Now that it has been some time since I got the news of MHRW going off-air, I think I can pen my feelings in a more rational manner.
First of all, I am thankful that I gave this show a chance because trust me in all my ITV experience, this is one show that has captivated me like anything. I am so glad to see the growth in Sai and Shivangi and I wish them all the best. I am sad that the show is probably not going to end the way I visualized - with Raghav taking Krishna Rao down and Raghav - pallavi understanding each other better but I am glad that for the major part of the show the tracks were really good.
I've seen good shows earlier as well but it's been a damn long time since I saw two characters as layered and nuanced as Raghav and Pallavi, and I'm so grateful to Sickand for this one thing: casting two newcomers and taking a chance. Sai and Shivangi have done their parts and more. SP is not known for launching shows that are as different as MHRW but I guess we lucked out in that it was originally a remake, and we all know SP digs remakes. I'm so, so grateful to both Sai and Shivangi for being two amazing actors who grew so much over the course of the show and made RaghVi's journey so organic and heart warming.
Sickand is a very small time producer - I was expecting the off-air news to come soon when I saw Sickand talking about his new show and new baby. These people can not manage multiple shows and since a new show takes about a month of shooting to happen before they go on air, I was expecting MHRW to go off-air soon which is what happened. All the best to Sickand, I understand his budget issues and his constraints. Wish him all the best in his future shows.
It's more than that I feel Sharada. Like we have been discussing for a while now: he always starts off with these fresh and somewhat original concepts but loses interest halfway and from there it just goes downhill. I can already tell you that his new show will suffer the same fate somewhere down the line. I was okay with the show going off air but I really hoped it would go on for this year at least because it had more stories to tell. I don't think I can watch his next shows because for me, the stress and frustration isn't worth the originality and the initial charm of his shows.
I really hope Sai and Shivangi do other TV shows because they are really so good for being newbie actors. I don't know how far Sai will do prime shows but I hope he gets retained by new producers and given more chances. Sai's telugu movie is also releasing in December so hopefully I can catch him there. I am not sure about Shivangi but hopefully she will also get better offers. And yes I really hope some PH casts them both in another show.
Just saw this on twitter😆
I want them together on my screen again (even if the story is just okay haha) but at the same time, I don't want them to do characters that they aren't happy doing. I know it's their job and so I wish they get really good projects. It might not be the same for them because RaghVi were definitely very close to both their hearts. These two have so much untapped potential man, I pray with everything they get their due recognition in the industry.
Surprisingly I am calm and composed and I am not feeling bad that the show is ending. Maybe I kind of knew that this is happening. Anyway I am happy this show happened so I am going to enjoy my last few days of this show.
I know I'll get over it, eventually. For now I'm just extremely disappointed because I didn't want my year to end like this. I started watching two shows this year including MHRW--one already faced the axe and this is going to suffer the same fate. I rely on desi entertainment as a form of therapy so now I'm out of options. My vaastu for ITV is not good at all😆 I don't know when/if I'll be back to watching anything on ITV ever again because everything else seems like trash (no offence to anyone who disagrees). Man, I really hope we get good episodes and a tight execution story/character-wise going forward for the days remaining. RaghVi, SaiShi and we all deserve this much.
