From Kuch Rang Pyar Ke, where the initial storyline was unique in certain aspects, we ended up here again with the typical saas bahu natak in KZK2.
Why do we continue to garner the this aspect after we've had shows live Sasural Genda Phool, EHMMBH, IPKKND, Kulfi Kumar Bajewala and even YRKKH where this is not the primary focus. Star Plus had said they moved away from that: Rishta wahi, Soch nayi".
I cannot find this "nayi soch" in this. I feel we have regressed back 10-15 years where this was the common layout of every show:
- mean saas
- good sanskari bahu
- greedy family members
- taking every situation to extremes
- Old guy/ dirty intention.
- yet to come vamp/ other women
I thought this story would be better telling of the original especially since the bar was set low at an IMDB rating of 2.9/10.
If this continues I expect we will see the typical we shall soon see:
- kidnapping
- memory loss
- reincarnation
- leap so the children can repeat the same story.
The Actors and even the directors are doing a pretty good job BUT the story should also needs an update. If we can keep telling the stories of Ramayan, Mahabharat, and other religious stories differently each time to suit our tastes even though the facts are the same why can't we do the same with fiction.
Also, nostalgia that the show offers can be a good thing but it only goes so far. For example, Dus Ka Dum was a failed season this year.
Good luck to cast and crew and hopefully, the over the top drama gets a rest and fresh quality emerges.
