Pride and Prejudice - what was and what is - Page 2

I haven't read Pride and Prejudice, but from what I do know- what they're showing in the play is NOTHING like the real story.

The Biggest Complain i have that in book Darcy Elizabeth's Views Clashed which resulted in their love story n here in the there just all those dancing on bollywood item numbers! 😕 😆 😆

<br><br>Sadly I don't either *sigh* But woe is me that I'm an MN fan and I had to see THEM being used as a tool to ridicule Darcy and Elizabeth beyond imagination :S<br><br><br>@Caro: Awesome post! 👏👏 Totally agree......RV's the only one who seems apt for his character as Wickham.....the bad boy...even if kinda OTT at times😆😆<br>

Anu I cant even begin to imagine what could be more nagging.... 😆 😆 😆
I mean no offence but MN are quite diferent from darcy-elizabeth, there was way more to both of them that their egos and arguments (which were not superficial to say the least).

I always wonder if there is even one person in the creative team who respected the book for its worth and argued against the idea. oh well I could hardly take Bride and Prejudice.. this is even worse..

I agree with you COMPLETELY @ the Sheena comment. Her character is supposed to be shy and timid- WHY in the world is she dressed like she's about to step into a pub?

*pulls out hair* I am so damn confused you guys.

RV is perfect. He's evil in the play, he's evil in the show- 3 cheers for him.

oh well coco...I recommend you READ it...coz not one interpretation is close to the classic. the british movie featuring colin firth came close to it but nevertheless DARCY is one of my fav characters in literature and rumor has it that ELIZABETH is a reflection of JANE AUSTEN in a lot of ways.

MUST READ THIS SUMMER 👍🏼 . then you'd see the ultimate mockery done here

Ditto! If the creatives REALLY wanted to get 'inspired' from Darcy-Lizzie, the LEAST they could have done was to focus on their verbal sparring atleast! But I guess that requires good dialogue writing skills....and that seems to be a big challenge for the makers of this show🤔

The entire play has been dance numbers, dance numbers, and MORE dance numbers...with ONE scene that's gonna be shown tomorrow...that's it😕😆

Sonali, original Mayank....the one from the early days did have some Darcy like qualities....Nupur is deffo not Lizzie-like but I guess they both have enough ego for the makers to think they could portray Darcy-Lizzie thru them.

Where they went DRASTICALLY wrong was the entire OTT filmypanaa to the thing.....the least they could have done was let MN have some dignity atleast.....but oh well.

LOL I doubt it matters to anyone from the creative team if they stuck to the essense of the classic that P&P is.....such things don't factor into their whole 'show 'romance', get quick TRPs' equation😉😆

Bride and Prejudice was a masterpiece compared to this....😆

>Bride and Prejudice was a masterpiece compared to this....😆<br>


🤣 WELL SAID 👏
I thiink I just felt JANE AUSTEN squirm in her grave

to me they are the pinnacle of love stories! and they are being plainly ridiculed in the name of creativity
