@Priakachan: I think you are missing the point. All of your rambling sums up to one thing...that season 1 had better creatives...well DUHH...everyone agrees on that...that is what many ppl including the TM are saying too...that the DIRECTOR isn't able to guide the actors properly this season...and Niti relies more on those instructions than Parth does...that is what is coming through.
You are referencing season 1 scenes that were MINUTELY monitored by RY and her team...thus the output.
Goodness, I seriously didn't think I was bashing Niti in any way in my posts here. Yes I feel that Niti looks bored and uninterested in Manan scenes while Parth still manages to deliver what is required of those scene. And note here, I am talking about Manan scenes given the BS writing given to them this season.
I have talked many times about how Nandani is being thrown under the bus to sell Arya and even Maddy. Even Manik as a character is brought down to sell Maddy. Most of the issues that Nanadani's character face has already been discussed by me in other posts and those that have seen them know where I stand with regards to Arya and the stupid writing of this season to sell him and Maddy.However in this post specifically I just talked about Manan and if peeps would just read my posts here I have clearly pointed out that my main issue is the writing and direction and that I don't see this improving unless the writing picks up. And even with regards to Niti I have ultimately put the blame on the director for failing to make her deliver what she is supposed to for now.I don't blindly follow either Manan, Niti or Parth. I'm as much a fan of Niti as I am of Parth which is limited to Manan and Manik and Nandani.And I have even talked about where they both deliver such as the drunk scene somewhere here.I give credit where credit is due and if anyone found my post offensive to Niti then I'm sorry that really wasn't my intention.
I'm sorry but I can't pretend that Manan is back and everything is fine and hunky dory.
The STORY is the pits...heck there IS NO STORY to be exact.Manan is full of random scenes, lacks consistency and the direction sucks big time.The current Manan have no nuances in their interactions, not even that of a normal couple of Saas Bahu drama level. (forget our extraordinary platinum couple, this version of Manan is an insult to the original to be honest in my POV)Even Dhurvlya acts more like a normal couple than Manan and I mean the regular normal variety...because I see many saying that Maman act like a normal couple now unlike S1.Niti's looks bored and uninterested in her scenes with Parth, specially any scenes with even a hint of intimacy be it just those involving showing concern and care or the so called "romantic" scenes of this season.The only thing that is note worthy and deserves credit for whatever Manan feels there is, is because of Parth for 95% of the time . Even with the horrible writing and lackluster quality to Manan scenes and cheesy dialogues, Parth manages to portray passion and intensity on Manik's part but with the shoddy writing and an uncooperative costar he can't sell Manan alone. Parth alone just can't sell Manan,...not with THIS writing and THIS director even if we discount Niti and what ever her problem is in portraying Manan these days.I feel they should end Manan now, and carry on with the rest of the cast and free Parth from this.The director is obviously incompetent which is why he/she is unable to make Niti emote as she is supposed to even for these lukewarm scenes between them.If Niti wants to continue, they can bring a look alike of Nanadani who can romance Arya, be bffs with all the guys of Space academy and have tashan with numerous Maddy's.Just have Manan leave to Pune together to live with Manik's dad to live happily ever after and free Parth and us Manan fans from this torture please.PS: I'm saying this irrespective of all the issues with how Nandani is being used to sell Arya, her friendship with Arya, lack of an over all story line for S2 and the loony saga called Mukti/Navya and adoption.Even with all this if Manan charm can be brought back then the rest does not matter. But as it is now I feel that there is no use in even talking about these issues because its so irrelevant compared to how Manan is being diluted day by day..And actually with this Manan, characters like Arya is going to TOTALLY RUIN Manan if they continue in the same vain.Edit: I'm eternally grateful to Niti and Parth for giving my Manan of Season 1. You guys gave me the best love story ever so far. And of course how can I forget RY and the great directors like Rajeev sir and the rest of the crew of S1. Kudos to all of you guys. ❤️
