Zoe, agreed. And though the supporting actors post-leap are extremely competent, their characters have not been mass-appreciated. But since they are probably not specifically detested enough to make viewers switch channel only for their scenes, jettisoning them promptly would be a bit unfair, especially if they could be kept on while the focus be wrought onto DVD.
The various variations of the ongoing track have all succeeded splendidly in all past versions. Those serials with their many very varied versions and the current one in MEIEJ all have the most necessary factors in common - excellent lead-pairing with superb couple-chemistry and mass-popularity ranging from very good to outstanding.
The only way they could botch this track in viewership is if they go against mass-audience's tastes, and those have been consistent enough for a decade or two that the mass-reactions to any factor in a track can usually be gauged at the outset.
We need them to remain under the villain's pressure for just a few days (2-3 episodes maybe, but not in excess of a week), to ensure that the bond and protectiveness of the couple for each other strengthens and strikes the mass-audience's chord.
But they need to avoid embarrassment of the male lead except in *extremely* infrequent and light dose. The more they avoid that facet (unlike in the the previous many months of tracks), the less the conservative majority-audience is likely to switch channels.
Once that bonding of the couple is accomplished, they can move out of the adversaries-overflowing residence, move into a small home of their own (poverty-stricken would mean greater proximity and more mass-appreciable scenes for the mass-audience), and return a few weeks later to face-off against their adversaries from a position of strength.
The couple getting ground down and bullied under the enemy's roof for more than a few days would be totally unnecessary.
Mainly, DVD's scenes together - without intrusive presence of adversarial or helpful other characters - need to be used to fill at least the first half of each episode.
Let the mass-audience get used to the knowledge that the scenes they would like to see will be in that first half of every episode.
They'll slowly get habituated to tuning in for that, and checking in on the last couple of minutes, and it would help the series start to climb steadily out of its current problematic viewership-lack situation.
Whatever other scenes and filler stuff the series wants to show can be put into the latter half of each episode (excluding the last couple of minutes and precap), so that even if mass-audience switches channels out of distaste or disinterest during those, it won't hit significantly at the episode's viewership-amount.

Leelaa, completely loved your reply 👏. Story development at the right pace is the key element for this new track. CVs need to entertain audience with the current situation of AK's so called revenge saga while developing properly a new bond between RajKumar and Madhu. Deliberately lingering the storyline could very well back fire; no one is in the mood to witness the repetitive vengeful chants of AK avenging his daddy's death (don't want boredom & depression to peep its head).

Today's episode clearly indicated that Raj has a considerate and caring nature and his openness to friendship was portrayed beautifully. I rather see the development of Raj and Madhu's relationship than any other story. As you pointed out, a fresh new place would make the story more attractive; a new place would be marking a new beginning (they could always come back and reclaim the so called RK mansion). I do hope to see Raj and Madhu under a separate roof from all these clowns. Also, now is a great time to let Madhu's character shine; her strength, fortitude, courage, and ability to fight and love should become present on our screens.

Nice discussion RO and Leela. I hope CVs read it!
Taking of supporting characters, wonder whether Kishwer is going to be one of the first to go. There's a TOI article that says that she has bagged a role in Akbar-Birbal..



Kishwer Merchant to romance Vishal Kotian on small screen


Post a successful stint in theatre, the duo,Kishwar Merchantt and Vishal Kotian will be seen together yet again on BIG MAGIC's historical comedy - Akbar Birbal. While Vishal will be seen as the faithful and intelligent Birbal, Kishwar is roped in to play the part of Urvashi - a dancer who is head-over-heels in love with Birbal.

Slated to go on-air soon, this Meenakshi Sagar production is a hilarious sitcom on the popular stories of Akbar and Birbal. With Kiku Sharda essaying the role of Badshah Akhbar and Delnaz Irani as Begum Sahiba, this comic caper is sure to win many hearts.

READ: Vishal Kotian's journey from Hanuman to Birbal

Says Vishal Kotian, "Comedy has always been my forte and I'm glad to be back in this genre with BIG MAGIC's Akbhar-Birbal. From what I've read of the script; the show promises to be wittier, more light- hearted and in line with the channel's notion of only smiles. Having grown-up with these tales, I'm looking forward to the challenge of adding another dimension to the much-loved character of Birbal."

Adds Kishwer Merchantt, "Quite honestly it's a reunion of sorts for me as Delnaz, Vishal and I have worked together in the past. We had a rollicking time then and I'm sure this new sitcom will be nothing

but a laugh riot. We have all known about Akbar-Birbal and this show has been crafted in a very witty manner."

@River, thanks for sharing the news. I guess AS might do a house cleaning soon. Supporting casts are always need it for the progress of the story; they are very much tolerated as long as they don't eat the entire 20 something mins of an episode lol...
BTW, I have missed the most these sort of discussions- episode discussions were my daily addiction until things went you know where 🤢

A most excellent mass-reassurance.
The channel and PH seem fortunately quite focussed on preserving the new couple and preventing any rumours or doubts from arising.
The sehra-masked dulha might have caused doubts about the identity of the bridegroom in the Saturday (29th March 2014) episode's wedding being other than promised in the promos and articles.
This string of tweets is a nice clarification that whoever the individual actually might be under the sehra behind-the-scenes, in the series it is to be understood that it was VD's character getting married to DD's character.
Presumably if the 'father-lookalike' situation gets chafing, they could simply announce that JM is not really RM's daughter, but rather that the new couple are simply lookalikes of the previous couple.
If neither she nor Raj were to be RM's offspring by any logical or illogical reveal, it would effectively sort past the looks of the two of them matching those of the previous couple.
The mass-popular couple being preserved in the pairing is crucial for the series. The parentage may be negated to resolve objections.

New article - Drashti unhappy about the twist?

Apparently the channel and PH unitedly promoting VD's return and the new DVD track, and DD looking constantly at ease and enthusiastic in segments about both factors, needed a kala teeka to ward off any jinx.
All the info from an anonymous source, and not a single comment from DD herself.
She's smiled and laughed almost constantly only while talking of this track, but not in the past several weeks of segments.
Is the source the same one who said the tracks failed because VD took leaves (ST later apparently repeated that or not), even though every track failed during months when DVD were both available?
Or is it yet another anonymous source now?

*
Some comments - print and visual media - from DD herself, gathered for comparison -

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/madhubala-ek-ishq-ek-junoon/3974245/heights-of-delusions

For these, she's actually the one talking and clearly seen on video as verifiably her, strangely enough not at all *unavailable* when she wanted to say she was excited for the track, and laughed and said her series-wedding would be to - thankfully - the same guy.

Strange that she was unavailable only for the new article where so much was said exactly opposite to her laughing and enthusiastic comments in recent video-segments.

Ok so where were these sources when show was going low in TRP's and DD was not looking genuinely happy or excited in any of her interviews... then their reliable sources must not be working right...and now when show is actually getting better...ppl actually started liking it...even DD herself said in last some of her interviews that how happy and excited is she for new twist and turns and VD's return then she is being called unhappy with the show by their reliable sources... seriously... 😵
