Dil Hi Toh Hai (2018)

This soap opera doing a terrible job of masquerading itself as modern-day romance is boring, cliched and quite worn out. The only thing the production team managed to upgrade was explicit content. Dialogues employ hip, modern lingo but that doesn't make up for overwhelming hysteria and sappy one-liners.

Rithwik Noon (Karan Kundrra), a rich, cold and aloof hunk with an agenda against women's loyalty, has just broken up with a sensitive, hysterical girl. Overcome by Rithwik's charm, the ex is having a hard time letting go. Fortunately her friend Dr. Palak Sharma (Yogita Bihani), a rational and understanding (polar opposite to Rithwik) has taken upon her the challenge to protect her friend and has swore to never allow guys like Rithwik in a proximity of even 10 mile radius but guess what, destiny has other plans and their worlds collide sooner than anticipated as Rithwik kisses Palak under a mistaken presumption (surprise, surprise right?). Needless to say, the show is unimaginative and feasts on stereotypes.

An impenetrable, stone-hearted Cassanova who is incapable of loving and repulsed by the idea of it, finally meets the girl who corrupts his incorruptible soul with the ideas of compassion and romance. The script and writing and conspicuously dull lack creativity. Production design, however, is grand.

The show is too familiar to be worth anyone's time.

Dil hi to hai is another trademark of Ekta Kapoor’s production with its lavish and more than enormous sets, loving yet troubled business tycoon family and a sweet meddling love story that brews out of initial hatred. Cliché much? But the interesting part of the show is its appealing view. Karan Kundra, serves as a treat to the eye as he makes his television comeback. I really admired the way Ekta Kapoor incorporated boldness into the show which neither gets too vulgar but still manages to serve the purpose. The story is quite engrossing for the romance buffs. And the best thing on the top of this amazing creation is the star studded cast that did full justice to the character they portrayed.

Dil Hi Toh Hai is an India romantic drama series by ALT Balaji. It follows the story of a family and the evolution of relationships in it. Apart from some of the characters, there is nothing in this show which differentiates it from those old saas-bahu daily soaps. The show feels like a recycled product, same old formula set in modern time. The acting is a big let-down and over dramatization of every scene doesn't help it either. The show has that trademark Ekta Kapoor vibe of family drama. This will appeal to only a section of viewers and will be unbearable to the rest of them.
