The five “Meet Cute” episodes—are there any similarities? While there may be a few themes, an inadvertent (?) aspect can’t help but be detected.
The males in all five of the stories are incredibly endearing. Their extraordinary sweetness interferes with the viewer’s ability to watch the show with great anticipation.
The most recent episode, “Ex-Girl Friend,” stands out for its deft portrayal of an inner conflict manifesting as social awkwardness in a character. Two ladies (Sunainaa and Sanchitha Poonacha) sit on a beach in the wind and talk about Ajay after a dinner date goes wrong (Govind Padmasoorya).
The 30-minute programme modifies the viewer’s perspective on Ajay as it goes along. The message of accepting one’s imperfections strikes a chord with individuals. This section also features a father and his loving daughter having a slice-of-life conversation.
The second-best episode is “In L(AW)OVE,” which deepens Rohini’s genuine emotions and body language.After Amani, who appears so unrefined on television, she is the second recent mother from “Oke Oka Jeevitham.”
When she first notices her dedicated son strolling with a young woman (Aakanksha Singh) on the street, she is disturbed that he has a hidden life. She is not furious, but she is a little disturbed by what she must learn from a stranger at a veterinarian’s office. When someone says, “Relationships that make you feel lonely are worse than loneliness itself,” it really hits you.
“Star Struck” is poor writing, despite the welcome observation that female performers fear sexual harassment in situations that seem benign. A leading woman played by Adah Sharma finally moves in with a male doctor played by Shiva Kandukuri, who is unaware of her celebrity. She appreciates how tidy his flat is and treasures the sentimental notebook entries. He openly flirts with her on a rainy night, but it all seems too idealistic. The notion of “enjoying the silences as much as the dialogues” feels monotonous, despite not being forced.
The two poorest songs are undoubtedly “Meet the Boy” and “Old Is Gold.” In the first movie, a soon-to-wed couple named Swathi (Varsha Bollamma) and Abhi (Ashwin Kumar) seek to get over their initial misgivings and get to know one another better over a dinner date. The episode’s simplistic dialogue and stereotypical characters amount to little more than filler. The music in this episode isn’t as memorable as it was in the previous ones.
Regarding “Old is Gold,” it makes temper outbursts and mood swings appear minor by portraying patience as the magic wand that can be used in any private scenario. The importance of intimacy is meant to be emphasised through an accidental encounter between an old guy (Sathyaraj) and a young working woman (Ruhani Sharma) at a consulate. A dedicated old couple who have moved past pointless disputes and routine clashes is a worn cliché that doesn’t help.
