BALH has become lukewarm and boring

For the first time in months I chose to go to bed before 10.30pm instead of staying up with a hot cappuccino and winding down for my daily, much-awaited 'alone time' with Bade Acche Lagte Hain. For me, the show has definitely lost its spark. There's too much of comfort and understanding between Raya, as if they know each other for years. They are still newlyweds – they need to learn and explore a lot more about each other. Agreed, they are both mature and have confessed their love, but they are not beyond the initial stages of closeness as yet. There can be many moments of fun and romance with misunderstandings and making up. I was more than disappointed about the dreary way in which the much anticipated "Ram" scene was executed. Priya was excellent, but was not even rewarded for her effort with Ram's famous, standard, fatherly, bear hug. How poor!!! A natural instinct would be to pull your wife into your arms tightly and appreciate her attempt (at least), knowing that it was a difficult change to make. We all imagined a thousand romantic ways in which this could have been handled better. In fact, the only truly romantic scene (except for the occasional, silly bear hug!) after the C-night was the "sacchi" scene, and they did not even touch each other there. This means that both Ram and Priya have the ability to light up the screen with their electrifying rapport and sparks of romance. Unfortunately, the show is now portraying Ram and Priya to be an old married couple, and if not skilfully controlled with caution, they have the potential of getting there very quickly considering that Raya are not exactly as spritely as their counterparts. I'm not sure if Ekta Kapoor considers the bond of marriage as an impediment or obstruction to passion, desire and romance, or believes that married people are unenthusiastic buffoons! In the case of marriage, there is definitely life after death!!! In addition, they 'baby' track is far too premature (excuse the pun!). I feel that both Ram and Priya need a little more time together to explore each other as individuals. Their relationship has not been developed into an unbreakable bond as yet – they still need time to do this. Adding to it, we have all the peripheral tracks (Harry, Ayesha, evil trio etc.) which are being given too much screen time and attention resulting in less consideration to expand Raya's adjustments to marriage and personal tracks. I must admit, the CVs are killing the passion of the lead characters and if this continues for any much longer, instead of the 'most desirable couple' award, our Ram and Priya may just end up deserving the 'oldest & most boring couple' award next year!!!

Take heed, o' ye CVs, take heed……….

Seriously it is getting cold. There is no romance, no emotional scenes. The way Priya wiped Ram.s sweat, he didn't even touch her but the way his expressions changed showed the gratitude he has for her and also what he has missed for such a long duration of his life, both his mom's love, care and the love showered by his woman. That was enough for us. Just a spark for the night to end well. When I see scenes like that I get so excited that I have to struggle to sleep coz I wanna know what people are doing in IF. Now I sleep immediately coz I know there is nothing jaw-dropping over here.

Agree with all your points ...Somehow EK has managed to dampen and dullen the very charm of BALH that had captivated many a hearts initially.. Post C night there is distinct lack of chemistry between Raya and the relationship seems to one like married for a long time and seen several moons..
Agree that parallel tracks are hogging more screen space; But what is exasperating is the CVs are totally ineffecient and dumb in not having contingency plans if the main leads are occupied otherwise..
Cant they pace and shoot in advance those scenes that require Sakshi and Ram together and intersperse them with all those side characters. This way it wont look like a lag in the show, or the need to show Ram and Priya in seperate shots or their BDs..
Also the parallel tracks can be made more interesting rather than dishing out them like fillers..
In totality BALH seems to be heading for a disaster unless the CVs and Ek do something drastic about it..This is my POV..

During that holi scene, where a spoiler came out about a shower scene, I read somewhere that only 2 episodes are kept in advance. They don't seem to be having episode banks. If that is the issue, what would they do if something is not well with any of the leads and are unavailable for quite a long time. Donno whats up.

That's when we get to see the evil trio and an overload of the Sharma house. 😉

Oh yes, Chitra, it was stated that such a scene was indeed shot, but guess with so much negativity and criticisms, post C night they must have scrapped it..
But yes the CVs must sit down and do something about this absence of main leads for long periods of time.. Such a scenario calls for planning, shooting, intergrating and seemlessly presenting a show that will have all the elements that have captured the eyballs of the viewers so far..
ALAS!!!! BT and EK and CVs have got a bad case of mental impasse and amnesiac brain concerning BALH..
I consider this a step motherly treatment by the creatives..
LoL! I have ranted and given in to venting my frustration over my fav serial getting ruined like this..
