The only reason to see the show is to watch the beautiful & brilliant actors play stupidity at top notch level.
The only reason to tolerate the series is to read about Shiva & Raavi's absolutely delicious, imaginative, ingenious and awesome FF/SS/OS/ drabbles.
These are my only reason & hope for this show.
Nowadays, I kind of feel like the writers probably hate the characters like Dev, Shiva, Gombi & Raavi . There is nothing called as character growth for these characters. The writers build every thing up to such a hype and then reduce it to mockery and absolute pettiness.
From the numerous discussion in the forum, I am led to believe that the OG is absolutely marvelous and has tremendous meaningful scenes and interactions. Beautiful character growth.
But inspite of having great, beautiful and brilliant cast of actors, the writers are falling short and they are not able to dig themselves out the ditches that they fall into. Most of the time they are concentrating on Dhara and her stupid adventures, which are neither funny nor they contribute to story at all. The early Dhara was so mature and handled things beautifully, learning more and preaching less. She was strong yet venerable about herself. There is so much potential for this character to grow into. But no, we make her the Goddess Divine and put her on pedastal where she can do no bad no wrong.
Raavi and Shiva, our beloved couple, I had so much hope for these two, so much growth potential, extremely sizzling chemistry and the brilliant protrayal of Shiva by Kanwar and the chotu Shiva as well.
I read this somewhere in insta today, if Shivi was the lead or only couple of a show, not particularly this show, but any other, they would have been the best of the best couples on par with I think the greats like Arnav & Khushi, Geet & Maan.
I thought the great build up of Shiva's relationship with Raavi will have a slow and sweet progression. But no we get no progression, we get a small insight into Shiva's character and Raavi becoming another caricature of Dhara and Shiva liking her for that.?!!! Really!!!!!!
Shiva and Raavi, based on their initial characterization, always had a draw towards each other, every Kaand they got physically closer. This seperation was supposed to bring them emotionally closer and to the realisation of their oh so obvious care and attraction towards each other. As I see it, Love is an evolution for this two characters, they are the epitome of physical attraction and emotional need. Both don't need love but as much as they need each other to breathe, survive and just be themselves. My point is more than love, I see a need between these two to be together at all cost, their physical language says that much. Seperate them and you will see a Phoolkumari murjhaying and a Chaattan Pandya breaking to pieces. The desire to be in each other's space is for most for these two. Love is very common to describe their feelings. To explain them and their feelings is not simple, it is however very simply apparent.
However, my whole point was Shiva never needed a reason or comparison with Dhara to like, love or be attracted to Raavi. Raavi is like a whole point of existence for Shiva. She occupies a space in his heart, which no matter what happens or Raavi does, will every cease to be. This is what I love about this couple and the ability of Kanwar and Alice to portray 'them' so effortlessly.
In the ITV world it is very difficult to create a unique couple, it is more of the same always. Alas, this particular point is being missed by the Pandya Store makers, they have treasure trove but they want to use reused tissue for plotline for reasons, I hope against hope to understand.
The conclusion of the Build up of the angst and f seperation for Shivi has eventually turned into a mockery and hilarious jealousy. With Raavi being the object of ridicule and joke. Great!!!!
So, in conclusion to this long rant, please bear with me, I am really frustrated beyond measures. The only reason to watch is now to entertain yourself with cheap drama and thanks to the great actors awesome chemistry of Kdice.
If you disagree with me, feel free to put your point of view, it will give me reason to hope.
If you hate me for what I have written, I beg you to understand that as a Fan, this is my only way to vent and I beg for your tolerance.
