TOO MUCH DRAGGING AND TOO MUCH RUSHING FINALLY LEADS TO NOTHING

The show ended in such a fast pace that it finally looked like a comedy show. I felt i thought this much about a show which concluded the way i never ever expected even in my dream. We saw the pain of the positives all through the show be it Payal or Durga or Dev or Akram or even Dayal. CVs could have done perfect justice to the show only when they could show the equal pain of the negatives in the final as well. It's ok that they didn't have enough time but still they should have shown the pain the negatives went through during the punishment days even if it is for 5 seconds.

The last 3 weeks episodes themselves looked like a compilation of precaps that we used to get at the starting of the episodes or they indeed looked like a 3 hr special telecast of the show on sundays which plays important bits. The further more funny thing is all those things that could not happen in all those months suddenly happened successfully in the last 3 weeks. It became the mockery of Goenka's power which they themselves showed all the way. They are not foolish enough to not fall in Durga's trap or oversee her plans that easily according to what they showed.

Raima is no where to be seen. If she came out of coma or not and got punished or not is a mystery left to us, just like many other as what happened to real Durga. Durga's plan and trap are very plain and utter non sense. Why can't she use such trick before just to grab these words out of that moron's mouth. It is not diff. Indeed he himself said many times 'I'm a rapist!'. Why couldn't she overhear him and record that before? She has some records. Why not publish them? What does she get by keeping Payal's life at stake always? Even if they are there to protect her i didn't like it.

The most funniest thing of all seems the doctor coming out of the OT and then says 'Nothing to worry. There is a clot in her head and i removed it'. Weren't they supposed to inform first that she had a clot? Then the operation starts and here they feel worried & tensed, and then he has to come and say the operation is successful. Seems the CVs' brain closed completely due to the lack of time. Sakshi got judgement along with Shaurya at the same time? Her case should be discussed any other date not then.

POSITIVES

The only positive things that happened in the last episode are:
1. Payal's slap and beat to that moron Shaurya
2. Durga's heart touching words in the court which are very true
3. Random girl's slap and words to Shaurya, outside the court
4.6 months and penalty punishment to Rishi's, which awakes timid people to get enough courage to fight against odd ones

THE ENDING THEY SHOWED

It is definitely not going to change minds, but let it be a welcome change, hopefully.

THE CLIMAX SCENE

Very much unnecessary due to 2 reasons:

1. It is not a horror series but thriller. What is the need to show such a thing like in 'Scream' franchise where caller terrifies the protagonist?

2. It is highly illogical. If it's Rajnath, he could not do anything because he is in court's custody. If it is Tarun who escaped the death, then he is most likely to go after Shaurya who is in the prison to kill him. He should not come after Durga. If he is Shekhar, he should go after Sakshi because she is the reason who dragged him into that and the reason for what all happened to him. Nothing more happened to him except having to leave the city and unable to collect the proofs along with being humiliated by Goenkas and police. Moreover, how can he know about Shaurya's whistle? It is even unneeded to think about these 3 possibilities.

THE POSSIBLE CLIMAX SCENE

The best climax scene would have been:

1, After Shaurya is rightly humiliated in public outside the court and taken away in police jeep, showing Durga walking along with Payal down stairs from court with Dev , Akram and Suchitra behind with triumph having accolades by public and media for finally getting justice for her sister and exposing Goenkas.

2, Rajnath's case calling in court and his right punishment being declared by judge.

3, Shaurya and Rajnath along with Karan being shown helplessly in their present conditions.

4, The great Sakshi Goenka shown in mental asylum paying for her own deeds.

5, Finally, Durga and Payal praying infront of their parents photo along with Dayal's , Dev and Suchitra infront of Arnav's and Akram infront of his Baba's. Then showing the real Goddess Durga. All these could have been shown even in a glance with each shot shown barely for a second. That would have shown proper justice for all that they had gone through all the way.

SP's bias on EHT

Actually, the major blame goes to the channel. It is all Star Plus's fault. When it brings the shows worth the telecast, then why does it neglect them like step children? Why doesn't it stick to it's tagline 'Nayi soch'? It once again proved that it's favorite and own children are always typical Saas - bahu & love stories. It can never change.

How could SP do this to this show especially when the TRP is good and the show is getting and giving to it all the acclaims and ofcourse, when the contract still didn't conclude? I have to say this, SP may be still a numero uno channel of all Hindi channels but at present it is the channel which is giving worst shows that we can ever see.

Having highest quality visualization and best quality audio is not just enough for a channel, it must also have great quality of content and functionality. It only considers audience views and opinions when it feels they might give rise in TRPs. TRP is everything for it. It continues it's shows for years when TRP is peak high and makes many shows wait for the telecast. When the same shows fall down in TRPs, it heartlessly stops them abruptly and air the waiting shows.

I wonder what happened with EHT as the TRPs are good enough to continue for 2 more months as per the original contract. My assumption is that the makers of the new show that replaced EHT forced SP as it made them wait for so long, The only possible thing that might had happened. But why EHT? If story already ended, it is ok but it still has bunch of story left. Why couldn't it end any other show on SP like SNS and YRKKH which are good for nothing? One always shows silly tracks and the other has no story at all. They just move like that endlessly giving great TRPs which are given by countless illogical viewers. They cannot be viewed even for mere ''entertainment'' and ''relaxation'' because they don't relax but torture us. They don't even show pure relationships between families and realistic tracks. All drama and misunderstandings.

The channel that always rules the TRPs charts can only get more views from the viewers not appreciation. If it wants appreciation, it has to change itself. If it is ok with TRPs, then i can't say anything. SP became plain disgusting especially after it ended EHT. All other channels are worth watching than this. Colors and even Star's Life Ok is telecasting the shows that look like a change. How many days do viewers see the same content again and again? It is time for them to move.

The new show is again regular cheap show. SP is degrading day by day telecasting cheaper shows, first Nisha aur uske cousins and now Tu Mera Hero. Infact, it is an insult to a show like EHT because such a show got replaced with or follow by such a crap show. Watching promos itself gave me huge headache.

The only good or i say, watchable shows on SP at present are EVEREST and the weekend shows P.I. and AIRLINES, in the same order. Rest all go and die, i don't care.

Taking SP's bias into consideration, EHT is good but not the best.
It could have still done better. Can't blame SP entirely except for no promos and the horrible ending.

P.S. : I, at present, feel ADs are a lot better than movies & serials. Most advertisements are creative, logical and awesome and yes, long less than a minute or two but make us feel they are smart and draw our attention to buy the product. The short films / documentaries are there to attract a wide audience and bring a change. They are straight to the point and points towards a social cause.

Wow nice post yaar. You have analyzed it pretty well and in a mature way than bashing. You have covered all the points the plus and the minus.
EHT deserved much better than what it got. But I feel creative are also at fault here along with channel. Ideally the creative who knew SPs way of doing things should have scripted the story in such a way that it would end in 6 months.
As SP run most shows for 6 months and if TRP is good extension would have taken. But even if TRP is bad storyline would not have suffered.
Look at Everest. It does not have great TRPs( Expected as it is far from saas-bahu nonsense) but the story most probably will not suffer as it as earlier itself decided that it will be a 100 epi finite series that is close to 4 months. Atleast the viewer's watching it will get a proper closure.
Same thing would have happened with EHT. If their storyline was for 6 months we would have not suffer the torture of that stupid jealousy track and marriage track for 3 months and then the main parts happening in a hurry. Story would have evenly paced and if marriage raised TRP, TRP also would have come by around Aug than in late Oct when the channel decided to pull the plug.
And I agree to you after Everest there is nothing in SP to watch. I have already moved to Life Ok for watching Mahakumbh which is pretty good thriller in making and already it is told that it is only 120 epi.Already I had decided I am not going to be with SP anymore unless a show is decided less than 6 month duration and shooting completed like Everest. Because otherwise there is no hope with this TRP hungry channel who just feeds the old wine in a new bottle.

Well I have nothing more to say on EHT.
The ending was way too rushed, had too many loopholes, bloopers and inconsistencies. Many questions were unanswered. It ruined the build up of all these months and wasted potential of story and characters.

I feel so disenchanted that just stopped watching fiction on TV altogether and stopped thinking of EHT too. I will make sure not to get attached to any show again or bother to write on it. And I am surely going to avoid Star Plus like plague as I used to avoid it earlier.

SP was indeed biased. So was media for ignoring EHT.

But Star is laughing all the way to the bank as Tu Mera Hero has become its biggest opener in terms of TRP for 2014. They do not accept they forced EHT to end.

EHT makers are also behaving as if they made a masterpiece.

It is only us as viewers who feel disappointed at the messy ending. As always the viewer is the loser.
