Our Take:
This show is romantic plus musical saga. It has few fresh bits in the first meet scene of the leads. The leads stars and their chemistry deserve to become the USP of the show. Storyline is good and simple. One can find the story predictable having seen many of the rich rockstar and simple girl love stories. This one has fresh leads with bits of twists. The romance genre fans would like this show. Karan Kundra’s comeback pays off well. He lights up the screen with his presence. Saanvi is well cast with honest portrayal of Maanvi. Her innocent act is appreciable. The cast is effective in their roles. The suspense between the leads’ family adds up interest. Music touch to the show makes it rocking. Music and romance combo with poles apart leads drives interest.
Overall:
The show airs at 9.30 PM on weekdays, which can be a good one at that time to watch with family. The show has got much emotions and perspectives. One would like to watch it for the romantic chemistry and amusing tiffs between the leads. It can become a good runner on And TV. It is a modern take on seen story, where leads would be loved for their clashes, perspectives, attitude and earthiness.
