Exactly! Even I think that the makers are just playing it by the ears. After they released the vague mahamari promo & the initial audience reactions came accusing them of making fun of the pandemic, after that reaction they must've made certain changes in their initial storyline. In the first 2 weeks, there were a lot of things filming-wise that seemed a bit too hasty & hotch-potch to me honestly. Though later on they improved greatly from the technical perspective at least.
And yes, I personally do not relate to Rishab's character at all. Seems like I don't even know the guy at all, forget caring about him as a hero. Ritesh's character in comparison seems much more well-written and well rounded off in that aspect. Like I can easily relate to Ritesh & care about his character & his motivations. But I just don't understand Rishab at all who's supposed to be the protagonist here.
Like I said before, I don't even know which couple am I supposed to be rooting for here. Main toh keh rahi hoon Ritesh aur Pratha ki hi shaadi kara do please 😆
Yes, the execution of the first two episodes was terrible and put me off with the show. Later, it got better, and I even enjoyed the last episode: I totally loved the scene when Pratha was revealed as Naagin.
I feel the same about Rishab. And I am one who is coming here after Shakti, so I am used to Simba's style of acting. I could relate to his character from Shakti. I even cried with him when he accepted Heer as a kinner. But this guy, Rishab, for now, I don't care what's going to happen to him... very poorly written.
Maybe, initially Ritesh should have been the male lead character, the typical Naagin hero, innocent good guy who is trapped unwillingly in Naagin's revenge. But, they introduced Rishab's character to create this hate love story and this hate marriage. This might explain why Ritesh is written so well.
They better do something about Rishab because he will not work in the long run if they keep him as a one dimensional character.
