Misc comments on posts on the last few pages:
1. Yes, I found EE completely ordinary, with oversmart (AgAU) kids mouthing dialogues too witty for their IQ shown in the movie. I was smart enough to watch the movie in bits and pieces (with the French Open taking most of my time!) and so didn't get annoyed by ZM (Zee Marketing). I found the kids a little too KPS (khAUn piUn sukhI, a nicer-sounding synonym for 'plump') for their family background, though they acted really well - even their AgAU dialogues! The girl's hairstyle was a bit too 'mod' for her character, I thought.
2. I would highly recommend 'Ship of Theseus' and esp its second segment, as example of an outstanding Indian movie. I liked it as much as 'The Lunchbox'. Neeraj Kabi plays Maitreya, the monk, with such realism that I think he has to be one of the finesh actors in India today.
3. 'nAndI' is quite good, but like Pooriya, I think the HJ-written part could have been better. The parallel track between Spruha's character's real-life situation and the female characters presented in the play was not developed well.
4. 'Asmita' followers must have noted that the spiteful, jealous s-i-l of Asmita (Abhiman's sister Vaidehi) has exited the serial. Well, it seems Colors Marathi (which seems determined to give tough competition to Zee Marketing) is coming up with some competition to D3.
5. How long will D3 hold the viewers' interest? In absence of a storyline that moves forward, we are being shown, quite predictably, the travails of all six roomies one by one. It's Meenal's turn now. A particular dialogue by Meenal the other day, where she is shown complaining to Reshma about some girl who got a role strictly because of her family connections, must have really hit home (unintentionally)! Meenal tells Reshma: "nA rUp, nA rang, nA talent, tilA to role miLAlA to phakta tiche waDIl tyA company che mAlak Ahet mhaNUn!' (or something similar).
It couldn't be more ironical since almost all those adjective apply to Reshma herself!
IMHO (and I am sorry if this hurts her fans!), Reshma's acting hasn't improved by an iota from the first episode and it seems she got the role strictly because of her lineage. Although I won't like to comment about 'rang' and 'rUp', IMHO all other serials have more attractive actresses, incl D3.
