@arshifan,Agree that the initial promo painting of Madhu's face in the clouds is really good. I always maintain that Art Direction of MEIEJ team is certainly imaginative. That's one thing why without even knowing one's attention gets a hold no matter how stupid or clunky the story looks. But that's about it. I think MEIEJ story visuals are most beautifully captured by the VM makers.Did you watch all VMs made my Charu ? I have to go and watch the latest one created by Charu. Charu just captures what came out best as Take Home for her. I think ART of watching Teleserials, is not be enslaved by negativity, but be inspired by the creativity of the team when it does good in any soap, not just limiting to one soap, and also be rejuvenated by emotional empathy when it is stirred within us. When it gets negative, we can stop watching it for sometime. And as Zoya says, one should resist going to threads and posts that add turmoil and negativity to our mind rather than being a gaining or relaxing effort for us. On the other hand, such threads and posts are purely a dumping ground for excited viewers. So it boils down to us to control whether we want to get excited or want relaxation.
Totally agree with you Shri, actually since I started being active in Madhubala forum, I kept saying that no need for so much speculations and so much negativity especially when it's too anticipated and before even the track unfolds, we watch shows to enjoy them, to get entertained and not to get a high blood pressure, One should learn to appreciate the beautiful things shown in a tv serial and avoid the negative ones if they are not extremely irritating and can be still bearable.
You can't even imagine the storm that the precap of few seconds about "the heroine centric movie" created and that even before the episode is aired!!!!
Actually I'm of this kind of people who watch a tv show in one go generally I watch already ended serials or serials with already 100 episodes aired, and I can't tell you how much I enjoy that, because I know that my suspens won't last for long just the time I press the button play of the next episode, and I just feel hooked and pleased, this happened when I watched the 250 first episodes of IPKKND 1 and when I watched the 120 first episodes of MEIEJ, the continuous magic was there, but once you catch up with the real time episodes, the 20min episode isn't enough to quench your thirst so you need to come to forum to discuss about your favorite shows but at your own risk bcause if you enjoy reading others thoughts, you might also come across the speculations, spoilers, negative thoughts and all this kind of reduce the fun.
What irritates me more is a lot of family drama and OTT saas-bahu things with sidelining the story of the lead couple, this is maybe the only reason that might push me to quit watching a show, otherwise I always like to stick till the end to something I've started watching , for example the only show I quit is Pyaar ka dard hai because although still getting a good Trps but I just got bored of the bahu who is always in mission to solve the problems of her sasural and their was no progress in her relashionship with her husband, so it got so boring.
MEIEJ is a unique show when you compare it to other shows, I know it had its ups and downs too, but it's still watchable and enjoyable, the only thing they should do is stick to the leads charcterisation "smart, arrogant Rk with heart now as we can't get back to square n1" and " courageous Madhu with values", they can also show some improvment in their characters, Madhu should for example learn that her way is not always the right way and Rk should keep his ego but not at the expense of his smartness.
Well for me I'm looking forward for the heroine track, I think it has a great potential and many nice things can come out of it, and the team who gave us the the golden episodes of MEIEJ can recreate the magic once again especially when it's about the show's main track, so I think they have already thought of many appealing things about it.
P.s : although I was a silent reader of the EDT for many months , but I always liked your reviews, very deep, unique, critical but at the same time without having negativity, a chilled out reviews.
ETA : Actually I haven't watched Charu's Vms as I didn't know she is making Vms, Charu please give me the link to your youtube channel.
