They tried stupid triangle that is what cvs mistake was , in that they ruined rk showing him excessively obsessed, if the TRPs would have been good it would have continues and triangle would have gone for some more months , mAdhu comparing sultan to pregnant padmini is utter joke , mAdhu Calling herself pagal as an explanation to save sultan is uttencrap this was not mbeiej we know , when trps did not work they had to get rk mAdhu married and then made a big joke of padmini asking a gangster to kidnap her own daughter. Now to retain sultan in the show they have got a mother sob story , lets see if it work.
They should have stuck with their initial negative characterization of sultan with scores to settle with rk , people would have accepted it.
We all know it is not only leads story and it needs more characters but not the cost of the show itself. Trps decide the future if the show and story , they do not have years worth of story written at the outset , I heard in many interviews that they go on biweekly tracks and they change according to what is working and what not.
Pushing sultan in between marriage scenes was limit , this is the time they are trying to regain some of their lost viewers. If they use rishbala to trick users to watch sultan , soon viewers won't fall into that trick too .
They should have executed the episode well not like sat episode
Superb post. Agree with what you wrote.
Exactly, comparing Sultan with a pregnant, lone & helpless woman was the height of stupidty. A show can not just run by 2 main leads. Story always needs credible, strong side characters who create hurdles, or drive the story forwards by their actions. What was missing was the credibility. A gangster on the run kills so many people in broad daylight on a festival day in chawl, but there is no police. He is , saved by a girl who defends her actions by saying that she was saving a helpless man,and the mother says to gangster that she saw good in him by his actions on day of holi. 😲 I know that being a fictional serial, there has to be some poetic liberty but as I said.. limit to clunkiness of plot being shoved down our throats.
I was actually looking forward for a strong character opposite a powerful superstar. It would have been fireworks and drama unlimited but unfortunately, it was not handled properly. I hope that this track is handled in a better way than the goldie gangster track which has been present since last 3 or so months. I had also hoped that the original track of Sultan being Antagonist had not been changed. But then, how will CVs adhere to their 'expect the unexpected' rule!
Pushing Sultan in saturday was crap. If they wanted to show, they could have shown on Friday.Whole scene of getting his drunkard father at home and revealing the secrets could have been dealt in one go and not in bits and pieces between varmala & pheras. That too, while promoting the whole show as shaadi special. Why hide behind rishbala shaadi promotion to show what you want. Have the guts to promote it as revelation of sultan's story special!
Edit - Nice discussion with all. M logging out. Further posts - if any, will be replied to later.
