The background score in it was also too distracting at first but toned down halfway through the series.
KASAUTI ZINDAGI KI SEASON 1 SERIES
I had a similar complaint with the initial few episodes of The Test Case, another Balaji production but a web series made exclusively for Alt Balaji. Whether the scene demands it or not, a joyful, somber or a comical tone is always there to force your brain into thinking that this is how you are supposed to feel right now. It plays without reason and way too often. The scene between Prerna’s parents at their home is an example – it felt like they are in an actual home with people surrounding them and not in an artificial studio somewhere in Mumbai, recording an entire episode over tea and biscuits. The supporting actors get a boom mic on the location and the result is much better and more realistic. A mother and her daughter are talking in the back of a lorry but you cannot hear any traffic noises at all. The reluctance of television directors to use a more realistic way – they are still dubbing scenes in a studio - is also distracting. Considering the fan following she amassed with the show, she did pretty well for herself. Shweta Tiwari, the original Prerna, was more subdued and didn’t try this hard. In the first episode at least, the two characters seem like the exact replicas of the originals.Ī few scenes, like when she asks Anurag if he is thedha or seedha (if he is gay) force her to be excessively bubbly in a bid to make her look cuter but she ends up irritating you with all her shrieking and visibly fake nervousness. Anurag is still the good boy who isn’t interested in women or partying while Prerna is still all about wearing suits to college and forcing it in everyone’s faces what a dreamy Disney princess she is. Why has the 17 years of time difference led to such a drastic regression in fashion choices? To be honest, the original looks like a fresher, more modern version of the two.Ĭoming back to more internal changes, there are none. The changes are only at the surface in the actors’ louder sarees with fatter border, shinier gold, thicker eyeliners and bigger bindis. The sister is still evil and the servants are still suffering. There is the goofy dad who definitely hates his wife but plays it as a big joke.

There is classist mother who has gotten younger and much worse in her choice of outfits and tacky jewellery. Their character introductions, the first few dialogues, the rest of the characters, their names, their intensions and the tensions between them are absolutely the same. All patras on this show are kalpanic indeed.
KASAUTI ZINDAGI KI SEASON 1 FULL
Erica Fernandez (the new Prerna) still manages to wake up, bathe, get dressed and put on a full face of make-up all in less than a minute. Parth Samthaan (the new Anurag), participates in the opening aarti shirtless, perhaps to show off how he has better abs than Cezanne Khan. The initial 10 minutes of the show are copied to the bone from the first episode of the original. That’s where the list of good things ends. Of course, the sets are still garish and appear fake but at least they have a stock pile of aerial shots to establish the setting this time. The video is glossier, the make-up is dewier and finally, it does feature a few shots of the actual city they claim to be set in, Kolkata. Cezzanne Khan and Shweta Tiwari in Kasautii Zindagi Kay. However, there are a handful of rather superficial things that have changed for the better.
KASAUTI ZINDAGI KI SEASON 1 PLUS
Once again, Star Plus and Balaji are ready to hit us on the head with the early 2000s nostalgia, the tragedy of unrequited love and the romance of red dupattas artificially blowing in the wind.Ī lazy production, the makers have undoubtedly given more time and attention to the marketing of the show rather than what we ultimately see on the television. So maybe it was a step in the right direction to bring humans back on television, of course I am still not sure about Komolika’s origins. The audiences were met with a brand new wave of naagins and rakshasas that are now in their proud third seasons. In the 10 years that it stayed away from telly, things did not get better.
