The pace of the show has gone to shit. In the first month of the show, so much happened and every episode was of equal importance. We used to get atleast 4/5 good episodes in the week before but now we get 1/5 good episodes on a good week. Also doesn’t seem to me like there was any progress in the story post the revelation track for Viaan other than the fact that Katha might have started seeing him a little differently after all of his mahanta acts and Viaan realizing his love for Katha which is really not much considering its been two months post the actual revelation track. Thus, I watch only the episodes that people say are good on this forum otherwise there is nothing new to see in every episode.
Putting down my honest thoughts here please don’t be offended but I do not like the way they have dealt with Viaan’s redemption track. I was expecting him to be volunteering at a temple or helping people in need, teaching kids the right path, giving speeches at charities or corporate events about his own experiences and mistakes and just doing deeds to pay for his own mistakes after realizing it but there really was no redemption other than a 360 degree change in his character after having learned the wrong that he did to Katha. I know he helped dodo with her problems and helped katha find her son but that’s not because he was repenting but because of the fact that he likes Katha or because makers are trying to show how righteous he is. The only scene I have liked the most in the last 2 months is Viaan realizing that he is in love but I like that scene as a standalone as well and could care less about the rest of that episode. In a nutshell, the show has become very boring and just stretching at this point.
Twinkle, I don't think that anyone should be offended by whatever you have written. We feel what we feel.
I personally don't feel the same way. I have seen enough of life to know that the romance which is sold on TV/big screens is not real. I watch the show because I enjoy its story, and all of its characters. I am not from India, and my POV on the ONS and the offer is different. I do not feel that Viaan committed a sin....an error of judgement, yes. It's easy at times to blame circumstances and situations. Some people may view Katha as the victim but I personally felt that she had 2 choices, and she chose to go ahead with the ONS. I cannot accept the mention of sin when there was consent.I am ok with Viaan's redemption track. I don't think that more is required in this aspect. As it is, he is still paying for the consequences of that night through Katha's doubts.
In respect of the pace of the story, I don't have much complaint for I feel that the writers take time to set a track. I was bored during the track where Viaan was acting as a teenager who had to confess his liking to his crush. With hindsight, I now feel that the track was required to bring Viaan down to earth. It won't be easy to earn Katha's trust nor should Viaan take it for granted.
The past few eps are good. I would recommend that you watch them. Please feel free to share your displeasure with the show😊I enjoy different POVs even though they may be completely opposite to mine.
