By Anil Merani| Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal seems to be a good werewolf show. Critics call it Vampire Dairies copy, but I have not seen the former, so here goes.
I liked the pace with which the story unfolds. Gashmeer Mahjani, aka Veer Oberoi acts well, putting on restraint on his natural self of sucking human blood (remember Bhediya film ending ), But his past catches up with him with younger brother Veer ( Karan Kundra) out to settle scores for stealing his love who resembles Isha ( Reem Shaikh) .
Veer starts killing in the idyllic town where decades back, fellow werewolf ( Arjun Bijlani) was killed for having the nerve to fall in love with a human gal.
Werewolves even have the power to erase memory, Veer erases everyone’s memory when Arman’s truth comes out during the solar eclipse.
Isha is your prototype heroine, who has just lost her parents and hides her true hurt feelings while her younger brother does drugs to deal with his pain.
Her best friend, Mehak( Vaishnavi Dhanraj), hails from a family who can detect evil. Vamp Cherry (who joins hands with Veer) and completes the trio of friends.
There needs to be an explanation of how Arman lands at Isha’s college.
The music is excellent and hummable.
Regarding acting, all three main casts remain true to their characters Esha, ms goody two-foot, Arman, who has a lot to hide, and Veer, out to take revenge. Good casting call by producer Yash and Mamta Patnaik
Good to see the maker showing Esha also having a prior relationship, so the virginal aspect of the female lead being finally set aside
Interestingly when Arman goes to Esha’s house at night, her massi does not protest or is not seen (relatively modern Indian family)
The town elders and cop smell a rat and want to finish this werewolf threat.
The pace is too fast at places where we need help getting all the equations.
Also, till now, we have not seen either Veer or Arman turning into wolves here; only their eyes turn white, and fang come out.
The thrice-a-week forty-five-minute telecast schedule is an exciting innovation allowing for more dramas to unfold.
So far, the story is good, but we need to wait and watch as the plot opens hope it remains appealable even then. 3/5
