Gantchora means "knot" that is tied between the bride and the groom during the Bengali wedding ceremony. I wonder if Gul's new show is based on this since "Haa Qubool Hai" seems to be a knot between the man and the wife. Ironically when the promos of Gantchora first came out, everybody thought it was remake of Gul's Ishabaaz. But it is not. It is a story about a very wealthy family who are into diamond business. The three brothers of the family get married to three sisters from a middle class family.
They are showing rival companies trying to steal designs, etc. I don't know why they cannot show similar things in Imlie. Why not bring in a competitor for Bhaskar Times and build a storyline around that? Arylie fighting together for BT would have been wonderful if written well.
what I don't understand is why are Star so hell-bent on remaking all Bengali serials. Like I am a Bengali myself and my family watches those shows, they are good. but it's like watching the same thing over and over. Like we need new content. And not remakes, Yeh Rishta is a copy now, Kabhi Kabhi ittefaq, Rajjo, Banni, Anupama, Ghum like the whole Star Plus is a remake of Star Jalsha, and it's not fun. And a lot of Star Jalsha stuff starts very great and new but ends up being typical saas-bahu drama and all. 😡😕
