After the dull opening of kajol and twinkle khanna’s chat show two much, varun dhawan and alia bhatt stirred things up quite a bit in the second episode. Varun and alia began their acting careers togeether in 2012’s student of the year and have since appeared in 3 movies toge, as well as in interviews and other chat shows.
There’s an easy, chill chemistry between the two that Never Gets Old, Where they Call Each Other Out on Litle Lies and Reveal Harmless Secrets from Set. It makes the second episode so much more entertaining and enjoyable, like a little reunion between two friends who have finally found the time to clear his schedules and catch up with. They won’t do a film togeether, but at least we get them on a chat show!
Alia and Varun’s Reunion
Varun even admits that he has not met alia in so long that he does not want to discus any of her bad habits on set. Even with this disclaimer, the constant bickering on the show continued unabated. Yet, there was also a shift in the way they addressed Each other and talked about themselves. This shift is certainly due to the fact that they are now parents to baby Daughters. Varun Reveals that witnessing the birth of his baby has brought about a Profound Change in Him, and alia adds that they were just discussing this before the show began. It is a sweet moment, suggesting how this friendship has evolved over the Years. These two are not the same students who had debuted in the karan johar film; They are so much more than that.
They are no longer the restless, Constantly Talking Over One Another Type Anymore- When alia Speaks, Varun is keenly all ears. And when Varun recounts an awkward family situation during his marriage, alia is the one who pats heam back. “I am crying, that’s a hilarous story,” she adds. Her Unabashed Laughter Still remains the same. The best parts of the episode are when both alia and varun discuses their kids, and how much their everyday decisions revolve around them. Alia asks the two hosts if the guilt of going to work and leaving their children at home ever goes away, and they say it Never does.
What doesn’t work
That being said, the second Episode Lacks Rhythm, and the Introductory Food-Gazing Table Section Really needs to go away. Alia does not need to eat a french fry to prove she can eat one. It’s awkward. The hosts did not really get to talk here, as varun and alia were the only the conversation forward, often jumping from one increasent to another. There were many institutes when alia and varun asked questions back, and twinkle took a backseat to let kajol respond to them. Alia also let it out from the persian It would have been so much more fun Had Alia and Varun Asked Each Other Questions Intead.
Two Episodes Down, two much does not really feel too much. There is no overload of sorts with the questions and back -and-forth sections in the show, while kajol and twinkle are often passive listeners, and in some cases, in some cases, are merely seen laughed at the joke Conversation Ahead. It is a cut-second frameing, where the conversation is broken down to fit the format; There is no real, organic flow to it. I wonder if the Irony lies in my expecting too much from a show that is named two much.
