Time to lighten things up (at least for me), so back to my "From the CV's POV" posts. This is about how seriously I think the CVs take this show and history so we should not give it more seriousness then it deserves. 😆
That being said, all serials go through what I believe is the post-SR syndrome. Till the SR, the CVs have it easy - they just have to keep the leads apart. Though how they create MU becomes more and more ridiculous. But after the SR, the CVs always scramble as they don't know where to take the story ... So, let's give the CVs some time.
In the meantime, let's see if we can laugh about it. 😆
With that preamble, here begins my fun post:
Fed up with our phone calls, Zee sent the Jodha Akbar CV team to visit Dr. Logic. Here is the transcript from the session.
Dr. Logic: Why are you here today?
CVs: We are having some trouble with the show Jodha Akbar.
Dr. Logic: The good news for you and the bad news for me is I happen to watch this show. So, why are you suddenly having more issues than usual?
CVs: Well, you see, till the love confession and SR, life is easy for us as all we have to do is keep the leads apart as long as we can and delay the love confession.
Dr. Logic: You even dragged that a bit too much ... The Sujamal track made no sense.
CVs: Oh we know ... But then people held on because they knew the SR was around the corner ... When they could survive the Ben track, we knew that we could survive that too.
Dr. Logic: Sadly you are right. But, then after the SR what happened?
CVs: We didn't know how to create drama anymore. So, we tried Ruq's fake pregnancy.
Dr. Logic: Is there a reason all your tracks have to do with pregnancies and vomits?
CVs: We thought the TRP audience could relate to it.
Dr. Logic: Viewers can relate to common sense as well you know.
CVs : Oh really? But we received a lot of backlash for that - some for showing Ruqs doing something so low, some for letting Ruqs get away with it.
Dr. Logic: By the way, how did you decide to have Jalal forgive Ruqs?
CVs: So, we would have a ready villain when we need one in the future.
Dr. Logic: And, I thought for a change you showed maturity. Anyways, what next?
CVs: We tried to fill time by making Jalal Akbar.
Dr. Logic: Any reason you spent only one day on the coin and Jalal being Akbar?
CVs: There was no drama or suspense to it. No point in keeping the audience happy.
Dr. Logic: That makes sense (rolls eyes). Then what did you do next?
CVs: We realized people liked Todarmal a lot. They even started a fan club for him.
Dr. Logic: Note to self, never start a fan club (Now you know who I am! 😉)
CVs: Well, we had him get in trouble to have viewers watch closely how he would be saved.
Dr. Logic: Couldn't you think of another crime?
CVs: Well, for the maha episode Zee wanted a crime against a woman.
Dr. Logic: A fake one?
CVs: Well that was the best we could do as we couldn't have Adham Khan caught yet.
Dr. Logic: Why not?
CVs: Well, we need the villains to be around as long as possible. But in any case, we saved Todarmal but butchered Jodha and Jalal in the process.
Dr. Logic: Indeed you did. Then, how did you think about this next track?
CVs: Well, we were really upset by the backlash from the Todarmal track - we got this seething letter from the President of the Todarmal Fan Club (😉😆) so we decided to relax by watching a movie.
Dr. Logic: What movies did you end up watching?
CVs: Sholay and Mirch Masala. It played on Zee Cinema.
Dr. Logic: That explains it! Next time can you watch Jodha Akbar? 😆
