About commenting on two week old Gauri - I have said it more than four times already. It is better to say what one dislike now at the beginning than fret about it 2 months later when the character will be beyond ruination.

Yes you can consider it as a MIL rant for a son because my love for Omkara is platonic and I want the best for him, or at least something bearable. But do answer my question on what is the crux of their story? Surely not the baseless devotion you are equating to Lord Shiva and Sati. If this was a fantasy series I would have agreed with all the soul connection and stuff but this isn't one. This is a normal fiction series and people don't have premonitions about their love life like this. Misunderstandings are misunderstandings, they cannot form the crux of a story.

I am only seeing writers throwing together a bunch of random scenes in the name of love story like they actually don't have one but they have to run the show anyway. IshKara confrontation was the only scene I liked of them lol. Ishana didn't work out because of the same OTTness they are showing on Gauri, random dancing and the unbearable comic touch with the Bela- Mala which I am sure is going to be repeated on Chulbul - Gauri.

And finally maybe you can bear the OTTness of Gauri but that is subjective. There are hundreds of others who want her toned down too and I am one of them. There are people who cannot bear a comic character especially in the kind of serious situation in which DBO is set. The ML is engaged to his father's mistress post his mother's suicide attempt and the brothers are trying to prevent the danger looming around the family. The ML is in the middle of a dangerous game with a dangerous woman and amidst such intense plot, there comes the FL who is ruining the momentum with her not so amusing humour. I don't find it funny at all.

I would love to reply on three points here -

Crux of the story? woh...We are just 2 weeks into the story! Chillax. Soul connection can be in fiction shows as well. We have seen it in infinite number of fiction shows in tellywood. I hope you understand the difference between fantasy and fiction genre. Of course as you said, Soul connection, or star crossed lovers idea can not be the crux of the story. But it can very well be the theme of the story. (Rem IPK? I am huge fan of IPK which is Guls prev product. It had the same theme.)

Ishana-> Ishana didn't work because of OTT? Are you sure? That's too silly a reason for CVs to trim a character. It is a character aspect which they could have been modified without trimming. But they had to cut her because the character was not well developed and back story was lame most of the times. They wanted to give her a grey shades and play with a grey female lead for a male lead who embodies soul among the brothers. But they screwed up big time. Even during the last confrontation I was confused about the way she settled things and the moral balance of the character was in disarray. Well there might be hundred who felt she is OTT but there were few many who felt she was adorable with OTT, Just because OTT, indian telly wouldn't cut characters :). Then many of the current FL's of tellywood, would have been history.

If you combine these two points, may be CVs want to set up a FL for om who colludes with the evil. May be they are pushing Gauri to the grey area which they tried and failed with Ishana but with a difference. With Gauri we know the background and her moral dilemma unlike ishana. We have a more first hand view of it. May be they wanna set up Gauri as devil's wingman and put into a confrontation mode with om. It would be wise to wait for the CVs magic to tell you the Crux of the story than judging the show prematurely. Stories are made my small threads, don't just see a thread, see the whole picture.

OTT -> I personally don't think DBO is set in a serious situation. Its gonna be a romantic comedy with a truck load of vamps and villains. If you consider the OTT scale, Don't you think Rudra also rates high on that scale? Oh I forget only female leads are judged based on OTT. my bad.

My point -> I said, If you consider the OTT scale, Rudra rates high on that which is true. Out of Om Rudra and Shivaay, who is the OTT one? Om and Shivaay def rate low on that scale. It is a character trait of Rudra. Not a bad thing, overall Rudra is an extrovert. Same is the case with Gauri.

I don't want to point out a particular scene and say Gauri was OTT here and not an OTT there. Dancing in public is not for normal people(if you exclude flashmob), I have never seen anyone dancing around taxiwala's or on table top, But to add spice to the show, they include all sort of things and judging a character based on that is silly. You might not have liked any of the Govinda movies then :)
