The story is predictable as most generic romantic dramas, but what sets it apart is the way it is told — in a simple and realistic manner. As a result, the freshness of this drama is sure to win brownie points with the audience for its originality as the story keeps you engaged.”Journey is over, but the story isn’t,” says one of the series’ quotes, and this perfectly sums up the premise of this three-part miniseries. The story revolves around Aarav, a quintessential small-town boy who is trying to blend in with the big city of Mumbai. He has no set plans for the future, but when he meets Tanya for the first time, his world is turned upside down. They were forced to share a berth as RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) passengers; at first, it was uncomfortable and awkward for them, but once they relaxed, they were able to mingle with ease.
But is it just about one journey, or do they develop an inseparable bond is what the series is all about?Both Ritvik Sahore and Gayatri Bhardwaj give delightful performances. Ritvik is convincing as a small-town lad who is unsure of what he wants to do with his life. His life goals aren’t consistent; they shift from one to the other depending on the situation, particularly after his meeting with Tanya. Gayatri Bhardwaj, on the other hand, is expressive from the first scene. She is effective as Tanya and establishes an instant rapport with the audience. Their on-screen chemistry isn’t particularly sizzling, but they certainly seem charming together.
