After Parth's exit, how would you redeem KZK 2? - Page 4

Have to commend this post and your patience for taking on this Herculean task. The writing has largely been poor and also inconsistent but this poverty has reached new depths post the leap. Any story with some semblance of sense or being relatable will garner audience support. At least have the 4 main characters show some growth, don't people learn from their experiences? About Kuki, it seems like a good point to explore, she has issues with her father and she is a teen (?), her being rebellious or lashing out would be justified.

If you solely depend on actors' fandoms to get you the TRP it is bound to fail you. You expect to be given a free pass to this shoddy work passed off as a script then you will fail sooner rather than later.

Side Note: Pardon my ignorance, what does the character bible look like? Should that not have been done BEFORE they cast?

Late to the party as always... I should actually be grateful for being here altogether...

How to redeem KZK2?

Question 1: Would I want to?

Answer: No

But If I really had to.... Hmmm

I would start by sending the writers on a course titled: Have enough faith in your ability to tell a good story.

Followed by : Character consistency is important in creating and maintaining drama and conflict. Character inconsistency results in your characters sabotaging themselves (unless, like with Anurag, you want it to be their fatal flaw)

Finished off by: Relate-able characters and situations engage viewers - Read: their ability to overcome and grow within these challenges is what interests viewers. (Note the word relate-able and not reasonable was used, because it is the over-the-top scenarios and situations that make a story worthy of being told.)

I would send the writers because if they don't believe in themselves, their characters and their story, no amount of acting or editing and special effects will make a story likable.

So let's say the writers actually finish these course - they have a whole lot of "mess" to get through.

The story in itself for the current generation is a hot mess and short of a near apocalyptic even, that will force them to work together, there is little that can be done to redeem anyone - bar the younger generation. The characters are so tarnished and compromised that nothing short of a herculean battle could bring about sufficient character change.

The writers really need to sit down with a story-weave and character bible and first set the ground work for their current characters (not the well-loved 1.0 versions)

Then they need to look at current views (both local and international). Being a single mother today is not what it was 20 years ago. There are pressures to modernize and be more western minded.

Kukhi was brought up in London - yet she's eased back into Indian culture without a glitch. There's been no teenage/youngster rebellion about missing her friends or past activities - only a vague reference to loose morals.

Then, and only then, can they fix what was wrong and actually move the story forward.

Casting is related to a character bible (in as far as gender, age, and appearance is concerned) , while a character bible will define your characters - if that makes sense. A character is generally created before he/she is cast, or there will be no role. You can cast without a bible - but you'd be mad to do it as the actor would have no idea as to what the role entails - Honestly, I think that happened here.

A character bible is not a book par-say but rather the write up of all the characters in a story: their likes, dislikes, speech patterns, education, hobbies, wants, fears, objectives, motivations, ect.

It also keeps record of defining moments in a character's life.

In short it tells you exactly who and what the character is and how they should respond under certain situations to remain in-character. This not only helps to keep your character in-character, but also helps when they go out-of-character due to certain circumstances.

Even a slapdash character bible has, at least, a page per character - here I think we have two sentences per character... (Okay that might be harsh because I couldn't even condense it into two "sensible" sentences.)

a story-weave ensure the continuity of a story and connects events, places and scenes. (So we don't have to believe that one could have CCTV footage at a cliff's edge! - I will NEVER allow them to forget that BLOOPER.)

Thank you for answering. You said it, they probably cast without the character Bible.

Errors like the cliff CCTV are an insult to the intelligence of the audience. Even a proof-read can prevent such errors, only if they wish to that is.

You said it 👍🏼Actors dont bring trps , if the story is good , actors present it well, actors are appreciated , but story is not credited...the serial wont popular beyond a limit if the story stops making sense... It's the opposite when story is bad. Ppl like to give credit to the actor for whatever trps.
