Tell me which Indian television shows have logic to them including reality shows. American soap operas have no logic whatsoever.

Ekta Kapoor shows have no logic to them but because of her strong star power she is able to pull crowds in through marketing, doing public appearances. Same circular storyline.........

Even American Famous TV shows do not have logic......otherwise would not been call fiction. For instance...American comedy series Friends.......all these actors in the show lived in expensive Manhattan apartments yet how were they able to afford it......like wise their clothing also.....but people love it including me. I know I am comparing apples and oranges here, but also remember two products are not always the same. Main problem with creatives are same as before....disorganization, false marketing or not enough marketing, not enough support from DJs. Sort of "slide by attitude" since Avinash & Rubina are in it will draw in crowds so lets not pay attention to it. Story is getting better from before after our feedbacks.....My hope is hopefully they will continue to improve more without our feedback..........

CD, thanks. I was getting that hunch by watching yesterday's precap that was repeated today. Then Avinash's interview mentioned it. Today's episode increased that likelihood of doing something like that unless the ratings go down and they change the track again.

They advertised it such for the existing fans who would have complained about it. But then their love for short-term TRPs came in the way and suddenly everything seems to have changed. Remember they got really good TRPs in the first 2 weeks but then they ruined the ratings by making PF all pagals (as Misti calls it) and must have thought in their peabrains to change the track that could bring quick TRPs. So why not rectangle since the traingle worked so well in CB1. Here we can have two triangles around Dev and Radhika and hence this rectangle thing they are working with.

The problem with the execution and story is that it makes it really hard to like Dev and Radhika and root for their love. In CB1, everyone had tremendous sympathy for both as Dev got cheated by all the Shastri women and Radhika was helpless. Her truth was delayed but there was a logic in it and so Radhika for the most part generated a lot of sympathy for her plight. Even though they remained separate, you could understand their spiritual relationship.

Here it is hard to see that when both are made puppets and dumb for no reason. So they are imposing CB1's scenarios on CB2 even though both are different shows with different circumstances. This senseless imposition is ruining the story as well as the characters.

Even by taking this show in an episodic manner, it is hard to watch the entire show. I end up fast forwarding a lot of it everyday and this is just the second month of the show. It happened with CB1 in the second year for me.

I agree with you that Avina will draw in initial crowd, but after that they need good script. That has been proven by bollywood stars. I agree that Deeya has no interest in CB. Can't compare two shows because both of them are different. Both my mom and I are enjoying thus far. I understand that at times they had weak script. But they're improving......one has to give credit to Zee. I am not saying that CB is flawless. Now tell me which primetime show in Indian television is logical. "all of sudden long lost twin brother shows up, woman attempting to burn mother in law, uncles/aunts abusing niece. As far as daydreaming goes.....well you have to see the situation and the character. This is how he expresses himself. Many Indian dramas have that. Lately even hindi movies have daydreaming songs. This is cliche......for years bollywood was known for that. Over the years we have been enjoying that daydreaming scenes. As far as Radhika's character......she was instantly attracted to Dev and then when she came to realize that she is married, hence she is shown feeling extremely guilty of having that feeling. A child is told that she is married and for 12 years she has been waiting for her husband. As grown she would feel guilty that she is attracted to someone else.

As you said you had stopped watching Friends, I have also stopped watching shows that did not interest me anymore.

This is just my opinion. I have attempted to see other Zee shows non of them have given that satisfaction as CB. This is because of Avinash and Rubina's act. This new storyline is allowing them to explore their own talents further. Both of them have changed their style of acting, I am sure you have noticed that. This is just my opinion. One thing surprise me was Mansaram's line his excitement about addressing Radhika's KK and his absence for 12 yrs and reappears of diary. Well everybody was yearning for another CB......now we got it. Lets wait and see..........& hope for the best.

Thank you, Why3 for saving me the trouble of writing fm my bb. My thoughts replicated exactly.

Thanks Viprakshi and Chalhov for the link.

I hv only 1 question - does a marriage have to be only about bride/groom swap? Why not a straight-forward celebration of a loving couple? Let the CVS answer that, if they dare!
