WHY Your Negativity Is Ending your Show...

Look.

Why are you reading this post? What made you open this link and give me five minutes of your time? Its because you give a damn about Rangrasiya, okay? Its because you care. You don't know me, and if I start discussing the current world crisis with you, which is much more important than some fictional show on some random desi channel--- there you'd go, to the small X in the corner, to click and shut this window.


You still with me? You think I have something important to say about Rangrasiya, and just from that--- I know you care. This show matters to you. Yeah, with all the crappy tracks, with the rage you are feeling towards Saurabh Tewari for being glib and stupid and saying things like--- go ahead and do a legal battle to fix the TRPs, and until then, don't bother me with your petty issues. With too much of the jokey, teasing Paro or the joru ka gulam Rudra or the Wood-Thy-Name-Is-Mala track.


You want intensity--- because you care. And even if you get them onscreen acting like a married couple with about 6 kids and even with you devouring a simple hug as if its manna from heaven, you care. Every time you complain about the lack of an intense Rudra or the requests for something to bring romance in--- you care. You whine, baisa, but you care.

So guess what? The show has you. It has your I-F friends. It has the TV spot reserved from Monday-Friday (and during Maha episodes please God), 10 PM onwards. And you know what? Until the show shuts down---and beyond, on YouTube---you and BOTH know--- we will watch this time slot, this channel. This magic, Baisa, is still there. And more importantly, the promise for the magic is still there. This post is to remind you of this-- for once, the show we watch-- it has the kind of CVs one can actually feel good about.


We can rely on the CVs to do their jobs, and if you agree that the Paro in your head is NOT going to be the Paro onscreen---and that's okay too--- you'll see she is a damn fine woman, no matter how shes shown. If you don't like a track... you literally have to wait one week, and you will be able to see a change in the direction. You will not see a BD through 5/11/22/44/65 days, as you HAVE had to deal with before. You'll see a random guy's back in 2 shots out of the 25 that shows you the Major Saab himself.


Give the CVs a shot, give Parud a chance-- because every time you have, they HAVE delivered. Remember the scenes on the 20 th (a date forever etched in our heads?) They did that. The concept of Paro asking for the Major's hand, surely a first on Indian TV? Them. The concept of showing Paro as a village girl, the epitome of traditional, still being strong enough to TALK about whatever is in her head--- and Rudra being man enough to do the same? Them. The open communication between a couple that IS Beauty and Beast, only eons better? Them. The toe-curling chemistry onscreen ...okay, that's Sanish--- But the dialogue? THEM.


So ignore Tewari. He just funds this. But the CVS have NOT disappointed you as badly as you think they have. The first three months of the show still bears repeated viewings, and the last 3 months of the show have given us some incredible moments, (along with some uneven TRP hunting.) But instead of saying -why chase the TRPs? Remember this-- Remember RR is in the field with competition, so comparisons are merited. And as a watcher of other shows, let me tell you-- the CVs for RR have given you NOTHING as bad as other shows have offered to their audience because of their TRP hunt.


You don't have Goopi Vau, Phlegm Dikra, you don't have Bobbo, you don't have Archie-ana and the Munna Bhai. You don't actually have kitchen politics, if you think it over. The concepts RR deals with--betrayal, love, security, safety, family--big ones, right there. Sure, you've had vamps and mothers, poisoned laddoos et all-- but no one has yet accused Paro of evil for forgetting to cook the evening daal. THAT'S kitchen politics.


RR actually has not approached the dregs. So you know what? I'll make a prediction, right here, right now. Tomorrow, Monday, you'll be in a good mood all day, though it's the START OF YOUR work-week or a weekday, and you have horrible classes all day. It will still be--- You, waking up, thinking.. AHH! Finally! Thank God for Monday! You'll smile like a loon at 10 in the evening, wherever you are, because either you'll be watching the show, or looking forward to it being uploaded somewhere, or hell, you'll be on India Forums asking --- Kya hua? KYA HUA!!!! As fast as your fingers can type.


You'll talk about how the show SUCKS nowadays, even as you calculate exactly how tightly Major Saab's arms have wrapped around his bride and can she even breathe? And you'll tune in, as long as it takes, for the magic has not faded.


So what's with the negativity, baisas? Be open about your passion. Be frank about it. Im not asking you to send a fan letter signed in blood when you don't feel like it-- but hell, a little positive criticism, some critical analysis, some discussions aren't impossible naa? I'm saying this because there are silent viewers who get really freaked out by the forum's negativity, who truly think things are awful (when those of us obsessed with RR are the ones saying its AWFUL with a capital A). Who get depressed when forum members bash not the characters--- but the show itself.


There is a difference between constructive criticism and "f**k.. I'm outta here" style comments. You and I know you don't mean it. You expect a lot, because this is your passion, your entertainment. You've lost your heart to a man in a moustache, now there's no going back to when things were normal and you only liked stubbled fashion designers. Thoda venting banta hai.


BUT---those seeing this reaction day after day--- they don't know its venting. They'll quietly go out into asli duniya, and they'll simply--- not watch at 10 pm. You and I wont do that. Major Saab needs us. But those people? They'll make the show lose its audience, without even meaning to. And you know what, Baisa? You, who's been on the forum and are reading this long ass essay? It'll cost you exactly the same energy to be optimistic, instead.


You care, Baisa. Farak parta hai, Baisa. The fact is--- Tewari, he knows he's got you. He knows he's got me. He says--"dekhna hai toh dekho." And kya karu? Mujhe dekhna hai. Bohut saal dekhna hai.


Aap nahi dekhenge, meri saath?

UN RES..
