Amar Prem is a disappointing saga of Love. At least that’s what I figured out after reading it. The story deals how Kobi experienced love for the first time in his life. A bala-lu day is celebrated in the forest every year much like Valentine’s Day in cities. On this day friends or lovers take their partner’s problems on self and showcase their love and affection. Then suddenly, out of nowhere Bheriya remembers Sukanya, his first love. Now, as he has accidentally remembered her from heart and she will be back…
It’s awfully long with geek dozes of lengthy and heavy dialogues so often that anyone would feel pissed off. The artwork and coloring is really bad… so much so that the Editor himself has fired the Artist concerned. It shows that Mr. Gupta is now more serious about the quality of comics published by RC.
Even if I say, the story is long, I must admit that the plot is nice considering the story arc of this Bheriya series… but a 30 or rather 25 page story would have been a much better option keeping in mind the pace of the story which gets dull at times. I hope the next title will be better.

Dear Writer,
I don’t agree with you review.
I think Amar-Prem is a fairly good comic.
Certainly a 3.5/5 overall.
I liked it a lot, its much better then many issues published at this point.
Artwork is crap, i agree.

Maybe that’s your point of review Ajay & I totally appriciate it…
But I must also add at the same time that a comics is not just a story but a visual one… Everything counts. The comics has a bad artwork as you said but even some very lengthy & filmy dialogues… and believe me when a new reader reads such comic he will surely doze off…
As you might have noticed, I liked the plot by heart… but a 42 pages for this issue is simply TOO MUCH LONG… RC is improving & evolving constantly. They are even experimenting with the stars for instance Inspector Steel who just fetured on RC calender looks awesome… So why they are taking out just SPCL issues… If the story is short they can simply make it a GENL issue & that would benifit a lot in keeping the pace of the comic…
And considering all these, ( And comparing this title with previous Bheriya Comics like Kobi Dakshina & Guru Bhokal ) I was forced to award it just 2.0 points.
