What EHT deserves to be lauded for bringing up - Page 2

@Anu I didn't blame Payal. You mistook my comment. But what I said was she was also shown as a human, a person who after seeing the failures they were getting just crumbled. A super human girl would have stood that assault from Sakshi or realistically would have thought of discussing it with Nithya. But she couldn't. She didn't think through the consequences of changing the statement and when the reality stuck her it was far too late. Exploitation of rape victim was perfectly shown and Payal actually fell for that exploitation. Society does that exploitation and EHT through Payal had given one of the strongest message is that let whatever be the circumstance but never ever admit in court a rape was consensual.

You may win or loss. Battle may be hard. But it is far better to preserve the dignity of your stand than give in to any kind of pressure. Because if you the victim crumble you are indirectly helping the perpetuator who has ruined you.

Anu your post was written really well and I agree. I liked the exploration of all the characters. Shame they can't continue and do it really well. They had lots of avenues to explore but nope. That won't happen now.

Anu, I have no words to describe how beautifully you have written. I agree with you complelty. Though there are many glitches in the implementation of the concept, I would like to oversee them for the sole reason of this concept of revenge from a female. That too an aggressive one in the form for Durga.

In order to keep themselves in the race of TRP they have included/ butchered many characters and introduced some lame plots which are absolutely unconvincing. I am patting myself and saying that we got to see the characters wonderfully enacted by Simone, Ayub, Sanjeeda, Bhupinder etc who actually made us stick to this serial.To a certain extent I like Vatsal too( It became too repititive and hence cannot blame the actor)

I have nothing more to add to what Anu has said. These imperfections of human nature and the depiction of it in the most convincing way has make EHT Stand apart from the remaining chart busters. Atleast there is some satisfaction that there is a group of viewers who would like to see these kind of revenge series.

Also, as I understand the show will have its last episode on 20th December which means we have exactly one month to relish and I hope they do justice in this one month.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all the posts here and hats off to all your analysis and creativity in various forms.

brilliant post Anu..i have literally no words to write..awesome..

Nothing more to say.

EHT is the show that finally showed a perfect characterized Female Antagonist for the first time on TV

Very well said. they really did try to step out of the stereotypes and portrayed an arc as you said for each of their key characters...all the shades and layers that they explored really painted a persuasive picture of how a descent into the dark side is socially constructed -- and how it intersects in unpredictable ways with personal traits which too are magnified or fanned by choices made, circumstances experienced and the networks and relationships one becomes a part of.

Its almost like this was a short novel, a book, expressed on film. The writers really "heard" their characters, listened to them between the lines, as Mike Nichols, who passed away yesterday said of the power of crafting characters in theater. EHT was a bit like that. Meaning got built up by things beyond the words. The strongest characters, e.g., Sakshi, forced us to listen between the lines.

And yes, the things they explored, and how they explored them were refreshingly new.
