Tu Dhadkan Mein Dil," which premiered on Star Plus on June 23, 2025, at 7 PM, features a deeply emotional father-daughter narrative. Starring Sourabh Raaj Jain as rockstar Raghav Kumar and Aaradhya Patel as the spirited Dil, the show aims to stand out amid Star Plus's recent struggles with new offerings. The main question is whether it can break free from the familiar “father-child-daughter-music” template or risk feeling repetitive.
**Star Plus’s Challenges**
Star Plus, once a leader in iconic dramas, has faced difficulties in recent years. While long-running shows like "Pandya Store" continue to attract viewers, newer series, such as "Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si," have not performed well, often criticized for their predictable plots. "Tu Dhadkan Mein Dil" bears similarities to the earlier hit "Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala," leading some viewers to call for more originality.
The father-daughter trope, though common, has potential for uniqueness here. Dil seeks to reunite her family by connecting with her father, Raghav. The promos emphasize themes of innocence and transformation, reminiscent of "Beauty and the Beast." However, the familiar setup could alienate audiences looking for original content.
**Saurabh Raaj Jain’s Performance**
Saurabh Raaj Jain brings star power from his roles in "Mahabharat" and "Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev." His portrayal of Raghav has received praise for its nuance. Still, his recent work has been inconsistent, with mixed reviews of his reality show appearances and criticism of his anchoring on Zee News. This leaves questions about his ability to carry the emotional depth needed for "Tu Dhadkan Mein Dil."
**Prospects and Audience Reception**
The show promises a cinematic experience, with high production values and an emotional core, bolstered by Aaradhya Patel’s compelling performance. Saurabh’s personal connection to the role as a father adds authenticity and fuels fan excitement on social media.
However, the risk of a "been there, done that" perception remains. While some viewers commend the show’s start, expectations for Saurabh to elevate the narrative are high. With music integral to the plot, comparisons to earlier shows are likely. In a competitive 7 PM slot, "Tu Dhadkan Mein Dil" must carve out its distinct identity to avoid blending into a series of less successful offerings.
