If you ask me, I have become quite neutral to these trends 😂
I had read your post about the number game on some thread. Wanted to reply then forgot 😂
But yeah, knowing and working the industry ( creative/ marketing) makes us thick-skinned for whatever happens or for that matter whatever crap is dished out in episodes.
It makes us more equipped with the ability of sitting down and enjoy some popcorn 😂
If I start putting down things technically in terms of screenwriting, Ghum won't be the same 😆
Rahi baat ram sita and other characters from mythology and ancient scriptures, there's a concept of character archetypes in core screenwriting.
ITV mein character archetypes nahi use hote.
And audience is failing to understand this.
There's absolutely no need to draw vague inferences - Ghum's characters and Ramayana characters.
Dusshera and Ram leela is a marketing agenda to encash on current festivities.
Character archetypes is altogether a different concept. So this debate and outrage of comparison doesn't make sense.
While we may draw inferences on what roles from mythology the characters can assume there can be no direct comparison of core qualities of the characters from mythology and Ghum Or any other show for that matter bcoz they are not character archetypes.
