This same creative team killed all the interesting characters of CB.........I don't think that I need to go into the details. What I find strange is that both Zee and DJs also made Banegi apni Baat way back in the 1990's that was a good show and was a hit during that time. Although they did drag it for some time.......I think it went on for 4-5 years . If DJs and Zee can make that show then that means they have it in them to make good long lasting shows. So what changed? Does this mean that DJs wanted to establish themselves then and hence gave all their efforts but now since they are a known PH, they do not care anymore for the story and only interested in short term TRP gains to make quick bucks? Does this mean that Zee does not have thinking power and the far-sightedness now that it had about 20 years back?
Like you I am also looking forward to complex roles but am afraid of the treatment that these characters will be given.
I am not familiar with the show you have mentioned, but heard it from others. I think success and money can sometimes kill that initial creativity. Really, hope that they don't have creative team of CB that killed that show and responsible for other crappy shows of DJs. Also, Zee's management at that time may have been different. Didn't the guy who brought Agle Janam and CB to Zee left Zee and that's when the downfall happened?
Going by Pardes rumors, it seems that this time Dev will be beholden to his family and try to sacrifice his love. All that is fine as long as they don't make like Abhay who stayed in PB and became so unlikeable. So far, I don't have much hopes from DJs especially looking at the material they are churning out these days.
The only hope I have is that nothing of DJs or Zee's is working out at this moment. Their greed for short-term profit is hurting them now. So, hopefully they have realized that they have already lead actors who have tremendous chemistry and good acting skills given the opportunity. So, they need to use them in a right way and get a new creative team. Towards the end of CB, everyone in the cast (Avinash, Rubina, Rita Bhaduri etc.) looked as bored with the script as the audience were. Lets hope that this doesn't happen now.
