My 1st love in TV shows was IPKKND (though it had its share of OTT). For that time, it was also a differently presented show. But again after a certain twist in the story, it never gained back its charm and I could not connect to it anymore. W.r.t KRPKAB I loved rite from the promo stage. One could just sense the uniqueness in a 30 second promo. And fell in love with the presentation of story telling and ofcourse all the characters. I never thought I would love a show more than IPKKND but I did and somewhere still do.
I had lowered my expectations during the Ishwari going Crazy phase. But I still continued watching the show. I always had 1 hope that the emotions, passion, charm and magic of KRPKAB shown till almost 100 epsiodes will come back soon. And thats what kept me going and not losing interest in the show. But after watching today's episode I am SAD and a little SCARED bcoz I feel possessive and protective of KRPKAB coz its so close to my heart. My fears/questions
1. Why why why NO PASSION between DevAkshi??? Is it so difficult? What is driving that lack of passion - Storyline, Screenplay, Direction? Have freaking NO clue. Cannot be acting bcoz we all knw how good the Shaheer and Erica are and I am sure their offscreen chemistry can only help with online portrayal. So guys (CVs/Makers) plz get your act together.
2. Any happy news related to DevAkshi is always rushed - God damn it why? Be it when Dev finally told Ishwari abt Sona where we all expected some light and good moments between Dixit sisters and Dev or be it now when DevAkshi are united. Give them some time to process what is happening in their lives. Like Epi 76 & Epi 77 - both epi so beautifully show the love confession and DevAkshi's reactions to this big change in their lives. Not just these 2 episodes. They had almost 2 weeks which was a beautiful process. Even during those 2 weeks, the storyline did proceed at a good pace with Neha's marriage and disagreements bewteen DevAkshi and that was beautifully shown. Has the whole team of CVs changed bcoz they dont seem to be in sync with their own style of story presentation which I thought was 1 of the USPs of this show.
3. Loved Asha and Sona's convo. CVs/Makers very cleverly using Asha (as a mother's POV) as the spokesperson & Ishwari's begging for forgiveness (for gaining viewers' sympathy) to convey and convince viewers to forgive Dev. Well, CVs went all out with their creativity for showing Ishwari's unacceptance of DevAkshi and DevAkshi Breakup which did leave a big impact on our minds towards Ishwari & Dev. TBH, after both those dramatic events, nothing that Dev could do to meet viewers' expectations. UNLESS the CVs took it a notch down and showed it with a lil less Dramatic and more Mature approach (something we thought we saw in the promos).
4. After Sona's baba agreed for the proposal, what was the rush to show Saurav calling Dev. It looked like Saurav is Dev's best buddy and all thru the break up was updating Dev on every move. It was so unrealistic. Would have loved to see Asha maa informing Ishwari abt Sona and her baba approving the proposal. And then probably Dev and Sona have a phone convo or meeting with a little bit of awkwardness initially. But then their emotions, feelings and passion for each other which was building up all through the break up phase would break that awkwardness into a passionate hug. May be a nice adult convo between the two after that hug would be so welcomed.
But again breaking all KRPKAB rules, Dev reaches Sona's house within a minute of Saurav calling him. And then follows it with a proposal at a total different location. The makers have always expected and have been successful in getting a clever audience to watching this show. But were they expecting us to keep our BRAIN aside today? I mean SERIOUSLY!!!
5. What was the significance of the Proposal in today'e episode or the storyline? --> NONE
Yes it was TACKY (never ever thought or used this word for KRPKAB and hopefully wouldnt need to in future). I thought KRPKAB is so above all this. Could not see any Passion or Romance bwteen the 2. Like a big piece of the Puzzle missing. Felt like a big DISCONNECT. Like as if, even the Main Leads had no clue why was the Proposal happening. May be Proposal could have been saved for after Dev's redemption Assuming the so called infertility track is to show Dev's redemption by standing up for Sona and supporting her in all situations. But then why all this on Sona...she is always at the recieving end in all these tracks or so called twists. But anyways lets not go there.
6. Shaheer... I love you to the moon and back... but sweetheart its high time you do something abt your look/appearance. This is something we ALL have been talking abt since more than 2 months. Why arent Makers seeing this? Initially we all kinda let it go assuming it was a deliberate attempt for the Break Up phase. But now they really need to start working on his appearance. Past few episodes many of us noticed that he looks and sounds unwell. Ofcourse Appreciate and Respect that Shaheer doesnt make it obvious but we are so CRazy for the show that we pick it up. Another reason for Makers to have not clubbed the proposal in today's epi.
And dont even want to start on the so called Infertility track. Bad and sad timing that Makers give out such spoilers even before or rather on the eve of DevAkshi patch up. Why cant we just enjoy a few romantic DevAkshi episodes without such news looming on our heads? I mean dont we deserve it especially after patiently watching Crazy Posessive Iswari for weeks and then followed by the heart wrenching Break Up???
But being a die hard romantic at heart, I am hoping that its still not late for KRPKAB to get back its Style and stick to its originally promised close-to-reality and unique style of story telling and presentation. Please CVs / Makers...this is a humble request. I just hoipe you stumble upon this post and consider it.
