Hi bertie...good to see you after a long time in IF...

I don't know about Shah Jahan..but I have given up on etr2..

The day when Ranaji got married to Rags..they changed the whole concept of the show...so watching it now doesn't make any sense...

I started watching the show because of two reasons..

1.the 1940s periodic touch.

2 . Siddhant karnick

Siddhant Karnick's talent has been wasted to some extent by butchering his character..and the show doesn't give us the feel of 1940s any more...

So for me...this serial has been mercilessly killed by Madam Nilanjana Purkhayastha and Lokpriya Chee channel

Love Siddhant Karnick and Drashti.

Watching for both of them.

Whenever Ranaji and Gayu/Sav are together that makes worth watching.

Because of RAGA RASA can tolerate BRM and Ragesh but would like to see less of scheming cruelty.

Thank you for coming back I like your comments on the show, your anger also shows that you care about the show and its actors especially the leads, they are both perfect and love both of them.
Keep making posts happy or sad I love to read them:)))
Thnx

Hi Bert,

So happy you made this post...Nice reading U after so long.

I agree with U. It is still the best show on Zee for sure. I do catch it , but not so religiously. I try to catch the last ten minutes or so, because I am following the show at 10 on Sony- Ek Duje Ke Vaaste. I still enjoy RAGa..I feel this is DD's best performance👏...Sid, of course...can never go for the remote when he is on screen...😳 The track has been written quite well...Just that I am really tired of BRM drama...So I just tune in to catch RaGa when I can.

But the dialogues are still very very good. ...especially ghani bawri's.😆

Aptly put Berts. Agree with u. Even though they butchered the characters so much, we r still trying to hold on to this show because there r still certain things which u noted r the reason for all of us to do so.

But if the makers r really interested in continuing the show, then they should at least make it more +ve n entertaining. I know this PH sometimes tends to glorify some side characters n make them more powerful than the lead characters. I really hope that won't happen in ETR2.

we r all fed up of the plots n plans of super powerful vamps in this show. Luckily for us in this particular track, they r showing RNJ more independent, intelligent n assertive which is good n hope it stays like that till the end. RNJ is still a puzzle for all of us which we r trying to crack n enjoying doing so. He's being shown as the RNJ of the first 60 odd episodes and am happy for that.

G as SV also has some advantage that is she can say whatever she wants to say without the fear of MU r disrespect to the King. She is saucy, spunky n more bold when compared to G. she has spine to take stand. RASA r so refreshing after that torturous BM n other nonsensical tracks.

If the CVs stick to intelligent story telling n strong lead characters with some +ve supporting characters, viewers will enjoy the show more. I really wish they end this BRM n RAgeswari track a.s.a.p. n bring some political track with strong n intriguing leads. For a show in this genre to succeed, they need both the leads strong n intelligent. Hope the CVs will keep it in mind while writing tracks.

I logged in to IF after months and I saw this post. And thought of commenting since i saw many familiars commenting

Yes, I am still watching ETR only because of DD and Sid. they are literally holding the show together, and any increase in the TRP is 100% due to their efforts. DD is very brave to do this, unfortunately her role is not garnering enough media attention because the serial is not exactly breaking records!! She is operating outside her comfort zone totally and doing a great job at it. I remember having a long discussion about her in the initial phase of ETR
The track started off well, but this week it has stagnated. The dinner date with Rageshwari was almost shoved in, to give her and Ranaji a chance to be on screen together. They should steer away from promoting RaRa pronto. But who's to tell them!
Production values are still classy, side stories like Swarna-Lakhan are interesting.
they have a lot of unresolved issues - Ranaji's birth lineage etc to move on with..

Zee now that I watch the channel, runs similar tracks in every serial, as a pattern. Jamai Raja jas a memory loss track!!!

Hi Bertie,
I've more or less left the forum but do visit this one to see how the show is progressing. I catch the repeat telecasts as the urgency to watch the show is gone.

I agree, for DD, Savitri is a class act. Didn't know she had such depths and I salute her for donning the current look.

But I do wish the writers didn't fall prey to memory loss. What happened to the fact that Ranaji isn't a king after all. What's the point of all this subterfuge then? Killing off Lakshaya seems pointless since he was the one who was to replace Ranaji on the throne. With him gone and any chance of a waris gone with him, BRM just needs to reveal Rana's real antecedents.

Since this truth exists, I don't see the point in what's going on at the moment. It's fun to watch the razor-tongued Savitri who is as brave as she is innovative. Though it seems odd that Ranaji gives so much attention to a mere servant, it's ok since we know who she is...you are right, the romance as it is, is great to watch. Just wish they don't drag it too much and hope BRM revealing the real 'face' of Savitri takes place soon so that we can move to the next phase of the story.
