TV Soaps losing track...
Laagi Tujh Se Lagan
Agreed, Nakusha is extremely beautiful for living in a chawl hence her parents shield her from wicked eyes by making her rub soot on her skin to look ugly. But the makers are taking their creative liberties too far. In one episode the soot on Nakusha's face washes off with water to reveal her beautiful self. But in other episodes, rain water plain water or even tears do nothing to remove the traces of soot. It's difficult for even the most die-hard fan to digest this fact.
Sapna Babul Ka... Bidaai:
The storyline began with one of the lead characters, Alekh, being mentally unstable. But over the years, his mental health improved so drastically that he even began to look after the business empire! Post the death of his wife, the character slipped back to being unstable. Guess the makers
didn't need a doctor's opinion before making such drastic changes in the script.
Bairi Piya:
We've heard of friends turning into foes and vice versa. But in this show, the tormentor-in-chief ultimately turns lover! The storyline of " Bairi Piya" was set against the backdrop of farmer's suicide. But a few episodes into the show, the main issue took a backseat and there began a cat and mouse game between protagonist Amoli and antagonist Thakur. And like most Ekta Kapoor shows it became difficult to keep track of the changing storyline time and again. Ultimately, Amoli starts falling in love with her tormentor, Thakur. The audiences were left puzzled, wondering how a woman can fall in love with a man who has always tortured her. To end the confusion, the channel decided to wrap up the show!
Pavitra Rishta:
In this show, there's no moving on for the lead characters. That their marriage ended on a sour note, does not deter Manav and Archana, from holding a torch for one another. Though the show has taken a leap, nothing much has changed about the characters - they might marry elsewhere but end up pining for the other and shedding tears every single episode!
Geet...Hui Sabse Pariyee:
The show "Geet..." began on a promising note with the storyline tackling the issue of the horrors of NRI marriage. But the current track is anything but promising, in fact it borders on the incredible. Geet's husband dupes and then dumps her. She goes to the big bad city and ends up working in her husband's brother's office who is also her boss. Geet even starts living at her boss' place and all this while she has no clue that he is her brother-in-law! And did someone mention something about her being pregnant? Well, don't ask us. We are confused.
Miley Jab Hum Tum:
Four important characters, two love stories and college setting. You have a youth-centric show which is a hit. But a few months ago the makers of "Miley Jab Hum Tum" decided to bump off the character Nupur, played by Rati Pandey citing difficult behaviour by the actor. But the loyal audience did not take it lying down and protested to the channel, threatening boycott of the show. TRPs fell and finally Nupur was back! Post her return, the character is shown to have lost her memory (cliche), but the question is; how did her husband and sister fail to recognise that it was not Nupur's dead body in the first place. Beats us.
Bandini:
Lead actor Ronit Roy plays a middle-aged character, Dharamveer Mahiyavanshi, who marries a teenager, Santoo. She is younger that most of the children. The show has taken many leaps - five years, 10 years and now 20! Let's forget the fact that even post marriage Santoo calls her husband maalik and figure out how old Ronit's character is in the show. Do the math, coz we aren't.
