@ caro...oh but shakespeare was meant for masala...he himself was an uneducated entertainer as opposed to the university wits like jonson, his contemporary. the beauty of shakespeare lies in the fact that you can take his work at face value and make a complete pot boiler out of it, you can also psychologically analyze it to perfection. typically i think they should've stuck to something inane like midsummer night's dream. in any case, everything here is physical, so may as well use one of shakespeare's baser comedies...why use a book that has been applauded time and again for social commentary?

restoration drama neone??? 😳

Loved your post Caro and wanted to contribute ...

Two dialogues, one from yesterday's episode and one from today's upcoming confession episode are blatantly "stolen" from P&P. I don't know if I should be happy or mad.

One - "Aagar mere baare mein tumhara khayal ab bhi wahi hai jo pehle tah, toh bas ek bar keh do"

Two - "Aagar tum bhi mujhse pyaar karti ho toh eh do, warna mein tumhe phir kabhi pareshan nahi karoonga"

Compare it with Darcy's dialogue to Eliza - "You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever."

Your thoughts?

I am not going to talk about the story of the play in MJHT as I havent understood it yet.

Let us see at what we know

and what I know is only WHO is supposedly playing what and are they indeed playing the specific character!

Elizabeth Bennet/Esha-lively, attarctive and witty. Nupur is indeed lively attractive ans witty but the Elizabeth/Esha in the play has always been portrayed as the lovestruck persona. We can still assume this Lizze/Esha to be the one who realises Varun/Will Darcy helped her family and she is indebted to him. SOmehow remotely with grteat difficulty we can attribute the Esha we saw to the Lizze in a bind.

William Darcy:handsome, intelligent, arrogant to strangers but really valued by those who love him. the Varun in the play can only be related to the loverboy Darcy which never forms the basis for his interaction. As is the case, we have probably seen ONLY sayank and Mayur scenes which show the incomplete man. Shouldnt there have been some RV-mayank scene to portray the other side of THE DARCY!

THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT I HAVE:
Jane Bennet/Jahnvi!
BY PnP Jahnvi is SWEETER, SHYER than Lizzie/Esha. Jahnvi is supposed to be a little more demure then why on earth she is portraying smaller and sexier clothes I do not understand
.


The best character I have seen in the play is RV or rather hisr eal character in MJHT is closer to what RV is and I can see him as the sole character who is indeed close to.

On a deeper thought Samrat, RV and Dia dont really have much scenes in the play and it is again a loophole! Niether does Sheena have much scenes but her characterization irks me because she is SO not Jane! Gunjan will certinly have been a better Jane. Or Sheena may have been a better Jane too if ONLY they bothered to cover her up!

I am no prude and I am NOT saying they should have told the complete story of the classic play in MJHT. I for one cant hope to see the end of the drama as it is affecting my favourites in the show!


The creatives should not have tampered with THIS CLASSIC in teh name of creativity!


This is my personal viewpoint comparing what I saw. No bashing in this post please

the beauty of the play has been butchered to take forward a love story!😕

Completely agree!You are absolutely right!No need to distort a classic in order to forward a love story!
