Hey Guysssssssss!!
This DOTW, speaks my curosity out loud!! 😎😎
Wherever I go in this forum - CCC, Threads, Sticky's, LTL Express, Other DOTWs, or Discussions, I read a lot about how "LTL is different from the other shows", how it is treated differently by the CVs, how CVs always manage to "surprise us"! πŸ˜²πŸ˜†πŸ˜†
I personally have noticed things that have surprised me and also things that have run parallel to tracks in other serials! πŸ˜²πŸ˜›πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‰
So, my questions to you die-hard LTL Fans are-
1. In general terms, what is it about LTL that's not present in "Any" other soaps, or never was? πŸ˜›
2. Give me atleast 3 situations in LTL which underlines your belief of "Being Different". How do you format your answer - Three sections basically -
a. Climax - The "point" where you expected Path "A" but what occured was Path "B"
b. Path A - The path which you thought the story would move to, after the Climax
c. Path B - The "surprised" path that the story actually took after the Climax!
3. In one sentence, give me a PR line (a sellable line) for a newcomer to LTL, that shouts, "Its Different"!
Disclaimer: Oh! and yes, anyone who finds the show cliche' is welcome to say that the above 3 Qs are not applicable for them. Sight minimum 1 reason why you find the storyline cliche'. No harm done! πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜›
So, quench the curosity of this little cat!!
*Rubs her hand with joy*
I am sooooooooooooooo waiting to read all your answers and who ever made a stmt in this forum or in their thoughts or agreed to others theory on this, answer this DOTW! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰
I would probably make this as a Graffiti Banner for LTL! PR at its best or 100 reasons, why you should watch LTL! πŸ˜›πŸ˜›πŸ˜›.....So, get set and gooooooooooo!!
Love,
Catty Cat - DD

hey DD..this is a very nice Qn..i think some or the other day we had to share our feeling abt y we love LTL soo much!..

the concept----well for me..i actually never was interested in daily soaps but found the first promo VERY diff .mahi's face was not revealed then ..but her shabby hair and the slum was sumthing new to me..and this caught my attention..moreover..i loved this dialogue from the promo ,'nakusha' ajeeb nahin lagta naam?' so i thought it is a women oriented serial where the atyachaar on women was focused ..her face was revealed and we were told the reason y she hid her face....so the concept was mindblowing!..never thought that women would hide their beautiful face to stay away from the evil eye...the concept of a girl loving a don is amazing ..i never thought that dons can have such passionate LS'sπŸ˜†i neednt elaborate my feelings here coz we all have the same feeling and same thoughts abt the LS...so i have never seen such a concept EVER even on TV or MOVIES as well!!



2.element of reality---i think the story has a reality element..every character has their own individual role in LTL..whether it is ganpat ,babi , kala roops, kishore or AS or sundar..there is no one in LTL whose not wanted here..every one are needed and are essential in their own respective way.
moreover the evils of the society have been beatifully portrayed by the CV's ...firstly i would like to refer to ganpat here..though he is dazed..such ppl do exist in the world specially in the slum areas men are usually good for nothing ,the women are the bread winners of the family and in between all this its their children who suffer just like how nakku suffered as she was asked to marry malmal for money and how sethji took up the job of robbery its because of such horrible men that such stories happen .they make their life impossible and create probs for other family members as well. so there is so much reality here!..love the CV's for bringing up this subset of community...malmal who is the devil with the name of an inspector(who usually protects the society from evils) was shown as the most hideous person..(which is very much possible)

women betraying men for money is a very common problem but the way it was shown in LTL is very different .and quite understandable.,whether it is the evil sisters being dutta's enemy or gharjamai's living in datta's place ..all of it is possible and is soc much close to reality it is as id every aspect of LTL has been carefully looked at and executed! its not just a LS much much more than that.there are many sisters who think that they have authority over their bro's money..another beautiful prominent prob with a touch of reality! ....
i dont think any show has paid so much importance to the aspect of reality there is usually a lot of masala added to woo the viewers..so i love LTL for this reason!

dutta's life history is very much understandable..the CV's have shown it very amazingly how he became DSP after being betrayed in love....[B]a beuatiful insight to the life of DONs there is always a reason y dons become dons...i think it is very difficult to create a soft corner in the hearts of the viewers when it comes to gangster and dons who r considered as MONSTERS in this worls!...
but the CV's showed that it is the community who forces ppl like dutta to become dons...so dons cannot be directly blamed for being gangsters


3.direction and execution,dialog delivery----this is one of the strongest reason y love LTL..whether it is sorrow , happiness ,romance or anything!the CV's completely do justice to every aspect of the story.i loved the way the CV's showed the present DSP and how he shared his feelings with nakku told her abt the past,how heartbroken he became ,the reason he took up dongiri was coz he is weak at heart BUT physically very strong,how he built a wall around him and became DSP and how this girl came into his life befriended him ..she was the first one to consider him as an ordinary person,not 'the powerful DST'..they gradually showed their amazing chemistry between dutta and nakku..how gradually nakku is creating a soft corner in dutta's hear ,how the ice is melting in dutta's heart...its not easy for a person like dutta (who has strong rigid opinions abt 'love')to fall in love after so much betrayal..the CV's have done full justice to show his feelings his state of mind....

the dialog delivery is superb......one thing i noticed is that in other serials when a character is thinking abt sumthing ,they speak up in the background i mean they say out their thoughts (its actually for the audience to understand what they have in mind).......BUT BUT in LTL i have not come across this..the CV's have a bunch of amazing actors who can express every thing with their expressions and body language and the CV's leave it to the audience to werat theor thinking caps to decipher what the character has in mind...so here not only we watch the show but also get an insight to the character..for eg. how dutta never speaks anything..he communicates with his eyes (neither does hos BG misic say his feelings(and its upto us to understand and observe what he feels...i think its necessary for the viewers to give a feed back or respond so what better way to do this!!..let the wiewers wear the thinking caps and observe the changes in the characters!in this way the feedbak will be awesome!..i have never seen this in any other serial..i have been watching since a few weeks and i love it yet the sudden change in maan;s beharious got me inti splits..it should have been done more gradually...keeping his character in mind...so in LTL changes in characters happen bt they are very gradual reasonable n understandable!....



4.capability of communication the CV's give us the full feel of what the characters have in mind....when dutta was betrayed by seema we felt as if we have suffered dhoka!!...when nakku was targetted after sups elopement we felt as if we have been blamed for it....we could feel the pain ourself!!....the actors do a brilliant job without overacting or without over-dramatizing the act still we get the full feel of it....when dutta held nakku responsible for sups,some of us also empathized with dutta though he was wrong..isnt this amazing how the CV's put us into a dilemma?? πŸ˜† ..when nakku fell in love..even we fell in love..the jungle track was mind blowing..our discussions are quite evident of how we understood their feelings dutta's double-mindedness...
so i think the CV's have communication power...they give us the full feel of the drama without over-dramatizing the scenes....the ambar song was beautifully shot..again dutta was feeling the love realizing it but still he never SMILED or let out his inner feelings throughout the song...coz he still needs tym to do that...so though he was shown mesmerized with nakku tho he was not smiling still the CV's conveyed what dutta has in his mind.....

and i dont think this has been done in any other show!!!!!!!!..LTL is different and it rox!!..kudos to the creatives and the avtors!!..three cheers for LTL πŸ‘

1. In general terms, what is it about LTL that's not present in "Any" other soaps, or never was? πŸ˜›

Firstly just the idea of LTL. Naku is an "ugly" girl. They have never had a drama (at least that I can remember. Bidaai doesn't really count cause Ragini's issue wasn't that she was ugly it was that she wasn't the "proper" types of goodlooking. She was pretty but dark. Naku actually IS "Ugly" I think she's pretty but you know what I mean.) where the Heroine is not attractive. Plus the Hero actually falls for her while she's like this! Not only that but the Hero is a Don a guy on the wrong side of the Law! He's not suave or charming or a flirt or an angry business tycoon workaholic! He doesn't know how to Romance or Love! Never seen a guy like this before in a Drama!
2. Give me atleast 3 situations in LTL which underlines your belief of "Being Different". How do you format your answer - Three sections basically -
a. Climax - The "point" where you expected Path "A" but what occured was Path "B"
b. Path A - The path which you thought the story would move to, after the Climax
c. Path B - The "surprised" path that the story actually took after the Climax!

Situations or Scenes? If situations then how about the DuJi Dostana?🀣 Has there ever been such a Jodi in a Drama before? I think not!

I'll have to come back to this I think! I think I'm confusedπŸ˜†


3. In one sentence, give me a PR line (a sellable line) for a newcomer to LTL, that shouts, "Its Different"!

I'm crap at this kind of thing... *Aisha Ponders*
How about....

Dutta Bhao is HOT.

However, 5:30 in the morning is NOT a time for wise discussion so abhi I'm headed back to bed.. 🀣

So, my questions to you die-hard LTL Fans are-

It is certainly a character like Dutta. Never seen one like him in any other show. The profession makes him stand out for sure as we are so used to business tycoons or heirs of rich families as the male lead. But here is one self made man who is filthy rich and yet in many ways an ascetic. He is a powerful man and yet he is like a vulnerable child. He is a gangster yet a gentleman. He is a king for his subjects and yet is a rustic simpleton who would happily go back to his life of a simple mechanic. Why is he not real?
Apart from Dutta I love the way Naku loves him. Completely selfless and yet bold and fearless while expressing her love. Her man is the most person for her over anyone else. I am so tired of heroines giving importance to everyone else-mother, father, bro, sis, dadi, nani, kaki, kaka, mama, mami, chacha, chachi that this character is a refreshing change for me.
2. Give me atleast 3 situations in LTL which underlines your belief of "Being Different". How do you format your answer - Three sections basically -
a. Climax - The "point" where you expected Path "A" but what occured was Path "B"
b. Path A - The path which you thought the story would move to, after the Climax
c. Path B - The "surprised" path that the story actually took after the Climax!
3 situations:
1. The wedding...most of us expected a wedding with Naku hiding under the veil and Dutta finding out after wedding that he is married to Naku not Sups. I guess we never expected the Dutta Shreeram Patil style wedding that happened. The wedding was an insult to Naku's love but totally something expected from a hot tempered don like Dutta.
2. Dutta decision to seperate from Naku. That was so unexpected and out of the blue. Everyone thought Dutta would now decide to give himself and Naku a chance but instead he decided seperate...who expected that?
3. Another situation happened at the beginning of the show. Kala had tried poisoning Sups by keeping some poisonous substance in her room AC. When Dutta starts investigating Rups says she saw Naku around Sups room. Everyone thought that now Dutta would begin suspecting Naku but he did nothing more than just ask her if she saw anything. That was totally different from other shows. We knew then Dutta is different.
Then there are more instances like Baji's reaction to Dutta slapping him and also last week Dutta actually stopping to think before going to save Naku. Though unpleasant that was unexpected too.
3. In one sentence, give me a PR line (a sellable line) for a newcomer to LTL, that shouts, "Its Different"!
This is tough...I am not good at this so will skip.

well, I actually meant to say that I know ppl, who feel LTL is cliche'....some ppl who dropped LTL like hot potatoes because of its underlying dragging nature......some feel that LTL is interesting but there are lot of parallels that can be drawn between its storyline and other soap's storyline.....so, I wanted to let them know that they too can express their opinion!! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
