The show seems to have reached a dead end with having nothing to look forward to. Don’t you think so?
It’s not just the trend with Raman(Karan Patel) and Ishita’s(Divyanka Tripathi) Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, but almost every show. Every series starts with a bang and seems interesting, initially. Then comes the unnecessary drama, twists and turns which make the saga a snooze fest eventually. YHM is one such example and after having followed the show for a while now, I can say that it’s going NOWHERE! Why you ask? Here are my reasons:The confused vamp
Shagun(Anita Hassanandani) has been trying to make Raman and Ishita’s life hell, by hook or by crook. Be it manipulating Romi into stealing Raman’s money, scheming against Ishita by using her own son Aditya as a pawn or keeping Nikhil’s criminal past as a secret from the Bhallas, Shagun has done and will do it all. The endless attempts by Shagun, have now made the series a drab. She tries, she fails, she tries, she fails. This is all I see now. I wish this vamp had a plan, a process, a defined scheme. Her confusing and desperate attempt to get Ishita one way or another is juvenile. I might as well watch the Tom and Jerry cartoons where the cat and mouse chase makes more sense than Ishita and Shagun’s!
Too many twists, spoil the plot
The series introduces one track and just when I think the same will have a definite lead, or an ending, another one is brought in. The previous one in that case, has been long forgotten. For example, I was looking forward to see how Mihika’s(Mihika Verma) pregnancy news would shape up the story further with Mihir(Raj Singh Arora) and Ashok(Sangram Singh) in the picture. But looks like that chapter is gathering dust and new ones have been turned up. Rinky is getting married and we are to discover that her to be husband Nikhil, has a criminal past. Raman has lost his job and is now employed by Ashok. Shagun still continues to be her vicious self. Aditya has lied about taking his tuition fees from Raman. Seriously, parallel tracks are one thing, confusing ones are another. Where is this show going?
When occasions become a daily affair
I can’t remember the last time the Bhallas weren’t preparing for a pooja, sagai, shaadi or some other custom. It seems all this family does is host or attend grand ceremonies. While the same is still understandable owing to the numerous festivals our country celebrates, it all fall flats when the show is loaded with unnecessary dance sequences and performances. Now with Rinky’s shaadi coming up, we hear Raman and Ishita have a special number prepared for the same. Had they not broken into planned dance steps on the drop of a hat in the past, I would have been looking forward to their performance. But as f now, all I can hear myself saying is, not again!
