Wonderful post Ganga 👏

In the game of TRPS, they literally took a drastic turn in the story of Shivika just pulling them one yr back where they started all over again after separation...

Now should we assume that Annika didn't learn anything abt Shivaay since separation except that he loves her immensely...

The writers have thrown in an open line from Shivay to Anika ki come what may Shivay ka dil sirf Anika ke liye dhadkega.
When its their turn to freeze-thaw Anika's brain, she will tell Shivay that she in her convoluted "shocked" state thought and concluded that he indicated that how many ever dulhans he marries for family's sake, majboori mei hi sahi, his heart when it beats will beat for Anika.

In my pov, they literally got the character of annika down too much for this twist.

Otherwise the kidkithod Annika we know since separation would never walk away but she would confront Shivaay to know the reason because of which he did this, she would fight with him, she would ask him to give a valid reason for the situation they r in...but no just for the sake of trps they forced this on us..

They did this with Soumya once in the past for the sake of same trps and now it's shivika turn...

I better don't watch this than seeing a beautiful story going haywire in the race of trps..

Bang on post! Better the makers rethink their strategy! Looks like they troll all posts and know the audience pulses! Then why kill a beautiful relationship? Just like that and destroy the basic character traits of the FL!

It really sucks! And dont they ever get bored of repeat shaadis for the same guy?

Geez! Even Tej had only Svet!

Such a well-written post.. and I completely agree with this.. 👏 I would have liked it if the writers would have taken a risk.. shown us a slice of life or internal struggle wale tracks instead of the same old blackmail, marriage(woh bhi Billu ki), MU, separation, dance, 3rd angle, kasamein, vade etc etc.. 😆😆

I have not been watching IB.. but when i read this article IB was the first thing that it reminded me off.

http://www.filmcompanion.in/why-cant-we-admit-that-our-favourite-shows-now-suck-we-need-to-talk-silicon-valley/

Some excerpts from this article: I read it before I guess.

"There's virtually been zero character growth, everyone's still as dysfunctional as always, even the story beats are repetitive now" Absolutely

"I have thought about this long and hard and here's what I think: these shows are our comfort food. We probably discovered them before everyone else co-opted them (ugh), they've been with us through our ups and downs all these years, they've given us laughter and tears and so many feels, they've been our BFFs when our BFFs were cheating on us with other shows, they've just... been around, you know? So how can we now turn on them simply when they are going through a rough phase? Every relationship has ups and downs... you don't left swipe on love, do you? Of course not!"

Yes, provided its a rough patch due to unforeseen situations. If situation has gone from bad to worse due to one's own carelessness, over-confidence, lack of motivation, investing in too many projects financially or by manpower sharing, I am not here to sympathise and empathise with their logistic issues.

"we know that our favourite show isn't what it used to be, we'd rather not think about it because it opens us up to pain. Plus, we now have to find a new favourite show and frankly, we already have so many daunting choices to make in life, that THIS is where we draw the line."

_____________________________________________________________________

"But just like our real relationships, we shouldn't treat our favourite shows with kid gloves either. We need to call them out when the writing is lazy, when the characters stop growing, when you have seen everything they have to offer... so they can now do better! #SorryNotSorry Silicon Valley, we love you, but you need to DO BETTER (We'll keep hate-watching anyway, but is that what you really want?)"

That is exactly the KOSHISH here.

Maine bol diya. Take it or leave it. I consider this as feedback, what others think, I can't change.

EDIT:

P.S. I was debating if I should write this but your NOTES instead of 'DISCLAIMER' cracked me up.. I'll edit this if it causes trouble! Sorry! 😆 No worries

Hi, I am a silent reader on this forum. But your thought provoking post & the recent story progression has inspired me to comment.

Thank you. Feeling flattered 😊

You should join more often and try posting your thoughts freely. Its just a support you are providing for people with similar views as yours or providing constructive counter arguments for why you may think otherwise.

Lot of crater size loopholes are there in the plot, but then ignoring them, one does wonder, if the marriage was indeed a reality, according to Annika, what is the meaning of silently sobbing & feeling betrayed, without trying to at least stop the wedding? Her trying to barge in and go on an accusatory spree against Shivaay & the family would be Trp gold! Him hiding things from her could have lead to some heavy duty dialogbazzi (intensity achieved). Despite warnings by Shivaay she managed to reach conclusions because Bua influenced her thinking, after Veer blurting out things to her hours before. Of course, this entire thing could be a plan by the lead pair, but after seeing yesterday's episode it makes up to no good.

In the name of rating games Annika's character under went metamorphosis, (IRREVERSIBLE)

the Shivaay who was ruthless in mind games got manipulated, Tej who could have played some games with Bua ended up bringing a disguise for Rudy, Omru poor things unable to do anything at all!! Why must a plot twist be associated with Billuji ki shaadi? Intensity & angst between couples can be shown without a marriage scenario.

Of course all will be well in Shivika land in a couple of episodes/weeks/months & every issue buried under the carpet, until the need for a rating comes calling, then another convoluted reason for intensity/angst/misunderstanding will come up!

Maanke chalein if IB survives this IPL and reached next IPL season next year, waapis sheesha-smashing moment hoga, this time round it may be Shivay misunderstanding or koi bhi who have walked in to OM decides to separate Shivika and Shivay ki shaadi kara lete hain

New seasons, ending things sensibly, staying true to the character sketch that originally was, requires out of the box story telling not endlessly based on the lead character's wedding premise.

Next time, Shivika's child or children may be singing Papa ki shaadi hogi, Papa dulha banenge, papa ki sehra sajegi, instead of billu billu, it will go, I(we) want nayi mummy, nayi mummy , nayi mummy.
Expect a promo from SP, with tagline "Nayi Soch"

For now I want this god awful never ending day to be over & I don't want to see Shivaay getting married ever again as long as this show lasts, even to Annika...wishful thinking I know 😳!!
