Time to fall in love again

American television has always come up with seasons of their hit shows. This trend is unknown and virtually non existent in Indian television. But looks like things are changing and once again its none other than Ekta Kapoor who has made the first move with the second season of her romantic show Kitni Mohaabat Hai for Imagine.

The first season of this romantic love story had done fairly well. In fact the leads characters of the show Arjun and Arohi did manage to find way to viewers hearts.(Ekta has always managed to make stars out of no one. Be it Kasish and Sujal or Gauri and Pratham in Kutumb - all these characters have been remembered by the people even though the shows have been off air for years now)


The second season of Kitni Mohhabat Hai deals with two families who are poles apart. Not only the families but even the two leads are at loggerheads with each other. Basically the show follows the simple story. Pehle takraar, phir pyar, phir inkaar and then finally iqraar. Still the show emerges to be a winner all the way. Not only the show looks youthful but it has certain freshness to it. No longer are the characters looking too garish or neither is Arohi like any other typical television lead character. (even her dressing is smart and more up-to-date with the day's trend)

Right from episode 1, its very clear that the show is trying to create and establish Arohi and Arjun as the next love icons of Indian television. And to be frank, they have a winner in hand. The screenplay belongs to the genre of Ekta Kapoor. The episodes have enough of masala to keep the drama and suspense element alive. Also it is full of duals between the the two leads which makes the viewing interesting. Not only the characters look up to date, but even the dialogues and the situations are in more sync with the today's youth.

I think Ekta Kapoor has done it again. She always had her fingers on the pulse of Indian audience, and with this show, she proves this once again. ( Though the show might not be able to climb beyond certain level on the TRP charts, this will be solely because its on Imagine.)

But we can still expect to see the season 3 of Kitni Mohabbat Hai and there will be more of Arohi and Arjun in times to come.
