Kehne ko Humsafar hain (3 seasons- ALT Balaji)


Kehne ko Humsafar hain: Finally the last 9 episodes of season three were released on 1st July 2020. I loved the series! I loved watching all three seasons. It's quite surprising since, I am not very fond of Ekta Kapoor shows. I saw that people have wrote all sort of things about the show calling it immoral, all about lust and that it is giving a wrong message to society. 

Well, I somehow didn't find any wrong message. The story is quite realistic, modern and it does question certain aspects of love, relationship and marriage. It is not forcing its views since it does highlight the consequences too. 

KKHH has lived up to it's title, till the season finale. As the name suggests, it's about having that 'so called partner in your journey' (kehne ko humsafar) with whom, you can really be yourself and be happy without giving an official name to the relationship. It shows both the perspectives: how certain decisions might impact others who are involved (especially family members) and also how it is okay to take some selfish decisions, if you know that is what you need to be happy. 

Any relationship requires plenty of efforts to sustain, especially, when it goes against the usual societal norms. I feel the series has given away a really strong message. The lead cast were superb till the last episode. 

Mona Singh as Ananya- the loving, sensitive but independent woman who is quite patient but, still very vocal about her needs is absolutely brilliant. Gurdeep Kohli as Poonam- the dedicated, caring ex-wife, who is the most balanced person in the family trying hard to keep her family together and sane has done a great job too.

But, my favourite was Ronit Roy as Rohit Mehra. He is little confused, a little clueless throughout the series but, madly in love with Ana. He is a super-caring dad, who continuously trying to prove his worth and be there for his loved ones. 

The last season showed him in a completely different avtaar. The flamboyant, rugged, carefree, wasted, alcoholic, casanova sorts who is in-fact just being too tough on himself and going through his mid-life crisis. He is unable to handle the fact that he screwed up his life really bad, by making some wrong choices. I just loved him! 😍 He portrayed the character of Rohit, quite effortlessly. It was indeed a treat to watch him.

All the other supporting cast in the series were good too. Overall, really mature and brave storytelling. I was happy with the slightly unexpected ending as well. You will like it only if you watch it with an unbiased, unprejudiced mindset. 

My rating would be 8/10

 Serious Men: movie on Netflix:  Based on the book by Manu Joseph, this movie directed by Sudhir Mishra and starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui will make you contemplate n reflect over a lot of things. Ayyan Mani played by Nawaz, is a smart and confident man belonging to the lower caste n working as a PA to Arvind Acharya (Nassar): a Brahmin Scientist. I mention the caste because the entire movie revolves around this societal hierarchy. Ayyan has come a long way, is educated and doing okay but his roots and the atrocities that his ancestors suffered keep haunting him all the time. Every now and then he is reminded of his under-privileged status and humiliated by his boss over trivial things. He is indeed frustrated and struggling to make ends meet and provide a good life to his wife and son. But he is also clever, opinionated and street smart. He is highly determined to go to any extremes to secure the future of his only son Adi, beautifully played by Aakshath Das. Adi is an innocent

Bombay Begums on Netflix

It is a 6 part long webseries which was released on Women's Day and revolves around five seemingly empowered women who belong to different stratas, different ages and are facing all sorta different struggles which most women can relate to. The intention of the makers seems really great but, the efforts fall short somewhere. Many things were repetitive and unnecessary. It could not create an impact and connect the way it could have! Its Pooja Bhatt's comeback as an actor after almost 21 years and she has done a fair job as Rani: a powerful woman, who started from scratch and has achieved a lot in life except for acceptance from her own family. Shahana and Plabita were perhaps the best performers and did a great job keeping it realistic. Shahana Goswami as Fatima: the fiesty ambitious woman who can crack the best of deals with her quickwit and presence of mind but has been dealing with a lot of internal struggle, self prejudices and dissatisfaction in her personal life. Plab

Illegal Season 1 (webseries on Voot)

The supposedly courtroom drama web series, has more drama in the lives of all its characters than in the actual court room. 😱 The series starts with an interesting premise and does grab your attention to some extent.  But there is too much going on in it at all times. 😥  Be it the ghost from the past, personal conflicts, failed relationships, sexual assault, hallucinations out of guilt, paranoia, political games, murders, plight of a death row prisoner the list goes on n on. The director has tried to cramp it all in a 10 episode (approx 25 mins each) series. 🤷🏻‍♀️  Neha Sharma has given her best as Niharika Singh 👌🏻👌🏻 and must be her no. 1 role by far. Dipak Tijori's character needed to have more depth, especially for his comeback. Akshay Oberoi is improving. Much much better than his performance in 'Its not that simple'. Kubbra Sait is quite good as Meher Salam, Piyush Mishra's character as JJ- a cunning, crooked, powerful lawyer was highly irritating and he di
