What's missing in KZK 2.0? - Page 3

First, making bajaj exit the show is a huge drawback of the story. No one is interested in a love story without some real trouble and strongly in love (with both positive n negetive vibes) third person.

Ekta's biggest mistake is- she heard her audinece. Audience who keeps flipping their opinions on every second episode.

The biggest drawback is prerna (not talking about Erica, so dont jump on me). The serial is lead by a female protagonist... The positive female protagonist. No matter how strong or how superb a negetive character is, it never hit a show. It contributes to hit the show. Same with the case of male protagonist. Yeah, some girls will sit before the tv set to adore the cute ML or dashing second ML but they wont hit the show. A ITV show is entirely run by the female lead. And i dont know how many of you actually like Prerna. Forget Erica, the actress behind it. Judge the character and tell me if ever prerna had intrigued you to the show in recent months? A big NO. SIDE characters will remain side characters always... Its a Prerna's show. Ekta should bear it on mind and work accordingly.. Not anurag, not komo, not bajaj....

Yes..hitting the nail on the head ..like..WHAT do anurag and bajaj see in her ? That's where the whole problem lies...the characterization of the fl needs a major major revamp...smartness ka s bhi nahi hai, anurag said it right (may be the first and last dialogue from.his mouth which I liked in kzk)

@bold , ditto ! I said the same...

Our opinion matches a lot i have noticed.

And, hai na? Like, larki wo hain jo apko irritate bhi kare, gussa bhi dilay or iske bawajud uspei apko payar bhi ai.. Irresistible... But prerna pe toh bas taras hi ata hain... :/

The characters in KZK are so dumb that we don't feel their struggles. If at least the antagonist was intelligent, it could make the show work but Komo ko to Anurag k siva kuch samajh me hi nahi aata. There is no story in KZK. The whole story of current track can be summed up in a single line: Sonalika trying to separate AnuPre as if AnuPre insaan nahi koi non living things ho jinki khud ki koi identity nahi h. Make the leads interact with other characters for things which are not about their soulmate connection. Prerna's relationship with her family can be summed up as Beta Anurag se door raho and Anu family is like don't go near Prerna. Ghar me aur koi baat h hi nahi karne ko. Office me bhi kuch kaam nahi. Give the characters some life.

I fully agree ,shubhavi and pooja are the only good actors right now ..sahil and molly are also natural ...but rest all are meh..aamna is ok but her role is nuts..

Coming to this reply of yours 😆 From the time I am watching kzk, the only thing consistent with anupre is that they are hardly shown interacting..zero , absolutely zero interaction ..the characters are build up through such scenes , we can know them and understand them only through these type of scenes..about their views about what's going on in their life etc ..I was amazed at the level of stupidity post komo exit , like..prerna didnt care to tell him about her pregnancy, leave the rest aside..her father's murder,the period where she mu anurag, komos exit from their life , what thy plan to do next , what does she want etc...thy were thinking about how to say I love you 🤣this is when she is pregnant with his child , they supposedly got married and slept 🤣 with each other.... they are still on that point currently....how to confess love..tell each other they are soulmates and how much love is there between them...since that time(komos exit) I stopped expecting anything good between them ..they are the most repulsive leads on itv...

@bold 🤣 Office mein kaam hai na..girna padna on each other , save each other from dark rooms and police ..gather all the flying papers..

I am not sure if Mr. Bajaj's entry worked for the show as it should've been. I felt it was rushed and would've made a lot more sense if it was done two or three months after Komo's exit.

I've no problem if male lead gets an equal importance in the show. There were some if not many daily soaps which were told from the ML's perspective which were good but I agree, I don't find layers to Prerna's character. It's a one-dimensional character which is not handled as it should've been by the makers. She becomes happy go lucky one day, and then she becomes entirely somber with the burden of world on her shoulders. I have never connected to her during the show. Even the ML now is just a cookie cutter character without any depth. Their whole kasautiis look contrived and inorganic. If the CVs don't strengthen these characters, Komos and Bajajs can't salvage the show.

Also, I found the motivations of Komo and Bajaj to be artificial. It would have made a lot sense if Komo was after Anurag for some practical reason. It could be shown Anurag harmed Ronit or humiliated Chaube and Komo wanted revenge. But the entire monologue of Komo loving Anu doesn't suit her selfish nature. As for Bajaj, I felt he had some scores to settle with the Basus. Maybe Mohini/Moloy ruined his parents' business or something like that. It was shown he was after Basus but CVs ko-fir memory loss ho gaya and they brought kookie angle. I feel Anurag se zyada memory loss to CVs ka ho gaya.

Bajaj's entry was abrupt i agree but komo was about to exit the show and may be ekta thought bajaj would bring her a good trp like previous season. I must say she failed terribly. She had acted a little dumb here. She alredy knew that anupre fans or nutral viewers oe even bajaj viewers didn’t want bajaj's entrt like previous season. She could have introduced bajaj into prerna's life completely different. She SHOULD know same trick wont work twice thats too with same show (namely reboot). In short, bajaj wasn’t used properly and accurately.

But we all at least agree to Prerna's point.

p.s- Anurag's memory loss is a total shit track as well. :/

Bajaj should have been introduced a little later when anupre realize that they were a flop couple..I mean..prerna valued someone else other than anurag..two they were forever confused whether mr bajaj should be positive or negative or gray..they tried everything with him but nothing worked out..everyone knows ek chatt was an epic flop...the way it ended was even worse...what happened later on was worse than that...if bajaj is so integral to prernas life in this story as well, and if ekta plans to get him back, she will have to give him a meaty character and NOT pit him against anurag ..not make it anurag vs bajaj...and NOT make it a triangle....if bajan doesnt come, anupre are anyways doomed bec ekta will never ever chuck out komo from their lives..she will stay there till the end...

In short bajaj is a flop case in this season.. Its what you want to say right?

I do agree totally that bajaj should have been introduced a little later and a little better. They had turned amd twist this bajaj character so much but nothing worked. Thats the mistake ekta had done here.. You dont flip a character.. You make the audinece like it the way its introduced.

Whatever it is i dont think this show will run long enough unless ekta decide to waste its money on it.

Btw somewhere someone mentioned about cv and writers being new in kzk2.. Sorry for the comparisons but kzk1 even had new cvs. Somewhere i found ekta completely guilt in thos butchered version of funny rebot

For me,

1. The rhetorical notion of being forever in love, that’s the problem! It’s a myth! One love, one destiny and love being the only food for life.

2. The complete lack of trust and chemistry between the leads. Yes, that’s coming from a Parth fan. Anupre as a couple have no individualistic traits besides being GOOD human beings! So? Most of the shows have great character establishments and have interactions with others but these two are in some unknown la la land.

I would like to quote something!

But with trust we can strive to accept even what we cannot understand.

Christopher Ryan, Sex at Dawn

Their love neither has trust, nor has any build up for me to root for them.

3. Lacklustre FL- Her entire so called SASSINESS exists in fighting for her so called ILLEGAL marriage!!!

Dudette, Get a life first and then look for your so called HUSBAND.


In short, an utterly boring story in terms of execution.

Lin Manuel Miranda!!!

Yes, ladies and teenagers, KZK2 needs Lin Manuel Miranda to take it to the next level. A musical stage version of KZK2 is what's missing! 🤣

How can such a brilliant 🤔 show, with thinly-sketched characters, weak sub-standard plots, an ill-defined love-story as the USP, less-than-spectacular supporting cast, one ghastly broken-down set, no logic, no continuation, over-dramatic but cheap and trashy wardrobe, dialogues that are barely audible and incoherent, not attract the attention of the creator of Hamilton no less?

We expect much much more from our daily ITV daily soaps than just entertainment. We should expect and get everything, and it must please everyone all the time! Yeah, it must fulfill all our expectations and achieve perfection. 😆

Many many things that are lacking for me.

Story, screen play, script - The backbone of any fictional creation, which is majorly lacking here.

Lacklustre lead characters - Anurag was good till Komo happened. It's all downhill from there onwards. Prerna, less said the better. Only naam ki Prerna. Actions are hardly inspirational.

Love story - Two people don't become soulmates just by repeating so for "n" number of times. For me, there's nothing interesting in their love story. They don't add anything to each other's personalities. There's no underlying chemistry that is to be tapped into. Trip, fall, catch, eyelock isn't chemistry. I prefer stories which depict a man-woman being in a yin-yang kind of a relationship and that's completely lacking here.

No sub plots - NiviPam, Shivani, Shekhar-Suman just come and go to add something to Anurag and Prerna's story. As individual characters, they're nothing.

Humour quotient - Completely lacking. The setting is really dull and morose.

Rebooting KZK has been Ekta's worst decision ever👎🏼. Nothing much to be said apart from this

Lmao! Your being obtuse on purpose and it’s not cute. Nobody is saying you need someone super awesome to elevate this show.., we are, at least, I am well aware how Indian soaps work. Even by Indian soap standards, and regardless which couple you ship, this show SUCKS. Compare this show to any Ekta show, or any show on star plus, this show will fall apart: lacklustre hero and heroine, poor villains without any motive, shoddy execution, the list goes on.

In today’s landscape of competitive programming, when shows are trying to step up their game to keep viewers engaged, we are all saying this show has no standards, and is quite surprising to say the least.
