I never had sky high expectations. But didn't expect this much blunder either.
Sorry but suspension of disbelief is permissible only to some extent. Not these bhoot dramas or 3 cases in one hearing in one day, bank locker nonsense etc. The blunders were too much even for a soap!
It is a shame for a serial which is supposed to be based on a serious issue!
We tolerated lot of bloopers earlier. But still kept plugging in. Only to see an even worse end? Nope. Disappointment is a given.
The team has to be equally blamed as it was killing time earlier also in July-August than show to the point stuff. They didn't just mess up in last few weeks.
Being in this field they had no idea and were not prepared for uncertainties? No back up plan?
If you get 2 month notice then you do this? They surely don't know how to work under pressure then. The bloopers were too obvious. One didn't even need to emphasise them!
Say what you will but it takes both hands to clap. I will blame both team and channel. As a viewer and as a consumer I have every right to do so. And also ponder if attachment to the show was worth it or not.
The end is crucial in determining how one assesses the whole journey. All's well that "ends well", that is the adage. And here the end was not well.
We have shown appreciation for team through other threads. We can express our criticism too.
You keep judging our posts in quality or quantity or question our attachment as you wish. But it is only us as individuals who know how much attached or not, we were. And we don't need to prove that to anybody.
There are countless threads on Star Plus as a channel, criticising them. This thread title also mentions channel first. So why are you getting so defensive for the team?
What's done is done. It's over now. Our comments are not going to change anything. The team already thinks they made a masterpiece and are faultless, so why are you bothered over comments?
You have to look at everything relatively. I have had the displeasure of watching numerous television shows and movies and the majority of them had numerous more loop holes than Ek Hasina Thi.
The suspension of belief concept must apply to all fictional shows and stories. I don't mean watching the show while not using your brain at all, but you should not examine each event in the show with extensive scrutiny.
Please note that 3 cases were not dealt with in one hearing. The Sakshi and Rajnath cases were scheduled to be dealt with at a later date. The only case discussed was the Payal rape case, which resulted in 3 people being at the receiving end of the judgement (specifically Shaurya, Karan and Rishi). As for the bank locker, I see nothing wrong with it.
I think you are overstating the amount of blunders. Unanswered questions are not counted, especially considering that the team was not at fault for it (when you have, let's say, 2 months to finish the show with a very long plot, it is expected that some things will remain undealt (which actually is a word) with.
You can't blame them for not using all the time they had during July because they likely didn't know the show was ending in December.
They can't be expected to have a back up plan for such an unimaginable situation i.e. Star Plus removing a fairly popular show so suddenly.
I certainly would like those aforementioned blunders to be emphasized, because I can't identify any major ones counting beyond the single digits.
The "it takes two hands to clap" idiom is irrelevant here. Just because of that saying, will you always blame everyone in a situation, disregarding whether they are at fault or not? I certainly hope not.
The "all's well that ends well" idiom is irrelevant here as well. That is applied to the events that occurred in the show, not the execution. The ending was fitting as it resolved the main issues of the show. It being rushed, executed badly etc is a different matter and doesn't affect the show as a whole.
I've never judged you or anyone on here entirely based on their posts, but nonetheless I don't see how that is relevant in this discussion. My simple point was that if you were so attached to the show, spent countless hours posting here etc, you shouldn't be so distressed and undermine completely the reputation of the show simply due to the ending.
I'm not being defensive regarding the team, but I dislike blaming someone for things they had no control over.
Our discussions never affected any decision made by the team, so I wouldn't expect anything now either. Nonetheless, this is still a discussion forum and discussions will be carried out just for the sake of sharing opinions.
