Change Sandhya or end the serial

[gp281979 · 4/10 · 4 August 2014]

Sandhya, who should have been leading the serial is the one whose acting is worse than any other character in the serial. Especially since the training has begun her acting has become poor. Suraj, Bhabo, babusa, emily, etc characters are all acting far better than Sandhya.

Being a police commissioner, she should be showing strong will and at least some amount of dignity which is totally lacking.....She should be justifying her role as a police commissioner as well as a saada seeda bahu and if she put some effort in her acting, it may not be that hard to achieve.... Just tired of seeing her boring expressions or lack of expressions I might say episode after episode......She is just behaving like a bahu and not at all convincing her role as a police commissioner PERIOD. Being commissioner of police, nobody is afraid of her, not even the constables. Kavitha is acting smart and creating troubles in Sandhy's life and Sandhya is not behaving more than any ordinary bahu, even after going through such hard training to become an IPS officer....It is not at all realistic....

Garbage

The show has lost all meaning after Sandhya became a police officer, it has fallen from an average show to a show that drags the hell out of itself. The characters are useless, the themes are useless, the actors can't act, it is a waste of airing time and the amount of time that someone monologues is plain retardation. The story in itself is predictable and can literally end in the most clichéd way possible. Don't get me started on the crappy repetitive soundtrack. At least show a diverse atmosphere instead of a dead one. All this show is good for is keeping a dead horse living through lame story lines. What's even worse is the amount of times they transition to other characters, having characters frozen in one shot is bloody ridiculous. It is like as if they had lost their budget to afford other expressions.

nice

it could be strange to expect more from an Indian series who propose a classic recipe, with few significant characters, a love story, few dramas, drops of tension, large family and a young woman as police officer. and, sure new characters for maintain the rhythm of a never ending story. so, many good intentions. and a very precise target.

Useless !

[vadnagra · 1/10 · 16 February 2022]

Sooraj's character has been shown to be a simpleton, but in reality he's manipulative and spineless !!! Sandhya's acting is so bad that she does no justice to the role ! Had to fast forward each time Sooraj opened his mouth. His dialogues never matched his expressions. Wonder if he ever went to acting school. Sandhya should have done some voice training. Most of the tim3 she sounded like a male kid.

What a waste of time ! I'm surprised that the overall rating is even at 3 stars. It should be a 1 star. The only 2 people who did justice in their roles were Bhabho and Meenakshi.

Overrated af

[justinemsiddiqui · 1/10 · 17 May 2023]

The lead actress cannot act... She was given a strong role.. you're playing a cop take command over it....she wants to be an IPS but God she cannot do anything without her husband... How is a trained officer always saved by her husband is beyond me... Sometimes when she's angry her expressions ar like she's about to burst into tears ... Secondly the role of the husband he's shown as a godly saintly man who should be revered but everytime he's like you're an officer because of me. Also his expressions are like he's guilty of a crime... And the traditions they follow such weird traditions where no matter what the wife does she's nothing without her husband....the family has pure evil characters who's crimes are forgiven all the time but because the lead actress has to be shown as a legend she's punished for littlest of things... She never really stands up for her rights and becomes a cry baby because she doesn't want to disrespect girl, you are supposed to fit for yourself too.. there was a sequence where she flies a helicopter and drops a nuclear bomb in the ocean... Can you imagine that... Who even wrote that... Finally the song... The title tracks keeps playing every 2 mins cause they have no proper dialogues or chemistry.

Diya aur baati is the best serial ever

[kanikan · 10/10 · 29 May 2020]

Diya aur Baati is the best serial ever produced. It has the perfect story, perfect direction and excellent actors. This serial is love!!!!!! The main leads, Deepika and Anas, totally nail it. The actress who plays Bhabho is so good. The soundtrack is perfect.

Training Program Episodes - A Total Let-Down

[myellepeddi · 6/10 · 22 April 2014]

Sandhya's training at the academy was very poorly construed and a big disappointment. The terrorist part was unnecessary and laughable. The handful of terrorists hardly looked dangerous and their firearms looked like Diwali bombs!! While they were all gunned down (should not have been shown in a family drama) by trainee officers, not a single officer suffered even a scratch!

Sandhya's success in the Academy is a foregone conclusion and the need for a trophy was not there at all. I'm sure no one would have selected Pushkar as their choice and Sandhya would have been assigned there naturally as her first choice. It is not a capital or even a city to compete about!! The entire run for the trophy was baseless and childish - not worthy of future commissioners of police.

The charm of Diya aur Baati is in its simplicity and honesty and the last few weeks have been a total disaster. The lengthy speeches in praise of Sandhya's brilliant performance were boring and uncalled for. She did not impress throughout the program and did so in a hurry only towards the end to convince the viewers that she deserved the prize!The only saving grace was the impressive acting by the actor essaying the role of Zakir. Rahul & Roma were also fairly convincing. Hope the serial picks up on Sandhya's return home - the script writers appear more comfortable at Pushkar!

[akshujindal · 10/10 · 5 June 2021]

This show is not like other drama shows It tells us about the determination to get your dream the duty of a husband to his wife and a wife to her husband It is a inspiration based on a life of IPS officer.

The best serial indian television ever has produced

[wwwboro · 10/10 · 25 December 2020]

No one can replace this serial. The best show. Best melodrama, best casting, best acting of Bhabho, Sandhya n Suraj. Perfect representation of reality n Rajasthani culture. No superpower given to the characters of this serial like other shows. Most raw n best show

Best family show which show Indian family values

[bigakash · 10/10 · 4 June 2021]

This show is not like the other Saas-Bahu Drama shows. This show perfectly portrayed indian family and their culture although some characters are showed too negative like Meena, Mohit and Chhavi. But Sandhya and Sooraj showed us how to live for each other. Most bollywood films shows the initial stories of life like college and then love life and then marriage and then the story ends But this show has displayed the common life after the marriage . It taught how to live life with our lifepartner and how to support each other in their life. Specially the Sooraj's character was too good in the serial. When everyone was against his wife Sandhya, he was the only one who support her at every level even fullfilled her dream of becoming IPS officer. Sandhya's character was also very good, she perfectly played her role of a wife, mother and a police officer. She also supported her husband evertime and even inspired him to become worlds top cook. They taught us the ideal behaviour of a couple and their life. Althogh the climax or ending of the serial was too dramatic.

The background songs and tones are perfectly used in many scenes which sometimes made us very emotional.
