Our Take:

The characters look real to life. There is not much offbeat drama to fill the scenes. Dialogues feel like attempted to become witty, but bring some fun in the show. The tale of modern relationships will surely be liked by the viewers. There are few shows which put light on the practical nature behind some hurdles facing relations. Not all relations are perfect as seen in other shows. This show brings some different concept and can be called a fine trial. Coming to actors, Shaheer Sheikh as Dev is effortless. The role looks tailor made for Shaheer. There has to be more of Erica Fernandes. By far, she is okay in her portrayal. Supriya Pilgaonkar needs no performance evaluation. She is an added wonder in the show cast. Other supporting cast is fairly good and bring a fresh appeal. The show holds charm to get good viewership. The title track looks soothing and slow. The leads need more sparkling chemistry. As of now, their scenes do not raise high interest.

Overall:

One may watch the love to get some bits of love, romance, maturity, emotions and values. The show brings all the good attributes packed in the lead, presenting the perfect guy Dev. The show brings the heart versus mind decision fights, wherein leads decide to not take a practical decision on their still-on relationship. The devotion of a son towards his mother, and his developing feelings for his girlfriend would divide Dev. The concept is interesting and will relate to many viewers. A good attempt by Sony.
