I may be biased but YRKKHs leads have far more substance and complexity than the leads here. In fact, while the show's being shit for bucks rn, the leads have been pretty unconventional and have had great screen presence. That and their chemistry keeps the show topping charts no matter how repetitive, useless and crappy the storyline gets.Originally posted by: manzilmukul
Every show needs ONE powerful LEAD. Here, NEITHER Prerna NOR ANURAG comes with any EXTRAORDINARY TRAITS apart from BEING IN LOVE.
Unlike LEADS in most of the shows, there's NO aspect of LAYERING in their characters except SACRIFICE and SWEETNESS.
Unless, its a DIMWITTED show on the likes of Gopi Vau, and that eternal YRKKH that runs in loops, the LEADS and their layers matter. Neither theirs WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY ROMANCE like the DHAK DHAK ONES of Gul Shows nor has the COMPLEXITY of other EK leads.
So, they NEEDED a STRONG persona who LEADS the show. VAMPS don't LEAD, VILLIANS too don't.
It's only someone WHO SWINGS THE MORAL COMPASS does.
This character arc of RB somehow resembles a pattern of RK from MB. So, Bajaj will always DRIVE the show.
BUT BANG ON! Agree with everything you said. KZK leads are extremely vapid. Prerna 1 was the stuff of legends! She was so strong and ST's screen presence. And so was Anurag. People may bash him but he was an extremely soft, beta and unconventional hero who had the best redemption track and tale on ITV. That's why the story is so unforgettable.
Between isn't the writer for RB the same writer who wrote RK in Madhubala? One of the writers at least.
KZK is pretty lackluster to be honest. Watching it is a chore. And a character, be it a villain, hero or anti hero (I honestly despise the term 'hero' though) can be only as interesting as the dynamics around him. RB can only go so far, and be so much. The dynamics and conflicts need to ignite anticipation. Good anticipation drives trps. KZK only produces lethargy.
