What makes a romantic drama nice leisure? It ought to have charismatic leads and a joyous love story, with equal components ardour and pathos. The concept is to observe two folks meet one another, falling hopelessly in love and overcoming unimaginable obstacles. It’s a style that is pleasant to expertise – capturing the heady aroma of romance. But, if you begin watching the third season of Broken But Beautiful, the ALTBalaji collection, which introduced the heartwarming love story of Veer (Vikrant Massey) and Sameera (Harleen Sethi) within the final season, you’re going to get heat and heat. And miss happiness.
Broken But Beautiful 3, as you possibly can in all probability guess from the title, is about unrequited love. However, as an alternative of exploring its magnificence, the net collection reveals a poisonous relationship between its lead Agastya (Siddharth Shukla) and Rumi (Sonia Rathi). Agastya is a bully, an alcoholic theater director and a dishonest particular person. Rumi is a spoiled wealthy brat who has just one objective in life: to make her childhood crush Ishaan (Ehaan Bhatt) fall in love together with her. She hurls abuses on the ladies in Ishaan’s life and for her each woman who comes near him is now a ****. When the worlds of those flawed creatures collide, you anticipate some fireworks to occur, however a poorly written script comes between them.
Today, if you get to see some splendidly written flawed characters like Ajibhi Dastan and Bombay Begum, Rumi and Agastya lack depth. You get to know them solely on the floor. It appears writers Shazia Malik and Sharifa Roy did not care or love their characters as why they need to; They simply put them via the motions. And to see them was neither escapist nor enjoyable – the important side behind this model. In reality, their intimate moments and their kisses appear gross and disgusting. For me, a die-hard fan of the style, it was simply unhappy not to have the ability to spend money on the characters and their journey.
For the primary 4 episodes it was tough to distinguish between Agastya of Broken But Beautiful 3 and Sidharth Shukla of Bigg Boss. He was precisely such as you noticed him in Bigg Boss 13 – haughty, autistic, bad-tempered and a toxic man-child. At one level, Rumi referred to as Agastya “cheap Kabir Singh” and I could not agree extra. The whole journey of Shukla’s character is crammed with three heroes of Bollywood dramas in a single, and that is no exaggeration both. He begins out as Kabir Singh, then transforms into Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar’s Jordan and finally turns into the Zen model of Jab We Met’s Aditya.
However, when it comes to efficiency, Shukla has finished a superb job. The blame for not with the ability to join along with his character goes to the writers who did not give him sufficient flesh to carry the character to life on display screen. But for his followers, the net collection is a winner as they get to see their ‘superhero’ as a result of they like him.
Same is the case with Sonia Rathi. She stays as convincing as Rumi for probably the most half. She succeeds in bringing that bitter feeling to you however then, you possibly can by no means join together with her.

Seasons one and two stars Veer (Massey) and Sameera (Sethi) have a particular look, and the second you see them, the hollowness of Rumi and Agastya’s story makes you are feeling much more tough. The hopeless romantic in me would have most popular to re-watch the emotional roller-coaster of Broken But Beautiful Season 1 and a couple of as an alternative of this lifeless love saga.
However, the one factor that retains you going for ten episodes is music. Like the primary two seasons, right here you additionally get some soulful romantic shows at a very powerful turning level of the story. Maybe you possibly can simply take pleasure in soulful playlists as an alternative of sitting in lengthy episodes. Congratulations to Amaal Malik, Akhil Sachdeva, Vishal Mishra and Sandman for delivering the long-awaited authentic music album.
Also, I simply need to know from all of the filmmakers: ‘What is it about filling youth tales with booze and slang?’ ‘Why are youth seen as drunkards and unhealthy folks?’ Is this the one solution to present ‘fashionable’ folks? Here too, you’d by no means have seen ‘artist’ Agastya and not using a bottle of low-cost liquor. He even drinks his girlfriend’s beer shampoo to ease the ache of his heartbreak! Rumi additionally all the time resorts to alcohol when she needs to flee from the fact of her life.
Overall, the romantic souls ready for Broken But Beautiful 3 can return to the final two seasons because it won’t fulfill the need to see a pleasant love story.
