You've thought it all out in your head, haven't you?? Then why still so bummed out? 😆😆...I unfortunately read the latest spoiler article AFTER I read the TB news so I was a bit bummed out but having had time to let it sink in now I'm really excited to see this scene with Kesar revealing Dushyant's truth in the heat of the moment cuz of all his frustration.I did too - I mean, read the TB before the forum article - tbh, every news article that claims the CVs have desperately tried to 'regain' falling TRPs, and even introduced the leap in effect - doesn't have the first facts right! Anyone with half a mind to follow this show can tell that the leap was not a TRP raising measure. It was part of the original scheme, and always on cards. Like you said in your comment on Anjali's VM - even the original song has both Vasant and chotta Kesar on the camel when they look at Gulaal. The story was always about GK, and not GV. Somehow, the way these news articles have done rounds about Gulaal shutting shop because of dipping TRPs I've come to think of how much the channel is making out of this 'anti publicity' campaign - because going by evidence of TRPs, there has been significant rise and upholding of at least a steady average TRP rating, specially post the leap - better than other shows on SP, especially in the after noon slot. I think what really is happening behind the scenes is this - the show is supposed to come to a close sometime in the near future anyway, the story line is drawing close to an end - the climax has been building and is nearly tipping at its peak now. So TRPs or not, the way this show has been, once their storyline got done with, they are not the kind to simply keep adding segments of more story to keep it on air - the team of writers and CVs for this show are different like that. Since the show has to but end with the coming together of GK, it's almost as if the admin itself would propagate talks of the show 'coming off air' because of not doing well. All publicity - negative and positive - only ever adds to additional promotion and consequent earning for any show. In a way, they're following the Bolly example. Hype up the climax and get it the best response hence, because loyal viewers will totally be agitated by such news, in protest will personally endeavor to promote the show even more! You see where that goes? That for a show that was to come off air to keep true to a logical ending, they add the controversy of TRPs as a issue which is leading to pulling it off air, and that adds to the hype, so that this climax gets its best response in the airing of the entire show history... The fact that we're hearing everything about DB coming on as a 9PM replacement is giving added pre-promotion to the new show, in addition, not to mention the fact that Gulaal 'ending' date has no confirmation. There are all kinds of rumors, but no channel confirmation - which almost makes me think they will simply push it into an afternoon slot to let it get its due time for a proper end - which is not a large amount of time needed anyway, right? Because from the sound of the showdown article, without 'rushing' through the storyline, some significant lose threads are going to be tied up finally, and they are also paving way for the finale get together of GK - by hinting a separation in the wake of this showdown. So if the show has an airing time of say upto end of August - it would more than suffice the story line and its conclusion. Additionally, despite being sifted to an afternoon slot the controversy has ensured ample publicity for the show, to assure viewership PLUS, additional publicity to the new show. All in all, I think its just dramatically putting out something that was plain and simple as the show story line having lived its life and finding a proper end. It was going to happen - but by airing these rumors they've hyped the peak of climax, and raised TRPs to an all time high in Gulaal's history. Not such a bad bargain at all, for a show they have always put in the backseat when it comes to promotions!And of course, that's just me trying to speculate about the situation, with so much conflicting news of the end. At no point of any episode has it felt like the CVs are hurried, threatened, pressured or hastening (minus of the GK surprise for Tali, which I think after al might truly have gone awry purely because of Mansi's accident) Gulaal has shown no signs of a show that is dying from suffocation of lack of TRPs... it looks like s storyline that has played by its outline at all times, and continues to do so now as it approaches it high end last chapter. And the channel has simply found means of making the most of its tail end! The lack of TRPs to pull down this show just makes sense in no other way - specially when they try to suggest the leap didn't work, LOL!Gah, do I make any sense?! Maybe I've just found reason to not feel disappointed... cause there's no saying how much I will miss the show after its done. But there will be much satisfaction in knowing it got its proper end, and so far, I feel like we aren't being betrayed on that end, of robbed of any promise we've trusted!As for why Gulaal will be asked to leave...it's not about the technicality of Kesar ALSO having known for 10 years...the situations were different...the way Gulaal chose to hide it was different...the family has always put Gulaal up on a pedestal, and this will be a big fall from that...a huge shock that they never saw coming, that's why...anyways this is all part of building up drama...this was actually an expected reaction from the family...it was expected that they would turn against Gulaal due to being hurt by this revelation...what's going to be interesting obviously is what this will mean for K and G's relationship...what Kesar's stance will be as he sees the elders turning against Gulaal...obviously Kesar will always stand by Gulaal no matter what...so I'm expecting some interesting drama coming up and some fab performances from all the actors involved.So I agree with the difference of 'expectation' from Gulaal vs Kesar. I do think Gulaal being asked to leave will not be a humiliating thing for her, but more of disappointment and betrayal, which compels her to come to that position. Remember, like the time MB learned of the DV? And was so upset by Gulaal's decision, that she offered to leave the house? I think this time MB and PB will be more upset than ever - of course- and it will just be the kind of situation where while Dushyant hands himself to the cops, Gulaal will find her way to the door. I doubt the elders will actually drag her out... so to say, but they wont stop her either, unlike other times, so disheartened will they be... and that's where Kesar steps in? His promise of standing with her in her gham always, whether or not in the khushi totally seems like the cue to follow! Like he assured her of his word, because she was going to need it very very soon! For more than just 5 days of fasting! 😆
Yes it may be the last week for Dushyant...but it's better to go out with a bang with this revelation happening than just aevein disappear which is what I was dreading...they will give justified closure to this huge secret that they've been hiding for years...the outcome had to be something of this sort only...better than the way characters random disappear in other shows I say.True that. There's a Punjabi saying to that effect, one that my Dad is fond of: Meleyaan de bhare hoye nikal jao! translates to, leave while the celebrity of the fair is still at it's peak! Yes, he'd leave at the grand peak, when he leaves now... it seems interesting in retrospect, that one of the major reasons to hold back on revealing his murder mystery earlier was because of the vital role he had to play in bringing GK together - including his very important decision as Sarpanch on their DV! Dushyant, for good and bad, has always managed to promote the GK angle, and he was needed for that role - so they couldn't just turn him in a decade ago... or even soon after Kesar was back, with him spilling the beans then when he was at his agitated and tormented worst!
Oh and awesome VM! lol...but I liked your Jaane tu one more😊 Oh me too! I mean, I like Jaane Tu better too - but this was more fun to make, I couldn't but keep getting carried away and watching the scenes so many times over, instead of just fixing the VM and getting on with it 😆
