Please Note: I have written this post putting my heart. I finally had to let out my displeasure. Criticism is welcome but don't bash actors. Let's stick to the topic.
Hi everyone,
I was in a dilemma whether to post this topic or not but finally i thought i will post. I am creating a topic for the first time after revamp. The makers have made me do this.
After revamp, the IMMJ fans got divided into Arjun fans, Aalisha fans, Nia fans, ArSha fans, ArjIa fans and what not. I myself an Arjun fan since MJHT and also like aalisha a lot now. But my liking for an actor never stopped me from criticizing the characters they are playing. It is my kind request to all the loyal viewers of IMMJ who have been watching this show since the beginning to keep all the love/hate for the actor/actress aside and think for once what makers have turned our IMMJ into and how badly the characters have been butchered. Please for once think about the story and the characters..
We had signed up for a revenge thriller where the ML was supposed to betray the FL in love and the FL will take the revenge. Did that happen in the show? No. What we got? Double betrayal of the FL.
Let's talk about the characters:
Deep: A mastermind, but good at heart. He had a goal to achieve and come what may he will achieve that. He had to save his wife Tara and hence had to trap an innocent girl like Arohi unwillingly. But still, there were moments where we could see how much it hurt him to do that. But his aim was very clever so in the end he betrayed Arohi. After Arohi got out of jail, we had thought Deep will know it's Arohi and will help her but makers decided not to make that happen. Though Arohi shot him, he never got betrayal from her coz he never chose her. But that didn't make him pure evil. He was always grey shaded. Somewhere in his heart he always knew Arohi shot him coz he betrayed her, hence chose her over Tara later and hid her identity from everyone. He was grey, he did crimes but we and Arohi forgave him coz he had his reasons. But when everything was coming back to normal, where did our Deep went? He wasn't a Casanova,He wasn't a man who would use many women to fulfil his motives.. He wasn't evil to burn his own wife which he claimed to love, He wasn't a monster to send his wife to Nepal. He wasn't complete heartless soul. Then what happened to all that. Now, we see that Deep is romancing with a girl who he is unsure of whether she is Anjali or Arohi..was Deep that characterless to romance any random girl without knowing who she is..what do you want to portray him as? And if at all you wanted him to show like this in the end, why play with fans' emotions? Why change Deep so much CVs? The character which we truly, whole-heartedly loved.. No man on earth will burn his wife who he truly claimed to love come what may. You not only betrayed Arohi again but also betrayed the viewers. No majboori can justify what you made Deep into. Coz burning a person is pure evil.. and if at all you wanted to show a different arohi, plastic surgeries are done without the need of burning also. That way you could also keep our Deep grey. .Deep has taken identities of both Tara and Arohi. He changed Arohi's face and made Tara into Arohi. What is his motive still not clear.. And now if you(CVs) whitewash Deep, that is going to make him a hypocrite for sure which you have already started making him into one..Now-a-days you have only turned him into a casanova, heartless, evil soul..I wish there was a way to get our Deep back, but now I can not ever forget that he burned his wife..Thank you CVs. I am writing all this with so much pain coz I truly loved IMMJ..
I still remember Deep before leap..who was not this bad..i have been watching old episodes of IMMJ off-late and if you all do the same you will find a huge huge difference in Deep's character..
Arohi: An innocent, sweet girl who got betrayal from the one she loved and trusted the most. After coming out from jail, she wanted to take revenge and she did..but during the path she never forgot her principles. She stayed with Deep but she always hated his touch coz it reminded her how badly he had betrayed her. She was dumb and still was brave..she made so many mistakes and we hated her for those mistakes but still she had her heart for things she suffered. But is she the same Arohi now. She again got betrayal from the same man, but no signs of pain are to be seen, rather the girl who once hated Deep's touch is now preferring this path to get things done from Deep which is truly dumb considering how Deep is/was. Is she stronger than before? No. she has become weaker with no plan, running all over the places. Was she a seductress ? No. She is using Virat also now..but arohi would have not made a relationship with a man to take her revenge. Where is Arohi CVs? Why you murdered our old Arohi? Even there is a difference between the scenes you show with old Arohi and new Arohi. Why do that? I know they have already started to whitewash his character now, but can we really forget and forgive what they made deep do..i.e. burning a person alive..i won't be able to atleast..
About Tara, I don't want to talk much about. She anyways has nothing much to do in the show now. Only keeping an eye on Deep. That's only job remaining for her. I don't expect anything from her coz she was a pure evil character always..she should be punished for the murders she did..Only thing that is good on her part is she never betrayed in love..and Deep's cheap acts and slow move towards hypocrite behavior is making tara appear better than Deep. But does that matter? No..coz what we will get from that? Nothing. Even if they kill Tara now, i won't mind..
About the story I could just go on and on and on. Arohi's parents who died when she was 6, are shown ead 6 years back..The whole story has been built on a blunder of Aronhi's parents being alive until 6 years back..and the writers have been shameless enough to opnely build the story around this major blunder..Arohi who supposedly never got mother's love had a happy family till 6 years back.. The story which used to move with every single episode is now not moving at all..the focus has shifted from story-telling to more and more intimate scenes and dialoguebaazi..Since when Deep has started using seduction to know whether she is Arohi or someone else. Before revamp also, there was a confusion, Arohi or Tara, this Deep did not use then..Why now? Don't have problem with that but will our ardeep do that? and overdose of such scenes without story is not good..I wish we ever could go back to our previous IMMJ..
@writers: see the pic below. In this scene Arohi had told Deep her parents died when she was a kid..
I could rant and rant about the story but I think I have already ranted a lot..don't want to make it longer and have no more energy left to write about this anymore..i know there is still so much more to talk about which has been ruined but will stop here..I wish we could get our old IMMJ back but it's not possible anymore..
If i have written any wrong info please let me know, i am not following the show religiously anymore but as Arjun and Aalisha are still there i do catch up with clips and updates..
@Mamta: if at all you come across this post, please make a finite web-series of IMMJ with same cast and story..would really love to see how the story would have taken shape if it was not for TRP and no. of episodes..
