Love story to pata nahi naseeb me hai ya nahi
I watched that ghum promo where the leads are running towards each other in the last episode of the season and confess their love
Before that they were like tum kaun main kaun !
But they stretched it for 1000 episodes right ? And now they got a new lead and show is still going on ! It makes no sense to me but chal raha hai ๐๐ซก
Vira, Sohini
Read both your posts
Bang on!!
My sense and it has been my apprehension for a quite a while now I think Maya and I are on the same page on this I feelโฆ Leena is flirting with the concept of EMA which technically this story has now moved into the realm of. For me, from the period I have watched, I have seen this as a story where emotional infidelity has already been strayed into and therefore my insistence on the tale being moral conflict theme. I have never been in doubt from day one ( from the time I started to watch the serial) about this being the theme. I am not squeamish about the emotional infidelity theme and I think if handled sensitively, a good love story can emerge even without resorting to forced marriage plot devices. I generally draw the line on EMA on this medium as I donโt think this medium has the ability to handle such themes with sensitivity because it depends on whose perspective it is portraying as the empathy can shift based on that
I know a lot of viewers placed a lot of importance on the โforced weddingโ and just assumed that it was the real deal! They โdeludedโ themselves into thinking that since shaadi hui hain toh yehi final hain. Yes, it is still the real deal but not in the way a large section of the audience is seeing thisโฆLeena is clearly attempting something different but has no confidence that she can pull it off. Which is why she keeps harping on meri biwi mera damaad on the one hand and getting Arshi to play touch me not
I donโt know the Ghum angle much but if I am not mistaken, the writer must be a Leena clone who must have kept the third angle as the interested party till the end and not known what to do with it and finally combusted ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
Ofc you could ask me why did I become interested in this sordid mess if I knew it had such an arc? I was largely drawn in by the writing for Aniโs character and I was curious how will they handle this moral angle, my issue with writers now is about clarity. Decide what love story are you projecting and build the edifice around it. Donโt be a fence sitter. If you have decided this is an EMAโฆ have the conviction to build around itโฆYes, you will lose viewers coz many have sensibilities that attach importance on the institution of marriage but for the record I have seen far more mockery of relationships under the guise of this institution so I am not interested to take morality lessons from this medium.
OR if you donโt think you have the ability to pull it off, dont muck aroundโฆ.dont heap all the burden of nuance, morality on one half of the pair and make the other character stray into infidelity without a care in the world. If both are squeamish about the relationship also donโt make only one character do all the heavy lifting ( in this case, Aniโs character) Move this into the Amar Prem mode and let them โchalo ek phir se Ajnabi ban jaaye hum donoโ
Jo afasana jise anjaam tak laana na ho mumkin
Use ek khub soorat mod dekar chodna acchaโโ
Sorry if the thoughts are in a rambling mode
