Hi guys...I so agree with you all..am feeling a li'l better after reading this post, 'cos I was so frustrated after watching Friday's episode, that I wanted to start a post myself, but was hesitant that it should not be considered a bashing or comparison. it is an opinion which I share with all of you.
1. I watch MJHT only becuse of Rati & Arjun, their tremendous screen presence, amazing acting skills & unbelievable chemistry....they make the Mayur track tolerable & MJHT watchable, for me...& I'm sure for a lot of other people....Kudos to these two actors who have such a below average track written for them & yet make it a must watch for us, just to seem them emote with so much passion, feeling & intensity…they make even the most mundane & illogical scenes look great!
- Like what u mentioned Kavya, it almost comes across that a few senseless random Mayur scenes are thrown at us, like crumbs being thrown at beggars after so much pleading & requesting the creatives. I'm sure they are intelligent(?) enough to understand that we want Mayur scenes both in quality & quantity…they should be intelligent enough to understand the pulse of the audience,,,that we want more of Arjun & Rati's acting capabilities to be shown & exploited which could take the show to greater heights…do u all remember how the TRP's came crashing down in a particular week, when there was practically no Mayur & no Nupur on one day….in spite of that, if they continue not giving the importance & screen space to Mayur which a lead couple & specially actors of Arjun & Rati's calibre deserve, there could be other reasons, which perhaps should not be discussed in this Forum. We are powerless to do anything 'bout it anyways. I guess that's why the anger of the creatives for us demanding more Mayur scenes…for all you know, even the creatives could be just as helpless as us!
- Read in the scoops somewhere..that the focus is going to be on the Mayur Love story…they obviously want to be done with it before they can actually concentrate on the track which they have so beautifully & consistently concentrated on, right from the beginning of the show! Besides, for so much supposed focusing on the Mayur love story, they were hardly shown on Thursday & Friday…all we were shown is a meaningful build up to the second love story…so when that starts, all we shall get to see of Mayur will be guest appearances! As u rightly said Kavya, if not for the Mayurians demands to the creatives, they would have been reduced as mere sidekicks!
- 'Bout the play track, being the so called Mayur Track,I see more time, attention & importance given to the other couple…even the ishq hua song had more of them & Uday-Tam & much less of Mayur…in that case, there is no need to say that the play track is a Mayur track…just cut the pretension & say it's a College play track…
- & finally Nupur (Rati), an actress par excellence, whose role & fate is such that she neither gets any public recognition for her talents, for dancing so well in TP, for being a winner of the Academic meet, or for her stupendous expressions during the play rehearsal, in my opinion, she has an edge over the others, 'cos she did not have the support of powerful dialogues which Mayank did or the sympathy factor which Gunjan had in their scenes respectively….Rati was simply MINDBLOWING in her performance with just her consistently awesome expressions & her ability to flow into the soul of any character she's portraying! I think a li'l more respect, recognition & dignity given to the character of Nupur would be much appreciated…it is another thing that I have absolutely no hopes on that or the consistently shallow Mayur Track.
- Oh, & how can I forget the nightmarish editing, & as always, the victims are Mayur…if u all watch the Sunday synopsis or what they show on Sunday afternoons, I think with a gap of a few months, all the significant Mayur Scenes are chopped off, & the Sajan scenes are shown, almost completely!
This is my opinion which I wanted to share with all the like minded people in the forum, with due respects to everybody. Hope I've not offended anyone. My views could come across as strong, but I hope it reaches all the right people.
As Arjun Bijlani said in his recent interview, that we could write to the channel 'bout our grievances, is there any specific mail id to which I could write to & give my feedback? Please do let me know!
Rupa.
