I could feel absolutely nothing for the two crutches being used for the next track attempt in the series - RK's bizarrely conflicting with his wife about the pregnancy, and the constant harping that the film won't succeed.
The talk of not wanting a kid he can't provide for makes utterly no sense from a man who dreamt of his kids with his beloved Madhu even when he was out on bail on a murder-charge with a possibility of getting hanged. The CVs may unfortunately not find the required amnesia convenient to cause lapsed-viewership to induce self-whiplash and believe yet more uncharacteristic clunk.😕
And there's no way that the heroine and film won't succeed, since the CVs are perhaps somewhat unlikely to get funding to attempt majboori-marathon repeat after the tight budget they already got for showing an entire film's shoots on proportionately lesser expense than the nivaarans-track alongside. Whatever effect they want to show of Madhu becoming heroine has to happen now when they have shown at least this one film even in straitened format. After the witless majbooris that were increased on every front to make this film, to make Madhu the centre of it, to use RK's money for the film but have him accept the lesser role in 60% of the film and then absenting from 40% of the film, and the other tons of stuff where the film is supposedly for him by staking his house and money for a film that was guaranteed from the very start to benefit not RK but only the director and the heroine, they have already done everything they could and yet continued the previous tracks record in inspiring no sympathy-TRP for the majboor leads forced to do things the mass-audience wouldn't support.
Both angles are drowned in residual clunk from the majbooris-marathon used to make Madhu benefit without her intending to benefit while making her say all of it. *Why* couldn't they have Mehul convince RK of the bad ideas, and Madhu benefitting without having given the final persuasive dialogue each time?
One may feel for the shoddy writing and for the lead pairing who have carried the most unfortunate creative ideas through on their charisma, but certainly far more so than the lead couple whose characterizations has been rendered nonexistent so that the CVs may force square pegs into round holes all over the place in each track.
As for RK and Madhu, they will remain conveniently ineffective depending on whether that ineffectiveness will help make Madhu heroine without her intending to benefit, or will have her pregnancy conflicted without her being the one to not want the child.
RK has remained conveniently weak, unbelievably ignorant and idiotically incompetent in the past several months.
The previous track needed him to be stupid so that the villain would look more dangerous, so RK became stupid.
The current track needed him to remain stupid so that he would accept Madhu's advice and waste his money on making a heroine-centric film which was guaranteed to be useless and professionally destructive to him from the very start.
So he accepted Madhu's backfiring advice and put his money and house at stake to stupidly make a film which would benefit not his career but rather the career of the undecided heroine, and then Madhu became that heroine.
Now the track needs one of the couple to not want this child, and the CVs can't show it being Madhu.
So the husband who accepted her backfiring advice and got himself turned into supporting actor now conveniently keeps saying he doesn't want child.
And the wife who could insistently make him change his mind about his film repeatedly on point after point - placing him at the director's mercy for a story that would do him no good - now can't convince him about their child.
Clunkdonia all around.
And the CVs think these interesting tracks with both leads behaving out of character should succeed.
They can make the imaginary film in their series superhit via clunk.
They can't make their actual series-tracks even slight hits, because the actual mass-audience doesn't think according to CVs convenience.
The litany of ludicrous professional, financial and medical majbooris suddenly afflicting RK that Madhu was then shown being mahaan and rescuing him from by herself stepping into the limelight evoked no significant viewership-increase and no sympathy-TRP to take it out of the lesser part of the inadequately mediocre 2+ TRP range, week after week and month after month.
And now, this new phase track, which would have succeeded had RK chosen to push Madhu into acting without majbooris.
But not only had he been majboor, it had even then been her choice for his sake.
But the point which is the iceberg for this grand-intended Titanic is the point at which he was paralyzed and his unmaterialistic wife was suddenly shown uncharacteristically caring about the house and money (which she is so dismissive of now) enough to convince her husband to become a supporting actor written out of 40% of his own financed film, rather than her convincing the director to change the story to accommodate her husband's handicap.
Had they shown the director insisting, and RK stupidly accepting that and convincing Madhu to become the changed story's mainstay, they might now have some ground to expect mass-sympathy for her, when she 'unexpectedly' overshadows her husband in a movie in which her role was the more important character for 60% of the film and the only important character for the remaining 40% of the film.
Instead, both times was by dint of *her* convincing her husband to accept the director's backfiring preference instead of convincing the director to accept her husband's circumstantial requirement.
Why the heck couldn't the director have been scapegoated for this nonsense without having Madhu made a part of naively ensuring the situation which would then 'unexpectedly' benefit her?
They have created tracks for almost nine months now that have caused the mass-audience to grow increasingly detached and demotivated for the series, leaving only a viewership base that is steadfast but so inadequately noncommensurate in TRP-terms for the series-budget that tracks were earlier given a month or two before being modified or scrapped, but now - after the second channels-sponsors face-off - every week and fortnight enforces modification of tracks if those tracks don't manage to get the TRP-success that had been assured of.
An extremely popular couple's adversity's viewing-draw is the expectation that they will struggle and triumph.
This couple struggles to further its own detriment, every action transparently obvious as sure of a backfiring result weeks in advance of the debacle actually unfolding in the episodes.
Each and both of the lead couple are shown doing things that can have one guaranteed result which is not to the mass-audience's taste. Everything else is ignorable background.
What is not to mass-audience's taste is not adequately compensated in any of the consecutive tracks by something that would be to their taste shown in enough amount of screentime to make the other stuff endured.
Depression plus disinterest plus the assurance of lengthy weeks of the leads not realizing what mess is happening and each exerting to make things worse with no move to realize their individual and collective blunders.
Each track has been different, and yet on these points it has remained consistent, and has ensured consistent results in viewership and track-continuance each time.
Clunk is ignored if the point is appealing to mass-audience tastes and brings in budget-commensurate TRP. Otherwise, the shoddy writing lies threadbare and the ideas are scrutinized for the extent of marketability.
The CVs lack of sense in portraying the leads lacks of sense, compensated by sponsors sense in not curbing spending only if the viewership increases fast, with slow viewership increase getting proportionately limited money. And that is both leash and liferaft, with the assurance that the leads will be able to pick up the pieces again even after several weeks or months as they have repeatedly already.😊
