GP looks like you and me are the only ones sailing in the same boat. I have been meaning to
post my views about the sudden drastic changes in the show but just haven't had the time.
I am just trying to catch up with everything that's going on in this forum.

I agree with you pretty much everything except Dutta wearing a tutu..that he definately won't. He won't change so drastically. Haan if this was an Ekta show, I might have agreed to that as well. With Ekta shows you never know what comes next.

Just like you I am a big fan of love stories.. and all the shows that I have watched so far
have been only love stories and the day they mess that up I switch to a new one. So I completely get your point and agree with you. Up until the jungle track the love story was on track.
But after that its seems to be losing its charm atleast I feel it that way.
The new time slot and Salman's promotion and Mahi's engagement everything had to be accomodated as per the channels demand.. agreed..but why mess up the track. Dutta suddenly from a don has become a love sick puppy. I don't want to see Dutta losing that charm, that attitude. If he has to woo Naku, he has to woo her in Dutta style.. not just like every other loverboy does.

I personally am very annoyed with Naku and her constant Bappa jaap. God has given us humans brains so use it. You cannot rely on the lord for everything. He is there to guide you,help you make
good decisions. Your life's happiness is in your own hands. Naku is ruining it for herself. Maybe its just me and Anu will vouch for it.. but I can never relate or sympathize with any heroines of any show. Its just weird. Anyway

Coming to Dutta and his constant stares. Like you said yes a person in love will stare but not so much.I actually love to watch when the lovers communicate with their eyes. I actually loved the way Dutta asks Naku to sit by him today.. that is exactly what needs to be shown.. itna stare karna is not natural.

Wardrobe I am not going to comment. That was just not needed either. He wanted to impress Naku then all he had to do was just put on some colored Kurta or sherwani.. that's it..

Alright, so I'm writing this post as much for you as for me. Let me explain. It gives me a chance to collect, understand, and communicate my own perspective, which sometimes leaves even me befuddled.

Many of you may have thought where has GP's head gone? First, what does Dutta love about Naku, bring back the clothes, bring back the man, and other assorted topics. 😆

So I had a chance to think about why I am reacting so much to recent events and here are some topline reasons why, so you guys understand that there is a reason behind my madness.

First, I am huge a fan of love stories, as much as anyone else. But I am an even bigger fan of stories, how they are structured, how they make sense, how they flow. I'm also a big fan of stories where people realize their full potential and change their lives.

Now, for me, I am in no way attached to the characters. I feel for them but that's about it. And I don't fully understand why they do the things they do. But that is normal.

I was fine with the love story until the part where Dutta gets to Naku to save her from Anna. First, Naku doesn't say anything to Dutta when he questions her about his life and LETS HIM RISK HIS LIFE BY GOING ELSEWHERE IN ANNA'S COMPOUND looking for her. Yes, she was like a house divided--didn't know what to do. But come on! Do you want him with a bullet in his head or would you rather have him angry at you and mistrust the world? At least with the latter scenario, she could have tried to explain to him her actions and Babi could have vouched for her.

Then, Dutta, when he comes back, gets suddenly all googly eyed about Nakuhey GP was it really 'sudden' it had started in the JMM track itself? isnt it?. Natural enough. He's realizing he is in love. But for me, and again only me, it was somewhat silly--all he did was stare at herhey i understand what u are trying to say...but along with the staring he also had feeling for her! he had started becoming so caring..actually the thing is that he had already fallen for her before the anna track and what the CD thingy ultimately made him react to his love and forced him to go and save nakku...when he was under the shower, all the negativities got washed off and he was determined and came to a conclusion that nakku is the right person for him😆..dutta giving her tea, understanding that she wouldnt drink it until he starts sipping tea..all that was so good..he had started to understand nakku..one think that is the pillars of a good relationship..(understanding each other😊. Again, it is normal. We stare at things and people we love, but this much??? In this case, it was just plain weird. One morning, Dutta wakes up and realizes he is Romeo and Naku is his Juliet.again..was it just one fine day that he realized all this...???? i think the CV's stretched it very well and his realization was gradual...he fought with his innerself a hundred times and then concluded that nakku IS for him I did not find it totally charming, or sweet. It was nice, just that.

When all Dutta did was mope around the house, looking here and there for Naku, I was like "this is a grown man?"dil to bacha hai ji..thoda kacha hai ji😆😆 😆 i thought its a nice way of FEELING NAKKU in his house..abhi abhi to sacha pyaar hua hai..so he is enjoying it..and i know that he is a passionate lover..he always gives his 100% in everything. I know some of you may take exception to this statement, but I thought in their zest to show a romance and finally bring the jodi together, the CVs went too far in changing Dutta into a love-sick puppy. There are ways to show interest that would have been less juvenile. Take this word with a grain of salt. It has nothing to do with age per se, just that adults do act a bit differently when falling in love, even for the first time.

Then came his growing Bappa consciousness. Arre, I'm glad his faith is developing again, tickled pink, but he doesn't need to sound exactly like Naku.awesome point GP..love u for this....if i use my brain then i will totally agree with u...lekin dil se poocho na.. so i would say that couples always have similar thoughts, actions and speak similarly...the two influence each other in such a way that they usually exchange actions..i hope u get what i mean..we can easily make out if the two are a couple u knw..beacause they behave so similarly😊..so nakku has influenced him a lot! Stop thinking, stop doing, and leave it to ALL to Bappa. He could have expressedly it differently, and a bit less, and I would have totally bought into it.

And also, now Naku is still keeping her secret, running here, running there, feeling guilt, with crying plus more crying, plus that idiot Babi misdirecting herthats true gp...completely agree iwth u...this dragging is annoying and changing the concept😔...I was aware of her predicament, but I did not empathize with her.

Then came the clothes because Naku mentioned that colors would look nice on him. Last time I looked, kurtas came in colors too! And there is always a middle ground. So when Dutta's character said "My clothes are changing, not me," I was incredulous. It was a silly statement. Of course, HE HAS CHANGED! Look in the mirror, man! Listen to your words, the way you act, the way you mope around the house. Now, if Naku said, I'd like you to wear a tutu, is he going to wear a tutu to impress her? Probably yes, at this juncture.

By this point, I'm like WTH is going on? Yes, it is a beautiful evolution of a person, Dutta, for the better. I like that. I like the romance, even if I felt it was getting much now (based on my preconceived notions of love). I'm just NOW READY FOR BEYOND THEIR GETTING TOGETHER. The romance has been enough for me, and I am now ready to see their wedding and the next wonderful, and suspenseful storyline that the CVs are craftily putting together.*balle balle* even im waiting 4 the wedding😆 A part of me feels that their talents are wasted on this love story alone. It's time for other surprises now.

After this diatribe, I hope you are 1) NOT upset with me, 2) NOT annoyed at my personal opinions on Dutta and Naku and 3) NOT doubting my appreciation for the show.

But I think you can guess at my hangups:
1) I understand Naku's predicament, but she is essentially lying, and has been for some time. She's sweet and cute, but her judgment is very suspect.
2) I generally don't like to see people change too much because of others. Change can be inspired (e.g. by Naku), I've been inspired to change too throughout my life, but the total emotional, physical changes in Dutta are just those of a love-sick puppy who is also looking to improve his life. I do respect it, but somehow I would have respected it more if he was doing it more for himself, to improve his own life VS to impress Naku. Or it may be a combination of these two, who knows?
3) The clothes thing bothered me for one reason and one reason alone: he did it for Naku alone. IT IS NOT ABOUT CLOTHES, BY GOD! OR HIS HOTNESS! Dutta didn't change his clothes because he wanted to be what he used to be like. He didn't do it to show the world the new him--shed the old world view, shed the old clothes, try something less rigid. He did it to impress Naku. Now I have worn something I thought someone else would like, sure. But changing my wardrobe? Nahh...hey GP...dutta reacts to things very easily and his living styles do change drastically according to his mood...even i cant take new things so easily but thats how dutta is...he had worn yellow kurta when he was with sups but the moment he was doubtful abt her loving him ...he started wearing black kurtas agn.... well actually what the CV's are doing is BRINGING BACK THE CLOTHES coz thats how dutta used to be earlier......but yes even for me such drastic changes are hard to take in!...the change in dressing style could have been slow and gradual..but looks like its going according to dutta's character..we have seen more of the don like dutta so its difficult to see the change but he was like that before but yes of course GP this change could have been gradual and not so obvious too!.😊
Some people have said that is sweet and touching...I find it sappy. My lone point is that there was a happy medium, and the LTL decision-makers did not take it. And the clothes to me was another indication of how far and fast they are taking this "sweet" evolution. To my disbelieving and critictal eyes. 😆

Sorry for my rant, but I did want you to understand why my posts or responses are the way they are.
LTL is an awesome show, I enjoy it, but am now looking forward to the next big thing.

😃 🤗
..
hey gp ur thoughts are valid dear...and y shoudl we be upset with u?? u have all rights to express ur feelings..critically watch the show..thats what will help the CV's in future!😃

But don't you think that the family back story was always there in the pipeline? Why else did they keep Dutta's lineage under wraps then, for so many months? We were never clear about how Dutta was actually related to AS and his sisters!

Sorry for going off-topic!



Yes...but they have kept off the back story as long as possible and have played with the face reveal. Now once they are done with the face reveal they will focus on the back story. They cant keep playing on Naku's face forever...the CVs knew that and prepared for that. Thank god for that!

I kinda agree with you gp...I was also surprised at the sudden change in dutta....specially when they were coming back from the jungle he started to have some feelings for her and when she was kidnapped and they came home he changed again because of Kala...but after that every thing that happened was too rushed or looked kinda forced to me...sometimes i feel like they have change the main author of the show or they r only showing scenes what they think the audience want.....we wanted him to romance with kali naku first ...and if I remember correctly it was you who made a post that you didn't like gori naku and you want dutta to comlpletly fell for kali naku so the concept of the show remains intact....I guess now thats exactly what the cvs r trying to do ...by showing him deeply in love with kali naku so we can say that he doesn't care abt her color but her dil..........another thing for postponing the color revelation as someone pointed out is the timings not being right cuz of the festivities going on right now.....so now they have to fill the episode with some of these twisted logic and we have no other choice but accept it as that is how the soaps work....if you r talking abt real drama serials or mini series than you expect them to follow a story line and stick to it without adding silly masala or twists or tracks as it is more commonly known in the soap world.I hope i have made my point clear.



Exactly...they are rubbing in the fact that Dutta has truly fallen for Naku. They cant take things slowly now as they cannot play tease with the face revelation for much longer. So they need Dutta to be very obvious abt his feelings rather than his usual subtle self so that they non-regular viewers get it that Dutta has fallen for Naku. I am glad they are doing this...otherwise Dutta would have been accused of being shallow. And I am speaking from experience.

@ shreya: Thanks!! Will definitely continue posting on the forum.

You really seem to have a handle on these shows and their TRPs. Many times it is obvious that the current track is progressing the way it is because of TRPs, and I dont mind that. Even Dutta's behavior is something I feel is justified (not sure if it is the right word) for Nakku's sake, she has been waiting for it forever..

However, Nakku behaving totally out of character and OTT to accommodate Salman's entry is where I wish that the creatives draw a line with respect to the channel's demands!!

okay gp ... I think I can now reply to your post ...... 😆

I agree with you on Nakku's behaviour. I don't understand that at one point she is concerned, guilty about hiding her truth, deceiving Dutta and at the same time she has changed her behaviour towards him. She is enjoying (well may be the word is not right, but I am unable to come up with another word) his presence, his acceptance of her love and more over his changed attitude. I don't understand why she is not paying attention to what CP told her. I mean it was the best suggestion. She should have really told her truth to Dutta and let him decide rather than postponing it.

I find Dutta more sensible then Nakku. He simply followed what Jagtap dada told him .... to follow his heart. Infact at that point he just overlooked Nakku's involvement in Supriya's elopement. It was quite recently that he realised that nakku was innocent. But I don't know why Nakku can not do the same. her weird behaviour is not going down well with me. She is just getting on my nerve and this feeling makes me realise that LTL is a fiction and not something real. Because in reality nobody would do something like this.

About change in Dutta ... well I think for him this feeling is quite new. So he wants to experience it. I don't think he is gonna change his dressing but now the variation might be seen quite often.
