Just some observations on the show:

Ekta probably has access to a lot of talent and money. OK so you want to copy stuff - at least do it well! The production value of the show is so pathetic its kinda shocking. The clothes, the fake snow, the jumping from one scene to another (she was walking in the forest at night a 15 mins distance and gets to college during the day, then snow, then straight to class - with her suitcases?, then from hostel room to rapelling - how random!) Everybody's in short skirts and tanks and it starts to snow!?
During the whole rapelling sequence we kept wondering if our TV was messed up as everything seemed washed in a blue light (just in case we didnt get the lifted from twilight bit?)
I can see how the brainstorming session must have gone for this show -
  • hey i like gossip girl and how everyone dresses up and calls each other by their initials. we can have our girls wear ugly ill-fitting dresses showing off that they all do indeed possess and wear underwear!
  • and have you seen / read this twilight thing? made a lot of money and made the girls swoon. the hero's eyes change from gold to black and he runs sooo fast thru the jungle.
  • oh btw twilight is based on vampire diaries and the girl there is an orphan. lets kill off her parents and leave explanations for later. that way if the present story line doesnt work we can always dip into the past!

I wouldnt be surprised if she throws in elements of Glee next!

Hey!! I agree. I wish the production was better too.

the college atmosphere is exaggerated and the clothes are incompatible with the weather. 1 hr distance on foot if u take the road and 15 minutes through the forest.. impossible!
But thats the way indian television has always been. I dont understand why writers like to deviate from the natural. It isnt like it would cost too much to put the characters up in warm clothes but they probably thought warm clothes wont look 'hot' on Tee and ofcourse her chamchas so short skirts is the right thing to do...so what if its cold and snowing its more important for the character to look 'hot'.
thats how they think *shrug*
And as the saying goes common sense is indeed not common.

And i dont think it was night when she was walking through the forest. seemed more like early in the morning. because she was admiring the beauty of the forest at what seemed like twilight (u cant admire a forest in the dark) so that was okay i guess. still i dont see why they have to exaggerate everything.
