1. Extremely poor characterization of Dhara. If there is one female lead I absolutely loathe in all TV shows I ever watched, then it has to be her. Just to save Vivaan's life, she easily let Adriksh's life be sacrificed. She could have searched for more ways to save Vivaan in the 4 years that she was away from Preet.
2. Replacing of Nakul by Yuvraj. Honestly it was Nakul's style of portrayal of Anshuman which made me connect to him and he was the only character I could appreciate, but ever since Yuvraj's entry, I just could not connect to his character any more or adore him like I did earlier.
3. No logic behind breaking the myths or showing the supernatural stuff. While I agree that supernatural does give one a lot of creative freedom, but there should be a proper explanation for what you are showing. It should not be mere statements. Till date I dont know the reason why Anshuman - supposedly the strongest vampire in the world, loses all his powers in front of Preet when nothing happens to werewolves. Then again, no explanation is given to how Ira can wear rosary, held it in her hand and roam around in church freely. If you are going to break a long standing myth, then there should be an explanation for it. But that was not the case with Fanaah.
4. Giving importance to irrelevant scenes and rushing the important ones. So many episodes were wasted on Dhara crying, flashbacks of Vivaan-Dhara and Preet-Anshuman, but the entire Preet vs the werewolves fight was done away in just 5 minutes.

I completely agree with your points Dishu...

Let see hopefully second season they buck up. Actually I think story will turn interesting when Vivaan will turn vampire and I am hoping since Anshuman bitten him he can be next powerful vampire. Let see though I agree they need to get more attention from audience. Some changes in story can do a wonder may be.

Trust me They have the audience attention already,What needed was the Vampire Vivaan track to start as That was supposed to be the Real Story and Turning point,But usse pehle hi season 1 end thing came up.!!😔 😆Honestly Vivaan is too naive,stupid and innocent in the human avtar and such charachter don't suits Karan,He suits full on madness,and the depth and intensity,the emotional deewangi with innocence than can make audience cry thats what suits him the Best and that shades could only be seen in Vampire Vivaan and not the innocent and naive human one.!!So The Vampire not gonna be stupid for sure,So I'm looking forward to it.!!😳About Rithvik,Guess I'm the only 1 here who still wants the werewolf back,Bcoz I always see lots of scope for Vidhyut's charachter and Even in Intro He was especially mentioned as Fierce and strongest werewolf and I always love to watch My RD in werewolf avatarI guess Coz of the sudden wrap up,They couldn't make his entry,As it was always supposed to be after the 2nd leap i.e Vampire Vivaan and Wolfy Grownup Vidhyut both in their full forms but bcoz They dragged too much,the 2nd leap got late and Before They could give a leap,1st season come to an end abruptly.!!So Rithvik's entry and Vampire Vivaan both got stucked.(Saying it from a neutral pov😊)!!I always wanted RD back in his werewolf form again as such roles suits him the Best and brings out the best of his acting skills,So I'll be slightly disappointed to not see him in 2nd season,But I know He won't take wrong decision for sure,If script and his role is strong He'll take it otherwise not.!!😳

Regarding the above, Rithvik had shot for scenes - not just promo - he was shooting for Fanaah too before he left. Those weren't shown. Also, during the entire promotional schedule, Dare 2 Dance was on. So misleading on part of makers to promote with Vidhyut when he wasn't going to be shown, isn't it? D2D wasn't some out of the blue decision.

I dont think Rithvik shot much apart from promo and the first scene, and even if he did it wud be very little and they can only show whn he can continue shooting further... And Rithvik was always supposed to be part of the show and it was obviously not misleading viewers whn he promoted and we shud not forget Fanaah season is ending bcos of actors unavailability and not for any other reason..nd I feel its perfect this way to start the new season of 2014 track from scratch now and thts the track which was promoted in the promotions too bcos Karan was promoted as a vampire and he still is not and its ending now...And plus Rithvik's show, Karan's film were always there and it was the mutual understanding between them and the makers n we shud respect that and its definitely unfair to blame that they just used for promotions...

Amy07 - Sach bolun Adrij I thought he really loved Dhara like how Vivaan do but I was proved wrong when he ran away leaving Dhara to sacrifice her life. After that scene I didn't felt anything else stupid... first I thought how Dhara can take this decision later I understand she thought they will kill her obviously leaving their son but Adrij characterisation for running from there left me thinking whether he ever loved her or it was some price for him. Last don't take it offensive nothing personal with you hugs.

Yeah good point his love suddenly seemed so fake .. But still Dhara's reaction was very thanda when he was dying i mean common he was dying its not a joke.. Even I feel in future Cvs shud make life and death a little more realistic for proper connection...

@Amy07 - Guess we can agree to disagree here :), I think it was unfair and if they wanted, they could have focused on only the werewolves story (because S2 return 2-3 weeks isn't that long a period)and shown Rithvik.

May have been mutual understanding, but I read all the makers interviews since Fanaah buzz started and those were about Rithvik and Karan and keeping the focus on them

And I've said on page 1 itself, I had two reasons - the story being a drag was the other primary reason it didn't work for me.

Also, as far as ratings is concerned, I'm not sure if that's an issue, because MTV isn't a GEC so their target audience is different. They probably look at social media buzz, feedback etc. on their shows.

they could have been shown in a week, if we delete all those stupid songs and unnecessary flashbacks that consumed 20 minutes of an episode out of the 24 minutes. Were they really necessary?

To be honest, Preet and Anshuman's love story is the only good thing in the show!!!!

Till now, yes, they are the only good thing. But even that was dragged.. What was the use of showing those flashbacks of 14 years again and again. Like they showed them around 15 times and then their meeting at vivan's sister's cremation ceremony around 10 times. It was such a drag.

and then samjhawan song playing everytime they come closer taking a good 5 minutes, such a waste of time.

^^Points i agree with..

About ratings-I do not know because we had no news about that..but i assume Fanaah may not have done great with ratings..or at least not up to the makers' expectations..

Regarding the forum activity-I recently started watching KYY and I'm smitten by it.. LITERALLY! I went to the forum.. n there is so much activity there.. I went to youtube to catch up on older epis.. n i was quite surprised that Fanaah had more views/likes compared to KYY.. almost double. I don't know how that show is doing either in terms of ratings.. I do not know how popular it is or if it is a Hit or a flop. But personally I really love that show n i really hope it does well becoz it's really good in terms of writing, direction, characters, actors..
Kaisi yeh yaariyan has more views than fanaah. One of its episodes has more than 64k views. Considering the fact that KYY wasnt promoted and hyped as much as fanaah. Neither it had any adverisements or promos. They started for it only after few epis as it picked up slowly only. Whereas fanaah had more advantages - supernatural show, stars (not just actors). I guess the makers were over-confident.

P.S. PKYEK worked with newcomers?🤔 I'd seen both the lead actors before in other shows. Anyway I wasn't impressed with their acting. Well newcomers means not stars. Sukirti and Vivian werent stars and not well known faces before pkyek. It was pkyek that made them stars. Any lead actor who hasnt done a lead show ealier is technically a newcomer. That is why they got fresh face awards inspite of doing shows before.

Wish he replaced Chetna.

Thanks shail.. But that fellow is too head strong and now he has become MTV creative head. Little hope that he listens to us.
