I'm posting after a long time as I'd taken a break from watching RR and missed out on a lot. I am confused as to what went wrong with this show so as to kill the main character (Paro), Now the whole concept of bringing in a look-alike to fall in love with Rudra is not working and here's why -
1. RR was a unique storyline of a simple village girl and a scarred army/BSF guy coming together. It was touted as a unique love story and delivered on its promise despite some tracks not being upto par.
RR now is a love story between the widowed major/father and a NRI who looks like his dead wife. The same scenarios, skirmishes (tripping, singing, cooking...basically a rehash of what we saw for months now being condensed into days with the FL being a different character. Where is the originality?
2. RR was the story of Paro-Rudra is now a story of Rudra and his 3 women (L/P/M). The unique show which promised a love story amidst border security issues, girl trafficking, Rajasthani dunes has become a travesty with how Rudra has to be coaxed into moving on his life - a male-centric story.
3. The whole 'off-with-Paro' was such a 'blink -and-you-miss'. Day 1- consummation, day 2 - pregnancy, day 3 - birth and death? Day 4 - 7 years leap? Day 5 - Entry of new heroine? Viewers have to throw logic out of the window when watching these series I guess.
4. Mayra-Rudra pairing is not working because his mindset cannot be changed overnight. Rudra is traditional in his outlook and used to women pandering to the men in their lives. Mayra is modern in her thinking and believes men and women are equals (as they are). The bigger problem here is even if they fall in love and marry (which they probably would going by the current track) is that she would always wonder at some point if he was remembering Paro when he looked at her?
5. All those dialogues in the script with the two promising eternal love and never being separated were all hogwash - one should never read too much into these lines :)
5. I'm not going to comment on TRPs or channel promos, there are enough posts on this. From a writer's point of view, the story died the moment Paro (who was the essence of RR along with Rudra) was killed. Despite a good performance by all the actors the show is failing because of the floundering script. The script makes or breaks the show eventually despite stellar performances by the actors - what a waste of talent. Sigh.
