Way past midnight where I am but checking on Zuby"s birthday thread, geez!, I need to get a life this late hour but don't have much time during the day and voila! there you are with the Nostalgia.
[DD] oops!! Zuby's bday is it? I shld jump to tht thread too :) ... yep, my work's keeping me busy but Nostalgia is what it is!!! 😉
I bet, you would absolutely without a doubt get the oldies and all the newcomers more actively participating if there was an LTL2 with the original casts.
[DD] You bet! I am sure in the night when we pray to bed, somewhere our subconscious shouts... "LTL, Once more, Once more" .. 😛
Unique was this storyline, one needed to understand the subtleties of each characters' mannerisms and emotions and the need for the repitition of some of the tracks as the story progressed to truly understand this benchmark serial, and that is only up to a point.
[DD] Very good points Aneesa... I think all of us enjoyed and understood the eternal journey becasue we understood each character and why they behaved the way they did...And most of the way, the CVs stayed true to the character. That isnt true in oher shows where the best of the character culd suddenly turn sinister! ... but the most unique point of urs that struck me here is the "repition of the tracks". I didnt think of this earlier but you are band ON... This story badly needed loads of "Deja Vu" moments to give our "Gadha" some Ah ha moments!...
The story and the characters' intrinsic personalities took a downward turn somewhere towards the end of the Damodar track. Still though, even with the missing and incomplete pieces to the storyline and the unanswered questions, the audience were still mesmerized with the story and some of the suprisingly amazing episodes the CVs delivered.
[DD] Yeah, I guess u r right... after Damodar's track, the actual chaos actually started. I remember I started making guest appeareances after Naku's face off.
What I would have wanted to see more of and I believe with the expectations from most people nowadays, that this show could have touched on many more social issues as they tried to do in a subtle way and especially with the undertones of corruption, female slavery and social status which is always in the limelight but being addressed more in present time as the media is more prevalent in almost everyhome.
[DD] Hmmm... I think the show's sole focus was on the treatment meted by dark/ugly under-privileged girls and when Dutta became a hit, the show urned its focus on the love story in all honesty!!! So, would you wanna see Dutta, Naku fighting few social evils?
The subtle romance this show had was most satisying to most of the LTL1 fans across all ages and most certainly one could feel its effects without the intense display some shows put on to raise their TRPs and IMO parents/adults did not and would not feel uncomfortable watching with youngsters.
[DD] I so agree! You could feel the intensity of their love with mushy, cheesy lines or touch!...and when the confession really happened, it didnt seem chessy but so epic!!!... BTW, I didnt see their culmination scene if there was one... I am sure it wuld have been shot in the most asthetic manner possible! But yeah, the CVs stayed true to their promise of epic and eternal by keeping the workdly things at bay in their love...
IMO, songs and background music are not always required especially if the actors/actresses deliver powerful dialogues as in the case of MR and Mahhi in her earlier Naku-Sherni scenes.
[DD] but if the actors are not at the top of the game? would the sold elevate the scene?
I believe it would be very difficult to change storylines based on the audience feedback for many reasons that most of us do not understand as we are not qualified and experienced in this line of business but I do feel that there would be an enormous difference in holding an audience attention if the writers and casts had much more collaboration and input on a daily basis.
[DD] Hmm... I kinda agree with you here... I feel its a big misake to decide your future track or modify the current track based on the forum inputs... The writer shoudl trust his instincts bcoz if its not working, he anyways would have a short shelf life!! and the natural writers will deliver the story without comprimising on their creativty... I know 2 shows that didnt know how to extend a soap and created threads on IF to ask the forum members to tell them what they would like to see... and they wuld get inputs from inexperienced minds such as show us the protaganist being irresponsible...and the CVs showed the protaganis sleeping on the couch all along, not working n finally his family kicking him out of the house... there was no edge cuting drama, no problem, no solution... just 2 proaganist getting cosy wheher in the house or out of it... Needless to say, the show was a big flop!

Sigh.
