When this serial first started, I quickly became a fan of this show for a couple reasons: the intelligence of the female lead, the cute storyline, and the chemistry of the lead couple. I was very impressed with how Pakhi was an intelligent, and traditional yet modern woman of today.
However, over the past 2 months this serial has descended into pure chaos.
1) The storyline has become stale and repetitive. The pattern seems to be: Anshuman silently broods and comes up with plans to send Pakhi back to the village, he implements the plan, Pakhi doesn't fall victim to his plan, and then Pakhi-Anshuman share an eyelock. This was cute initially, but come on! I can't keep watching the same snoozefest every day!
2) Pakhi has gone from being a smart and savvy young woman into becoming a foolish lady who doesn't seem to have a good grasp on what's going on. Furthermore, her charachter seems to have no growth whatsoever. What happened to intelligent and charming Pakhi?
3) Ayaan is getting too much screen time. He was annoying in his old serial (Punaar Vivah) and he is annoying here too.
4) The creatives have butchered the storyline and the story has slowed down and isn't progressing. I remember hearing that Tumhari Pakhi is going to have a fixed amount of episodes - so then why is this storyline not moving along? I would love to see Pakhi smarten up and become a bit more independent, Anshuman start feeling jealousy, Anshuman start having feelings for Pakhi, etc. One of my favourite scenes was when money fell under the bed, and Anshuman couldn't stop looking at Pakhi's waist. That was cute! Where has the cuteness gone?
5) The only storyline that seems to be evolving is between Girish and Lavanya. Anshuman's character seems to be stuck in the same mind-frame as when the serial first started. Anshuman is supposed to be a smart and savvy businesman, then why can't his thought process actually seem intelligent? He seems to be doing very little - besides coming up with the same lame plan and thoughts (about wanting Pakhi to leave) every episode.
6) Initially, I was waiting for new episodes of this serial every day. For the past couple of weeks, I've been forwarding through most of the episodes because of the same boring storyline.
7) Don't believe me? Look around at this forum. In the initial 2 months that this serial began, the Tumhari Pakhi forum was pretty popular on IF. Over the past couple of months, this serial has fallen and continues to plummet. It is at rank 22 right now - I remember that there was a time when this serial was ranked 14 or something like that.
8) I am glad that Tanya has made her entry and today's episode was much better.
9) The creatives need to seriously pick up the storyline. They have a beautiful lead couple, a nice set, and talented actors to work with. Can they please just add some depth/creativity/passion/interest into this storyline?!!?
P.S. I would love your opinions on this topic - in fact, I welcome them! However, can people please not just say "if you don't like it, then stop watching". LOL. I would appreciate some genuine discussion, and I hope people don't take this post too personally.
