The problem here is that this show is a remake of a 20 year old show in the name of reboot. But unfortunately the queen forgot that the formula that worked then wouldn't work today for many reasons.
[What exactly is the formula? If it's keeping the leads separate, then that gets the most trps on ITV today. Hate marriages are popular too. ] ]
1. The audience has changed and grown to be much more understanding of the gender equality and values of relationship.
[On the contrary season 1 was far more progressive, path breaking and gender neutral. The female lead was a working woman, through and through, never took shit from anyone, ran her own business, and had a spine. I do agree that gender equality is big today, but it is yet to reflect on ITV. TRPs go to kitchen politics and women whose roles are defined by the men around them.] ]
2. Maybe the audience then didn't accept but they didn't have sns to show their resentment . Now we have so many platforms.
[Not true again. The audience always asserted itself through emails and mails. Mails reversed a lot of decisions. Brought Mihir Virani back to Kyunki, among others. Also, sns doesn't reflect the stakeholders. How many of these sns users add to the trps? Or the profitability of the business? Plus they don't really reflect the whole strata that's watching just like trp numbers don't effectively reflect the number of engagements. ] ]
3. The leads weren't such a rage then while Parica have a chemistry that's unbeatable.
[What? You do realize why this show got a reboot right? All respect to the current generation of actors, but Shweta and Cezanne were a RAGE. There was hardly a house that didn't tune into the show at 8. The show was a rage. So popular, this one will never compare. And their pair so loved, the couples of the current one will never even come close. And those are just the facts.]
4. Owing to their popularity any other character between them would find it difficult to be established. Be it Bajaj or Komolika.
[Debatable.] ]
5. The most important according to me is that the writers are in a mess at present. On one hand they have to keep up the rail ki patri concept while audience is showing their outrage everywhere which they can't ignore how much ever they pretend to. So they're trying their hand at the most difficult task of keeping the audience and queen happy. In this mess they're making a kachra out of everything and don't know what and how to do. This inconsistent writing is not going to continue for long. I soon see an end to the show totally and only and only queen responsible for this.
[Agreed.] ]
