well said me too agree show is so depressing

The Suguna - Shyam track is very interesting, so is the Gehna track. This is definitely an interesting show.... Look forward to watching it unlike all Ekta Kapoor shows.

hmm i also dont agree with u... had it been ekta's show.. pratap must hav come back frm dead.. may b wid a different face n body all together 😉 .. BV has tracks wch r close to reality...

Total respect to you but I disagree...I am finding the show more and more interesting. There are new elements to the show now compared to how the show was going before.
And this show is so not like an Ekta show. Totally respect to her shows but if you watch any Ekta shows then there should be no comparisons of BV and any Ekta show because BV is WAY different. :)

I totally diasgree with you....there is nothing like ekta element in the show.....this show is real...if reality does has depressing elements...so be it....but all that has been potrayed in the show so far does happen in our society.

Look at the story line - Three are three main tracks in this family - the Anandi track, which showed so much promise and captured the imagination of the nation has fizzled out with Anandi being reduced into a confused young girl who can only say "par Dadisa" or "par Suguna" and then get yelled at.

this is the main problem...the protagonist of the show has been pushed to the background. she has become a silly character whom no one pays much attention to. perhaps the reason is that the characters now are too popular and the show is now a victim of its own success. the channel and the producers are too scared to show a leap and show anandi-jagya grown up. and if they dont grow up the what? yes we know she shldnt have married in the first place and is too young to carry on the responsibilities of the beendni. but how many times will they make this point? from time to time they decide to remind us this hence suddenly we have dadisa yelling at her.

The Suguna track...let me see, pregnant, widowed and now being courted by the scion of the village's second most wealthy family? ...this storyline will attract a certain kind of audience, but not the one that got watching BV in the first place.

exactly! i think the main reason other top shows like bidaai, yeh rishta, betiyan, choti bahu and jsk have maintained their ratings is they have stuck to pleasing their core audiences. the whole shyam-suguna track is aimed at attracting the teen audiences but what abt the thinking audience who were watching the show for its social messages? isnt the whole shyam-suguna thing implausible? yes...i know uneducated village girls may suffer a fate like that of suguna's but how many wud have a guy like shyam falling for her? all the messages like education for girls, non discrimination against widows are out of the show. what happenned to those 2 other widows who were inspired by suguna to go to school? wont they get discouraged too since now suguna herself hasnt bothered abt school and is dreaming of motherhood? what was the point in showing widow emancipation for these months and go back on them?

The Phooli line....why oh why did they introduce that remarriage episode? all of a sudden, that charming family seems farcical in the way they decided in three days to get their daughter married off...that whole episode was designed to coincide with akshaya threethiya...again to prove some inane point since there are a lot of child marriages happening that day.

frankly speaking it was pointless to show her marriage. and as soon as her parents saw the police they had a change of heart? also the boy who played her groom didnt look that old either for the audiences to feel sympathetic to her. and what right did bhairon have to call the police when he himself has a child bride for a daughter and daughter-in-law?

The Gehna track was fine except I am completely confused with the role of the music teacher. And that situation with the fire in the room with these guys, so immersed in music that they were oblivious to the smoke that was getting everyone else rushing into the room in panic?

even i dont understand why have whole niranjan track? do they expect to send a message that it is right for a 18-19 year old girl to dump her baby and husband and walk off to the sunset with a guy closer to her age? will ppl really accept that?

right on!

After reading all your comments, I would like to qaulify my earlier statement.....the show is real...but i think the issue is that it is patchy....there is no conitunity in the message....

like there would be 2-3 episodes on widow education...like the villagers threatening to go to Panchayat for sugna instigating their widow daughthers....nothing happened after that..that died down..here madan singh was shown as somehwat negative...but with shyam trac..he has come to maajisa with a business idea.

then gehna-niranjan track...that died down after one or two episodes

even badi-masiji track came---positivity came in---then dadisa again woke up to assert her power and badi masiji out

then bhairav decided to stand for sugna and not let her go with a stranger and in the next episode he fizzled out...with mother love.

one episode, sumitra showed some gust and ased maasa to leave her daughter...then she also fizzles out.

Gehna suddenly becomes agressive and then she gets into a mode of crying and self pitying.

this show is always in negative-positive-negative-positive and is going around in circles with real message getting lost in these circles.

I think there is a lack of consitency in potraying the characters and the storyline needs to more continuous.

very well written shalgo...tis thng was also in my mind...thre is no consistency...bv started off welll n in the beginning the messages n the stry was well recieved...likewise u cud realte 2 wats happening ...bt of lately everyhtng is gettg confusing

Very well put. The show lacks continuity and because of it, one feels that the creatives are just posturing.
