Some things did work great in 2000 and they should absolutely reboot it in the true sense of the word! We are living in an era of Chipkalis dayans, nagins chudails ruling TRP charts! I don’t see any logic in anything anymore. That’s why I spare myself the horror of emotional distress of trying to find difference. I watch it till it hooks me and moves on.
Let me give you some idea about conceptualisation. Every creative concept is done with heart and soul. Maybe our hearts try to find logic and theirs try to play safe and harness the nostalgia. But still, they are attached to their creation. That’s why I said everyone puts their heart and soul. Sensibility might be different.
Makers try the tested formulas because TRPs are self explanatory. Sometimes exceptional things do work, then that’s a rare case. Check out any TRP stopper. Nothing really makes sense. So I keep my hopes as low as possible. Made peace with it long back 🤪
Oh my god. That supernatural horror on ITV has made me turn my back on it for so long now. Everything is complete hogwash. I think it’s just frustrating to see this lack of effort to deliver a novel experience to the audience. I get the expectations people had in 2000, their acceptance of a horrid saas and perpetually suffering bahu was probably okay then but now when a Mohini keeps hurling these insults at Prerna in say every other episode and she’s just taking it and standing there and sobbing, it makes me want to lunge at her. Woman, open your damn mouth or just walk away.
I guess you’re right about the conceptualization. But I’m so wary of Ekta and I know this might take a nosedive before we even get a chance to get detached and that’s my biggest gripe right now.
Oh absolutely, low hopes is the way to proceed while watching shows of late 😭
