That’s what sums up the current state of this serial.
It’s got 16 minutes of advertisements, 12 minutes of sobs and weird excitement and only a couple of minutes of what, only to its creator appears as a story.
The protagonist, the ever-excited Mamta is always on a high. Sadly her hyper activism does not appear as a mother’s love. It seems what is it. The emotional outpourings o a demented creature. The only thing worse than her acting is her dress sense.
Akshay is a nonentity. He knows that his wife cannot do anything wrong. Yet the faith arises mainly not out of confidence but his realization of his wife’s inherent daftness .He tries hard - is made to try hard by the director, or his real wife maybe -to cut a sorry resemblance of Jai Valia of Khasam Se. Think that’s what annoys him and makes him irritated.
Yet this isn’t the end. His brother is in a sorrier state. He’s got to play the role of the vamp. So we have this ‘male sister or sister-in-law ’ throwing up at any and every given opportunity.
The storyline demanded Sid and Mamta’s separation. So they got Sid killed in a car accident.
The audience couldn’t digest the removal of one of the only decent looking and, decently acting character. So the director or whosoever passes as one tied the Kaho Naa Pyar hai angle. The director or whosoever …. Used the opportunity to state the terms and the abiding principle of the whole production. Thus Sid returned from the death, as Arjun with the compulsion to refrain from anything that may make his acting appear to be remotely decent.
The character playing his wife too has a bad deal. She is not really bad looking. Yet her appearance is surely going to fetch her the award for the most unglamorous looking Television -wife.
Then there’s Krishh. It’s a crime to portray the poor kid as a dullard with an idiotic look and the perpetual cries of ‘Papa’. I’ve got a kid who’s younger than him. I’ve got a neighbour’s kid who’s younger than my son. Yet they are more active and alert then that poor fellow.
The worst part is that some mothers desire to model their active and alert kids on ‘Krish Baba’. They goad their kiddos to be good like Krish.
Kids like that, what with their weird expressions and slow responsive behaviour, are really not what we might want in real life.
Thus I rest my case with the belief that this review will get me lots of responses. It’s surely going to get me a lot of hate mails from all the mommas and aunties. Of course my wife’s going to be the first one.
So this review will finally get me something that I already have. Who cares about being famous.
It’s surely going to make me notorious!
