Manik is back...and plenty are celebrating!! Some coz they love Manik and some coz they love MaNan and finally they will see the Happy Ending that all of us fans were denied due to bad handling of the script.
But, a word of caution here...please don't expect too much!! Richa is gone...the lady behind the Manik magic, Nandini spell and MaNan fairy tale is gone. And if reports are to believed, her absence has already marred the show beyond redemption. Actors are executors, they only act out the vision created by the crew behind the camera. They do as they are told...they don't write the story, or the screen play or the dialogues ...they are not the creatives...Period!! The bitter truth...the actors walk away with most of the credit (and I am not denying that they deserve some...never) but the real credit lies with the magicians that weave the spell...the creators, the head of production, the story writer, the director, the camera man...so many brushes that paint a masterpiece!!
In the absence of a competent helmsman or in this case woman, the ship is already floundering!! Nandini is being butchered on a daily basis, logic is sorely missing, the plot is flimsy, and the story (if there is any) only makes sense to the creatives...the audiences are pulling their hair out. The ones who have stayed back are doing so mostly coz they are loyal, and want to support Niti and the other cast members and their hard work...
So..in the current scenario, its debatable how effective bringing back Parth is going to be...don't get me wrong...delighted that he is back...something feels right...pieces falling back in place where they belonged...!! Super excited to see him n eventually MaNan together..finally...phew!!
But BBC and MTV better realize that he is no magician...no actor has a magic wand that he/she can weave and fill in the loop holes of a pathetic story line. If the content is not solid, sensitive and sensible...no actor...be it Sir Marlon Brando or the Big B can save the show!! The bottom line this show needs a good creative team, a solid back bone of authors who made KY2 a classic legend in these modern times!! This show right now is like an orphan in the hands of an experimental set of parents...this gorgeous baby needs TLC...a lot of handling with care and caution and love!! BBC and MTV have already destroyed what they had created with painstaking patience in the past one year...now they desperately need to reconsider certain decisions...and make some new ones that might be controversial...remove some that are not working and bring in the ones that have proven their worth...bringing in Parth is only one step towards damage control...a lot more needs to be done behind the scenes before this show shows even a glimmer of hope. Or Manik too will end up a sacrifice at the altar of bad handling like Nandini...One is already being killed on a daily basis...kindly don't add the other too in the list of martyrs...
The Production and the channel need to realize promptly that unless they make changes off screen...on screen Parth or no Parth...Niti or no Niti...Ayaaz or no Ayaaz...this show will not work!! Kindly don't expect the actors to clean up your mess!! You are lucky to have been granted a second chance after the way Season 1 ended...but the sane viewers now have very limited patience...please don't test it to the limits!! Remember in the end...CONTENT IS KING!!
