It was about this guy who had this toxic co dependant relationship with his mom & how their lives change when this girl enters their life. It was an extremely normal and cliched premise but what set it apart was the writing and execution. KZK just showed nonsense in the name of conflict. FL agreeing to marry an old man, ML insulting her after sleeping with her because he was blackmailed by psycho angle, FL ditching ML at alter because she made a deal with new guy, ML throwing FL off bridge because he is protecting her- that's utter crap in the name of drama 😂 I'd rather take Dev being impulsive and breaking up with Sona because he is stupid, short sighted and loses track of right and wrong when it involves his mom. Also Ishwari was never supposed to be a planning and plotting vamp. She did not plot to get Sonakshi killed or kidnapped or other random shit. She is what you call grey. She was unbearable and frustrating but she wasn't a conniving vamp. The conflicts in Kuch Rang were way more real and written way better too. You can find a guy like Dev in reality. A mother in law like Ishwari and even a daughter in law like Sonakshi. But you won't find the stupidity which happened in KZK in reality. That's what sets KRP apart IMO
Yes, they had that realism within themselves. But, I find Bose family more realistic. Each and every character is relatable. Regarding Dixits, I cannot say that they are relatable or unrelatable. But the characters are quite 'tried and tested' only except Neha. Nothing like unique characters (I consider Sonakshi as unique, a little). In Kuch Rang, the good thing is the complexity which other shows too have but they give horrendous ending to complex issues while here they gave a decent ending. But one thing is clear. Sonakshi, Dev and Ishwari type people exists in society.
Regards comparison and all, I think this show is not worth the hype it had already. It is not any path breaking show. Just a saas bahu drama with additional mental torture and minimal realism.
