In my opinion, post shootout, the DSR track was the best (apart from Vihaan one).
- It had some of the best Riansh romance.
- It had Vishal's splendid performance.
- It also had Vansh's possessive side (bangle) + romantic side + ruthless side (interrogating DSR) + righteous side (scolding Ishani).
- It had a relatively stronger Riddhima.
- It had Riansh + Angre teaming up.
- And most of all, it had the highest TRP.
But the makers completely wasted the potential of this track. They could have easily dragged it by making DSR some business guy instead of wedding planner. Moreover, they could have shown some splendid confrontations between KaVa. Also Vansh suspecting Ridhbir.
But they wasted it.
I have seen 100+ Indian TV serials in my lifetime right from Hum Paanch days back in the 90s. Some of these serials were hopeless, and still I watched for the sake of the leads.
But trust me, I have never seen any production house of a show wasting and destroying the most promising tracks (pre-Riansh marriage nokjhok, post-marriage nokjhok, DSR, Vihaan, Vansh's revenge) and dragging boring tracks (ma-bete, Sasural torture, Ragini drama, Ridhbir marriage) like this one.
These people finish off good tracks in a hurry and drag boring plot for weeks. Seems like they have NO idea what works, and what doesnt.
