I don't normally make posts but I do read the threads here silently but I just watched the recent episode on hotstar (10th july episode) and am just kinda baffled so wanted to make a post. I am sorry but this is just not making any sense anymore. Does anyone else feel like they are literally repeating S1. I have seen S1 and even some of the scenes are repeating like Bajaj holding the phone for Prerna. However S1 didn't feel as forced for some reason. This time around, I just feel as if things seem forced. It isn't flowing at all. And now I actually liked Kasauti season 1. Ronit and Shweta were impeccable actors. Yay the storyline was ridiculous but still the actors were so good and strong that they made you wanna watch more. So I was all excited about a possibility of a reboot thinking how awesome it would be considering season 1 was so amazing but it has been a disappointment. Maybe it's been Ekta is just trying to repeat the first season over and it doesn't work that way for many reasons. Firstly, Prerna in this season is just written terribly. She comes across as weak and pathetic at times. Don't get me started on her dailogues especially recently where she keeps rinsing and repeating "mere dil mein dhadkan mein sirf Anurag hai." Kya gisa pita dialogue hai. Say what you want about season 1 but if anyone has watched it, you cannot say that Prerna was weak. God, it seemed like there was nothing that lady couldn't do if she just set her mind to it while this Prerna is very submissive and weak.
Maybe many of the issues are coming because of how much they extended Anu-Pre storyline this time around. In the first season, Anu-Pre were only together for a little while and then he marries Komolika. While in this season, they really made Anu-Pre storyline a big thing and in doing so made fans love Anu-Pre and really kept making a mockery of marriage in itself. Is se shaadi, us se shaadi, dhagi is shaadi, sindoor bina shaadi. Ye sab kya joke hai? So anyway, in S2 they really explored Anu-Pre. This show started what in November and only now she is marrying Bajaj. Maybe thats why this seems bizarre. Coz the love story had a lot more time to build in this season and its weird now to see that within a week she is marrying someone else (yay its only been a week). She could have tried to get out of it. Rather than repeating her gisa pita mere dil aur dhadhkan mein anurag hai, she could have made Bajaj realize that she will not be loyal to him after marriage. How can anyone be loyal to someone their heart doesn't approve of anyway? Aren't most people loyal to the ones they love or are they loyal to someone just bc your name is tied with the other person. And what does loyalty here mean anyway? Like does he want her to be faithful as in not sleep with Anu or he wants her loyal in all situations such as sticking up for Bajaj and siding with him. If it's the latter than its meaningless. Even if she sides with Bajaj in front of society, what is the point when she isn't really siding with him. Like who wants to live with a woman or a man who just sides with them/is loyal to them out of obligation. Im not understanding Bajaj's motives here either. I have a feeling he must know that Prerna has been good to his daughter thus he decided she will make a good mother for my kid so he decided to marry her. S2 to following closely with S1 (besides the dhaaga marraige and crap the storyline is pretty much the same) so I'm guessing thats what it will be. Im sure Ekta will add some revenge plot too where Bajaj hates Anu and wants revenge but even if he wants revenge against Anu, this whole blackmailing Prerna to marry her thing is just so wrong. Like who does that? This is 2018. Maybe part of the issue with why this whole story seems lame may also be because the audience has changed. It's 2019. This may have worked 20 years ago but today it seems silly.
So in summary, I think all of this (poor dialogues, story being rushed, forcing Bajaj down our throats, weak lead heroine) is making this show seem lame and the storyline forced at this point.
PS I really loved Mr Bajaj from season 1. This show is actually what made me really like Ronit Roy and I went on to watch other shows/movies including. So I'm not bashing Bajaj or even Prerna since I quite like Prerna from season 1. The only person I really disliked in season 1 is Anurag. Not surprisingly I dislike him in this season 2 but for different reasons. In season 1, I hated him bc he was so weak as a person. He couldn't stick up for himself in front of his family so he got walked over a lot so it was easy to root for Prerna with someone else who could fight for her. In this season he does fight for Prerna (at least tries to) but he's so slow. How do I explain what I mean by that? Like its so bizarre that he feels the need to talk out loud and let us know what he is thinking all the time, and how it always takes him forever to figure something out and how he is always running around town saving Prerna's ass and she is saving his I guess. Koi aur kaam dhanda nahi hai kya? Literally. No work for either of these two people. No wonder their business is suffering this much. Koi dhyan kaha deta hai business ko. Why work when you have love? Paisa toh bus haath ki dhul hai na. When you have love, why fear? Lol. Anyway, all in all at least season 1 had originality. This season seems a lame replica.
Allright that was my very long rant or whatever you want to call it. Just frustration building up over many months. And I didn't even get into how annoying, weird and idiotic Komolika was in this season. Post would have been a lot longer if I had.
