ARTCLE ON JJKN- SO TRUE

THE SUNDAY TIMES OF INDIA- ARTICLE BY RADHA RAJDHAKSHA

TITLE-THATS ENTERTAINMENT?

For some weeks now we have been watching astrange phenomenon in jjkn: image s that display an alarming propensity to suddenly turn negatve. every now and then u have charecters morph into shade of blue on screen. what is this asatellite problem or god forbid creativity?

Take jassi for axample,the serial which started on acharming note,within a time had yawed inti a dis array of sub plots ,endless guest appearences and tacky promos of those in beauty businesss.

its difficult to imagine this is awork of tony and diy a who had crafted a watchable Banegi apni baat..

Thisis agood relevant article therfore ithought iwpould post it.

yeah i'm sure that after next week, the soap will hopefully pick up the pace and get with the program...whatever it's supposed to be so we don't get tired of watching JJKN!!!

I completely agree with the lady. The story might still be better than the most but the direction is so poor and the script so loose and senseless with the today's episode having no connection to what hapeened 10 episodes back, it is unbelievable. kekta's shows might be tacky and her story lines go into a realm of disbelief and mockery of family, but her sequence of direction is intact. Peole get resurrected, but diaries and glasses don't, chracters turn negative, protagonist don't loose respect.

Banegi Apni Baat seems to be such a far cry !!!!

iagree with a few things minnie but not entirely...

ekta doesnt change storywriters,scriptwriters,directors-episode and serial as often as weekly and she sticks to one thread and completes it throughly before she launches off into another direction.

whereas jjkn has only one thread- story of jassi-fullstop. nothing else is imp.actually its more continuous than most of ektas serials the main drawback has been the direction of the story itself..jjkn was so drab compared to all other soaps that even a twist lik jessica has all of us gunning for t&d throats...plus i constantly felt that they didnt know which way the story had to go for a long time after jesica was made--they seemed to decide after assessing public opinion which ekta doesnt seem tyo do---she almost always gauges public opinion before hand to any twist.

Peole get resurrected, but diaries and glasses don't,

which s worse dont u think,which s better?a resurrected book or a dead man?with a new face

chracters turn negative, protgonist don't loose respect.

i still prefer mallika turning vamp to some of the dehumanizing transformations of ektas serials-list is endless.

as for protagonists losing self respect, all of ektas leading women r extraaa strong personalities who rarely make mistakes(tulsi-parvati) or invariably have some misunderstanding that can be understood.they are all women who might have been not lik our protagonist- jassi---- wat selfrespecting girl of any class with common sense wudve behaved the way jassi does towards armaan or purab or nandu or her home.

jassi was intelligent but clueless about the world to begin with, i doubt if her characterization can be compared with the general knoww alls of ektas serials. u cud lik her more than respect her. now unfortunately even liking her is a little difficult.

wat i basically feel is comparison of stories--jjkn scores much more than ekta crap

technically and directionwise---it has fallen flat in the recent episodes

JJKN in any respects is WAY better and more interesting that ANY of Ekta's Crap.

agreed special. although, nowadays, it has lost it's touch

ya i agree with u, have any of u guyz been watchin kusum, it is like a million times worse than this! i actually like jjkn, it is one of my fav shows

totally agree that kusum is the worst serial ever to be made - probably the worst of the ekta lot...i generally switch to sony 5 minutes ahead of time, as there is no song in jjkn these days. the very dragging sad fact that i have to see the last 5 minutes of kusum is torture enough😕
