EHT losing charm, plot, authenticity

Where is the power play promised in beginning of the show? Where is suspense and thrill?
Goenkas were supposed to be celebs. But there is no authenticity now. Shouldn't media have covered wedding announcement and other news of Goenkas?

All goons, roadside vendors and subordinates speak Bombay street lingo here. Not Kolkata one.

Rajnath is always at home! What tycoon is this?

These days Dayal is also at home and in kurta pyjama. Looks more like a typical bapu than suave tycoon cum doc.

No meetings. No one knows about status of cancer project.

Suchitra runs a school. But she is always at home. Why no scene outside in a school or NGO?

Durga is at home too. No NGO scenes.

Raima is a socialite and runs a finishing school. But she too is always at home either hers or Goenkas.

Goenkas are celebs. No one sees them bribing others on roads? They don't even disguise themselves or use a henchman!

Where are biz rivals like Choudhary?

Why was CBI and murder bid buried like this?

CVs are increasingly using same dialogues, confining all to home. And making it a typical family drama cum luv story than a thriller with powerful people like tycoons and politicians.

Low on budget kya? Even costumes and accessories are repeated.

Keep original flavour intact and don't reduce it to drama for pendu audience that likes only quarrels at home.

Shaadi twist and saas bahu thing is utter sh*t. Actors too need to step up and stop appearing like they sleepwalk through scenes.

Where is flavour of first 2 months?

In a funny way, this reminds me of a remark of a Doctor in the film 'Gothika' where he states that he has never seen someone 'lose it so quickly' (on Hally Berry's condition). 😆

Jokes apart, the point is, even a typical love story takes at least a year to start losing its essence, to start dragging/boring audience. This show started with so much promise and is now reduced to a laughing stock! 😒

Dev's character development (or the lack of it) itself killed the interest...not to mention the callousness of the CV's of dealing with everything you've mentioned 😡

Nothing more to say... 'Wake me up when the thriller begins' 🥱

Last month I was atleast consoling myself writing spoofs or making funny edits. Now I don't even feel like joking or laughing it off.
The "crowd" cast is also low brow. The doc Dev met tonight looked like a bhaiya. No offense.

EHT has definitely lost its appeal...they are just dragging it, filling episodes with utter nonsense.

Its not a thriller anymore (they shd take some tips from LAT) ...in a thriller every episode shd have at least one twist or revelation, it shd be gripping drama, not time pass filler episodes.

Here Durga is just sitting on deadly revelations, waiting for God knows what...why cant she reveal Raj-Raima affair to Sakshi? She had their vdo, doesnt she?
Didnt Raima also harm Payal/ Nitya? Isnt she also on Durga's hit-list?😕

Durga shd find out abt Karan-Kangna affair ASAP and expose them to Goenkas, then she can sit back and enjoy the fallout!
Karan is one of the worst offenders, and its high time she punished Karan by exposing him to Goenkas. Its Karan who makes those disgusting bets with Shaurya everytime and eggs him on.

Everyone in this serial seems very sluggish in their efforts, Durga in her revenge, Dev in his supposed investigation.
Only Sakshi is all over the place, being proactive, scheming, plotting and investigating... but even her sarcastic smiles look more comical nowadays than vampish! 😆

Dayal has quit his medical profession, his only job now is to sit at home in kurta pajama and give love advice to Durga abt Dev...😆

Rajnath also seems jobless, sitting at home and drinking like a fish!
Cancer project is forgotten by all, Rajnath, Dayal, Durga and Dev...the only project now is Project Shadi...with the slimy Shaurya!🤢

Why cant Durga and Dayal tell Akash that shes marrying Shaurya to punish Goenkas?
Nothing makes sense anymore.😕

CVs and director shd tighten the plot and make the pace faster, instead of sluggish like Durga's speech pattern.

I totally agree with all the points you have mentioned in your post.
Right now sakshi is the hero of this show and durga is the heroine.
They are showing other people dumb and useless just bcoz of these two characters. I mean common..other characters has also some importance in this show.
We want to see clever Rajnath, smart and witty dev but No Rajnath is drinking all the time. Dev doesn't care about shaurya's friends..he can trap his friends but No.
The show is all about Sakshi V/s Durga.
And one more thing..
I am fed up with the repeatation of dialogues.
Sakshi- 'Durga tum chahe kuch bhi kar lo mein tumhe shaurya ki zindagi se nikal bahar karungi.'
Durga- 'Baba ab dekhna ye hai k Sakshi Goenka ka agla plan kya hoga ?'
Same dialogues again and again 🥱

Agree with all points Anu.

This show has gone to .."Hell in a Hand Basket" since the introduction of Dev and the Dumb love Angle.

The thrill of Revenge is gone. The fire of Durga to bring the Goenka's down is gone.

All the work Durga supposedly did for two years is nowhere to be seen.

Durga is boohooing and dreaming more than actually doing some damage to the any of the culprits that assisted the Goenka's.

Shakshi is all over the town bribing and coercing people to do her bidding while Durga seems to be waiting at the sidelines to catch up.

Where is the determined Durga and where is her resolve to to avenge her family.

Maybe the Dheela Dev and Dheeli Durga do belong together.

Dev's Dumbness is contagious. And now it seems it has affected the whole Production Crew too. 😆

I agree! I wanted Dev to snoop on Shaurya's friends but no. He is clueless. He agrees Durga shouldn't marry Shaurya and he must be rapist. But why no suspicion on family or him at home?

Rajnath is expected to be a major mastermind yet he just sits and drinks.

Dialogues are so same old that I feel they just read out one old page daily in new clothes!

Sluggish and Painful.
It is slowly becoming a torture because there is no thrill in the "thriller" here. All you get is the usual daily soap crap and even that has stopped making any sense.

I could have ignored the authenticity issues if the serial's writing was consistent , but the holes in the script are so big ,that you end up feeling bored and start finding all the flaws.

I am yet to see the "smartness" and shrewd mind of Durga.

Dev was the start of this train-wreck. I get they based him on Jack who was clueless for a long time too but what made him still bearable was that he was hardly involved in the main story-line and had his own plot . Here Dev is so excruciatingly irritating that there is a point where I would rather have Shaurya on my screen than him- only because he brings atleast something to the story. Dev has made Durga vulnerable , confused and just so weak. Not to forget his dumbness - that makes you want to smack something .

There is too many empty words thrown around that they take away the meat from the characters if appropriate sequence is not shown. Sakshi and Durga suffer from this.

Sakshi still for whatever it's worth is the only character which is holding some sense to its essence. Whereas the revenge seeking Durga has gone meek, timid and just so scatter-brain. There is no method to her actions. It's embarrassing to see her reduced as a love-sick teen.

This serial needs to bring back element of surprise and tighten up the plot holes.

Like I mention again and again- You need a big major take-down of a main player to keep the story interesting.

W.O.R.D. Genie!👏
Agreed. Dev put this show on life support system.

I think even Sakshi is silly these days. Her plan might have taken her to Payal but it also revealed manipulation in treatment to Dev.

For all their instincts as puraane khiladi, both Rajnath and Sakshi didn't get that Shaurya faked suicide.

Durga stopped using brain after July. No more a woman who knows what she is doing or planned and researched for 2 years.
