Bang on 👏 I dont feel the motivation for adding anything but since it's about content , you're so so correct .
They say we create shows for masses , bec this is what sells, audiences say this is what the itv is , give or take , this is what we r getting so deal with it. It's a vicious cycle . Besides kzk2, I haven't come across a trashier show in recent times .a prime time show with popular leads , stellar cast and a producer. Things were not so bad ,half way through god knows what bugged them..
.
Problem.is , ml and fl may be like these but at least bring SOME kind of variation in their behavior sometimes. Kuch toh akal ka use karte, kabhi toh kar lete to make it believable. I dont have an issue with weak characters but where a man who is educated , he has clout , money, power , and in the serial they said he is smart also, why does he have to be weak? A well educated woman who is courageous etc etc why does she have to be at her man's feet worshipping him? Their biggest mistake , they never really considered the option of a third man or a woman , thy made the third angels so ridiculous that audience were like "stay with each other and ruin each others life for all I care" . People can be good at heart , they can be shrewd at the same time , selfish, go getters. Ye thodi na hai ke ya hero hota hai ya villain. Ya heroine ya vamp. Nothing in between . N yahan villain n vamp ko they show as serial killers or clowns. N leads ko they show as dumb ppl who only talk about love action mein zero.
They made diya adopted. Hadh hai. Rofl ! Anurag is ThE man bec he didnt touch any other women. Big deal, which generation are we living in ? Leads dont care for social weddings still they wasted 5 mins in the last epi to do the formalities. Why?the fl went from I hate you to I always loved you after hearing his sob story in 5 mins. No questions asked , no answers seeked, no apology demanded no apology rendered.
Seriously, how does it matter how it ended , tg it ended . The journey of lovers was pathetic so to speak. N this is one of the rare serials for whom I am saying this. I am a sucker for happy endings, audience deserve it if they invest their emotions in the characters. But arre , journey toh theek dikhao unki.
This is where kzk2 failed ..its not like bhagyas or rishtas or top rated serials have stellar stories . Thy work bec thy create a balance. Hero heroine do foolishness also, sometimes they're smart , sometimes clever n villains vamps too , their is an arc for them ..that's daily entertainment. Kabhi bekar bhi hua kuch epis , audience dont mind. They correct it. Here is was never corrected.
You're so right. Being a ML or FL on itv now means that you have to be stupid. At least earlier the writers would put some effort in thinking up scenarios where the audience could go like, 'yeah, I see why he/she would do this. If I was in their place, I'd do something similar.' Now toh, the writers don't care at all. Kuch bhi likh do, kya jata hai kisika?
I personally want to understand the reasons for the Naveen Babu track as it was also the first track of the show. They chose to show Prerna as the martyr who agrees to marry NB for the happiness of her family and Anurag, noticing that Prerna really doesn't want this marriage decides to get to the truth of the matter. No wonder we connected more to Anurag in that phase because anyone would feel ki if I was in that situation, I'd behave more like Anurag and not Prerna. My point is that this track instead of introducing us to the two leads of the show, introduced us to Anurag and his love interest, Prerna. What I can infer from the media articles is that EK was adamant on Hina Khan as komolika even though she didn't have any dates. So first there was delay of her character's entry and then she had to leave abruptly. So the third woman wasn't established properly.
Now coming to the third man, Mr. Bajaj. He couldn't be brought in the picture earlier because the show had failed to establish Prerna outside Anurag's influence. Also, the NB track had shown us that Prerna was prone to giving in to these sort of pressures. So there was no mystery. Had they shown her as some who wouldn't bow down to NB's blackmail and win against him on her own terms, during the Bajaj track we could have some tension that Prerna might just succeed in defeating Bajaj. So the Bajaj track was useless.
So as far as I see it, this show was doomed from the beginning. The only good thing in the starting episodes was Parth's portrayal of Anurag. But later even that was ruined for me. Anurag's character made me dislike Parth while Parth as Manik is just the epitome of sexy.
Diya was adopted? Lol I didn't know this. So we're supposed to hail Anurag for all this actions because he didn't touch another woman? Uggghhh, how bad this serial was. I don't think anyone can make a serial worse than this. This should go in ITV Hall of Fame as the epitome of being the worst serial ever made.
I don't know about happy endings man but I'm happy that it ended. I don't think I could have dealt with any more of the crap that they dished out.
Totally agree with you on the point about the bhagyas..
