A soap opera at heart but with a shiny new exterior

Casting Vikrant Messey is inarguably the best decision ALTBalaji has made in long time. His portrayal of a guilt ridden man, who is broken and distraught is indeed beautiful. Veer (Vikrant Messey) lost his wife during an accident of the car that he was driving, and since that accident, he feels nothing but remorse. He grapples with the prospect of moving on and trying to find himself beyond his now shattered, once ideal life.

The sheer depth in characters is a great relief from alt Balaji's typical teenage dramas and for once they seem to have an ace up their sleeves. As the story continues in a well-paced narrative, Veer (Vikrant Massey) stumbles upon Sameera (Harleen Sethi) in his newly rented apartment, who has been described as "the psycho ex" by his cousin. While the title "psycho" may not hold much truth, but she is quite guilty for being caring and considerate. Veer and Sameera's first few encounters aren't exactly amicable but bunch of misunderstandings bring them together.

Despite all the pain, agony and dark emotions it deals with, the show never feels gloomy. Aptly employed comic relief keeps the ethos of the show light; and the multidimensional characters keep it close to reality. It's a great watch for any romance/drama enthusiast.
