Patralekha: The Character - Page 3

Great post 👏 I have not seen the previous two versions. But given that the show did start as a triple lead show, Pakhi’s character is nowhere up to the mark. I mentioned this in a comment a few weeks back but the makers really need to work with Aishwarya so that she is clear about her character. I feel like she herself is unclear and thus what she puts forth is her version of Pakhi, not what it is meant to be in the story. I don’t think it’s Aishwarya’s acting skills that’s the problem, it’s just the lack of detailing and clarity from the makers (which we also see in other aspects of the show like editing).

You have nailed it. That was my understanding of the characters from the other versions.

@bold Can see Rupkotha or Satya emanating these. Beautiful, you have cleared a lot of things and makes sense. I get confused whenever I was watch GHKKPM.

@green chilli grinding scene, very true the feelings with which she sits what was important in that scene

@blue I think the promo also had a part to play in it about shikwa and her wearing the bangles and all that is so highlighted that it became cringeworthy.

Not sure why the makers wanted to show creativity in this 😂

@orange I think the original version potrayed them well, in Tamil they were annoying. As tou have rightly pointed out their change in attitude towards Sai would look more natural in those but wonder how they are going to achieve that in GHKKPM when these characters are being loathed.

@red I am amazed at your observations and the way you have described throughout. High handed 😂, pyaar ka haq. I wonder if it looked like EMA in other versions? It doesn't look to me here too and so I was surprised when people think he is two timing. But as you said Virat is paying the brunt, that's sad.

Interesting read, thanks to have described the characters especially Patralekha's. You have asked if she has understood the depth of the character, I think she has and that is probably why she is justifying her character in all her interviews. It is probably not coming out on the screen as it should and hence her justification is not matching the character that we watch. I am not sure if it is the actress's fault, it probably is even the makers fault who while trying to add creativity, are losing focus on the character from the original plot.

I don't think its makers aur writers fault as apart from gila shikwa dialogue all others look like they are simply translated in hindi.

The main difference is of attitude, Rupkotha and Sathya acted as if its their birthright, they ordered things for example Rupkotha asked for clothes during trip scene, there it felt more like order but here it felt like someone craving for attention and coyness was included which made the whole scene cringeworthy.

For instance the chilli grinding scene, while adding the scene of Virat tending to Pakhi, they have shifted their focus from her emotions to be made to do that to her actual physical pain.

The most imp part was in that scene was why Patralekha sat to grind chilli, it was not because she felt humilated, or someone hurted her self respect, it was again nothing its just like she parroted the dialogue and went to do the work.

Also during the scene, more than the burn of hands , it was the burnt of feelings and hurt that got potrayed by Rupkotha but here again we got only her single expression and tears, nothing was felt.

Virat came after the main work was done and all the frustations that FD wanted got poured on him.In the same scene Sai potrayed the role Emon played with more conviction , where she lost even after winning.

If they want to add such scenes, it is okay, who are we and if such scenes can add values it is okay but it is kind of back firing. Virat is being bashed and Pakhi is being hated the most.

Pakhi is being hated most because nobody can connect to her scenes due to the poor acting skills and as a domino effect any onscreen empathy given to her at that moment turns the whole scenario into an EMA thing which leads to the empathizer getting bashed.

Also, Sai looks very cute (not just in terms of looking cute, lot of scenes where they have showed how innocent she actually is) and also looks more young compared to the other actresses which is also another reason why people are able to empathise more with her. Her cuteness is overshadowing her arrogance or rudeness I guess and another reason why Virat and Pakhi are being bashed more 😂.

She is playing a 19 year old she is supposed to look cute, but her soft demeneor does not put her across as badtameez.But then again in KD Imon was more cute and beautiful than Rupkotha lookwise and she was more firece as well but still Rupkotha was loved and sympathised with, not because Imon was fierce but because audience was able to connect with her hurt and want.

Here actress gives single expressions which are either termed as weird or comical.Thus, the character of Patralekha here has become a joke, literally anyone can write a joke on Patralekhs here.

Rupkotha was a serious character, even if you wanted you cannot joke about her delusional state because it was literally painful to watch.

@Pink. Its high time makers should work on the actress otherwise the future plots will be more compromised and whole serial will come of as an EMA propogating theme and will lose the audience.

i totally agree with you , awesome analysis dear 🤗

actress should understand it and make changes to it , so that her character is more impactful mujhe toh filal bland lagrahi hai

I totally agree with you. Here the problem with Aishwarya is she still has not understood the character Pakhi, even after having 2 serials made on the same plot line. I don't have any issue with her defending the character Pakhi in IVs but the reason she gives to defend her character is weird. It is likw she doesn't understand why Pakhi is behaving like this. Whenver I see Aishwarya's interviews the only thing she says is Sai is badtameez and we should not entertain her behaviour which I don't find a correct reason for Pakhi's enmity with her.

Aishwarya is my opinion is loosing a golden opportunity. If she plays her character well which is not outright a black character but a grey one she can become an iconic character of TV industry. Also, with Samrat coming we could start liking them together as well but if she keeps on acting like this it will be hard for people to connect and they will not like her at all even if she redeems herself in future.
