I waited eagerly to see the first episode, but somehow it failed to impress me. I think the rural background might do very well for an earlier time slot but in the 9:30 slot, the serial faces stiff competition. Already SP holds the lead with YRKKH and then there is Parichay(Colors) and Parvarish(Sony). This time slot is kind of dominated with urban background serials so to introduce a rural theme is a big gamble to say the least.
But coming to the serial - the constant refrain from the overly dressed extras telling the lead that all she was good for was dancing for the Thakurs kind of got on my nerves. Umm who is crass enough to say such things blatantly these days and that too women? This is the first time I saw a woman telling a girl to entice a rich ma (prolly her own husband) if she wants money for her labor. Huh!! something wrong with you lady? Are you a procuress by any chance?
Am I disappointed that my favs didn't make an appearance, yes I am. It would've been a treat to watch them. But then, I'm being overly critical I suppose. This is just the first episode, let's wait and watch.
What were your first reactions, btw?
