The show sits in the zone where it is watchable and interesting in parts, but not strong enough to leave a lasting impact.
This review comes more from how the show feels than from the story itself, because the experience itself shapes the rating.
The series begins with Anandi and Arjun, two characters who immediately catch your attention. Anandi comes in with a quiet charm, someone trying to understand a world much bigger and darker than what she imagined. Arjun carries the tension of being born into politics, trying to balance expectations and his own discomfort. Their early scenes suggest depth, and this gives hope that the show might move into something powerful.
The shorter format helps the show maintain a quick pace, but it also cuts short the time needed for emotions to settle. Important moments come and go too quickly. Sometimes you feel the show is about to hit a high point, but then it shifts to the next scene before the feeling sinks in. This happens often enough to affect the overall impact.
Still, the show doesn’t completely lose the viewer. Some moments stand out, especially when Anandi and Arjun share the screen. Their dynamic is slow-building and believable. They don’t suddenly become close or dramatic; instead, they respond to each other in small, simple ways.
These little details help the series feel more real.
The political angle brings tension, but it’s not as sharp as it could be.
When the show focuses on these two, it feels more grounded and engaging.
But the uneven pace and short scenes hold the series back. You can see what the makers intended, but the execution doesn’t always match that intention. Some episodes feel strong, while others pass without leaving much of an impression.
Overall, CM Ki Dulhan is a mixed experience.
IWMBuzz Rating: 2.5/5
