Don't kill me for this

I went through this thread on twitter and somewhat I agree with her words

( I am talking about the screen presence aura and charm of the fictional characters not about the real life personalities)

Note: Please let's agree to disagree in a polite manner if anyone is hurt by my post 🤗

I personally feel he has strong screen presence, actor is doing good job , his aura is definitely more powerful than all other villains leads have faced till now.

Sai, Kushagre, Shivangi, new Vijay Deshmukh and Sulochana really have good screen presence infact Himanshu also does good job in little screen time he gets, casting is good, only people who lack according to me is Kirti and Mansi.

I agree and disagree, both!

I actually like his screen presence better than Ved's. His physique, voice modulation, expressions, they're all on point and what I really admire is that he hit the right note from the very first day. It didn't take him time to get into his character and evolve from there. It sort of helps the audience believe that he has a history in the show and in each character's life as Mandaar.

That being said, I think the reason Mandaar's aura seems a little off is because he didn't start off as the good person he was always referred to, instead he started off as grey. As an audience who only ever heard of him in a positive light, it's hard to connect with him now that he seems borderline psychotic.

On the other hand, I actually think Ved's character could use some work. He's got more monologues than action and he seems a bit of a Voldemort (Harry Potter reference for those who are unfamiliar) in the sense that he always needs a crutch to help execute his plans. He's not sufficient on his own to stand up to Raghav. (In that case... who even is?! LOL!)

Sunny seems to be doing well, but again, not much substance in his character either. While Raghav's arrogance and ego is justified by his career and fame in the city, Sunny's arrogance is pretty baseless so it's hard to take him seriously.

I know this isn't about the actors themselves, but for example, an actor like Chetan Hansraj would come across as an impactful villain against Raghav. That's where I'm going with this... nothing wrong with their acting, but Ved and Sunny just don't seem like they can throw a punch that would actually injure Raghav. Mandaar does seem like that and that's why I am able to connect with him better.

I adore Farhad's character - he's the perfect sidekick! It just sucks that his screen presence is so limited and that he is sent off to tackle something or the other as soon as he walks in the frame. I wish we get to see more of him in the future and perhaps his family too! I once read an OS/SS on this forum about Farhad's sister's wedding and how RaghVi were a part of it. Sorry, can't recall the title or the author, but I would love to see that angle in the show so we can have some insight to how Farhad came into Raghav's life, how they became a force to reckon with, and how Farhad's family stepped in as Raghav's support system while his own family had abandoned him. I would love to see Farhad's parents treating Raghav like their own and Farhad's Ammi bonding with Raghav's Amma. Rather see those familial bonds than the Deshmukh Niwas nonsense!

Agreement. Ved as a villain seem nuanced, calculative and thus dangerous. Mandar seem like third wheel generic which could hv been anyone. I think R-V is more personal animosity even more than R-KR. KR destroyed his life but the way V has back story layered is more interesting for me.

Hmm An villain who doesn't need a support is always impressive. His individuality should be enough to worry the hero. In this case Mandaar is using pallavi as a support to weaken raghav so I am not going to sing praises for him. There is this individuality missing in mandar.

whereas when ved came for the first time he didn't need to use Raghav mother or sister to threaten raghav. His own ideas were enough. Also it would have been good if they showed that both raghav and ved were doing illegal things at a time (Raghav being indulgent in smuggling and custom department and ved being in drugs ) There could have been a moral dilemma shown how raghav is himself wrong but his chose the other wrong person to hand over to law. One evil over other evil

but alas! it is itv hero needs to be white washed 😶

Individuality is one thing. Secondly M is not bringing anything out of the box. Being creepy is not new. Even on acting part his expressions and everything are coming out exaggerated with supporting cast also being on hype train. If all this was done in little subtle way, it would hv given depth to his character. Right now It is just creepfest going on.

Raghav has never left smuggling. Its just ppl ignore his smuggling because of being in awe of his personality. The whitewashing I felt started after marriage and I too don't like that part. I would want a proper V vs RR, pure mind games and one upping other for 2-3 weeks. Should be interesting watch,

I think makers opted for mandaar to be psycho creepy than a highly perceptive person is because I read somewhere that sickand sir said it raises the trp. He had used the same pyscho lover formula in his last show khkt and it definitely raised the trp points to a bit. So he using the same experiment and trick now in Mhrw.

As for V v/s RR , I can only hope that makers might serve us right after this triangle love story track is finished or they can even show in between. A hero troubled from all sides be it emotionally , mentally physically I can't say which villain can give takkar to RR 🤣

Bechare Raghav par kuch jyada hi zulm ho jayega and Sai have to give variety of emotions 😂😂

Not seen so can't comment on that show. But I think TRP will be down. Online TRP for sure. BARC also if they didn't started promoting hell out of it. I think there is fine line between interesting nd puke inducing. Actions for past sometime falls in latter for me.

That can help. Let P be with M understanding him nd growing some brain for few weeks and a proper crime/spy genre arc for RR vs V. I m good. Ppl who like that arc can enjoy that. Rest cn see this.

can't predict how makers will handle this track or the future tracks

But I am having this uneasy feeling that they are gonna make RR a perpetual devdas in this track further lowering the character standards and forgiveness for pallavi at end of this track without a good redemption

Rest it's all fiction. We can enjoy till we can 😊

Or the best option is that we can make our own fan fictions 😃
