CVs, please split the show!

Having read all the posts suggesting that Ovi has no right to come back to India to help Onir and that Ovi and Onir should stay away from Arvi (and also having read posts some time ago suggesting that Soham-Gauri should not be given so much screen time because their track is totally boring and takes away from Arvi scenes), all with multiple "like" clicks indicating the number of endorsements – I would like to make two humble requests to the CVs. First, please fulfill these demands. And second, instead of the leap, please split PR into two shows after the 17^th when the Arvi wedding takes place. Call it PR1 and PR2 or whatever.

PR1 may have only two main characters – Arjun and Purvi (Pari is too young to be a real character yet). All others in the show may be people in the office, at the restaurant, on the street, etc. The show may have Arvi in a variety of settings in a variety of costumes but always smiling, or laughing, and romancing frequently – in the office, in a restaurant, at the mall, in Australia, in Switzerland, at airports, inside planes, at the dining table eating breakfast, at the dining table eating lunch, at the dining table eating dinner etc. There may or may not be development of new narrative tracks, but only two central characters always! The sets for this show may use up half the water the city of Mumbai needs for the rain scenes in every episode. But it is alright considering the TRPs it would be expected to generate. The only problem may be who will take care of Pari? But since Arvi are successful business people, they may easily afford a good nanny.

PR2 may have all the other characters and their respective tracks. Sunny and Jignesh may be brought back with hilarious episodes of Savita vs Sunny's mother's fights. Teju-Sunny wedding may take place in a simple informal manner. Soham-Gauri story may be gradually developed with good humored bantering between the two. Ovi's career and a new love interest may be developed. Onir's life may also see new possibilities opening. Sachin may get a meatier role and be linked to Ruchi. Punni-Mittal may be brought back either getting reformed or creating more complications. Even Dharmesh, Vaishali, Vandu and Ajit may all come back with each getting their due. Manav-Archana of course may remain the pillars of the show.

Arvi may visit this show for functions of various types so that they can see the family but the converse of any character from PR2 visiting PR1 may not be allowed since that may impact the TRP of that show! It is important to give each show a fair chance to draw its best TRPs!

If the CVs accept my humble requests, they can run these two parallel shows for a few months and then can review the TRP situations for both and make decisions for their future depending on them.

Please CVs, make all your viewers happy!

Balaji is a successful production house, it can afford two shows!

I love you Muse10 seriously BRAVO! BRAVO! 👏 👏 I'm guessing everybody now get's a picture the characters as a unit and ensemble cast help the narrative of the show move on not the the individual character/couple, in fact I'd like to see 'PR1' and see how long it lasts for obvious reasons

Indian serials are probably the ONLY serials in the world that put so much emphasis on cliche romance. I for one avoid any sappy story where it's all black and white and no development of characters or storyline. We have the vamps, the heros, and the decorative pieces aka family members. It's really too 1 dimentional. In the beginning of PR, every supporting characters were multi-faceted. I at times sympathized with certain characters and later felt they were out of line. There wasn't a right or wrong answer. But now it's too animated. There's no depth in any of the characters baring a few.

I have to mention that before Ekta came and revolutionized Indian television, there were many mature good shows. Rishta.com, Sarabai vs Sarabai, Jassi Jassi Koi Nahi many sony channel tv shows. But we can't put the blame on Ekta as it is what the audience wants.

Now it's this repetive Boy meets girl, they fight, fall in love, family problems, yawn, more romance, rain, sappy lines about not being able to live without each other, tears and more tears.

Hilarious comment about needing half the supply of mumbai's water for the rain scenes. I wonder where they find all these invisible rocks to slip on for the purpose of romance.

Great idea! :) lol. Why have PR2 at all? PR1 will garner enough TRPs that Ekta will be laughing all the way to the bank so PR2 and its characters will be redundant anyway. 😉

Hey, I like Archu (and the old Manav), I like Soham a LOT! Hes so charming! I like Gauri too when shes not speaking! 😆 And of course I love Arvi...so which show would I watch? 😲

Really Good idea, TM.

Ekta came AFTER Rishta.com and Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and JJKN! Really? 😲😆

Those shows came LOOONG after Ekta started making her typical saas bahu shows, starting with Kyunki ...though she made a few comedies before that!

But before Ekta came on the scene there were many really good shows like Buniyaad (a masterpiece abt the Partition era), Hum Log (abt a lower middle class family), Rajni (abt a woman fighting against corruption and daily injustices), Yeh jo hai Zindagi (a sitcom) etc. Now those were really BEFORE Ekta times! 😆

Ekta's genre is saas bahu and kitchen politics, not romance.

Nope. Ekta came before. Those are just example of good shows.

"Romance" is definitely Ekta's domain. All the frustrated lovers without their suhaag raat is her trademark 😆 Even the shows with saas bahu stuff, there's always that useless good for nothing husband lurking around whenever there needs to be romance. Touching hands and long eye gazes with sappy BG music and hawa magically appearing or raining spontaneously or "accidental" slips resulting in the lovers embracing 😆 It's like they're not even trying. It's so easy a monkey can do it 😆

LOOOLLL Bahahaha muse10. You almost made me spill my juice!
