Hi Friends

The serial Mamta has had its ups and downs, highs and lows with respect to the story track. We all have liked the serial at one stage or the other, but now, the common feeling that all viewers have is that , the writers need to be more logical and realistic in their story tracks..

So Friends, can we clearly explain what we as Viewers expect to see in our favourite Serial Mamta... 😳 We plan to mail this particular thread to the Creative Team of Mamta..

So Friends, what do you feel right now about the serial? Which are the areas where the script writers need to concentrate? What are the plus points of this serial? What do you want to see in future, what is it that is keeping you glued to this serial? What type of changes do you want to see in the story track?

Friends, this is the right time to reach out to them... so dont hesitate, write whatever is in your mind. But please put across your points constructively, use the neatest words possible... 😳

So write on.....

Mamta Dev Team

To,

The Creative Team,
Mamta,Zee T.V.


This serial has been one of the best ones on Indian Television with a very different storyline😃.I really enjoyed watching this serial especially the main leading pair of Anand Suryavanshi and Neha Mehta 😳 ..The story was moving with a great pace and the magical spell casted by "Akshay and Mamta"😳 made us to remain glued to our television sets from 7-7:30 p.m. weekdays😃.

But since a few months,after the death of Akshay,the story is going not only out of track,but it has started losing the main ingredient of this show i.e;"Akshay and Mamta."Without Akshay and Mamta together the show is in doldrums😕. The re-marriage of Sid and Mamta is really unacceptable 🤢 for an ardent fan of Akshay and Mamta like me.Natwar and Satya ought to have been kicked out a long time ago.....Madhav's entry also makes no sense but I must say it played an important role in ruining Akshay and Mamta's beautiful world...😕The story can still be rescued before it sinks like Titanic,if the writers pay heed to the views of Mamta viewers like me and many others.We all want Akshay and Mamta to be united back with Krish 😳 as a happy and a loving family.The unnecessary streching of some scenes should be avoided,some of the scenes are often illogical like the encounter of Akshay and Mamta..she hardly recogonises him,with whom she was deeply in love😕,though she very easily recogonises Arjun as Sid,and even strains her relationship with Akshay for that....I mean who is this Sid?just a friend😕 and Akshay is supposed to be her love and life,is this the intensity with which she loved Akshay that she is not even able to recogonise him😕How is it possible?.And puh-lee-zz get a control over the creepy and disgusting mind of Tanisha...She always gets away with all her cunning plans...how come?😕She too needs to be kicked out from the house...let her plan her ugly designs outside the Srivastav house,perhaps in a jail😆.Mamta and Akshay needs to be reunited soon😕.You guys definitely need to pull up your shoes before it's too late😕.This is a gennuine request from a big-big fan of Mamta😃.I really don't want this show to lose its charm😃and dive headlong into the drains,seriously😆.I want it to be on top of all serials😃.

And for God's sake and this serial's sake don't even think of a generation leap,cos it won't land you in success but into chaos.Seriously,there's no need for a leap.The characters are so young..why are you people making them Dadas and Dadis.Please don't follow the footsteps of Balaji cos we like the present season of Mamta and we'd again savour our eyes with good entertainment if you guys pay attention to the crumbling storyline.Akshay,Mamta and Krishu are like oxygen,water and food for this show.Please don't ruin it😭.

I really hope that you people would consider my request 😃.Thanking you

Pooja 😃

Ever since Akshay died, the play was lost track and the main idea is gone. Can you please get Mamta and Akshay back together as husband and wife with their little cute child Krish. Could you possibly get Satya, Nakul(Natwar) and Arav kicked out with Tanisha. Thanks

To,
Mamta Writers, Creative Heads, Producers and Director,

A non prime time show - Mamta, has been thru loads of ups and downs. Regardless of the issues with the stories and many other factors, the show has a good set of fans for various reasons.
What ruined mamta? - Bloopers!!!! Alright, we still accepted that, and continued to watch the show, in anticipation of a better story and to watch our favorite actors. Be it Anand, Ajay, Neha, Krish, we continued to enjoy their performances despite the story flaws.
Honestly, you have butchered the story ENOUGH… Its high time.. Akshay turning into shaan - BRAVO.. Awesome job.. But atleast use the twist well. What was the whole point of sid hitting the guy who came to their house at night, and wished to identify the kidnapper by the leg wound, when that was easily forgotten… two episodes later, it wa all washed off.. Mamta going on and on - mera akshay sinda hain, yet, nicely went and wore a widow's dress… Everyone care about mamta getting re-married, ksine nahin socha that satya is a widow, nakul is close to her, so get them married off? And yes, did I mention that Mamta's story began when tanisha wanted to get the 500cr. Rupees that krishu's great grandfather left for him and thus tanisha wanted a kid so that she can get that money and that's when the surrogate mother hunt began, and now, tanisha is after one cr rather than getting 500crs… no one wondered that the money will be split between Arav and Krishu, or may be only arav will get the money as he s older… Guys, you really need to start paying attention to these details. You are falling out on TRPs and audience appreciation… This isn't a movie, where 20 people write the reviews for the movie and that decides the fate of the box office.. This is a television show, 7-7:30 decide the fate of the show and your critics are your audience. You cannot afford to loose out on them.
Lets talk about the generation leap… Are you really even considering this? Any leap means, NO KRISH… TRPs will drop since people will miss the akshay-krish chemistry. Also if Anand or Ajay are NOT in the show post the leap, you can seriously bid farewell to your show…
Anyway, I don't want to break my head on this any longer. Just make sure you understand what you are doing and actually do think about ALL the factors. And also, I plead you guys to be a bit more professional.. How can you just write in your article - "Those actors who wish to be a part of it, can stay" Please stop displaying your insecurity towards the show so openly in media. Oh well.. Good luck with everything.. Just hope you realize what you are upto…

Mamta creative heads,writers & directors....


well .......well...........I was a little reluctant to write here bcse I wasn't able to decide on what I hv to write.....there r many things... 😕

sorry to say u people hv already ruined this show........all chars.......didn't even spare the leading lady of ur show...infact she has become the worst char...she has become so weak, insincere, strange & of no values........we can't see even a scintilla of 'old Mamta' in today's Mamta....if ur central char is shown as so weak,dumb & insincere,then what is the msg u r giving to viewers???r u people asking us to be like Mamta...and be a loser & cheater in life....

It's not that Mamta got remarried to Sid......but if u r showing such sensitive things,then there hv to be strong reasons....should show things convincingly ....u can not change the character of people overnight.....u can not forget what u hv shown in the past....a lady who was shown as so strong to fight against all odds in life alone,who had sacrificed a lot,who had sticked to her believes even in difficult times turned in to a weak,selfish & cunning woman in no time....not just Mamta ,almost all chars looked dumb,weak & inconsistent.....in the process of recycling the same thing again & again ,u people hv ruined ur own chars...........😕

how will u account for things like -Mamta who recognized Sid/Arjun not recognizing her hus,Tanisha living peacefully in Anant's place after trying to kill Krish & Damayanti,Sid saying that Akshay himself has told him that Satya is his wife,Mamta very comfortable with Sid even getting physical with him,Mamta getting angry at Krish for remembering Akshay,Mamta not remembering Akshay,Madhav & his plans forgotton-and much much more...I don't expect ur serial to become realistic overnight....it's not possible...I know....but atleast make some efforts to make it a little more enjoyable to watch....show things a little more convincingly....and pls pls stop degrading ur main chars & showing strangest & undigestable things....

Akshay,Mamta& Krish were/are the nucleaus of the show😕.....their pure & strong relationship was the beauty of the show....but bcse of the recent developments their reationship looked so ordinary & weak....every good thing u had shown in the past goes in vain.........why can't u tell story of strong minded people who fight prblms in life without giving up easily.....prblms r bound to come in everybody's life...we need to see our heroes & heroins overcoming those not succumbing to those......

Here a prblm comes,and next moment relashionships r shown as broken ...and how many times it happened?...weak people & weak relationships...who wants to see such stories?

And for gen.leap.....I hv only one thing to say....only a few people do watch this show now....if Andy & Krish r not there,I'am sure u'll lose half of them(viewers)....I'll defo stop watching it....that is for sure....u can take a leap of 6 months(max) and show AM's new baby been born and continue the story from there
..................................pls....................... ...........it's a request ................
...........thanks....... ...............

Mamta creative heads,writers & directors.... :

i think you need to pay more attention to the storylines that you intend to introduce in your episodes in mamta for example:

in relation to comas, showing a person in coma for more than 2 weeks and then that person coming back to life is not realistic..........people who are in comas and do come back to life are in a coma no more than 2 days (statistically)

hmmmm......let's see here what about your theme for the show..."mamta".......i thought this show was about motherhood and the different relationships that exist and expanding these relationships within a family........apart from the beginning when your show first started airing on tv, the theme of this show seems to have disappeared.

i think discrediting akshay's character with these same typical, thoughtless plots do not help his character to grow in the show and it hurts your show's performance in terms of the audience wanting to relate their real-life experiences with your show.

none of your characters have strengthen their growth as people in this show..............i think the misconceptions that you have portrayed in your characters are not realistic.

i think you need to do your research carefully with respect to the storylines that you intend to represent in relation to your characters.

with this said, the aspect that is keeping your show alive (temporarily) is the actors/actresses in your show.........specifically the chemistry between akshay and mamta, the child who plays krish and anand's (who plays "akshay") growth as an actor.

i think ajay (who plays sid) is a stale character who is confused and has no sense of direction.........his character really needs his credibility restored in order for the your show to progress forward.............i think karan needs to have his own storyline and go through a developement in his character......i think tanisha's character's negative personalities need to be more hidden and cleverly thought-out...........her actions on the show are portayed very poorly and her schemes are unrealistic and too obvious to identify.

i think her character needs to be explored more in-depth as to why she has become this bitter, vengeful person........her childhood needs to be explored, her father needs to be involved in your storylines..........was he a bad person?.......was he the cause for tanisha developing into this negative character.

maybe they could show her as a good character for a couple of months and then perhaps you can introduce a storyline that would cause her to revert to being a negative character again, without letting the audience (such as myself) be aware of her sudden change so quickly.

also, i think the show should get a primetime slot....to increase its ratings............i think the show need to refocus its plot and stick to expanding relationaships in a family..........that would motivate the zeetv producers into moving your show to a better timeslot since teh audience in the evening are family dominated viewers.........

i hope mamta can turn it around for the better.

Raj

OK, i am late in responding here. So most of the important points have been conveyed by others here... So no point in repeating the same things..

But in a nutshell, Akshay and Mamta along with the little Krish has been the crux and nucleus of this serial.. The serial began fabulously with the concept of Surrogacy handled so nicely and delicately.. 👏👏The manner in which Akshay and Mamta were brought together, was indeed great. The awesome chemistry of AM was really the icing on the cake as they really sparkled as a pair and gave the right essence needed for this serial.. The best days and best phase of this serial todate was the phase where AM were married and were together...😳 We cannot forget those days, but it is indeed sad that those days are just memories now.. 😭😭😭

The serial lost its flavour , the day Sid made his reentry.. By saying this, i do not say that the reenty of Sid was not needed. No.. This is not what i mean. But the twist with Ria, Anamika and Arjun really took the essence out of this serial.. The plot related to this was dragged a lot , many viewers actually lost interest in the serial then.. Later came the grey shade of Sid.. Sorry to say, but even a big big Sid fan did not like this twist in the tale.. The writers here managed to kill and butcher the nice helplful character of Sid.. Sid from then on looked really confused and a misfit..

A lot is said and written about the enormous bloopers that have been made in the script.. I do not want to write all over again.. I believe in one thing now.. We cannot cry over spilt milk.. Whatever has happened has happened.. Mamta's marriage to Sid was totally not needed, there was no big reason mentioned for this twist in the tale..

The only good thing that we have seen in the past one month is the entry of Shaan.. Shaan has been a big hit with viewers... 👏👏👏

But now, we have read few articles about the Leap that is being planned.. We are not aware whether things have been finalised or not.. But, please please consider all our views before deciding on the leap... 😭😭😭

The leap will not be aceepted at all for the reasons listed below:

  • As mentioned above, Krish has been a big big reason for the growth of this serial.. If not for Krish, this serial would have lost a big chunk of viewers.. So the leap only means that there will be no place for this kid anymore... 😭😭😭Please do not do this.. Krishu is the Heart and life of this serial.. The leap only means that there will be no close scenes between Akshay and Krishu.. 😭😭The father -son chemistry has been one cute happening that has kept the viewers glued to this serial even after the break in AM relationship. So kindly do not do this.. 😭😭
  • The leap(wonder what the duration for the leap will be) should not be a big leap... Even if the team decides on taking the leap, the leap should not be a big one.. It will be nice if they take a leap of a max of 5 years... This means that the protagonists will still be young and we probably have a chance to see the same stars enacting the roles.. If the leap is really big, then we never know whether Neha, Anand and Ajay will be part of the team.. This will be a big big setback and probably this will again mean that the small chunk of viewers who still view Mamta , will just stop seeing the serial... The writers here should plan to make their story better so that many viewers get glued to the serial.. But if the leap happens, then it will be the total reverse of it.. The serial will certainly lose the chunk of dedicated and loyal viewers... 😭😭So is this what the writers want to see?
  • If the main protagonists are taken off and the story now moves to the next generation with new stars emerging , playing Krishu and Prachi, i dont think the viewers will be interested in watching, even if it means a new freshness is got to the serial.. Please understand that the freshness to us does not mean to see new faces as protagonists.. Freshness to viewers means good and logical and realistic scripts... So please do not take the extreme step of Leap, wherein you will sacrifice good actors like Neha, Anand and Ajay... The serial will never work without them.. This is for sure..
So please please reconsider the decision of taking a leap.. We as viewers would say that instead of a leap, it will be better that the serial ends with a happy note, with Sid and Mamta living happily everafter.. Akshay with his kid Krishu lives his own life, peacefully away from Mamta.. This will be a more logical and sensible ending than the leap... So please consider all these things...

from the article it seems 'mamta' makers r planning a generation leap in 'mamta'...........

sorry to say we just can not accept this thing.....there r a lot of things still left to show or can be shown with this generation of people itself....a new baby is going to be born....and lot of scope is there to take the story ahead without a gen.leap...

we watch this serial for our fav actors....for me,I'am watching 'mamta' just to see Andy & Krish...if there is a leap,then it's sure that Krish won't be there...and we will miss the papa-son duo & their beautiful chemistry...and I seriously doubt whether the leading actors Andy,Neha,Ajay & Preeti will contiue to be a part of the show after the leap...if these actors r not there,that means majority of the viewers will quit this show..........no doubt........

if u people want ,can go for a 1 year leap max....not more than that....bcse we want Krish to be there....and we don't want to see our young & hot actors greying their hair........pls......pls reconsider ur decision to go for a leap......pls......just save ur show....u can not ruin ur own show like this............pls

.....................thanks....................

what do you feel right now about the serial? it sucks. big time. this may sound harsh but it's 100% true.

Which are the areas where the script writers need to concentrate? bloopers are aplenty in mamta. first the scriptwriters need to concentrate on writing the script properly. don't lace it with such impractical things that damage the TRP's of your serial.

What are the plus points of this serial? anand suryavanshi's acting & the beautiful megha gupta. that's all i can say cos there's absolutely nothing more for me to add to the list.

What do you want to see in future, what is it that is keeping you glued to this serial? i want to see more common sense in this serial. nothing is keeping me glued to this serial. anand suryavanshi can only keep me from being bored to a certain extent. please get a better script or scriptwriter if you want more viewers.

What type of changes do you want to see in the story track? definitely not a leap. it's not time yet to take such a big step in the story when there are so many loose ends waiting to be tied up. i'd like to see the story become more practical. i know soaps aren't practical but at least let's not get carried away until the drama looks like a messy funfair.

To,
Mamta Writers, Creative Heads, Producers and Director:

the topic of discussion here is concerning your decision to go for a generation leap........well...unless you have been looking at other ratings other than zeetv(?) to suggest that this change is a step up in teh right direction.....then i'd have to strongly object to this as a viewer and fan of this show.

when you look at your strong points that is pretty much anchoring your show.......its the acting of anand (person who plays akshay) his chemistry with neha mehta (who plays mamta) and their kid krish and his chemistry with akshay

going for a genertaion leap would all but imply that you are deciding to take the kid playing krish out of the serial............by doing that you would be decreasing your family audience, who are for the most part, should be your target audience....since they are the ones who can make or break a show's successful/failures

if you look at the top rated shows on zee-tv.......they all have one thing in common........and that's a large family targeted audience.......by taking teh kid, who plays krish, out, you are diminishing a lot of your family oriented audience.

it would be to teh show's benefit if they allow teh kid to stay for at least 2 more years to let the kid grow with your fanbase..........

in general, most actors/actresses do not like this and hence decide to drop out because its not realistic................take the show tuhmeri disha for example................................ .................... as soon as they decided on this gigantic generation leap.......most of teh main actors/actresses opted out of teh show....and thus teh show lasted what, another 2 months???


please think this through and reconsider your decision.

thanks
