Nice to see you too😊
And I definitely will. It's just that the show is not giving fodder for any drabbles. Everything is so smooth between the leads- no conflict, no angst. The minute that starts, I will pen one down😉
Looks like your prayers are answered with Ananya frantically hunting for Akash..angst definitely on the way!!
And I am holding you to your OS promise😃
I will say this about Hindi shows- they don't integrate the romance smoothly into the general plot outline. It's fine if the show's premise itself is romance- the Mills and Boon's type. Because at least they're being honest, catering to the audience and delivering what they promised. I am watching a show like that on Sony, from a production house that revels in showing teenybopper romance. And I gleefully enjoy it😃 And it's not a problem if it's a saas-bahu show- because only a small segment watches for the romance. The show primarily has kitchen politics as its selling point.
Even me a sucker for romance and I know the show u r talking about .I watched a show earlier from the same production house and the chemistry between the leads was mesmerizing atleast to me. So, I watch here and there of this show on Sony but somehow I did not find it so interesting types and I am so bored of the same concept of rich guy fashion house and small town middle class girl falling for each other. Why for once cant it be the other way round?
But niche shows like Airlines and Everest need to negotiate properly between their themes and the customary romance bit. God knows I love my share of romance on TV. Face it, no movie or television show is incomplete without showing the mutual intimacies and the interpersonal relations of its protagonists. But it should not compromise with the vision of the maker and what they promised initially to the viewers.
Agree but till now I find Airlines romance comparatively balanced compared to Everest but given the new concept it endears me to it and even I have to bear the so thanda romance between the expressionless leads..And coming to expressions this hijack drama serial which seems to continue for ages and has been ruling the charts from since it started. The lady protagonist has been infront of cameras for years now and still seems does not even have 12 expressions on her face at least 1 a month maybe...They have made a joke of the thing called hijack and I don't know people who have actually faced it would react to it. At least they could have seen some videos of Discovery to see how hijacks are handled.
I am not watching Everest because whenever I see a glimpse of it, there's this very high-school type rivalry with two factions, or there's the guy with the cute dimples(whom I like😉) and a female lead with a limited range of expressions IMO😳. I am going to tune in at the fag end of the series when the actual expedition begins.
And amen to your last line- too many plots and sub-plots. Specifically, too many thrills. I was particularly disgruntled when they made Ananya the damsel in distress two episodes in a row😡
But what redeems this serial any day is that the leads are watchable- nay, lovable😃 Akash- we all know the reasons. And you and I particularly admire Ananya, I think😊 Though inflicted by the mahanta bug, she is very courageous and a woman of spirit, and has the right mix of naivety and intelligence. Give me a vulnerable, naive but ridiculously brave Ananya over Star Plus' bahus and beendhnis any day!!!
Yes, when it comes to Ananya we both like her and the reasons you well mentioned above.
