22nd August Sloppy writing

Today's episode seemed sloppily written. Were the writers on holiday or on strike? There was hardly any story or character development, only fillers.

Scenes merely emphasised the characters's deep stupidity and lack of communication. Madhu knew that Malik had been upset by overhearing about her forced marriage. Why then does she create a long drawn out scene of rona dhona in front of the invalid? And holding onto the hand of a person who has had all the bones in his body broken while you are being dragged away...Is Madhu meant to be deeply idiotic, or just plain cruel?

This is clumsy writing and poor direction.

The redeeming two seconds in this part of the episode was the expression on Trishna's face and the sagi sauteli mind game that RK played on his way out with Madhu. It was consistent with the character and his ability to read people and cause them anguish in a well-planned manner. Trishna's look showed that this girl can act, only if the writers decided to actually build her a character rather than use her as a convenient plot device.

Madhu was very good in the scene in RK's house. Again, this wasn't good writing, it was Drashti's nuanced delivery that made the lines powerful.

Summary. Writers need to work harder. Actors: good job.

There is nothing wrong with Madhu crying but she should thave that loud argument outside the sickroom. After all, she knows that Malik over-heard her marriage situation and this lead to a serious fall in his condition. The sanest thing would have been to leave the room, rather than cling onto a dying man's hand like a fool.

and Madhu is not a fool or insensitive, so the blame must go to the writers who wrote such a poor scene.

@ mitalee well said. Them let us offer genuine critiques and provide a forum by which writers are encouraged to raise the bar, and everyone else LETS them!

Yes, it is called critical viewing. One tries to appreciate and offer intelligent and constructive criticism at the same time. Why don't you try it sometime

I'm just playing the devil's advocate here cause it's easy to blame the writers, the director, the actors, the producer and even the channel but never the audience ;)

You can surely blame the writer for poor plot, dialogue and characterization cause they have to come up with a story which is different from all the rest. It really sucks cause if the audience can predict what will happen next , then the writer had done a disservice. But then the writers are not the only ones responsible cause there are very few scripts which are played just as the writer has intended cause the director, actors, producers, and so many others make changes to a script that will water down the story. In most cases the script goes through so many revisions before it will end being totally different then what was originally intended.

But by all means, lets blame them all cause they can surely not blame us for our lack of understanding.
