV as soon as I saw the guy's face :))
Saw a couple of episodes of Madhubala, - not very impressed - it seems to be a copy of Om Shanti Om at the moment, with gender reversal and a bit of mish mash - Madhu's sister is the one with dreams, but her scenes are very reminiscent of SRK in OSO. Also the chawl sets and the general look gives a feel like a 70's BW movie. Acting is okay, not bad, but nothing that leaps out at you so far. It may pick up though - it's barely a few weeks old.
Punar Vivah is one I am following - one can watch a couple of episodes a week and get the gist of the story, and I like the focus on the kids rather than the wicked saas-bua angle. I watch while browsing online and it's decent. Acting is just okay, though. I like the youngest brother, he has improved since his LNMDJ days.
Phir Subah Hogi - I need to catch up, read the updates, and it appears they are planning a Vikram-Sugni romance. Want to see how that goes - I love Varun Badola. Sugni is good. I have seen a show with Narayani earlier, she's another decent actress.
Caught up with an episode of Parvarish - I enjoy it! The typical Punjabi families, their way of speaking, the humour in the dialogues - it's a fun watch. Nothing addictive the way a good love story is, but good fun and very entertaining. And the acting is good!
