I genuinely struggled to watch this - the constant, erratic camera movement was dizzying. It felt less like cinematography and more like a chaotic experiment. Whether the cameraman was overly enthusiastic or following some misguided directorial vision, the result was simply unpleasant.

Instead of focusing on a compelling story, the production leaned heavily on melodramatic sound effects, a barrage of jarring camera angles, excessive zooms, and relentless wobbling. It was all style and no substance.

We're in 2024, not 2004. It's time Indian television and film started drawing inspiration from international dramas that value narrative depth and visual coherence, rather than churning out this exhausting, overwrought content.

British born and bred, and I've seen a few dating shows in my life (starting with Cilla Black and Blind Date back in the day!) and listen, I don't care what anyone says - this show was entertaining.

I was laughing throughout and forming my opinions about what was going on.

The ending wasn't completely a forgone conclusion and I was pleasantly surprised by it.

I loved some characters, disliked others, really enjoyed the scenic views of India, and felt kinda proud of the next generation.

Chirag, Vidushi and Sifat were great! As were some of the others!

Production team did a great job and looks like a lot of effort went into this, esp. The dates, and the atmosphere, music etc.

Looking forward to the next series!!
