Nice topic, Sush!!

IPL fever starts and the channel asks the shows to move the twists to May. I say this on the basis of what I read on IF headlines. All SP shows are going through a twist right now. EHMMBH recently aired the episode for which the promo had been shown pre-IPL. So Cvs decide to spend the 2 months giving the fans what you think they want. Non-stop Barun and Sanaya. Keep the 1% analysts happy with adding pseudo layers. For the rest, use up fan fiction ideas and use them as tracks. For the fan girls, have Barun topless once a week and Gel-less twice a week. For the rest, let's give them a Khushi-on-caffiene...

That is the main problem. the problem is not Khushi's comedy. The problem is that there is too much of it. The Cvs thought that if they have to stay put for 2 months, the only way to keep interest is to have Barun-sanaya on screen most of the time. An excellent idea it would have been too, if they had managed to keep the tone of the characters right. They have failed there. I am a regular viewer who watches the show and takes what is shown at face value. I don't have time to decode or make assumptions on what is shown. So if you show me a Khushi who is fine with having the man she loves starve the whole day and be gleeful about it, I am going to take it for what it is. The trick to a daily show is that viewers need to reminded of the storyline that is being played out constantly. Now, if you give me one miniscule scene, monologue that hints at root cause of the behavior, even that I will take it for what it is. Mostly, it is not about whether what the character is doing is right or wrong, it is about whether it makes sense for that character. And they completely failed at that. We never got Khushi's thought process, we always got an Arnie thought process because at the end of each track, they would bring the ASR mode on. He would get FBs at least. Khushi didn't have anything to back up her behavior. Usually, Khushi's thought process was showed by her conversation with DM. That aspect of her is completely gone now even though she made up with DM during holi.

I don't know much about what it takes to put together a daily soap. I have absolutely no idea what it takes to put even an episode together. I am as far removed from that business as I can be and yet a layman like me was able to figure out that the treatment of the characters has changed after holi.Not just Khushi but all of them. It may be the director , it may be a change in the creative team. The point is that when you have a made a change that is that visible to a viewer, something has gone wrong pretty bad.

Vee, one more interesting tidbit - In Sanaya's interview last week, someone asked her that they wanted a rain sequence like the parking lot between Arnav and Khushi. Sanaya mentioned it is a good idea and she is going to talk to the producers- only downfall they have to be under water 10-12 hours (which is what I believe happened in the parking lot sequence) and hence they get sick the next day!

Vee please ...continue your mantras...1008 ofthem to get LM back..They seem to be working...😃

Sush as you said only intensity doesnt work for me either..but just too much comedy is also not working for me. Earlier we used to enjoy the comedy which had their attraction and love interlaced which made the track much more enjoyable. Now the comedy is interlaced with hatred which is just not clicking..

And the comedy nowdays is illogical and nonsensical. Also one more factor I feel that we feel irritated is previously when kushi had comedy later the sequences used to lead to some intensity and with each comedy Arnav and kushi's relationship used to see a progress which is missing now. Like in the Nainital track after kushi's OTT act they brought in intensity which turned to love and in fact after that only we had the hospital hug..that comedy helped them to bond and their comfort level increased and kushi sought him in times of distress. Now we are not seeing any progression ..its 2-3 days comedy then suddenly one day intensity which is not making a connect and not letting us enjoy the track overall leading to disappointment. And Arnav's reaction is very mellowed now towards kushi so we see her act more OTT compared to his softened attitude towards her..its not balanced well.

Anyhow the show seems to be changing gears..hoping for the best!
