Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
mynk29 Permanent roommates is not overly emotional, not overly humorous and not even a overly love story and this is what it makes so special. Unlike "tune meri chai kaise pee" saas bahu crap; this is a middle class depiction of a love between a typical Indian IT professional and an independent girl who feels confused about her relationship. This is really fast paced drama and never kept you waiting for what next... director and script writer deserves a doff for it. Nidhi Singh and Sumeet Vyas both has gone deep inside their characters..This is 100% recommended to anyone who is bored with Netflix and has not watched star plus/colours from last ten years.
imtiaz A story about a boy and a girl discovering love out of a long distance relationship and eventually getting to the point of marriage. The story is as simple as it could be, but that is what makes it so real and beautiful. The fact that the writers never even try to be surreal for a moment give it a clear edge over other TV Series (this is not a TV series though). Mikesh's and Tanya's characters are well crafted. Mikesh is sort of an "egg head" (according to the Wikipedia page) and Tanya is the more mature and smarter one. After three years of long distance relationship suddenly Mikesh proposes to Tanya for marriage which in turn creates confusion between the two. And the couple somehow manages with the baggage of their decision. The plot is funny, specially Mikesh who sometimes could be dumb as hell. There would be moments when someone can feel that they don't love each other and they are not a "meant for each other" couple, actually they are not! That's what makes it more realistic. They are not a perfect couple, not at all but they do love each other. Love and only love drives their story forward. Mikesh is annoying so one might end up thinking, "Why on earth Tanya is tolerating him? Maybe she would better off without him." But love doesn't work that way, and this love gives this simple, realistic story an "over the top" feel. Season one is more funny and reasonable. It is more compact in its storytelling. Season two also share the same theme, but it is more dramatic. The plot is a little bit loose and focuses more on the human elements and values of family, society, and culture. The fact that the episodes of the second season are quite lengthier than the first season can give you a reason for "liking it less". But as the story draws itself towards its conclusion, everything started making sense. The story certainly doesn't end in an "all-happy" mode, but in a more natural way where they try to find "happiness" among what is left of them (believe me one would understand it after watching). The writers very cleverly try to tie all the loose knots at the end, and they succeed also. Somehow you get to understand the feelings of both these characters which were buried deep inside them in this entire series. Acting is superb. The direction is very good. But the real heroes are the writers. The way the story is written makes it more lovable. One extra marks for the story.At the end the quote from their title. "Neither do they die nor do they live happily ever after...It's a third kind of love story." It is indeed.
Naresh Gaikwad let me get this very clear. Most of the reviews in this section praise the title with barely anyone disappointed with it. I agree them for the fact that season 1 of this series is absolutely path breaking with Indian audience. Lovely, charming and it could not go any better. Season 1 was the best thing happened to us fellow Indians in years. TheViralFever was not much that popular then off course. And then came 2016. TVF was a well known YouTube channel by then. And they decided to bring season 2. And this is where they lost all the charm. Unnecessarily extended season with irrelevant episodes, a very average acting by Nidhi Singh and helpless but adoring Sumit Vyas desperately trying to save the fun. If you haven't watched it yet, please stop over season 1 and thank me later :)
v-k301095 A cherishing experience; something India can be proud of. This is a quest of TVF for improving the standards of Indian Television which is certainly heading towards success. A big thumbs up to TVF. This show is only for those people who like to see something real and funny at the same time. You just need to give it a chance and it will not disappoint you, this is the best series that I have seen in Hindi language. I would like to request to all the readers that please see this show and it will be worth every second of your time. Without exaggerating I would like to say that this kind of shows are something that Indian audience is longing for.
