OLVs - firstly I will thank the CVs for so many OLVs. I don't know if all the shows get these many number of OLVs as our show. Every single scene, we get at least one. Wonder if the reporters put a tent next to the set and settle down or do a parallel shoot of the show next to the show's cameraman itself...
My very first post in this forum was about the number of OLVs we get and complained about how it spoils the suspense and all, but for the first time I'm seeing the positive aspect to it. I should definitely give credit to the makers for this. Without any marketing, they are getting publicity. They have the whole social media and fans talking about it all the time, be it in a good way or bad way. They say all publicity is good in show business right...
Though it's said change is good, but oftentimes we as human beings have a difficult time accepting it when it's not a change that we want or when it isn't in our control. First we have the denial phase, then comes the anger, and then at last we learn to accept it. Now you would be wondering what has this got to do with this post? My point is, ever since the jail track leap the CVs have played it smartly. They timed the very first promo of Neil arresting Avni approximately 2 weeks before. What did we do when we watched it? We were shocked, then denied it, then burst out and in the end accepted it. After all this, we started giving justifications/analyzing to ourselves as to why this was needed for the track. The same has been following ever since, same goes for neelama death. Even now they are doing the same, giving viewers enough time to get adjusted to the change.
Though these OLVs, rightly called as spoilers, do tend to spoil the suspense, but at least give you an idea of what is coming at you. Don't know if they understand the audience expectations or not, but at least they know how to get us prepared for anything they throw at us. Even though with every olv, there's a bomb coming in the next track, at least they teach you to protect yourself by keeping your expectations low. So I'm keeping my expectations to the lowest level possible. Who knows this time around if they really try doing something sensible, I might be pleasantly surprised even.
