Kehne ko raima ko aaye baas 3 weeks hue aur 3 mehne ki mehnat paani mein dub gayi! We knew she was going to come since day 1 and she didn't really do any harm to ronakshi. Still most of us have lost the connect. What exactly went wrong? We attributed this mess up to many things.
1. 26th September obsession-
Mr Producer, in his obsession about his birthday, ruined his own creation that was so beautifully crafted. There was no need to make 26th September so dramatic n over-hyped. Raima could have just woken up from coma and Ronakshi could have independently spent their day together as they had decided the other day when Rohit was hospitalised. I m sure viewers would have definitely given Sikcand much more blessings on his birthday. The downfall began with this obsession.
2. Church episode-
That one or two episodes spoiled everything that was gradually established in last 3 months. Had Rohit realised and confessed his love after ganpati visarjan track, we would never find it so out of place because that one night in jungle and it's aftermath had totally set the stage for it. But they decided to bring Rohit back to square one just to establish Raima's comeback and then couldn't give him time to go back from where he had returned. This one episode nullified all the effect Sona had on Rohit and Ronakshi had on viewers, making everything out of place.
3. Change of writers-
I still fail to find the reason why the writers who were doing amazing job were changed in the middle of the track at such crucial point! It is obvious that one cannot easily pick up from where the other has left. It was difficult, but was it difficult? No! We non professional writers also pick up from the events in the show and basic features of the characters of a show and write our fictions. Even if the writers couldn't give justice to what the former writers had envisioned, they MUST have maintained the basic characters. Turning strong headed Sona into bechari Parvati and funny sarcastic logical Rohit into fickle minded dramatic tv serial bahu was a big NO! The original character need to be reinstated asap!
4. Positive Raima-
It was a good thought to have a positive third wheel. But the amount of screen space given to her...was it really required? No! A character is established over a period of time. You can not force the audience to accept any character in just 2-3 days. Here in two weeks, audience is forced to accept Raima's comeback, her ignorance of the reality, learning of the truth, disbelief and moving on...husshh! Fast pace is good, but some pauses are necessary. This super fast pace caused over-dose of raima which was a new unestablished character for viewers which typically annoyed one n all. And in the quest of keeping her positive, they are gonna keep her interfering in Ronakshi's person life and make her a forceful family member of Sippy's which again is a big NO! We were introduced to a few members who collectively formed Sippy family. Sudden intrusion of one member in this group is definitely as uncomfortable to the viewers as it is to the family itself. Hope the lines are drawn and Ronakshi's personal space and Sippy's family space is intact.
5. Dipika's illness-
The timing of dipika's illness happened to be really wrong. Already there was so much mess n this added to it. Well, no one has control over health, but makers definitely had control over how to cover up for it. For that, other characters of the story need to be nicely established too. Here, none of the side characters have a story of their own except PaRo which is puke inducing. All other characters revolve around Ronakshi alone. However, from whatever was available, they should have wisely utilised the characters. But no, they have to again push raima only...the same unestablished new character with whom viewers are really not attached. There were so many options. They could have shown akash deepa's dynamics. Deepa could have shared PaRo's dirty secret with Akash. If not so much, she could have at least expressed to him how people taunt her for being in a live-in and how it somewhere hurts. They could have shown Rohit going back to hospital and guiding Pulkit, praising him, or bonding with him as jeeju and discussing sonakshi with him. They could have shown Rohit-Ajit's banters and then Rohit expressing his real feelings in front of him, how he is feeling after the whole mess is cleared n all. They could have shown tulsi vimmi etc being happy about the wedding news of their beloved Parvati with their sir. The basic point is, when u have to cover a lead's absence, u have to show other characters that are loved or accepted by the viewers, not the ones which are not yet established or disliked by the viewers. Absence of lead is clearly not an opportunity to establish new characters. It can be done when u can fill other half of the episode with the beloved leads. This simple strategy is not understandable for the makers and we r being served raima overdose and Karan non sense.
All in all, the show is badly affected. There's still a scope to get it back to shape, all that is needed is maker's focus and will to do that. With dipika's absence in today's and maybe a few more episodes and almost no dialogues to her in past few episodes and overdose of raima, I have kind of lost connect with ronakshi. I am almost feeling that it's a story of Rohit raima now. Writers need to make serious effort to bring back Sona's effect once dipika is back on screen. There should be overload of Ronakshi scenes to get back that connect. Can we please have some alone scenes of Ronakshi like Sona panicking over Rohit's injury, Rohit going mad at her for leaving for dandiya event without telling him and then later understanding her, telling her how much he missed her n how excited he is about their engagement and how he wants to share this exciting phase with her and all that. Some thehraav please before starting the next drama! I m not asking for too much, but please give raima a break and show not so passive Sona for at least 2-3 episodes to re-establish the connect that is lost. Forget raima and all the new developments and give the old plots a push to make us feel we r watching khkt and not some new show altogether! Please!🙏
