I have been watching kis desh for the past 1 yr, this is what i wish to say to the creatives.
u presented KDMHD as an eternal love story. but i think now we can call it has an eternal story of Tragedy. For the past 1 yr all that we got to see was Truama, Tears and Tragedy with traces of love and romance here and there. is this u call a love story? i understand that u need some drama to move the story. But is it necessary the the track must necessarily include, death, separation character assasination. In a span of seven months we already had our leads almost dead. a character of a great mom reduced to a witch.
i sincerely wish to ask the creatives can't they present the eternal love story with a decent drama.
u have shown so much negativity in such a beautiful love story that now even when u shown something positive the viewers are scared anticipating tragedy that u may come up with. even a small shot of clicking a photo of prem and heer together is understood by the viewers that prem and heer r going to get seperated permanently.
do u realise what u r doing? if u don't , then let me tell u that u are loosing the viewers confidence on the show and do u think this is good of the show? its a natures law that people look forward for things only with gives them hope and positivity not that which gives them negative vibes and KDMHD has shown so much of tragedy, trauma and tears in the past 1yr that people r now scared to see even when something positive is shown. instead of enjoying the good episodes they are scared anticipating the negativity that may follow. Because in the past 1 yr u never showed happyness lasting more that a couple of days after showing tragedy, unhapiness for
may months.
Here i wish to state that the problem is not with the story but ur screen play is horrible. if u people watch the other serials on the top slots, u might realise that they don't have any storyline at all or they are so simple that the entire story can be said in 1 or 2 lines but they managed the top slots for the past 2 yrs simply because of the beautiful presentation of each and every emotion.
Compared to KDMHD neither they have a strong story nor a lead couple who stand out in million for their mindblowing chemistry and realistic acting skills. but its so unfortunate that yet KDMHD is not able to compete with them because all these serials though a simple story is presented in pleasant way without much tears, trauma and tragedy.
i simply don't understand that why the creatives r adament to turn KDMHD to a thriller or a suspence story. if iam right this is suppose to be a beautiful love story. I don't undertand where did the eternal love story which started off so beautifully got lost.
i think the problem is not with the story but the way it is presented. I feel that there was nothing wrong with the Gourav Sharma track, u could have carried the track beautifully, all that u had to do was to convey to the viewers that Gourav Sharma was indeed Prem with memory loss or Prem faking ML for some reasons. U could have brought few female lead who get interested in prem or Gaurav Sharma falling for heer without knowing that he is her prem or heer coming to know that he is her prem and trying to bring out the truth. The story could have been much more interesting. But u people kept jumping between making him Gourav Sharma one day and prem the other day and after dragging for 3 months u wrapped up the track in the most pathetic and predictable way.
Even in the present track i still hate to believe that Gayatri has truned evil. No i wont believe. U may say the she is another kaileyi who tested her Ram. But In Ramayan Kaikeyi though loved Ram she was never ready to leave her children and husband for the sake of Ram but here Gayatri did. So, for me she is one mother above kaikeyi.
So i still believe that Gayatri is faking and if this is true. I request the creatives to please show it to the viewers that she is faking and still continue with the present track and show as how she is doing this for the well being of Prem and heer and she is going in tune with maya and veera to teach them a lesson.
i again and again wish to point out that u cant make people to look forward to the show by showing negativity. people will be hooked up to the show only if they feel there is somthing positive to see. we have been watching the show for the past 1 yr only with the anticipation that something good will happen. One of the main reasons to watch the show is for the Chemistry of Harshad And Aditi and the acting Skills of the entire cast. But Please Dont Frustrate the Audience to the Point that they wont be able to watch the show even for HC and AG. The egs. are Sumeet and kumkum, prachi/milind, shiv/gouri, all these couples were adorable too but viewers did quit the shows when they found the story became unbearably unrealstic. WE SINCERELY DONT WANT KDMHD AND HC AND AG FATE TO GO THAT WAY. PLEASE CREATIVES PLEASE.
if serials are inspired by bollywood, why dont u adapt simple and light hearted story like Rab ne bana di jodi, K3G, etc. The success fanda of these films were that these were simple story with equal amount of Drama, love, romance, comedy and tragedy unlike KDMHD were the ratio is 90% tragedy, tears, trauma, negativity and 10% of rest.
If BT creatives have left with no creativety in them, then please visit this forum and read the FFs presented by its members. If u pick up ideas from few of them, i think u can carry on KDMHD with decent TRPs for another 10yrs.
On a serious note i Humbly request the creatives to please change the way they are presenting this story to bring back KDMHD to its glory. Please dont spoil such beautiful story that u created. Please dont let down the efforts of the actors who are putting their heart and soul to the character and playing it out so realisticly. We are putting up with the show only for their sake. Please dont let us down. Its a humble request.
thank you.
A request to MODs : if u find the topic offensive please close it.
if u think it can do something good, can u please send the content to BT, as i dont have

wow anoosre, what a beautiful and heartfelt post. These sentiments are what most of the people of the forum have been expressing. Mods, please, please forward it to anyone, anyone you know at BT related to this show, SP or SBS.

I have been watching the show with dread and then not even watching it online (which I would almost always do) fearing that if I do so, the track will change!!!

Once again anoosre, vey well said and hope, hope the creatives or the powers that be at SP will at least read it and work on it.

Very well said. This is exactly how I feel when I watch the show these days. Even though they have shown some very emotional scenes between Prem and Heer I just can't shake this dreadful feeling from my head that this is last we are getting to see them together. Their entire dance sequence in Monday's episode was sensational but I just couldn't enjoy it becasue I had the feeling that Gaya3 would come in and drag Prem away.In the past there were so many instances when we were shown that Prem and Heer would get separated esp during the whole Ash and Manmeet thing or the ajmer incident but everytime they came back even stronger and we, as the viewers, knew that they would but unfortunately I just don't have that feeling nowadays. I totally agree with you about the other shows. None of the shows and i mean absolutely none of the shows have a pair like Prem and Heer and not a single show has shown such a beautiful love story where two people feel each other across continents. I have never seen any person feeling some stranger's pain. I have never seen two people so in sync with each other's thoughts that they can actually feel what the other is thinking. I know such things don't happen in real life but can happen in reel life but nobdy ever tired it before.

The story was so beautifully told till Prem came back as Gaurav. Since the whole Gaurav track started everything just fell apart. The creatives, it looked like, didn't know what to do. At times they wanted to keep him as Gaurav and at times they wanted to bring him back as Prem. Must congratulate HC here on a job well done because poor fellow wouldn't have been able to keep his head around the whole story. But he still did complete justice to whatever he was asked to do. Since that track the creatives have completely taken the viewers for granted. They are relying on their past laurels and believe that the audience will accept any crap that is thrown in front of them. The creatives think they are doing us a big favour by doing this show. At times I feel they are hardly interested in keeping this show going and they are just doing it because of some contractual obligation. If the show has been in the top 10, since taken over by the new creative, it is not because of the story but because of the conviction with which the actors esp Harshad and Aditi portrayed their characters and because of the fans who strongly believe in the concept and theme of the show. If the creatives believe that the audience watch the show for their tracks then they have get their heads examined. Only thing I have to tell them is if you can't do justice to the story then give it to someone who can.
Here I must admit that Vikas and his team did a fantastic job with the story. Even though I was very upset that they decided to kill the most important and loved character of Prem, they did complete justice to the show after that too. Though it was heartwrenching to watch the show after his death but it moved beautifully. It still remained true to the entire theme of Prem and Heer are one. And that is the USP of the show. If the new creatives dont' get this basic thing right after working on the show for past 5 months then I guess either we or they have to quit the show.
One more thing it is very sad that what we, the viewers, can see the people associated with the show can't or won't. Here you have a pair with mind-blowing chemistry, a fantastic ensemble cast and thousands of loyal viewers - what more do you want to make a show click? This show has the potential to be among the top 5 but because of some stupid tracks it is going down the drain. Creatives do you think what you are doing is fair to the viewers who have stuck by the show for so long only in the hope that there will be something good happening? Do you think it is fair on the actors who work so hard (agreed they are paid to do it. but don't you think they would rather do some other interesting project than this where they don't even know where the story is heading as it keeps changing from one episode to the other)?
With regards to the screenplay I would like to say that sometimes it is utter rubbish. It looks like some 10 year old has written it but sometimes it is absolutely beautiful eg: then entire sequence where Prem finally admits to acting as Gaurav and the whole scene after that. Same is the case with the direction. Some episodes are so beautiful and the very next day you get an episode that is utter crap. The only thing I have to say is if the creatives don't have any ideas left then watch some movies or read the ffs or better still seek audience opinion because they seemed more in sync with this show than you guys are.
Mods can you make this a sticky? I think it is a very relevant post.

the creatuves are really spoiling the drama because before whe the whole prem heer track started off i mean when they first saw eahc other, since then the drama really took off and it was considered to be the no1 indian drama, because everyone fell in love prem and his and heers eternal love story, then the creatives came up with useless twists like heer pretending to lose her memory, killing off prem, bringing him back as gaurav sharma and confusing us all whether he was prem of not and then gayatris character taking a complete u turn from the perfect mom to the mother in law from hell who only cares for her on daughter and doesn't care for others daughters or even prem the her supposed favourite child. even then we all stook with the show even though it lost a lot of its creativity and credibility and the trps became much lower and the show is now no where near no1, the thing is it can be no1 again, if the creatives bring prem and heer togther and show their romance and prem standing up for heer because that it what we all want to see

I agree with u. The creatives are ruining the beautiful eternal love story concept of premeer. I used to love the show because of its unique concept and our favorite's jodi's premeer's chemistry. I really hope that the creatives are listening to us. Please creatives dont make this a saas-bahu serial like every other serial in the indian TV industry. I request you guys to change the track as soon as possible...expose maya and veera and bring back premeer together. whatever happens please dont separate them.

Thank you

i wish to thank all of u for ur comments.

here i wish to state one more thing to the creatives
i my opinion what is killing KDMHD is the suspense element that these people bring in each and every episode these days. i understand that these thing they do leave the audience in cliffhangers, what they dont realise is that in the process of doing so they are ending up killing the essence of the story for which is stood out for, killing the character that we loved so much, killing the relationship of premheer , a mother son which we loved so much thus confusing us, irritating and frustrating us that, we end up anticipating something bad even when something good is shown. i dont understand how to tell the creatives that people dont watch a serial to get confused, irritated or frustrated.
what is wrong if they just show to the viewers in a single slot of a epi that gayatri ma is faking(which i totally believe that she is)they dont have to reveal it to anybody in the show .it will make the show more interesting even if prem and heer live seperately because we would get come cute scenes of them and most importantly we can be sure that prem and heer will not be seperated and they will be together in the end. But here even when we get to see some cute scenes we are not able to enjoy it because we feel at any point of time gayatri would end up seperating prem and heer, get them divorced, heer leaving prem and what not. every positive dialoge of prem and heer is understood on the other way.
here the creatives simply fail to understand that the suspense that they are creating is not leaving us in cliffhangers and hopes but is simply frustrating and confusing and giving us negative vibes. how long they expect us to watch the show with this frame of mind.
All i have to say is pray god that some good sense prevail on these people for the good and betterment of the show. hope for the best.
thank you
