I hope makers don’t rush their story

Their story will be one of a kind. Girl gets the whole family arrested for fake DV case. Then gets married to her bf to get real taste of DV. So now she will return to the first husband by cancelling DV from both sides. Hence proved LHS = RHS

Oh Viraj was unhinged. KVB played him so well he honestly freaked me out. Man is that good at playing slightly eccentric characters

I remember watching the wedding night scene of Viraj and Jahnvi played by Sriti Jha. A cockroach ends up on their wedding bed and she’s scared. A normal human being would shoo the cockroach away, perhaps even kill it… Viraj EATS the damn thing for scaring his new bride!

Made me wanna puke as soon as I saw that and I knew he was even more cuckoo than I thought he would be.

He even managed to make a song like Hume Tumse Pyar Kitna (recently sung by Mihir in that Antakshari scene) become this absolute beast of a trauma inducing nightmare.

The moment he started humming or singing that you knew something absolutely awful and batshit crazy was about to go down. Poor Jahnvi legit would’ve got PTSD by just the mention of that song if she were a real person. I think in the show she does it too but it’s never clinically diagnosed and stated.

The thing is if makers are sure of keeping their main character negative but write them in such a way that they’re engaging as well as played by a powerhouse of an actor/actress they need not worry about people finding the character relatable.

No one exactly relates to Walter White but people find his wife, Skylar, an innocent woman married to a criminal capable of murder and so much more worse than him all because she comes across as nagging him. And what might you say constitutes for nagging? Her appeals to him to stop this life of crime and not put himself and his family in harm’s way.

That’s where the difference comes in. It’s all about the mindset. Don’t care if your character is relatable or not. Make sure they’re phenomenal and nothing else matters.

I mean look at Rahman Dakait played by Akshaye Khanna in Dhurandhar. People love him. He’s not even playing a good person’s character but it’s the acting combined with the nuanced writing. For example, he’s such a monster but when we are introduced to him he’s a grieving father who has just lost his young son and who lets his wife slap him in public in that hospital. He doesn’t raise his hand at her in retaliation, doesn’t so much as scream at her for it. Because he is shown as a father who understands in that moment that’s not his wife but the mother of his child hitting him in her grief, rage and devastation.

He knows that even she knows that amongst the two of them, only he will have the satisfaction of actually physically punishing their culprits who killed their son. But they’re both mourning, both in pain, and suffering. He will have his revenge and his anger will finally subside even if the loss and pain never will. But where does that leave his wife? Even she’s angry and hurting, she wants revenge too. She’s also blaming him for this situation because it’s his rivalry that got their son killed.

So he lets her have this… the only act of physical violence she’s capable of unleashing on the only person who understands her pain and suffering as well as the only person she knows she’s got a right over so wholly. That’s why even women are going gaga over the way relationships are shown in Dhurandhar.

Ranveer’s Hamza comes home after 26/11 and he’s immediately accused by Yalina of sleeping with another girl, then slapped by her after she yells at him. He calmly tells her that he won’t have her questioning him but if she can hold her questions, she’ll be the only woman in his life. No yelling, screaming, threatening or abuse of any form on a woman even though we have seen this man capable of such shocking and disturbing violence. Even as he’s giving her basically an ultimatum in that scene in response.

It all comes down to writing, acting but it must start with conviction. TV show makers need that big time in India to make nuanced characters and phenomenal shows.

A limited series with quality content and amazing performances by talented actors is better than a decade long nonsense.

Yeah I hated Samay for that too. But later in my mind I tried to ignore it as what Arjun did was so bad that I could even take Maya choosing him over Arjun. Best option would’ve been Maya choosing none, stop her craziness and going away to live her life. She was so beautiful and intelligent but wasted all for Arjun. She just suffered and suffered. I hated those jail scenes. I had to stop watching the show during that time. That’s why in the end I wanted her to die. First, because she did kill someone innocent in the end so she deserved to die. Second because I wanted her suffering to finally end and have peace. It’s not like she ever had any happiness in her life. So death was better for her

She had kiIIed an innocent person at the start itself. She had kiIIed the priest who had made the prophecy that Arjun and Sanjh will marry. It was much before anything had happened to her...

Aside she framed Arjun's brother in fake r**e case.

Any such character will be called evil had she not been the lead of the show, but since she was the lead hence they made her win

it was

While they were in Mauritius, a priest said that Arjun will marry Sanjh..

Next day that priest was found dead.. It was only towards the end that they cleared that he was kiIIed by Maya

I felt that arjun was better than samay who tried to exploit maya sexually.Like you said maya should have lived independently instead of wasting time on arjun.I didnt want maya to die.i wanted her to get arjun so that saanjh will end up being a loser.I wanted maya to get an ending like Don.

I don’t remember them showing Maya killing that priest or him saying about Arjun marrying saanjh. He didn’t talk about Arjun and Saanjh as he didn’t even know who Saanjh was. I do remember he kept telling Arjun to stay away from Maya. But the other pandit who the family hired said Maya and Arjun match 36/36 and all

the other Pandit was in India, so not him..

the one in Mauritius, maybe then I forgot what exactly he gave the prophecy, but it was against Maya Arjun and later Maya kiIIed him. It was clarified during the court case when each of her crimes were being exposed.
