Dev! Pammi!
Main Pammi se pyaar karta hoon!
Dev sirf mera hai!
Anu! (in a fit of anger)
Main tumhe chhodoonga/gi nahin!
What you have read above are the words most commonly used in this serial killer...thats a term coined by me since this serial has been dragged like an oldie who kills a teenage girl and drags her body in the jungle out of boredom! Another reason for the words used above is to reduce stress levels of the actors since repetitive usage of words is equal to lesser time consumed in mugging dialogues and improves memory!
The initial episodes of this action-packed-masala serial were as crisp as your regular morning corn flakes cereal. But soon they started to taste like ...umm! I think you people can describe that better when you observe your expression on the mirror due to an upset stomach or loose motions.
The storyline...(is there one?) yes...there is...but is more of a pammi hunting real dev and dev losing memory and boots off! to the scriptwriters for innovative inspirations from Face/off introduced in serials..(I thought they existed only in films) our hero Dev gets plastic surgery done in such a flawless way that experts in the same field should learn from our writers or the doctor Rohan Malhotra. He needs no introduction coz he loves Pammi and is probably dead by now and I wont be surprised if he comes out of the dead since I have lost touch(thank god!) with this serial.
Basically it is a quadrangular love story(whatever that is!) mixed with heavy doses of obsession, lust (hawas for hindi-speaking lovers) and deceit...coupled with famous hindi dialogues like Mummyji (the generation-X version of yesteryear's 'Maa!') and all oldies with whom the youth share close bonds with to exhibit Indianness and togetherness...
DMNHC (abbreviating is so much easier!) will complete 3 years of suck!cessful run on STAR TV and will continue for another 5-10 years...till our producer Aruna Irani has her energy levels high by that time (touchwood!) and this cliched plot will still excite her...and our revered audience!
This 'Chand' serial has many more craters than the one we see in the sky and still 'airing'...on Mondays or rather Moondays at 9:00pm...the show starts with sukhwinder's famous high pitch singing and again comes at times during high voltage confrontations between two lovers...who? of course The very famous Dev and Pammi!
Recommended for middle aged aunties who want a complete change of wardrobe since apni Pammi gets to wear designer desi outfits and jewellery..inspite of being a widow numerous times in this killer of a serial!!
Watch only on full moon days!
