When Telly Actors had a great fall...
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,Saath Phere,Woh Rehne Wali Mehelon Ki and Mamta - under the Telly Buzz scanner...
The last two days on Indian Television have been like a complete Blood Bath, with the creatives of popular shows, on the look out to exterminate some of their protagonists and villains. Much was talked about in the media, about the infamous death sequence that was to kill the popular jodi of Karan and Nandini, in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. But the viewers breathed a sigh of relief as Karan and Nandini , yet again emerged victorious, this time getting back from the claws of death. Next in line was Saath Phere. The latest ‘bad man’ on Indian Television - Sachin Shroff’s track came to an end with Abhi’s negative side being exposed and, he meeting his dreadful end. Millions of hearts broke when Aamir Ali quit Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki, this thus ended the character of the naïve and romantic - Saumya. Joining these 3 popular shows is Zee’s Mamta, where Vikram, the new villain in the show, is believed to be dead when his wrong doings were exposed in front of Krishna.
It was sheer Co incidence that the dates of the deadly episodes over lapped, but the irony doesn’t end here. The way, in which the accidents and death sequences were shot, were exactly the same. Falling off the cliff, clinging to a rope or a tree branch and hoping for some miracle to happen, were few scenes that really shook the viewers, to no end. The worst part was that, two of the shows showed the characters willingly committing suicide. Now let’s put these shows under the scanner, and take a closer look at the death sequences and the manner in which they were shot...

The Karan-Nandini death sequence was beautifully shot in snow, where Manthan tries to kill Nandini, thinking that she is the cause for his mom, Tanya’s miseries. Manthan’s car hits Nandini, and Nandini rolls over and falls off the cliff, and here enters Karan, to her rescue. A determined Karan tries his best to pull Nandini up, who is by now hanging on to a branch of a tree. In a dramatic turn of events, the branch breaks and along with Nandini, Karan too goes rolling over, hand in hand. Balaji Telefilms should get two thumbs up for shooting the scene beautifully. The wide angles, the close up shots, the ambience created, with the backdrop of snow on a moonlit night, were all simply spectacular. Hiten and Gauri too put up a brilliant performance in the accident scene.



Well, we have now come to the end of this roller-coaster ride across the mountains, hilly tops and cliffs. Hopefully, the actors involved in these scenes had a nice time paragliding. Now it is for the TRPs to speak, and the audience to react and talk about this ‘Over the Cliff’ drama that gets incorporated in every other serial. What’s more, these are just a few Edgy happenings that we have brought to your notice. It is upto you now to add on to the tally of such falls that have been shown, in the favorite serials that you have seen till date.
Now, start off with your own score folks- This is one more that we add on to our tally. Just few weeks back, Juhi Parmar who plays the character of Kumkum in Kumkum Ek Pyaara Sa Bandhan, was shown falling off the mountain….
Well, now over to you folks....

I think that aside from the (fake) snow in Kyunki the entire scene was awfully put together. The cliff turned into a raveen and then a gently sloped hillside!
When Nandaini is holding onto a branch it appears to be a cliff, whenthey fall in they look like they are at the bottom of a raveen and when they are rescued they climb up a gentle incline.
A first year student in drama school could have shot this better!
Ofcourse the icing on the cake was that Nandani was hit by a car thrown 20 feet in the air and is walking around with the usual banage to the head. In true Ekta style....Chote jahan bhi lagay bandage saar par laga
hai. I really she produces for the masses but its a pity she thinks the masses in her country are so ....gullable!

truly that karan-nandini scene was beautifully shot. the,expressions was great not unrealistic at all like mamta. speaking of mamta the show is going no where and whenever i watch it it makes me laugh. the porr screenplay and unrealistic sets are worth laughing ate. even the good actors can't bring the show track.
