Has MJHT jumped the shark? - Page 4

Hey sabah,
You write too well. Like a dream i should say. Hope i could write as well as you I would feel so happy. Ok about jumping the Shark? hmmm... I dont know if MJHt has jumped or not because on what basis a serial actually ends is not known to me. Probably when the producers dont make enough money and/or the Cvs are too bothered with the randomness themselves and/or The actors have got a better role. Most dont end because it has lost its feel. Its a way of making moolahs and drain the public they will, emotionally and mentally.

MJHT will not end now am sure. Its the hen which gives the golden eggs for starone. It has the highest viewership and the most active and creative fan following. Look around this forum and forums of other shows you will know. Me being one of those viewers who actually want this show to improve and stay on air. I may or may not watch it still.....
Do you know that fans actually passed petitions to improve the quality of MN track? have you checked out the Future Scene thread? Do you know many people actually give feedback to channel regularly? Now why do you think they do that? To make a change.....

In india we all are extremely lazy... like jo chalta hai chalne do.... jo accha nahin lagta usey band kardo kinda attitude..but some people are there who take up issue(s) and want to make a difference. For few of us MJHt has become such an issue, might sound crazy but its true.
I believe in intelligent creativity. I seriously care about good serials, movies, books and plays. I believe that MJHT can show the students going from college to another phase of life post college and becoming good and responsible human beings... It would be like a saga of human relations and friendship... Something like friends maybe... and friends did continue for long...

You asked people to be a optimist, I am an optimist and one that acts along with hoping and having faith. I keep repeating this, watching or not watching MJHT is not going to change my life. But as long as its on air and I watch it I will keep expecting more.....Hope I made sense cause am confused what I wrote.

Thanx
Rinky

EDIT :@ Rinky (incase people were wondering who on earth I was talking, although I am sure it was obvious)

Sorry for the late reply, it was time to pray, and then I lost my glasses.😳

Firstly you inspired me to start writing on this forum. Your posts are always a delight to read, whether funny or serious or even seriously funny. You are quite eloquent yourself, just give it time, trust me once you reach my age you would have surpassed any distinction which you may have seen in my musings.

I had never watched any Indian televisions shows, being brought up upon a diet of Bollywood block busters and western tv. However recently I began social work with the youth and therefore in an attempt to build bridges with the youth culture including my own family members, I started watching DMG which led me to MJHT. I just fell in love with the characterizations, the determined attitudes, and all the endearing qualities that they portrayed that they all became beloved to me and of course still are so.

I encourage proactive optimism. Good positive thoughts followed by good actions.

I look forward to your future posts as I doubt I will be watching MJHT anymore, I have decided to go back to the beginning and let my heart fall in love all over again. Maybe I am being delusional but recently I see even upon the actor's faces, especially Mohit, Arjun and Rati a kind of weariness, a strange expression that provokes me to ask, 'Wherefore art thou lost?'

BUT maybe it is me who is lost. For are we not just mirror for each other, seeing our own shortcomings or aspirations in those reflections?

Once again thank you for all your posts and I eagerly anticipate it, pondering over what debate you will pick next.

Hey Sabah,

@Sabah.......great topic:)I like your style of writing:)
Coming to the topic hmmm....you've said it all.....not specifically talking about mjht,I have been wondering for a long time about the fate of all these shows.....I mean so many new ones come up everyday,begining with a powerful storyline....but at the end of the day.....they all deviate.....where one was to talk about social messages,ppl now talk about romance and everything but the real issue!it's sad but then maybe it's all a demand supply game:)viewers demand,they supply....they supply ,demands rise:)..........rarely have I come across shows not deviating!

Coming to mjht.....the one show which iscoose to me,really.....for the same reason as yours!
It started of with a fresh concept,realistic characters,fun and things you'd probably expect in a normal college ...Everything about the show was so refreshing!from mayank,a serious student....always focussed and into studies,to nupur..a dreamer fighter,bubbly gal....to samrat...the cool dude having fun...to gunjan....the softspoken,shy gal... to benjy,uday,shukla sir,deodar sir.... Every character was beautifully written!!
However,like the rest of it's contemprories,mjht too seems to follow the same course of deviation... It's sad...a concept that had so much of potential....has never really been fully realized to it...where is the college to begin with? Where are the exams,studies??or am I too believe that their new subjects happen to be loveology only....little by little it's getting more and more unrealistic!!! The political track could have been great but what an end....and so much drama???I thought mjht was all about simple moments in life.....where r they???

I don't know if it should end.....only because I feel still a lot can be done with it.....only if the creators of the show realize it!!!
All I prefer to do is have hope that maybe with all the feedback,spoonfeeding,criticism,suggestions that they get.....things will change for the better:)

Glory be to God!

For both Senny and Mou.

I have tears welling in my eyes as I write this, both of you have truly touched my heart. All the things that you said about me, speaks more about your hearts than it does mine. Only beautiful people see beautiful things.

All goodness, all beauty, honesty and sincerity are all bounties of God and never will belong to me. This is such an important lesson to learn, for it will open you heart, bring it peace and prevent you from idolizing anything and anyone.

For instance, the coolness of Mayank, that suaveness of action, that feeling of security you get just by looking at him, excellently portrayed by Arjun, and wonderfully penned by the writers, that is visible, it is real, it is beauty and it is light. BUT the best thing of all it is attainable by each and every one of us. If we all strove to fulfil the potential within us all, we could all have our Mayanks or Samrats or even Udays.

There was a recent post about how come we don't have friends like MJHT group? Today you showed all that read YOUR post that we can. All we have to do is let down the barriers, the walls we put up, and like my other new friend Divya today said, "To love unconditionally, without expectation... that is a way to love too"

I am in all your debts for your offers of friendships, God give me strength to be a good Gunjan, Samrat, Mayank or Nupur to you too, and surpass even these standards.

Spend time beautifying your soul, for the light that brings upon the faces and across hearts cannot be found in any beauty cream sold in shops. Then see how people fall head over heels for you, how can they not?

EDIT: Do you remember when Gunjan was telling Samrat that he should be with Sheena, because true love is hard to find, because it can only happen with two people who are pure of heart come together? This is another example that I intended to state but forgot because you have both made me forget myself.

God bless you in abundance and then some!

Sorry,just to add......about the actors looking tired or with that expression,I don't blame them:)not their fault that the story is going to the dogs!Also,at times I believe mjht still is better than the rest of the soaps which have no hear or toe!!!

Mjht has given me great and enjoyable moments....to watch it go down the drains is not something we would like...maybe a graceful ending would be a solution...not stretch the show just for the sake of it....like some other ones(Dmg and co.)but the reason I'm still hopeful is that mjht still hasen't reached that alarming stage.....we still can persuade or atleast try!ofcourse,to a limit:)it has a wonderful cast....maybe things workout:)

@Mystique

I am so sorry for the delay, I had to take a minute to cry and catch my breath, Senny's post just swept me off my feet! (even though I was sitting down)

I completely agree, it is a case of supply and demand. Just like the cocaine business. If the demand wasn't there the supply would fade away. BUT isn't part of the dumbing down of society that we say 'if people want mediocrity let them be just as long as they don't harm anyone else?"

To me to see someone who hasn't fulfilled their potential is as sad as seeing a flower that did not bloom.

I hope you are right, that there still is inspiration to be found in MJHT. Everything is relative. Your beauty is relative to whom you happen to be standing next too. That is why I should avoid Senny, as relatively, standing next to her I would end up looking like a troll!

@ senny, beautifully written!we may criticize as much as we want,we can't forget the beautiful scenes and the fun stuff we got to see in the show....maybe it really isn't the same show anymore.....but I hope it gets back:)mjht will always be special for me.....it has made me relax.,be away from the world yet be close to it:)so in short,I love it:)

Which is the point,most of us watch only the selective scenes....clearly mjht is losing out some charm......the only thing that can save it is it's original self!

@sabah,I agree.....mediocricy shouldn't be accepted...:the reason why we all never stop crying hoarse and shouting or criticising stuff we don't like....but it's tiring .....

You know the truth is,even though I know it's not really getting better,I still am being optimistic cuz it's too hard to let go something so dear!but I'm glad that I did come across something which is hard to let go off....:)

wowwwww you put that so well sabah, i agree, just by looking at M played by arjun soo well that one instantly felt at home, i connected so much to M that i literally use to live his life, i felt so secure just by knowing that he is there, the depth, the seriousness, not the dullness which wasn't really there, this serious and dedicated attitude of M made me literally literally follow all his scenes so well, i would replay and watch them again and again. I would feel like i am there in the show with him around.

i agree true love is hard to find and understanding its worth its even harder,
