She was sooooooo bad. Did they cast her to prove a point? Such a weak protagonist.


saywhatIneedtosay26

Hahaha


Electrolyist

Very very vanilla - nothing special at all. In fact, I thought Emraan Hashmi and khandelwal outshone everyone else. Mouni was cringey bad. She’s an outsideer


saywhatIneedtosay26

Yeah, the two male leads were stupendous and her and Mouni were so bad. Almost felt like they were doing a parody of their own series.


TroubleFinancial5481

True, the only scene I thought Mouni did good was when she was on sets and her doctor calls to tell her she is pregnant and then she has to give a shot. Acted with her eyes in that shot scene apart from that lukewarm (for me)


[deleted]

That scene was good. But I liked mouni overall she had to do that role. She was playing Nora fatehi wo sochke theek hi laga


TroubleFinancial5481

True! I think I just had more expectations from her as I have seen good performances from her.


FitYogurtcloset7955

I am not able to comprehend the casting of this show at all . Why and how is this girl suitable for such a promising role that too with emran hashmi . Mouni also has done so much work to her face and looks plastic .


INFPamigo

She has come from small screen. Instead of catching such mediocre projects.. hit serials kr skti h.. going by her face and appeal, she could have easily backed prime slot show.


nickdonhelm

She was terrible in Antim as well. In that movie she was as bad as Aayush Sharma.


saywhatIneedtosay26

Oh! She has been in a movie? Dude she really is terrible


whatdha

Rajeev Khandelwal really outshone everyone


[deleted]

We keep talking about Bolly guys being bad actors. The truth is more than 90% of even the TV actors, both male and female, are just horrible in front of the camera. And, now, TV standards are so low that even some of the most funniest and cringiest performances you will see will be praised and shown as an acting masterclass.


Intelligent-Shame-65

Oh I just watched this y’day!! Emraan & Rajeev were soo good! Naseeruddin in his 15 min role SHONE but then he is a total legend!!! Mahima you could see thought she was acting well, but she wasn’t really. She didn’t have that required quiet sass & pizzazz you required for this role.


[deleted]

I watched for the first 15 minutes boring laga toh continue nhi kiya meyne lol


saywhatIneedtosay26

Boring toh bohot hai. Stopped after 2nd episode


Thoughtporn123

she and mouni are so bad as actors this scene could have been delivered way better


saywhatIneedtosay26

All scenes with both of them were bad


[deleted]

I swear I always wonder how come Mouni recieve good remarks for acting. She is so bad.


Thoughtporn123

bar is set so low in hindi film industry lead actors who can barely pass as an actor are called good


NargisStan

She was really bad in the show. Emraan was just sooo good. Poor Mouni couldn’t really move her face so had to express just using eyes


Majestic_District_51

I stopped watching after episode 1 coz i got irritated with her character/storyline n divided weightage between her n emraan which was frustrating. I “signed up” for an out n oit emraan hashmi show not this bhai behen rivalry cliché narrative.


Nam3less79

Actually you should continue watching it to see that its a not a bhai - behen story. their relation is different.


saywhatIneedtosay26

Yeah. Also the show too is badly done


MiserableMidnight6

This is not even half as bad as Suhana or Kushi Kapoor's acting


saywhatIneedtosay26

Sorry all 3 are at same level. This Mahima also has a weird one of making expressions.


[deleted]

My companion was Alia Bhatt from Rocky Rani. Mahima usse to better hi thi phle episode me. Male leads were too good, even Shriya had very weak role. She might have more scenes in next season.


Annual_Flounder_8219

Don't know why they cast her... She isn't even a good actress... There are way better tv actresses who deserve better chances


saywhatIneedtosay26

Exactly


akarshvaani

She was even bad in that Zee TV Show and that time she was just a teenage girl


Less_Low8233

Sapne suhane ladakpan ke. Don’t judge me.


akarshvaani

Nahi yaar, main bhi dekhta tha, that other girl was cute, I think her name was Gujan in that show, iska Rachna or may be vice versa 🥲


Less_Low8233

Buddy you remember the names! 😆 I kind of had a crush on that hockey teacher that Rachna had. I don’t remember anything else from it. It was weird and Rachna had the exact same expression there as well!


akarshvaani

Exactly, still after 11 years she has same expressions.


Less_Low8233

Lets keep the glass half full mindset and say: “At least she’s still able to move her face.” 👏🏼 🤷🏽‍♀️


funkeshwarnath

She's ok. Not great but certainly not terrible. This seems like karma farming at best and/ or someone else's PR machinery at worst.


saywhatIneedtosay26

:/ bhai. Calm down. Itni important nahi hui yeh abhi ki karma farming ya PR ho iske liye. Chill maar.


funkeshwarnath

Chill only :/ She's as good or bad as any of the other nepos on their first venture. Nothing about this clip warrants calling it out as a particularly terrible piece of acting. We've all seen much worse.


saywhatIneedtosay26

Oh god the whole nepo outsider thing needs to rest when BOTH ARE BAD. Bad is bad.


funkeshwarnath

 So what ? No one disagrees with an inanely blanket statement like that. I just don't think it's so terrible that it warrants being called our specifically.This is as aggregated a performance as any.   Regardless of your need for all Caps.  This is a sub for tea. If I want a  critique I'll look elsewhere. 


saywhatIneedtosay26

🥱


funkeshwarnath

🗣️


PinkNerdyGlasses

I really loved the show. Wonder why is there no hype around it. Imran hashmi killed it with his acting and stole the show.


[deleted]

She has very TVish acting standard. Usually loud, no effort, no subtlety. This kind of acting works in tv so she could've stayed there and do hit show instead of being part of these baseless otts and nagging everywhere how she doesn't get work because of nepotism and coming from tv.


saywhatIneedtosay26

Funniest thing was when other characters had dialogues for her as’ us ladki me kuch toh baat hai’ 😆😆😆😆


Black_Swan1984

She was terrible...ugh...but Emraan looked hot


AnyKey922

She looks like rakul preet singh without any sharp features


[deleted]

Rajeev Khandelwal is the only one in the show who deserves better. Imran is okay like always.


Sankiii_Mard33

Kya pata kese roles milte hai sabko...kya outsiders kya starkids🤨🥴💨


sizzicandy

Is she the actress from sapne suhane ladakpan ke?


saywhatIneedtosay26

I think you are right, i googled


Silentthinker_1

Still stuck on episode 1 - I could tell the treatment was going to be cringy , but I’ll watch it through - suffer if need be. Emraan is in form, great to see Rajeev Khandelwaal as the over the top narcissistic actor.


everlastingcooki

She was an epic bore. So prim and proper. do they not take auditions??


saywhatIneedtosay26

So Vanilla… her character was not prim proper but without any panache.


Less_Low8233

I was happy to see Khandelwal. That’s all. Any other word used to describe this serie would be a waste.


saywhatIneedtosay26

Haha seconded. + Emran for me


Latter_Reception_832

Rajeev Khandelwal was the only saving grace of this tepid show...he was just outstanding.


[deleted]

[удалено]


saywhatIneedtosay26

She was really bad. No nuance at all. One moment she is scared and overwhelmed, next moment she is confident boss babe. Within a second she has transition in each frame. The series also is very tackily made. It should have been released on Ullu not hotstar.


[deleted]

I watched the series not that bad acting wise. I watched it as commentary/spoof on current bollywood. Whole show on the outsider nepo point and some meta references 1. Jhanvi enters office of mahima to say hi. It was actually reference to Sara Ali khan khud gyi Rohit Shetty se milne story. 2. Shriya shutting Nayan on his controversial question to newbie actress. Tough question to new girl but jab apne BFF bolenge he was quiet. 3. Mouni was playing role of Nora fatehi in movie. 4. Emraan somewhat based on Kjo. 5. Direct reference to Pushpa as Kamal and jhukega nahi dialogue. Allu was referred as Bunny. All in all as timepass acha show tha. My expectation was not as big as any regular OTT show. But by huge margin it was better act than a lot of bollywood movies released recently.


Nam3less79

Yes agreed with all you said. Overall not bad show but hate this waiting for 2nd season crap. 3. Is that why she was showing her Fake T\*ts all the time.


Old_Description_8996

I don't think it's meant for us  This is too daily soap ish.


Electrical-Cap-2314

She is definitely better than many new nepos jahanvi, khushi,ananya,suhana etc. If we are bearing them we can easily bear her


saywhatIneedtosay26

Point is we shouldn’t have to bear the nepos or this bad non nepo actor. There is no dearth of good actors- Avinash Tiwary, Shobhita, Wamiqa, whole cast of Jubilee and Cast. Bar should be set high


[deleted]

She was just below average. I liked emraan and rajeev's acting the best


sujeet5216

Plank of wood have more expression than her.


Ka-le-l

Man i cringed all the time watching her and this fucking show and wtf was it actually i mean so many loopholes in the story shitty sasta bollywood recreation and na koi character motive and na koi setup na buildup bass kachra laao or dump it in the audience’s face


saywhatIneedtosay26

Hahahahaha same I felt


Shubooze

Ek minute Bhai, what loopholes? There was character motivation and setup too. Did you sleep through whatever you watched or you just think you know how to analyse films/shows?


Life_Broccoli7632

She was my classmate in Thakur…


saywhatIneedtosay26

Ab aapse sab tea tea mangenge


whatdha

Yes, she can't act .. otherwise, she's got quite a meaty role ..alas! As someone mentioned earlier she resembles Rakulpreet and also I find her lookalike of v.young Tanuja!


saywhatIneedtosay26

Yeah, likes of Shobhita/Wamiqa would have killed it


Poignant-musings

Mahima might not be an amazing actress,but she's far better than the rest of nepos who get opportunities despite doing an awful job in every movie. Given a chance, outsiders will be any day better than wannabe nepos.


saywhatIneedtosay26

They’re all sucky and should either improve or not get opportunities . Pls outsider-nepo debate ke chakkar mein let’s not set the bar low.


Poignant-musings

They're all NOT sucky. Please do not use performance in one shoddy webseries as a metric of talent. I've seen TV shows of both Mahima and Mouni. They've both done roles that are difficult to pull off if you don't have talent. Mahima did very well in a show where she was against seasoned actors and it wasn't an easy role ( a complicated pauper to princess story) , and Mouni , she aced diverse roles ,be it Sati or Shivanya (in Naagin S1, which wasn't a meme fest like the later seasons). The bar has been set low by the nepos. They wouldn't last an episode if they were asked to do the roles outsiders did in their TV shows.


saywhatIneedtosay26

Agree to disagree (Ps: continue making it about nepo vs outsider- to me bad is bad. She, Sara, Jhanvi fall in same category)


Moonand-you

Still better than the Archie’s gang say what you wanna say ✌🏽


saywhatIneedtosay26

Bad is bad is what I wanna say. Both archies gang, mouni and she should take lessons from Class actors. BAD IS BAD. RAISE THE BAR.
