That then is the crux of the matter!! And PaRud are not only incomparable they hold our hearts!!
That is indeed the crux of the matter..that this pair was-IS an epic pair..And the reason why we are all so unhappy with Parud and not Sanish, being forced to part !
Loved your takes always, TVbug and this RRousing Climax was a perfect echo of the deep sense of loss I am feeling at a story left incomplete, at two soulmates being deliberately broken apart in order to keep pace with commercial crap. The magic of RR was built on a story of love that was boundless and wonderful, of two completely diverse characters coming together and completing one another...of love being what it should be about - complete faith and trust in one another...and the creators of this lovely saga deliberately drew parallels with the immortal and divine love of Shiva and Parvathi.
So how does divinity get killed? How does the new story justify Rudra as a protector when he failed to protect Paro's life? Isn't the story's most fundamental characterization getting destroyed completely? If there is no "Hamesha" then how will Rudra survive Paro? And if Paro, while dying, gets him to promise to stay alive and look after her baby, can we still ever imagine Rudra letting anyone take her place?
I wish the story had winded up nicely and logically to a "Happily Ever After". I'd have far preferred to keep fond memories of a 6 month super serial, than one of a never ending tale of idiotic scoops. RR was meant to be different for heaven's sake! And I'd have far preferred ST bringing in a Rangrasiya 2 with a completely new story and characters, with AS and SI in the lead again! What a treat that would be !
If only...
Piccola!! Lovely to see you here!! And what absolutely spot on points you make:
@ Rudra the protector: You only have to see PaRud's very own unique pose of Rudra standing between Paro and danger to realise that if Paro dies the way we are being led to believe she will, then all the PaRud brand stands for nothing. Because from their very first meeting, Rudra has protected Paro with his own mind, heart, flesh and blood. He has bled for her, engineered her false death, been engaged to her, taken slaps for her, eaten her share of poison... And now we're supposed to believe that his protection will be an epic fail and that Paro will lose her life as a result!! It would be laughable if my heart wasn't involved.
@ How does divinity get killed?: Yes, the Shiv-Parvati parallels that the CVs went out of the way to draw, definitely beg that question. I hope the CVs are not going to give us the reincarnation excuse - with Parvati being reborn as ... - , because really the viewers are not fools and can see through all such lameness. They had a good few options to explore to bring back the intensity and the TRPs. But they lost heart, stopped believing in their product, and rushed through the story (as they figured it out) at the cost of the viewers' emotional connect.
Gosh, I've been reduced to ranting!! A first for me on this forum!! But if they're going to trifle with our emotions, then surely they must expect some flak.
Sabs.. Your hammer and your aim at the nails in this pitiable coffin are working overtime! 😉Thats not a rant. Thats calling it out.
My last, faint whisper of hope... Ashish, the man behind Rudra, who has never really lied to us ever, except when backing up Sanaya in one of her tall stories ( the nibbling rat! ) saying that there will be a kamaal ka twist, intezaar kijiye, justify hoga, a new chapter in Rudra and Paros lives, etc. Straws? Perhaps.
My one last word... Coma!
