I had been highly disappointed with my kudi's first marriage and her determined efforts at self inflicted pain. It was a sure put off for me and many others I'm sure. I stopped watching the show and relied on Joey's update. My reason for hanging around then was to stay close to my friends on the forum. To relieve ourselves of boredom and inane arguments, we started entertaining ourselves with puzzles etc. That kept us busy till the track changed. The only loyalist to the show was Joey who filled us in with the story through her regular updates. And I shall always be appreciative of that.
The wolf was bumped off and we rejoiced on the forum. Champagne flowed and glasses clinked. The sound of merry laughter was everywhere. We eagerly waited to see how my kudi would extract her pound of flesh from her bitterest foe, her new husband. There were several kodak moments which made all my beautiful dreamers swoon. Expectations ran high. Many thought romance would bloom although most thought there should not be too much hurry in that. We gave our views on how the track should proceed.
But this euphoria soon dissipated. We were subjected to a story that wasn't moving forward at all. The same arguments, the same suspicions, the same accusations and the same outcomes. Sigh !
The characters of the main protagonists started getting warped and twisted out of shape.
Cracks in the Characters:
Rajvir's character did not seem to have any substance. He was getting weaker and weaker. He was shown to have no confidence in his abilities, blaming his wife for all his misfortunes at his workplace. He had a two point aim. The RB for his father and the destruction of the KKs. He seemed to have no conscience when he sent Sohan tauji to the gallows or had mamaji falsely implcated and arrested. How shallow could they have depicted a hero? And he still doesn't show any signs of improvement. The latest on his list of deeds is drinking when down, yelling and manhandling his wife, and, throwing her out of the house.
Mahatma Gandhi, J Nehru, Gokhale, V Patel were all lawyers. They loved their country and could see through the goras. So why was the dingbat hero shown to be such a sycophant? The first two were educated in England too. And so many more who threw away their black coats to serve the country. Did these figures never impress the hero? All the above were pacifists and were never that abhorrent of the revolutionaries as our brainless hero is.
Kranti was the forum's kudi and definitely mine. She had spirit, she had courage, and she always had her wits about her. Her love for her country was very appealing. Her zest for the cause, her secret meetings with the KKs and her subsequent job at the office (kacheri) showed the substance she was made of. She did not care for riches or the goras. Her sad circumstance of being orphaned young, of being ill-treated by mamiji and cousin, always caused the viewer to sympathise with her. Then came her marriage to the wolf. We were subjected to 3 weeks of TTT (taunting, trauma and torture). That was the time when the creatives showed signs of mismanagement of the story. She started behaving like a ninny which was not liked by us at all. But, she righted herself when the wolf died and we did see glimpses of the old Kranti. But again, she started getting stale. She appeared shrewish and belligerent all the time. This got on the nerves of many here. The last straw was the scene when she wept and returned to the household like spineless idiot.
Rani Laxmibai was born in an era much earlier to Kudi. So were those young girls involved in the Chittagong conspiracy. What valour they showed and what courage. But our heroine started weeping when she was asked to leave the house!!!!!! Is she really a KK? I doubt it. She is good at frying puris, making halwa and dropping notes in the WPB. And her friends, the KKs are shown to be nothing more than bunglers. Their source of inspiration is Kranti. Good grief !!
Wake up !!! This is a call is to the Cretivs / Channel / Writers
You have to do some immediate damage control. Please do not show the heroine as a stupid illiterate woman. She has greater characteristics and greater heights to reach. Please do not show the hero as a devious, insensitive, unprincipled person who is unconcerned by the country's struggle for self rule. He needs to be shown as a man of honour who can influence his father that the RB is not that important if you have to compromise on your honesty. Let him be shown as a man of good strength of character rather than some yes man. It makes him so cheap. Please divert the story in such a way now where both the characters can improve upon themselves.
You have an intelligent niche audience who doesn't want some milk and water romance or silly conversations. They want a solid relationship to grow between the protagonists, an unbreakable bond and a compatability of mind and spirit. Are you mature enough to deliver these? I'm sure you can do it if you put your mind to it.
It has taken me a long time to put down some of the points buzzing in my head in short. I am very unhappy at the way the story is progressing. Please friends, add your names if you feel the same way I do.
Joey, I appreciate your taking up this issue with the channel and the actors.
