Dreamiyata Entertainment introduces a refreshing vibrancy to the Punjabi backdrop with its new show on Colors TV, Tuu Juliet Jatt Di. The show presents an intriguing college-set romantic drama, something we have not seen in recent times.
Tu Juliet Jatt Di deserves praise for its refreshing vibe, particularly resonating with today’s youth. The saying “opposites attract” rings true for the main characters, who are as different as chalk and cheese in their outlook on life. This contrast makes them quite endearing, especially coupled with the well-crafted personas of Nawab Brar and Heer.
Both Nawab and Heer share a strong determination to reach their goals, but they approach the journey in very different ways. Heer is dedicated and willing to put in the hard work and study, necessary to achieve her aspirations. In contrast, Nawab has a more carefree attitude, shaped by his upbringing in a wealthy and prosperous family.
Her aspirations are profoundly driven by her desire to create a better life for her mother and sister, freeing them from the grip of their toxic, alcoholic father. Nawab, who struggles academically, dreams of making it big as a successful cricketer.
The show explores a multitude of themes simultaneously—such as toxicity, class disparities, personal ambitions, and hidden agendas—all woven into the overarching narrative of a love story that evolves from hatred.
Heer’s father is toxic, and the family’s tumultuous relationship is strikingly apparent, especially with scenes depicting him physically abusing his wife. In contrast, the Brar family presents a more laid-back dynamic between Dilip and Gulab. However, Gulab is not quite what she seems. While she initially appears to be a devoted and attention-seeking mother and wife, she cleverly wields her influence with a blend of charm and manipulation.
The show features an energetic title track, complemented by impressive background music. A standout moment occurs during the party sequence when Nawab saves Heer, showcasing some exceptional camera work. However, the creative choices made in the plot are a bit hard to swallow, particularly the idea that Heer and Nawab, despite numerous close encounters, have managed to remain unaware of each other’s identities.
The idea of an unplanned marriage set in a college environment, starting with mutual disdain and gradually evolving into love, creates a captivating viewing experience. However, we sincerely hope this intriguing premise doesn’t turn into yet another run-of-the-mill saas-bahu drama.
When it comes to performances, Sangita Ghosh stands out, taking on a role that is quite different from her usual choices. She embodies a complex character—a devoted wife and a mother who craves attention while trying to control her household in her own unique way. Sangita truly delivers what the role demands, bringing depth and authenticity to her performance.
Jasmeet Kaur exudes confidence, much like Heer. She truly doesn’t appear to be a newcomer to television from any perspective. Syed Raza Ahmed looks good alongside Jasmeet, but he could benefit from refining his individual acting skills.
Digvijay Purohit and Sangita Ghosh share a refreshing chemistry in the show, especially in contrast to the overwhelming toxicity displayed in the other family. Shefali Rana excels, while Madan Tyagi effectively brings his character to life. Alisha Parveen, playing the Nawab’s close friend, is also quite endearing.
Tu Juliet Jatt Di, which is on Colors TV, has kicked off with an engaging college setting that is sure to attract a young audience. However, there is a pressing need to develop more relatable storylines instead of relying heavily on fanciful and wild themes to showcase romance.
We at IWMBuzz.com give Tu Juliet Jatt Di 3 stars out of 5.
