What drives the series Geet?
1) Maan and Geet,their life,the cute nok zhoks,the romance,ruthna mana,expression of love and sense of sacrifice and above all the presence of Drashti and Gurmeet and their immense talent which shoots up and breaks all barriers and sets new benchmarks which makes one feel,love does exist and if it happens to be like what Maan and Geet share then it is the sweetest feeling one could ever experience and it looks the best when Drashti and Gurmeet are enacting it.
Certainly when you watch Drashti and Gurmeet enacting,you dont feel like switching and moving your eyelid,the world comes to standstill and one gets dissolved with them as salt in water.
If makers and team geet see it from fans eyes then it is the most cherished gift mother nature could ever give to mankind in the form of Drashti and Gurmeet,becasue they surely make you fall in love with whatever they do and one feels only good should happen to them whether it is real life as Drashti and Gurmeet or reel life as Maan and Geet.There is a scientific reason to why we love to watch Gurmeet and Drashti together to make evryone realise why we loved to watch Sharukh and Kajol,Hrithik and Aishwarya,Anil and Madhuri,AAmir and Juhi and now Guru and Drashti,but wont get
into it.
2) The sequencing of plots,the music Maahii and its smart use rather than overdose and a simple script without any major headaches works great for the pair Drashmeet and characters Maaneet and above all if negativity is used for any reason then if it brings Maan and Geet together and sets up a funny plot,plot with light feeling then it works big time.
3) Fans want a simple story about how Maan falls in love with Geet,how he gets married to Geet,how he supports Geet and accepts her with her past,how their life goes after wedding,how Maan helps Geet to develop her character and personality from a small town girl to a girl who is strong enough to face any social issue,how a man with Maan's character stands firm with geet and loves her beyond the limits of love set by nature.
In short,treatment as such that nok zhoks,romance and love follows and is used as the soul or theme of every episode aired everyday at 9.30 pm Geet on Starone,where two maaneetastic couples in the form of Drashti and Gurmeet come onscreen make people forget their worries and make fall in love with them,certainly as viewers and fans we need break from our real life challenges and for a change we want to witniss how great love can be and how picturesque it can look and who better than Guru and Drashti portraying it.
In one word an idol pair which one would love to experience themselves in the form of respective partners.The reason why fans are reacting so much over negativity, is the difference in the opinion of makers and fans.
4) What worked was the initial build up and a natural process of falling in love which wasbeautifully designed and made millions loyals and get involved with the series,becasue somewhere down the line as it always happens,fans find difficult to draw a line between real and reel and it is the desire to either get what is shown in the fiction or somewhere in the mind there is something which is missing in real life of a fan gets completed after watching it in fiction.
This is what great directors and makers like Yash Chopra in particular have done,showing the good vision in a fiction with life larger than life,making people feel such a life is possible,his work speaks for himself and today his name comes in the top directors India has ever had.
5) The initial treatment to routine plots and presence of Drashti and Gurmeet in it,worked big time,making people like me who are grooming themselves for the entertainment sector and many others feel,this pair can do wonders with any plot which has positivity,even an average plot and a sequence or a scene as simple and normal as
a) Boss arguing with secretary
b) Boss going to dhaba
c) A guy visualizing a girl as life partner
d) a drunk guy falling in arms of his love and expressing his feelings
e) a guy expressing shock and hatred after realizing the half truth of the girl happened in past.
Add to it number of memorable scenes which Drashti and Gurmeet have given together which had no major build up and high voltage dialogues making me feel I am watching a bhojpuri film or south Indian film,no super power strengths to the leads to feel they are different couples.
