Its almost one in the morning and ever since I saw the pic of Viraj as the Joker on Twitter, I feel like I just wasted the past 7 months of my life watching a show that has literally become a circus.
I more or less am not interested in watching this show any more but there are some thoughts that I really need to pen down before I officially bid adieu.
I have noticed a trend in what it is about the writing that shows up as the most aggravating aspect for all three of the lead characters. Whenever the writers want to draw the attention and sympathy towards a particular character, it seems like every other character has to pay the price.
1. I've always felt Janvi has been shown as the weakest possible (and I mean WEAKEST) woman on this planet ever since day one of the show to highlight Viraj's atrocity. Viraj himself would not be as scary as he is if Janvi wasn't so weak. Who pays the price for this characterization of Viraj? Janvi.
2. We all know Raghav is the "hero" in this situation. I think both sides (i.e. RaghVi and Viraj fans) of the forum know this. What the hell was the need to create a mockery out of Viraj by dressing him up as the Joker? Fine, the scene hasn't aired yet but what kind of scenario could possibly be in favour of that get-up? This is being done more or less to draw attention towards Raghav. Who pays the price? Viraj.
3. When R vs. V game began, I did feel that all of Raghav's plans were made extremely childish and him losing the tape was utterly stupid. This I felt was shown to show Viraj as being the more clever counterpart of this battle when Raghav did not have to be THAT stupid to show this. It could have been a smart plan even if it failed. Who paid the price? Raghav,
Long story short, CVs don't know how to handle a character and the changes they experience without negatively impacting the others. I can list numerous other examples but felt one for each should be good.
I by no means am biased in this post. For that, you need to be emotionally attached to the characters which is an impossibility for me at the moment given the state of the show.
I am off to bed now and hoping this doesn't turn into a battlefield overnight. I may be late replying to your comments because I'm a bit busy tomorrow but I will get back to them sooner or later.
