Leena needs to get a few things straight - itâs no use fleshing out characters to a fine detail etc but having zero integrity in telling the story if there is one.
The other serials above are not pretending to tell a story..they are in the game of entertainment⌠they donât have too much of grand characterisation etc⌠they use a few tropes to sell their wares and within that they aim to please the audience. I donât watch any serial on this list but from a few moments of either promos or general surfing, it is obvious they may lack a vision in the narrative etc but at least they are not pretentious unlike Jhanak makers.. like there is a story to tell but kuch bhi irada nahin aage badne kaâŚ
I will give an example of Udne ki Asha - I donât follow the serial but my thoughts on what little I have seen in surfing is their scripting department has a good sense of engagement of the audience while narrating a scene. Keeps it simple!! Much of the audience cares for that only.
Jhanak pretends to tell a story..but it has no intention to carry through to its logical extension or conclusion.. Since the serial has limited ability for full blown drama it resorts to elongating basic premise ( Hall drama, Arshi - Shristi nonsense ad nauseam) Serials like Jhanak with personality driven conflicts cannot go on forever- Which is why the serial was great in the start and the build up was good as they kept to conveying the journey with earnestness. But the journey canât stall without the jerkiness being observed by the core audience that fell for it. Now the serial is just stalling so the charm is off..
Leena is trying to have the cake and eat it too!!
