Agree with many of your points especially regarding the dearth of ideas. But again, here I have a different take and I find that the dearth of ideas was mainly due to the repeated attempts to try to shoehorn a bapre story by hook or crook. You may disagree and Thats totally fine but the attempts to somehow start a bapre story was obvious especially when you see the show against the backdrop of its predecessor. Now talking about the similarities of that season is against the rules here, so I wouldn't delve into it, but everytime the show tried to fall back to the same formula, it suffered.like i said in my post i don't think they tried to establish the couple but agree they shouldn't have tried to go back to the old formula. This season AnuPre were shown as a divine (found this offensive) soulmate couple. it wouldn't have been easy to establish a different couple for the leads either way. they should have executed the PreRish marriage in a different way. even though i love RB it didn't sit well how they got married, it was too left field, 2 fast & 2 furious 😆 they should have done that in a different matter & don't even get me started on the fiasco that was 'Ek Chaath' track 🤢 they ruined everything with that, including the tashan filled chemistry of Anu & RB, absolutely loved their scenes, they were the couple i loved (purely in terms of intensity in acting & chemistry, better than AnuPre & PreRish 😆)
But for Anuneprekokyunmaara, I completely blame the planning and execution. Either the makers miscalculated the extent to which audience disliked Bajaj i don't think that's entirely true because RB has never been given a track of his own independent of the 2 mains or that stupid filler track of Nivi trying to seduce him 🤢 so can't really gage their reaction. but i would have preferred it if they kept him as villian & concentrated on his back story to the Basus or AnuPre vs RB. as a character or they knew it but still forged ahead hoping that this dislike could be converted into a like by butchering anurag. The result was the bridge and leap. But this did not have the desired results. See, the covid 19 diagnosis and the lockdown only exacerbated the inevitable. This show was never going to work this season if any other characters were going to be made into the happily married couple. i agree this season the narrative of the main couple is totally different & establishing them with others would have been difficult but not impossible. they could have done it properly if they really wanted but they were lazy when dealing with the lead couple so others didn't really stand a chance . Whether that was because the audience had already seen that in kzk 10 years ago, or because the audience these days don't like the lead couple to move on with another character, I don't know. i agree ITV had changed but for the worse (again my thoughts). It's all about the numbers so the story suffers. But ultimately no one watches TV shows to learn life lessons. i agree, some people want escape from reality. but shows can be both entertaining & written very strongly. there's better content available on OT platforms & some on tv, so it's not hard. my main problem is that all FL's are tested poorly across the boards & everyone just accepts it, expecting nothing better so nothing changes. It's for entertainment, and a lead couple who love each other and only each other against all odds us a heartwarming concept. It's when the execution of this concept fails, due to character butchering, unlikeable characters, insane story lines and terrible writing that things then become unsalvageable. Which is what happened here. totally agree here.
Having done the unthinkable with Anuneprekokyunmaara, I wish the makers possessed the finesse and talents to handle it. But alas! 😆
As for what's happening in the show now towards the end, Well, I guess everyone is doomed to disappointment. Or relief. Or both 😆
