Ekta and her genius mind

You know - I've figured out Ekta's trick to keep us audience happy - in a week, we get five episodes of 30 mins each...thats a total of 2 and a half hours.

In those 2 hrs and 30 mins, we get to see a MAXIMUM of 30 mins of "GOOD" scenes, either in one go or spread out in two-three minutes snippets throughout the week - she shows us one PM, one AP and one PRB scene a week to keep each set of fans happy (except of course when there is a MAJOR crisis, in which case we get even less)...and she usually does this in the final two eps of the week, i.e. Thursday and Friday so that we all tune in on Monday in the hope of more: but of course, the cycle is repeated and we get crappy eps for the rest of the week...

This happens in almost all of her serials, but we feel it in KZK the most because there are THREE current/potential/past jodis that we all root for...in Kyunki, at the moment she is going full steam ahead with the KT-Lakshya romance, but mark my words, when it comes to actually getting them together, Ekta Mai is going to reduce the pace considerably...Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii doesn't really have a prominent love track unless you count Suyash-Parvati...and I don't. And don't even get me started on Kavyanjali....even Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka, which started off so offbeat and funny and "different", has begun to show signs of the Ekta treatment.

So, my question is, (and this is a genuine question, I really want to know why Ekta does this), what does Ekta get out of making a mockery of love? Aside from all sadistic assumptions about Ekta's own love-life (or lack thereof), what do we think are the REAL reasons for Ekta's adamant refusal to keep lovers together? I mean, if this happened once, or twice...or even thrice, we may understand it, but the formula is repeated, rinsed, washed and revamped in EVERY new pairing of EVERY "K" show....so why?

Any intelligent guesses? Any attempts to psychoanalyse the phenomenon that is Ekta Kapoor?

Nice said vasu 😆
good 2 c u back again, i was missing reading ur posts

LOL good question ! i dont see kyunki, kavyanjali, kahani ghar ghar ki or nimmo or other ekta serials prominently. i only watch kzk. in that i like anu's character and yes i started liking him because of his whole story- how he has to marry acc. to his mom's wish and how everytime he comes closer to prerna, he has to go away due to smthing happening..how she always misunderstands him when he never wants to harm her, how he tries to make her happy all the time, how he lives the lonely,sad life..itz all so touching.
so i guess the 'separation' worked for me.

Had ekta showed anu-prerna always living happily, i guess i think i wud hv lost interest in their story. it is the complication,pain and separation in anurag's life that intrigues me. Itz the 'kasautis of zindagi'- the tough tests of life in the lives of Anu,prerna,rishabh,sam,kasak,shravan- that have kept me glued to their sagas - not the triumphs.

no comments on prem-mukti! i am not their fan as such!

Thanks Shruti! And thanks nehavarun - I agree, it's always nice for the audience to see the "chase" as it were...the obstacles to true love. But does this chase always have to be long drawn out? So much so that the audience gets sick of it and loses interest...resigning themselves to the sad fact that their fave jodi may NEVER get together? For AP fans, this is entirely relevant...and I fear that it may also be true for PM fans...can two people really misunderstand each other as much as the lovers of these serials do?

Ok to cut it short, I like the pathos...i wud discontinue watching kzk if suddenly they show AP reuniting and sam and rishabh also finding other suitable partners and every1 living in total bliss!

Pathos is the real thing!

hehe i know dat vasudi-newaz nice to c u back

So, what you're saying is that you like the way that the show is going? The way the Anu-Prerna's love story (if indeed there is one at all) is stretched to its limits...and that you like the uncertainty of not knowing the future of AP? Believe me, I am not criticising you in any way, it is really interesting to see how other people think - to each his own opinion, I say!

vasudi vat do mean if there was any at all

Nicely written Vas,
I think you are totally right. The first and foremost thing that comes to my mind after each friday that KZK is aired is that Ekta's writers jsust dont know what they are showing, or for that matter- atleast TRYING to show..

It's finally only the actors who manage to bring some sanity (??) back into the show- I wish she'd give some subtle hints to where her story was proceeding and then continue with it...

What say?
