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 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.

Seriously I do not want to drag this discussion and my post too. I am satisfied that my post achieved it's purpose of bringing out people who are actually disappointed with this and giving them a platform to voice their opinion. But I have a bit OCD and dislike not answering an argument either in favour or against.

First of all @Red made me realize that we are not agree on anything about love stories ever lol. IPK was a huge rage when I was in school and I was one of the few kids who was always impervious to the show's charm. Truth be told I disliked it. When I started watching IB, I never knew that it belonged to the same PH and I fell for the guys. By the time I realized that, I was already trapped in the world of M&B romances. Till date I regret not doing my home work on the PH and the kind of stories they give. I regret ever falling for the brothers too. But I had hopes when people told me that Om wasn't a typical Gul hero 😆

I believe Ishana flopped because she was OTT and lacked substance. Her humor was out of place and Bela-Mala was illogical. It also had a lot to do with Omkara, he wasn't the typical AYM and the kind of crowd he attracted was different and most of them disliked OTT Ishana. As for OTT heroines making big, times have changed lol. Sensibility is also welcomed these days. Gul could have at least experimented.

And I have already said this hundreds of times now. I wrote this post in the hope that some of the writers would actually see that there are people who dislike some stuff they are showing on Gauri too. Complaining now is better than complaining when there is logically no possibility of a change in the future. As for crux of the story - Surely Shivika and RuMya had a very comprehensible crux from the very first week lol and you are saying RiKara has been only two weeks lol.

Now about Rudra, I have never felt him to be OTT, maybe it's Leenesh's acting but since you pointed it out I think him being a cute guy has a lot to do with it. My mother who is a Shrenu fan from IPKEBP and a Leenesh fan since Rudra would pick Rudra over Gauri any day.😆 I guess the thing is that such guys are a rarity on TV when OTT ladies are abundant on TV 😆 and the guy becomes a novelty. Novelty always attract attention 😆

I haven't seen all the episodes, but the ones I saw I liked Gauri. I found her cute and innocent. It was Om who I felt disappointed with actually. I didn't find him the same sensitive and caring Om who I used to like so much in the early days of IB. I understand him having anger issues and acting all cold because of what happened with his Mom, but he could have been a lot more considerate and respectful towards Gauri (especially after seeing how she was being treated by those village people) I didn't like how he pushed her after telling her off that the marriage means nothing to him. I didn't like him manhandling Swetlana either in that one scene in IB earlier.

As far as Gauri's beliefs for marriage are concerned, it is not something very unlikely for her to have such beliefs considering her family background and upbringing. If after being born in such a rich and powerful family, surrounded with such confident, well spoken people, Prinku (have no doubts I love her) can grow up to be somewhat under confident and timid then why can't Gauri be the way she is?

I might be in the minority here but I don't like Om carrying this gangsta look all the freaking time. He looks handsome nonetheless but I would still prefer his earlier look to this one. I am strictly allergic to seeing men having ponytails 😆

About Om- you have to understand that the discussion on Om is done to death. I don't defend the guy jerking his hands away from her. But I don't see why Om will be considerate and respectful towards her when he has only seen her in such situations where you will be forced to think her of deserving all the hate and he never knew that she was innocent. Om is no psychic to see her innocence. I loved it that Om rescued her despite hating her and knowing for sure that she is the culprit (from what he inferred) and that was only something Om would do. As for manhandling Swetlana, I have different views😆

Gauri - I am asking her to realistic, a bit more toned down. Liking something or someone is subjective and I dislike the way she is being shown.

But I agree on the last point, I miss the look of Om I fell in love with, the open hair and the serene smile.😆

For the sake of argument, I'll agree Gauri isn't a suitable lead for Omkara. There's no takkar ki Ishqbaazi there. Okay.

But convince me from CANON information of the show, how does Svetkara fit the bill then? Not headcanons that have been cooked up in this fandom for the past 8 months (I was there when SvetKara was first made up). From canon information of the show, keeping true to the personality and motives of the characters from the beginning...tell me how does SvetKara > RiKara? Please no chemistry thing here because that's a subjective thing and I want sane, logical points.

Kasam se I'm not being sarcastic, please don't go on my dp/avi/siggy. I'm VERY open to changing my opinions. I just want to see what others see in SvetKara that I haven't till now because of my blindness.
