I kinda understand where you are coming from…. My only exposure to Leena is through this blasted venture…so I am loathe to attempt any understanding or empathy for how she came to be…
her journey can’t be too different from others in this business… I guess; it’s not that others have covered themselves in glory but even in their stupidity they aren’t mocking their audience but with Leena I felt she is insulting the audience.
ofc am willing to concede that she has a knack for leaving things in the air which somehow supports her style of “storytelling” and which draws a set of audience who find that odd slice of life quaint perhaps for a while but it has its limitations. You have made the points that i completely understand.
Take for instance the Jhanak character. Jhanak was supposed to have developed deep feelings for Ani but she was shown wafting between wanting Ani to own up yet act chagrined if he did… yet dissatisfied when he didn’t etc not an unusual trait cos obviously many who deal in the conflict of ethics would be in such a position but the narrative never explored this side of Jhanak pointedly..it merely hinted at this but never took a position because it was convenient to keep her at status quo or martyr or whatever and throw the ML under the bus and use Ani’s earlier wafting state as a convenient stick to beat with and make him the villain of the piece using his “famed” jealousy which surprisingly made an appearance when it was time to make an exit!! I would have loved to see a PERSPECTIVE not the NEBULOUS NONSENSE she peddled.
also If she wanted to say that Ani wasn’t trustworthy…despite all his tall claims.. it needed a better approach through the entire series rather than just make him AMNESIAC about the travel of his sp*rms and at other times crying to all and sundry about his love for Jhanak.
That’s where Leena acted clever by half… She knew showing a ML who was not trustworthy wouldn’t draw the audience for the grand love story she was planning so she kept it all up in the air for the gullible to interpret
BHAK LEENA GET LOST!! 🤣🤣
