You know Manali, honestly I, actually all of us have complained so much that I'm simply tired of complaining and criticizing the show... It seems like SUCH a waste of time and energy when our criticisms/opinions are never taken into consideration by the creatives and worse they are dabaofied by few people in the forum itself as basically being as the part of a minority so small that its almost insignificant... We are not an insignificant minority or even a minority here, but thats what its being projected like so why should the creatives take any notice?... Yaar EVEN if we are a minority, our voices deserves to be heard and not be debased, and should atleast be taken into consideration.
Regarding the track, I totally agree! Well said yaar! You know two characters in the show that I would say are as different as chalk and cheese are Mayank and Uday... Its obvious why they are so different so I wont go into that. But I will say this, these days the MayUr scenes and Mayank himself remind me of Uday and his scenes. And that really says a lot. Such kind of buffoonery from Nupurs side where she wants Mayank to wear her 'pyaar ka locket' or how Mayank is so sickenly love-sick with Nupur (which reminds me exactly of how Uday was love-sick behind Tamanna and CJ) and totally Hitler-like with his insistance on Nupur saying the three words... Its just unnatural. I don't even recognize these characters anymore. They've become cariatures of their previous selves.... In the beginning sure MayUr had humor and comedy but the difference in THAT type of comedy and this type of comedy is that, THAT was NATURAL. It came from MN's inherent differences and was not forced in anyway... It was relatable and made us all laugh WITH them... But this kind of comedy is really artificial, because it is not consistent with their characters at all, their characters are being exaggerated and made to do stupid stuff just for some cheap laughs... and that too we, the audience laugh AT them and not with them... Unfortunately, the creatives don't seem to have realized the difference here and since they saw that some MN scenes made us laugh, they relegated MayUr to the 'comedy' jodi and fed us their Uday-brand of Ghajini-comedy through MN...
The worst part about this is that, while such an exaggerated humor is okay for Uday's characters as he is supposed to be a comic relief and isn't really supposed to be a complex, three-dimensional character... This kind of comedy really strips MayUr of their essence and just their complexity. They're human-beings for godsakes, not some cartoon characters who just act totally stupidly all the time. Just like a good pizza should have the right mix of many ingredients so should a good healthy relationship, there should be emotional bonding, romance, humor, ego (you cannot have an 'I love you' without an I), compromise (You cannot have an 'I love you' without the you) etc. all in a balanced measure. An excess or shortage of any ingredient can spoil the taste... This date was an excess of stupidity and humor, and short of proper emotional bonding. Or in simpler terms, I always think that there are two essentials features to have in every healthy couple... that is attraction (this one's a no-brainer) and friendship. I see a lot of attraction with MN, but the creatives have shown little to NO friendship (aka emotional bonding) between MayUr... Case in point, how many times have we seen a simple scene with MN just TALKING and sharing their honest thoughts like normal human-beings, like normal friends? How many times have we seen post-confession Mayank NOT thinking romantically about Nupur (which he does ALL the time)? How many times have we seen Nupur actually considering and introspecting on her feelings for Mayank? Hardly to never. This is what the creatives have turned our MayUr into. Honestly I'm sorry I don't care if I'm reported with this, but I think this needs to be said....I don't see ANY creativity or respect or attention to the audience's demand with the way they've handled the MayUr track... I think some of our FF-writers would've done a better job... I just seriously despise the show for what its done to one of my favorite pairs! 😭.
