Remember the early 2010s when Mahhi Vij could cry one tear and the entire India would flood? Remember when Parth Samthaan walked on screen and half the country forgot how to breathe? Colors thought slapping these two nostalgia nukes together in “Sehar Hone Hai” would auto-explode the TRP meter.
Plot twist: the meter yawned.Because darling, 2025 aunties have evolved. They’ve survived 47 memory-loss tropes, 89 reincarnation tracks, and one pandemic that made them binge Netflix. They don’t want Mahhi playing yet another woman who forgets her husband after a truck hits her soul (but somehow remembers perfect winged eyeliner). They don’t want Parth brooding in slow-mo for the 127th time while a sad violin cries harder than the heroine.The show served 2015 ka masala in 2025 ki thali and expected us to lick it clean. Beta, humara taste bud upgrade ho gaya hai.Mahhi Vij still slays, Parth still sets hearts on fire, but even Shah Rukh Khan can’t save a script that feels like Ekta Kapoor’s old hard drive having a seizure. The promos screamed “same wine, older bottle” and the audience collectively replied, “Bhai hum whiskey pe aa gaye hain.”Moral of the story? Star power is rocket fuel, but if your story is a 1998 Maruti 800 with new seat covers, nobody’s getting in—no matter how shiny the celebrities on the poster are.Sehar hone hai? Sorry Colors, sehar toh kab ka ho gaya… audience ka.
