After seeing such a beautiful couple, the words that comes out of my mind is “Haste Haste .. Kat jaein Raaste”
DIALOGUES, MUSIC & DIRECTION
Dialogues are so relatable to the present generation, lots of life learning lessons, dealing with different aspects of life. Direction is outstanding. Very few Indian series have depicted complete journey of any relationship, the Ups and Downs, the falls and the Vctories, the Chaos and the biggest decisions.
Performances
Dhruv and Kavya just rocked it. Mithila Palekar, she evolved with the series itself. Her performance got stronger with each episode. Dhruv is phenomenal throughout and gave such consistent performace to watch.
