Suggestions to Mr. Lalit Mohan Part 2

Some time back I had written to Mr. Lalit Mohan on his wall, and someone from his team had replied saying the suggestions would be passed on to him. So today I made my second bunch of suggestions as follows, and added them on the Rangmunch blog as well:

Dear Mr. Mohan,

I had written in earlier with suggestions on this wall, and someone from your team replied that they would be conveyed to you. I love what this show is trying to do, and its M & B genre story.

Here are a few suggestions/ questions as a viewer and avid follower of the show:

1. Anjali: Anjali needs to become suspicious at least at this stage/ or someone else in the Raizada family. If she does not, it makes her character look absolutely without substance, and I'm not sure that's what you want. Also she does not notice any chemistry between Arnav and Khushi---how is that possible, when these days he is staring at Khushi right in front of Anjali (e.g at the dining table scene, during the rabba ve moment in the living room)?

2. Nani: Continuing from the point above, how come Nani does not notice either, the lady who had said she wanted Khushi to be in front of Arnav's eyes so he realizes what a good, traditional girl should be like? This was right after Khushi was brought in to train Lavanya.

3. Money in the Gupta Household: The Gupta ladies are making shopping lists that include a plate of silver for Anjali--where is the money coming from? Is Khushi still giving tutions?

4. Arnav's job: Arnav does not look realistic where work is concerned: the furthest he's travelled so far is Nainital---a fashion head honcho would travel to all the fashion weeks in Milan, New York, Milan, etc---or at least the one in Mumbai? Even if you don't show him in these venues, can Arnav be absent in an episode or two, travelling, so Khushi gets a chance to miss him? And Arnav looks a little outdated with his laptop---a guy who has his own helicopter does now even own an iPad? And why is he forever at home? Does he have only one office which is being renovated from Diwali and is not yet ready by Christmas? I understand budget restrictions for sets, but surely there is a creative way around it? And if you want to show that he is at home despite losses to his company just to admire Khushi, shouldn't his continued stay in the house be pointed out by some character, like Mami/ NK/ Akash ? Akash and Mamji travel (even during Diwali!), but why is Arnav at home 24/7?

5. Consistency and filler episodes: So far, we have had a Farak padta hai track which got chopped midway, a Shyam revelation track which got shoved to the background and is now getting pulled along at the cost of Anjali's character, a blindingly fast Payal-Akash courtship and engagement track, and now the NK track, where Arnav is jealous---none of these transitions look smooth.

Yesterday (2nd November) was a filler episode (not a builder epi) where NK made irritating noises with a packet of chips, Khushi snatched away the phone when Payal was talking to Akash, and Buaji talked about her shaadi ka joda, none of which were funny in themselves, or seemed like a logical build-up to the next episode, where, presumably, Arnav and Khushi shall meet.

Don't you think the audience would have appreciated an intense new-year episode ?

6. Is is possible that the creatives have not seen all the epis of the show from the beginning?

To add to Arnav and Khushi's relationship at this juncture, shouldn't Khushi be made aware that Arnav put the silver coins in the soap packet on Dhanteras (pre-Diwali)? Also, doesn't Arnav need to know that Khushi sold her bangle to buy plants for Arnav (so he would think they were from Lavanya, and he would bring Lavanya back)?

Creatives do not pay attention to detail: proof: they showed Khushi's blue dress which was stolen on the Nainital trip again during a recent episode.

Shouldn't we start seeing glimpses of Arnav's past so we know the reasons why he is pushing Khushi away despite being attracted to her?

Shouldn't we see flashbacks of how Anjali and Shyam met so the pain of the revelation is even more dramatic?

7. More of Arnav and Khushi: The core audience needs to see their relationship---not just a rabba-ve in front of all the members of Raizada parivaar which leads to nothing and none noticing it other than NK--they can each have flashbacks, dream-sequences (as shown before), they can be shown to think about each other, having some sort of realization within themselves---nok-jhonk is fine, but these encounters can't be a carbon copy of the earliest weeks of the show, they now need to laced with their awareness of each other. And possibly, at least one sane conversation which isn't cut short by either of them or by someone else's interference.

Sorry to have rambled on, but as a big fan of the show, I consider it an obligation to point out what many viewers feel about the show.

I hope the show breaks all records of success in 2012, and that you take on board some of the questions, close some of the gaps, to make the show what it deserves to be--the heart-throb of audiences everywhere.

Best wishes,

Please post your opinions on the FB wall, or if you agree with my suggestions Like them there...or leave a comment on the Rangmunch website.

Thank you so much for this post 👍🏼..You read my mind..CVS please pay attention to all those points made by the TM please, that is what the fan of the show wants.. We love this show so much but lately it starting to lose its charm and is not consistent.I hope they read your post and consider all the points you made and I hope they act soon.

Thank you so much...I hope they read it and try to get rid of the inconsistencies atleast..

@TM, I really appreciate the effort you have put in to bring forth all the inconsistencies and questions that we forum members have. If you have already posted in the FB wall, I will support your post.Since we all love this show so much, we do not want it go down hill and eventually pulled off. With the recent articles from different sources, it looks like the channel SP has startted meddling with the original story, pushed it aside, concentrating on several tracks at the same time which is not making any sense. They are doing it for TRPs which is a shame when the show actually started very well with the original concept, That's what got us all hooked to the show. I wish they consider your suggestions and make changes when they have such talented leads SARUN with them.

I really want the show to do very well in 2012, also hope Barun and Sanaya get all the fame and appreciation they deserve.

@TM, as you suggested, I did support your comment in FB wall asked the director to bring the story back to its original concept and charm. I do not want PH to get pressured by the channel in the name of TRPs. Lets see what happens

very well written. hope Mr lalit mohan read this and take action.

I doubt Lalit Mohan would have the time to see it,much less act on it, but we all have to do our bit. Please add your suggestions either on the FB page or on the Rangmunch article---links to both available in my post on the first page of this thread.
