I haven't made a post in a long time
Now that DBO is all set to hit the floors, I thought I'd put forth my views about DBO and the position IB will be in after DBO
First I went with the assumption that Shivika story would reach a stability and then take a back seat when Om story started. But now that Om gets a new show altogether, this gives the entire screen space to Shivika and moreover to NB
Not that ShiviKa didn't have majority of screen space but I think after the DBO plan was pitched to the channel and was approved by the channel, they have removed OmRu from IB altogether other than putting them in the background. So I was thinking that since the story revolves around Shivika now, I'm somewhat dreading it given the way episodes have been going lately because I have come to a few conclusions
1. Nafratbaaz are not going anywhere
2. Anika and Pinky will have the typical saas bahu drama between them
3. Given that Tia track will be stretched further, there wont be any change in Shivika equation for a while
Tracks that need to be explored
1. Anika's past- From her nightmares it looks like she has been a victim of physical abuse. Chutki mystery.
2. The Oberoi's have a dark past and like IPK I'm pretty sure this will be related to one of the leads- I feel its Anika given that the secret has been spoken of in the first episode but storylines change all the time so you never know.
3. Shivaay doesn't really know Anika. He doesn't even know that Sahil isn't her blood kin nor that Anika is an orphan
4. Shivaay's heart condition.
Dil Bole Oberoi
From the promo, it looks like Gul is back to recreating a hero who is the angry young man and after Riddhima and Swetlana, she will probably show a disillusioned Om who would be an angry young man probably.
Though Om always had a temper ( It was displayed only during Ridhima , Ishana and Tej scenes.) But it was a kind of anger that shakes you with its intensity.
Rudra's character has many facets as well. Hope it is explored properly and Saumya stopped being love angel after Rudra spotted her, I hope they bring that back as well.
Have I missed anything? What are the other potential tracks in DBO and IB?
