PromoReview: Suhasi Dhami’s subtlety is the HIGHLIGHT of Zee TV’s ‘Aapke Aa Jaane Se’

The idea of bold relationships seems to have taken over the telly world in recent times, where Star Plus’ recently launched show, Dil Sambhal Jaa Zara explores the love saga of an elderly man with a relatively younger girl.

Now, Zee TV’s upcoming show, Aapke Aa Jaane Se is a reversal of the above concept, where a 42 year old woman (Suhasi Dhami) develops feelings for a young 24 year old boy, Sahil (Karan Jotwani).

The promo recently went on air and here’s what we think about it-

What’s It About?

The promo begins with Suhasi Dhami’s character waiting for Sahil (Karan Jotwani) and the chirpy Sahil arrives surprising her with a birthday cake.

He is happy and ecstatic, where Suhasi is awkward and skeptical considering the age gap between them she realised about. Remarking Sahil about how she has a 15 year old daughter and all this craziness doesn’t suit women of her age, she tries to balance her feelings for Sahil against society’s norms.

Sahil is not only carefree about all this, but always has an amazing answer for all of Suhasi’s doubts. To him, the age gap doesn’t matter as his love for her is pure and above all beliefs.

Inspite of Suhasi’s constant apprehensions, Sahil manages to make her smile and showcase her pure love constantly.

The Good

It’s sheer bad luck that the show comes in a time when Dil Sambhal Jaa Zara is already on-air and people will compare. But inspite of that, the promo of Aapke Aa Jaane Se gives a sense of freshness and simplicity inspite of tackling a bold concept.

Playing an elderly woman, Suhasi Dhami looks more vibrant than ever and her comeback to TV with this show seems the right choice. Her subtlety takes over the whole promo and is perfectly complimented by Karan Jotwani’s playful behaviour.

The Not-So-Good

It would have been so much better if things weren’t literally said upfront enough in the promo in the form of dialogues. Be it the confession of having a 15 year old daughter or 24-42 game on cake, the blunt mouthing makes the promo less impactful than it would have been otherwise. Sometimes, unsaid words are just visual teasers work wonders.

The Verdict

With Suhasi Dhami’s roaring comeback to TV and Karan Jotwani’s young and chirpy vibe, Aapke Aa Jaane Se not only seems a step above on Indian TV, but also a pleasant watch.
