Nice post. I remember you from QH days. Haven't been regular watcher, so can't really say how flawed both these are.
But Shivaay's family doesn't seem dysfunctional to me. They look a happy family, with elders bonding, and youngsters bonding quite well. Maybe they need to show a few FB scenes of Oberoi kids to show what they went thru. Rolling in money, a joint family, a loving dadi, parents too seem nice to all the kids, what exactly went wrong? Why and how kids got distanced from their parents? Fights happen in all households - rich or poor.
Loved this part of your post. So true. Maybe this is the reason, I couldn't relate to any character. Hope Gul reads it.

he theme is dark, but the writing is not tight. When good strong writing is delivered with good performance and right bonding of the characters, it is then somebody gets so damn attached to you and I bet you will perceive the character as an almost real person. That's when a fiction goes seemingly real. I hope Gul does it to this Show or else sorry no Emotional Investment is going in, or atleast by me. Edited by GitaIyer - 9 years ago
