~Pyar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan~ EDT #1 - Page 22

That's the route:RM together cause Gungun rejects him,R feels bad-sad for his sadness-falls for him;Gungun slowly getting comfortable with R and with her only,Mohan seeing this-feeling impressed-soon to realize needs a better mom for G than the one busy with her superficial friends&what people say. Blockroad-his stepmom cause he agreed for marriage at her demand...but nobody said can't change the bride.

Assumed there may be some funny school or kids party scenes with chubby Chintu boy, here they are showing him like a bully psycho that too against such smarty Gungun?😔

(In one way Gungun may get harsh reality, that there are kids who are ruder than her, and she can't always dominate or throw tantrums at people?)

...And then NO action from her even when her dear ones are getting into trouble, may be directors want to keep highlighting how helpless this GHOST is and how sorry viewers need to feel for her even after her death

(In flashback scenes and pics Tulsi's face is soothing, calm, composed not just in romantic even in arguing scenes with Mohan her tone is also controlled. But as in present times GHOST she is hell distraction in all important scenes with that heavy makeup, screeching voice, overly curled long hair wig and same getup.😲) ...

If they are trying to make us feel sorry for her state, they are not doing a good job at it. We want her to do somethings and never go OTT in that too. In a way the audience have been kind enough to accept her presence in the show, even if it is completely illogical - mostly because her presence is pleasant and not OTT. So they better be consistent with what she can and cant do, which at the moment is quite questionable.

Else it was better if she was confined to the flashbacks where she has a much more pleasant presence. As of now, i dont see anything of much value that the ghost version is adding to the show. It seems like her actions around D and her mom will be limited to doing something that will lead to the next round of visit to the black magician.

They are concentrating on 'creating situations' that will bring R and M closer to each other especially through G. Idk how that is going to work out - while a better relationship between father and daughter is welcome, R's interventions are jarring for me. So are her ways. I don't know what to feel about her 'fixing' his phone with fevicol and tapes and then giving the maxim 'Jo toot-ta hai woh jud bhi sakta hai'. And I dont know how to feel about Mohan if he takes her words seriously (at least he shouldn't be shown 'dumb').

With their focus on R,M, and G, they are not doing justice to other characters around - Ghost, Rahul, and Ketki especially. All three characters are/ can be interesting and offer much more than they are doing right now. Would love to see the ghost arguing with Mohan (even if he cant hear her) while he complains to the pic. In the least we may come to know more about their story and her take on it.

More on creating situations (something that is getting irritating for me) - please let the characters do things rather than creating situations after situations that will somehow enhance the role of Radha in the show! Idk if this is a trend in new shows, but seen it in kkb during the big leap - where they relentlessly created one OTT situation after another rather than letting the characters live and create situations of their own. We already had the engagement, court case, kidnapping, missing Gita, Tulsi's birthday and plant drama, school competition, and now fainting G in these initial episodes, all brought forth out of thin air, and all the while they haven't worked on letting us know the characters more - be it Radha or even Tulsi. [Getting thrown out of the house can be a big 'event'... but what i felt about it was 'nothing'.] Reducing these to just 3/4 and letting the viewers know more about these characters would have worked much better.

Even I feel similar. Below was my comment on bird app.

Being a new show rather than building up chars, so that viewers start relating to them, RM team is making people in Trivedi house stand in line as mere onlookers in that hall or backyard (including GHOST) 😲 and seems just throwing every week some dramatic situation in that haunted house (some times OTT too) to fill up episodes.

Must be the trend,past 2-3 years not having couples building up their relation in a natural manner,after living together various situations. All pushed,all artificial,one day can't stand one another then some exagerrated drama happens and realize love. Maybe cause are rushing towards in love&ideal couple stage and try to sell that image,ignore the falling in love process that is the best of all.

Sad. No issues in creating situations - we have had many in kkb (non-leap phases too). But allow the characters to 'live' (or perhaps breathe) in those situations.

Take the court case - any normal person would've felt a lot of anxiety for days before the hearing. Mohan wasn't even shown thinking about it until it came to it and also got engaged the previous day! That was something that could've shown taking some time, if nothing else let people know more about what happened and how guilty he feels even if he didnt kill her. But all done in minutes. And coming back from there we have the kidnapping.... and so on.

Write good stories and people will watch it and dont hide behind saying this is what people want! And Shabir alone cant make us love the pair even if situations lead to them realising their love for each other.

Pair can't be as loved as others but with the right story-less fake situations created to bring them close-work out to have them know one another and time to accommodate off screen can at least be accepted,not look odd.

Here are using same tricks all pairs have but it's a bit too soon,she's still a stranger he met last time when she was a baby and even then they had not a superclose friendship to continue where they left off;and she is still talking too much and taking steps no other family member takes.

Pre-Covid times one of successful hindi TV shows was Kulfi kumar bajewala on SP channel. (its also remake story). Father-daughter relationship clubbed with music was core concept; this show was not banking on romance, cliched kitchen drama, leads chemistry, love story, bride/groom swap weddings, polygamy etc.

Emotions, music, innocence and a village kids longing to find and meet her estranged father in city after her mothers death drove the show, ofcourse child actor was natural and a bundle of talent.🤗 (Later as usual makers deviated added unwanted OTT crimes/dramas).

So its possible to write and make TV shows with pure emotions on father-daughter bonds, promote them well when you have good actors to perform.👍🏼 Here writers can run entire show in this path in RM as well using Mohan-Gungun reconciliation with regular flashbacks of Mohan-Tulsi love, married life, business issues, mis-understandings, conspiracies, both sides family issues etc. that separated them leading to her murder causing hurt and humiliations to Mohan. In between unmasking Damini & co in present times.

Unfortunately from pre-launch to now, right from show's title RM makers seem hell bound to make Radha's POV as their story and give her main chunk and run their so called unconvincing devotional/mythological LOVE STORY vision onto viewers who don't seem to connect to Radha, neither is any chemistry remotely observed with Mohan-Radha. Added is useless & hopeless GHOST angle which isn't even giving horror touch to show.

Someone should make the gamble, they can sure get some positive response if the story breaks the stereotypes we are used to and get innovative on the way, giving good social messages, family values, modern day struggles, hardships, successes. The only thing needed is good story with good actors, less of all that we are fed up and want to avoid seeing on tv

Just now read RM producer Prateek Sharma's IV on IF. (it may be old one from launch event but published today?).

After reading, there aren't remotely hopes for positive changes happening in this show soon, be it to expect as fiction show viewers or as Shabir fans. This RM is purely Radha's story.😕

How grossly they went wrong in casting and characterization of Radha during execution? And he defends to get instant connect to show and its main characters they tried giving devotional/mythological flavor and names to leads. In reality its working anti than pro.🤔

(Same producer went wrong last year with another hyped love story be it in its casting, characters, leads chemistry, story telling for same Zee channel which was called Teri meri jindri show set in Punjab background.)
