From someone who hasn't seen ITV much, never regularly to getting hooked to this one show, here are a few things I'd like to say to the makers. Ofc it's your show, your story, and you're going to take your own route. But here are a few things I'd like to say anyway.
1. There are so many characters on Udaariyan, and almost everyone of them have potential to shine on their own. And make no mistake, that'll attract viewers. KVG was a strong although flawed man with principles who deserves his story continued, not just as a statue to stand in the BG while the three four actors do their usual, very repetitive drama. How about him getting back in politics? Regaining his position?
The under utilization, and ott space to some characters will be the biggest flaw.
Angad was such a dynamic character, and now he's just in BG doing...nothing? What a shame to waste a good actor like that. How tf have you erased his entire story? Accident pov, the woman he remembered, license thing...all gone?
What's up with so much space for Jasmine even when it's not necessary? We get it, she's cheap, downmarket...but you don't need to show 10 minute mujra everytime she enters.
And it goes for all the characters. Except for one character, everyone is simply ignored.
2. Missed opportunities.
You know when you get an opportunity, you use that to create something nice. When you have weddings, you create some genuine lighthearted moments in the family.
When the leads meet for the last time, and her face is dirty, it'd have been the most obvious thing for Fateh to clean up her face. However somehow that didn't come to you??!!
You were brilliant at this prior to the marriage, after the marriage, even during EMA. You took every small moment to highlight that Fateh and Tejo have something irreplaceable. They were tiny moments, but very impactful. And now you've completely cut them off. Or maybe once in a week.
3. Storyline.
Not going to complain about EMA, yes it was painful, but it was also a major part of the story, you made it clear from the beginning. Anyone with a brain cell would know this. And as traumatising and torturous it was, credit where its due, y'all managed it very realistically. Same goes for Fateh's redemption. You took this extremely flawed man, and let him evolve. F's journey was simply the best.
However how can you forget a proper confrontation between Fatejo? Tejo has always believed in clear communication, and despite the fact that she can see Fateh has changed, does she not have any doubts, any complaints, any pain, trauma? How can you even make it believable that without a proper conversation, they'll be okay?
And, stop running like a headless chicken everytime TRP drops. Do not change the flow of story. Do not change it on a daily basis. It's hurting the show, both in short term, and long term. There'll be some episodes which might not bring you high TRP but they'll be the scenes, episodes essential from the storytelling pov. Yes drama and angst brings the high TRPs. But if you overdo it, then it just becomes normal. It loses the impact. Rn audience is used to the negativity so much that whatever you will do, won't make much difference. Let the characters breathe a little. Give them and audience something nice, and not lollipops, but actual good scenes which would make sense. Not just random eyelocks, but some progression. Most of the cast is ridiculously good, use their potential.
