Sweet Kriya scene yesterday but RUINED for me by that silly hand continuity blooper. 😔😔
Pooja's got her hand around his neck in all of HER close ups and on his right shoulder in all of Arhaan's close ups and of course, it was clear that he wasn't actually carrying her in any shot except the long ones.šŸ˜•

What is this, Director? 😲Of course, you cheat but for heaven's sake LOOK at the FRAME and see if it's consistent, na? Small effort for you but worth it because otherwise it breaks the fourth wall so badly, all your good work goes down the drain. The distance between the actors is always erratic - close in the long shots and suddenly we find miles between them in the closer ones - this is particularly irritating and coy of you in the romantic scenes
šŸ˜”. Yes, make sure the actors are comfortable - but at the end of the day they're professionals playing a part and there's no need to compromise on the scene just to maintain absurd levels of modesty. If they've stood so close for one shot, they won't melt if they're an inch closer in the next.

The look direction is often weird, we just have to imagine the characters are looking at each other and the editing is sometimes choppy too - not everywhere but particularly in scenes that you guys think of as fillers.

Yes, this is a daily soap and we can't expect cinematic standards but you've got to have some, now, come on!

Woah woah Babitha!😲😲
Please read carefully and note that I've addressed the director throughout - it is completely his or her call. I haven't DRAGGED the actors into anything - I am critiquing some lax production.
Besides, there's no need to be so sensitive about all of this - I'm as big a fan of the actors and the show as you or anyone else - they are not more yours than mine or anyone else's, you know.

hey no offence taken or meant šŸ˜ƒšŸ¤— - this forum is such a jhagdaalu place that everyone sounds more forceful than they mean to. šŸ˜†šŸ˜†
absolutely right, the actors will do what they're asked - they don't know what the scene is turning out like, it's totally the director/camera man's call. and yeah Arja have done some amazing scenes with some fabulous chemistry - they were amazing yesterday also.

They clearly have no understanding whatsoever of the depth of feeling we have for this programme and jodi in particular.
I'm with you all the way and applaud you for bothering to write a post about it and addressing the programme makers as opposed to the actors - the actors always deliver excellent performances but have to be guided by the production/direction teams to make their performances shine.
Nothing worse than treating your audience with contempt inthis way - thinking dedicated addicts wouldnt notice complacency!
CVs - we love this jodi - and the work you do - so please take this critism constructively!šŸ‘šŸ¼
Nice one soapbubble!šŸ‘
