Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki: Episode Discussion Thread - 42 - Page 103

He is. Whenever there’s a khulasa for him, the track ends. He is normally kept clueless till then

Someone called him bholuram on social media 😭😂

I have only seen a handful of ITV shows and this is my experience with MLs. I have stuck to the shows which always had strong MLs, not mere furniture and thats why Vik could never make an impression on me. People here might say, well, he is not furniture. He is part of the love story. But this show is NOT a love story, it is a dystopian story where only two people who are "good" need to survive the evil world. And out of the two good people, only one, the FL has the ability to pull through! Thats why I relegate the ML to furniture.

Even Ahem of SNS, who is grey, reddest flag, initially was a furniture ML, has had tremendous growth where he raised his two daughters single handedly. He stood his ground NOT to take back his wife who he loved, just to protect his daughters from a mahaan mother! sometimes, it takes guts to show your ML like that, in order to make him impactful to the story. People connect to his emotions, even if his decision looks cruel or egoistic. He is understood from the PoV of a protective father. Not just as a lover/husband. Thats when the ML will become a character rather than an eye/arm candy ML. Not just a crying ML, but a strong ML who has voice. Thats where Vik falls short. Not that the writers are paying attention to him. They never did. They dont understand male psychology or how men handle situations. That insight is missing in the writers.

Vik is highly unrealistic character whose redemption happens through accidents, begging, and memory loss where he is exempt from taking any responsibility! That is something NO one can relate to in an ML, who is supposed to be central part in FL's life. There is no redemption arc for him and thats why the writers keep repeating the same tracks where FL struggles to keep them afloat. ITV has mastered FL's arc over years. Even if they repeat it, they will connect to her. For the viewers, if the FL is trying to reach out to ML, save and rehabilitate him, will work with minimal effort. And thats what is going on here. Having a good looking lead pair, they can bank on this for a long time. TRP will remain constant at some point

Till they fix the ML character, I dont think TRP or the interest in the show will increase. My 2 cents.

Edited: The only time I connected to Vik is during ManVik's failed wedding before the leap. That too for one episode where he felt identity crisis and called off the wedding.

Had they showed Vikrant’s revenge arc in this track, it would’ve have made me again go back to religiously watching the show. They could’ve take a lesson from Ekta’s old shows and tweaked it as per current times.But no, He’s the abla naari here who needs rescuing by the FL every time he manages to land in a soup. The last time he was shown to be a “man”protecting his girl was in bobby track and that was over a year ago!

My inkling is they’re unable to manage two shows probably due to staff constraint and Mannat is bearing the brunt of it because Aarambi is doing quite decently based on the clips I have been seeing off late! The tracks are interesting and do not drag the way Mannat does to the point that becomes irritating. For example last one week they spent on DK dissuading Mannat, Manyata being psycho possessive lover and Samragyi and her devar’s illicit affair

The story from plot perspective haven’t moved an inch3 din se they’re showing same precap of Mannat going to panchsheelpur to look for Vikrant. Abhi Tak usse yeh karne ka suavsar prapt nahi hua hai!

Agar drag karna bhi hai toh karo but atleast show something interesting. It’s the same rinse repeat. It’s like Mukta deliberately wanting to end the show but rangu isn’t alllowing to, aisa sautela behaviour ka aur koi reason samajh nahi aata

Seems like she is more interested in completing 500 episodes somehow & then end the show...
