Hello everyone. Nice to see some interesting discussions here.
Agree with you all. But no offence tho, I feel the 'reality' debate is getting increasingly moot. I can safely say that NONE of the prime time Hindi dailies on major GECs pertain to realism as such. There are so many factors like competition/channel pressure thrown into the mix. To top it all for this show, it had some really disappointing numbers. I think mostly their efforts were focused on getting that promo out and airing the contents within the last week. There might have been some behind the scene issues as well, that we do not know.
There are glitches yes. The police call debate... well again that can be ignored in the larger scheme of things they wished to achieve/show. I was disappointed with Meera's and the family's reaction. Fine, they don't intend to go ahead with the social ostracism track... but I think it would have been safe to 'waste' an episode to show Meera's confusion/pain and the family's dilemma. The bed fight and divorce could have been brought in the next day not the same night.
But well that's my problem... not the channel's I guess. Again, I would like to reiterate that it's a daily soap... they thrive on drama.. and 'moving on'... however unreal it might look.They wanted their ratings... and they probably want the ratings to sustain over next week. Hence this rush to get in the new entry ASAP.
