why ktlk is not able to grab many eyeballs ? - Page 9

I personally feel the shows lacklustre performance has been majorly due to the dreary writing/screenplay. I find the writing of the show very sloppy and shallow and if the script is poor, then even execution invariably becomes an issue. The development of the show has been so haphazard and there is really no consistency in regards to the characterizations and absolutely no depth in the story. I mean it is very hard to fathom the way in which Nidhi and Ashutosh have supposedly fallen in love ' there should have been a slow and gradual build up to their emotions and feelings for each other over time but all we got to see was Nidhi running to-and-fro from Ashutosh's house for harebrained reasons and Ashutosh giving gooey looks and smiling and laughing away to glory at her antics. I mean it's ridiculous ' how did Ashutosh not find Nidhi's behaviour absolutely inappropriate and how did her barging into his home/life not make him uncomfortable considering she is 18 years his junior, plus an intern at his hospital and also someone he has not known for a substantial period of time? There was seriously no logic to or any justification for any of it. Things have improved over the past 2 weeks but honestly, even now there is nothing that would arouse interest or cause you to take notice of the show. As someone has already said, if the script is good nothing can stop the show from being noticed ' Hitler Didi on Zee being a very clear example of this. Even though the show commenced much later than Kuch Toh...it is doing considerably well because the writing and screenplay of the show is very good, and the story is also being developed in a proficient and consistent manner. Plus, it also proves that time slot is definitely not an issue because if HD can do so well in just 2 or so weeks then there is no excuse for why KTLK could not have garnered such numbers over the last 2 months. Either the writer at the helm of things, Mr. Kamlesh Pandey needs to seriously overhaul his writing or he needs to be replaced. Yes, the latter option is harsh, but I'm honestly getting sick of the half baked storyline and actors such as MB and KK getting wasted in substandard scenes.

On the side, I don't understand why people are hell bent on pairing up Karan Wahi and Kritika Kamra ' he's doing a "cameo" in the show, so how likely is it that they will get paired opposite each other as lovers in the long haul? Secondly, doesn't a young pairing turn the concept of the show on its head ' the story is about two people with a substantial age gap falling in love and how they deal with the trials and tribulations associated with it ' if I wanted to sit and watch another sappy show about the love story of hormone crazed youngsters wouldn't I be more happier flipping to another channel and watching the hundreds of shows that play all that in a rinse, recycle, repeat fashion?

There r lots of factors which r affecting da TRPs of KTLK!!! The jodi is appealing of AshNi n has a great chemistry!!!😳

CV's need to put more effort on da storyline n da way dey gonna present it!!!

For example; wen BALH has started I though it won't have good TRP's despite of having popular actors coz its a middle age love story, etc!!! Viewers won't lyk it!!! Also it has tough compition wid Star Plus popular show Pratigya!!! But I was shocked wen I saw BALH is gaining TRP's from da day one n it beated Pratigya!!!😃

I think Ekta Kapoor knows how to woo viewers wid her unique shows, she is doin dis from long tym!!!😆

Rajan Shahi doesn't noe how to balance da shows!!! He focus more on his other show called Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, wen he knows KTLK is just started n it has tough compitions wid other shows!!! Only Ekta knows how to handle 6-10 shows all together!!! No offence to anyone!!!

Dis happen before Chand Chupa Badal Mein, dat was his previouse show which ended dis year in june, used to air at 8pm!!! It has a huge fan following coz of da jodi but TRP's were good but not dat good as it expected to have!!! Dis is all coz of CV's!!! Even RS didn't boder to spend much time on it as he does on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai!!!

So I would say KTLK is in same postion as CCBM!!!

I would really like to warn CV's n dey should wear their creative hats now!!! Before it get too late!!!😡

Well KTLK has amaizing jodi n I hope it will do well in future!!!👍🏼

MB n KK as jodi is not appealing-

lol how could it be appealing? no shirtless wooden faced, single monotonous expression hero with drool coming out of his mouth...no trembling, shaking, crying bahuu rani with 80 kilos of jewelry... only a dignified gentleman and a very very gorgeous girl...both have stunning smiles.❤️...nooo cant have that can we?? 🤔

I guess its the time slot -- star plus and colors have very popular shows at the same time, and these shows have been runnign for a long time, and viewers are already glued to them , so suddenly they are not able to shift loyalties...I guess 730 or may be 830 would have been ideal

am amazed that ppl think its bad luck? that is such a easy way to ignore the flaws and loopholes and proclaim it as being ahead of its time, too mature for audience, too new to accept. i dont feel thats true.

i loved it when it started , was additcted to it, i left anandis show for it ,mainly as i loved Dk was so keen to see a adaption of it , as Dk have only seen reruns and that too phele, however soon i accepted it will not be DK rather writers own interpretation, that didint bothered me continueed watchnig and enjoying it, loved the small interactions of astosh n niddi , niddi and angi were good. then it all crashed like the stock market.

I agree. The fans here i have noticed are such die hard fans that they don't mind anything that is going on in the serial. They are completely either unaware or just to ignorant towards the way the story is proceeding. For them its just a matter of scenes rather then the totally of the serial, the actors that are doing such a good job, The plot that has been inspired by the much appreciated and sucessful show. Even an amature could have done a better job of adapting DK and remake it again. As far as I know, there is nothing new in this serial so far. Its the same love story that has a vamp to ruin it for the couple in love and other stories that are dragged on and on just to waste time and stretch the serial. Theres is nothing mature in the story either...It might be a bit hard for Kritika fans (the teenagers) to accept the love between and older man and a young woman. Since the fans get addicted to just one couple and want to see them again and again and especially if they're dating then that just does it. I think its actually a great idea to see love between an older mature guy and a young bubbly girl...If opposites can attract then why can't this be accepted?

i feel the downfall was led by the absolute disregard to logic, profession shown. yes love makes you irrational but the way it happned made me feel the characters were forced in being love!! the shadi week turned me back to anandis , with occassionally tuning in to the show. however the events that followed the almost childish behaviour of niddi, malika turning into a full vamp, malikas sis in law fueling and plotting, astosh being a reserved guy suddenly so different for an intern of three days was just too much to swallow. her coming back to see if she is in love with her doctor was the final nail in the coffin for me. the show is now like a jumble, they keep adding more scenes to satisfy chemistry hungry fans, throwing away the logic, ( yes logic and indian shows are usually not toghter but even in sns all the events are always in tune and related to them ( suits the characters) n plot ) there are not suddenly thrown in and dont bring an entirely new aspect of the characters.

the downfall for me is alot of factors, but not the pairing, both the actors do a fine job and are let down by the poor screenpay, script loose direction. there seems ot be no proper plot it just throwing togheter different sequnces events to try to raise the trps all the recent epis reek of a move of cvs only to gain trps and for that they have just tried every trick in the book but lost the essence of the plot. the promos showed a slow gradual not this sudden fast paced. even if he is now sure he is in love with her, she will know then why the distance or reservation as per the promos?

And The love track would have made sense if they would have given it more time. There was so much scope when the young interns started of fresh. I am amazed to see how DK wasn't stretched as much yet it didn't leave a feeling that maybe they could have just extended it for one more episode to just show a bit more chemistry and/or logic in this track of the story. While this show has left so many questions unanswered. There weren't enough scenes between Dr.A and Dr.N to justify them falling in love. They didn't even show the reason why Dr.M decided to wait for Dr.A for 12 whole years even after he always tells her straight up that they can't have anything more then friendship between them. And why did all this talk happen after 12 years when Dr.N was supposed to enter? They could have just shown it all in flash back. They could have shown how Dr.A was a happy person who has friends and a father whom he loved a lot...Dr.M was part of the group along with Armaan etc...but Dr.M was attracted towards him while he didn't know and as time progressed and Dr.M's feelings increaded for Dr.A and things happened in his life he was not interested in falling in love or relationships etc while Dr.M still expressed her feelings to him but he didn't oblige but she still decided to wait. Its okay for a 15-20 episode long show to verbally state all this but when you drag a show for months or even years i think everything should be properly shown but at the same time not be dragged. They could have then shown the Dr.Hard stone at the hospital and how he was strict with his interns and workers at the hospital. At the same time good at heart and a little soft with the kids but not as jolly...and then they could have given the Dr.N changing the scenario by giving it some time about how she didn't want to become a doctor and doesn't like the atmosphere of the hospital and kids falling in love with her and Dr.A also changing because of her presence and personality. Him not knowing what was happening to him and why he was changing and all of a sudden loving his life again or missing Dr.N when she wasn't around etc Dr.M not really jumping to conclusions till then...and then a week of Dr.M realizing what was happening with Dr.A and then maybe another week of Dr.A being under pressure not knowing what was actually happening and then probably him trying to ignore Dr.N leading to sacking her all of a sudden..and realizing him missing her even more then before...and the realization and Dr.M realizing that she also lost a friend...but for now all this was to forced and the whole show has fallen flat with the CV's not knowing what to do where to go...It doesn't even make sense that even after sacking Dr.N he sees her everywhere. Armaans one threat of leaving him making Dr.A confess his love all of a sudden – while Dr.N didn't even see a lot of Dr.As personality to fall so deeply in love with him and then trying to find out whether he loved her or not out of the blue even when she knows that he is her boss and its awkward to be bothering the boss that much or make him notice the new hairstyle while all they have shown is her working there for 3 days and then quit. The shaadi scene was also so fake and forced – like the interns don't even know each other as much nor did they show their interactions only lame jokes and Dr.N talking to them as if she was irritated by them but yet they were invited to a fellow interns wedding and all of a sudden they're like the life of the wedding dancing and hiding shoes as if they know each other since childhood. And the plot where Dr.N accidently takes Dr.A's shoes didn't even make sense (like if it was a mistake she could have just said sorry and given it back to him rather then dragging it for two whole episodes :s) nor did the scene where she was able to force him on the dance floor while others couldn't do it an Intern can't just hold her seniors hand and pull or force him around wherever she likes. Nor can she ask her boss to stop the car at the middle of the road just because she wanted to get drenched in the rain. And at that time she even decided to quit so how can she just act so normal and sing and dance in front of him.

The CVs probably wasted time in making promos, a good title song, and promoting the show rather than concentrating on the script, screenplay and the flow of the whole story and the mood of the show. I don't understand whether the show is supposed to be a happy go lucky light romantic comedy that has little elements of tragedy, or is it a Saas Bahu serial with Vamps calling the shots and wining. Or is it a plain, dull and boring romance/drama – because the mood of the show keeps on switching so quickly that it's so hard to connect with the show. In one scene Dr.N is crying and with the blink of an eye the bua and the servant are making annoying jokes, Then you see a sad Dr.N facing Dr.A when she goes to sign the papers and all of a sudden then enters Rohan and she is pissed at the guy for no reason forgetting that she is sad and hurt. Like seriously at least complete the lines man.

By the promos it showed that the guy and girl would be in love but because of the age factor the guy wont be able to say what he feels for her and at the same time the girl would also but subtle about it not say anything...it would just show an heart to heart connection, understanding and love. The scene where Dr.N is cutting the cake and Dr.A wants to give her a present but doesn't. Or the promo where he wants to call her/or waiting for her call but then decides not to...like where the hell is all that? Where is that unsaid connection between the two characters? They've been more apart and misunderstanding between the two then coming closer for Dr.N to fall apart like the way she has or for Dr.A to confess his love with teary eyes and shaky voice like that :s.

they could have done so much more, they could have shown that niddi fell in love during the internship he while mentoring her, a disspapointment on alot of counts for me. however maybe with karan yes the trpsa or the chaska meter might rise but the plot and future story i doubt. parwarish is much better directed scripted and a treat to watch. very realsitic.

while none of the others saas bahu drams promise reality or differnce , ktlk did and tthen failed to deliver that

So so so much. I am sad to see that they have completely ruined a great love story that had a lot of potential. The two actors from nowhere looked mismatched or to old or to young for each other. The people who are bragging about being open since this is not the old school love story from Balaji people or if they say its for the youth then should be open minded like the youth is today and accept the pair since thats the whole point of this story. The two actors are doing a fab job regardless of the sloppy script and story handling – The show is still in the safe zone only because of these two otherwise it would have completely be out of the Trp race.

Don't know where this show is going to be heading with Dr.A confessing his love for Dr.N. Dr.M still being pressurized by her sister-in-law and all...I see a dead end for this show right here!

And perhaps they should just end it abruptly or whatever rather then making this a completely failed show - and wasting our time and theirs by making the script complex for no reason at all. But i surely hope to see this couple in a different and a better show hopefully because the two look good together and act well.

Well we all know that there is problem at script level ...voting result is also showing this ...but at d end we have to think that making a show is not an easy job ...n after making it running it successfully is even more difficult ...wo bhi at that time when competition is so tough ...n at d end of d day only TRP matters ...saying or writing things r so easy ...so guys relax ...show is not bad after all ...though it has loopholes ..but no show is perfect at d end of d day .
