A new Shravan?

Short post since I watched the epi late...😳...and missed some bits here and there (teeny weeny😉)

Loved Namik 'a acting. More so while driving and he had tears flowing. My heart went out to him. Poor thing.

It's so late that I am off to bed but will be commenting all through the day tomorrow.

One question- you think he will move towards marrying her?

And this is not going IPK way---I Do Not think it is.

Good night 😃

Why wouldn't you call it bad writing? All the extrapolation and justification is happening at our end, story/ character arcs on its own is nonsensical.

No harm in calling a spade a spade. Any good novel/ script reaches the high point organically, audience need not bear with illogical subplots in the hope of story making sense in future. I'm not being unnecessarily harsh, I thought the episode was best so far this week and I liked bits and pieces (everything with Shravan in it 😃 )

The problem is by creating a story incongruous with other serials of our time on Indian TV, the makers of this TV serial have created their own monsters of expectation out of the audience. And we expect and we expect - them to excel in their creativity and story telling. In doing so we analyze, possibly over analyse, and attribute virtues to certain characters and assign fundamental faults to others. We analyse and predict and come up with permutations and combinations of story lines as we would write them. Often the creatives have something else in mind succumbing to extended finish dates (so catering to a sudden need to extend a short and crisp plot) and of course the TRP devil. So our permutations and combinations come to naught and we get disillusioned or, we try and justify weak irrational twists and turns, to explain the time we spend thinking and speculating about this piece of fiction.

I look for a piece of reality when I watch Edkv. In fact I had come to expect it from this soap. So while allowing a little bit and more creative Liberty, would someone I know completely change their personality because they are disillusioned with love? No! They would be cautious as hell, and would possibly retreat. But their intrinsic character, the one they have lived for however long - from adolescence to adulthood- their core and so their behavior outside would remain the same, with small differences which will form their defence mechanism. So a diabolical Shravan is an oxymoron- the two are completely different. Shravan is the complete opposite of mean and self serving and for him to make this 360 degrees does not hit the right notes with me. So one has to watch and reserve judgement. Because had I written this, I would still have found other ways of taking the story forward but none of my ideas would fetch good numbers. And the same is probably true of many here. So what will Shravan do? I think his resolve to remain unaffected will be broken very soon, as soon as Nirmala comes in. And my hope of course is that they drag this no further and that Preethi, since she was dragged down to bring these two out of the quicksand, acts fast and pulls them out before they are consumed in a swirl of emotions and hate.

They still have much going for them without prolonging misunderstandings between leads and they have much to keep the two apart longer without nasty misunderstandings. If they looked hard enough they will find a treasure trove of ideas with a wealth of unexplored characters and relationship dynamics. But they need to really look and see and focus less of what the mass want.

Wonderful post as always chick !

Agree with you, bad writing definitely. Characterization gone down the drain. Today's was the only episode I was able to watch without forwarding. I remember sanfan's post from earlier this week, although I didn't agree with her then I am getting her point now ( I am that slow) . And you are not being harsh but are merely stating the facts.
