All the characters have their flaws and in a perfect world they would all be corrected and things would be a lot smoother, but this is a drama, and as we all know all story lines get dragged out to the limit so the show lasts longer.

I also have a lot of problems with mkap and stopped watching a couple of months ago but started again when shakshi fiasco ended. Of course its got its downsides but when i see bits of other indian shows, i still think mkap is far better than the others.

When it comes to the awards, to be honest i'm only bothered about kriya winning, the cvs have won more than enough, dare i say more than they deserve, and it is now time the actors received something back from the fans/audience.

Having said this, i'm not very patient either, and i often think, oh get on with it already, but the show will go according to how the producers want it to, but they have to improve a lot, and we will have to wait and see.

kaa baat hai. Lovely post well explained.

Lekin dear uh kaa hai ki MKAP saare awards jeetenge toh show ghatiya se badtar ho jayega . Do chaar awards kam mile toh akal thikaane par aa jayegi . They r not making any improvements coz they r not feeling the pinch . Let them miss some prizes and see how they start hopping like bunny rabbits who have drunk brandy . Kyu itna dil pe laga rahi ho . Sab Bhagwan ki leela samjho .Usne MKAP ko number one show banaya , wohi MKAP ko ek thappad bhi dega .



I agree Kools. some motivation is required for constant improvement. it is a fact of life

I think as a worker if I had a choice between winning an award for my popularity and receiving job satisfaction on a daily/weekly basis I would go for the latter. I know this as I have exprienced it in real life. there is nothing worse that waking up each morning and trying to get excited about the mediocre.

I am not at all fautling the actors or the director or any such people on this show. they are contracted employees tasked with enacting the script written by CVs. our critiquing forces CVs to improve so that the actors can shine at their character portrayals and receive that job satisfaction that people of their calibre deserve.

MKAP had a ton of potential and still does. tjhere is no doubting that. Somewhere along the way the CVs got horribly and possiblly even hypontically distracted and the comments were supposed to be a wake up call.

I don't see my other forum members (be they pratties like Dyehard, Soapbubble, Sam) or Krishna fans like (KC, Kools, Shefali) anymore. And even though we were on opposite sides of the debate it felt like our debates were improving the script and keeping the momentum alive. anyways. it is what it is.

  • The persistent and still ineffectual public speaking skills of Pratigya

    Did u see yesterday's bhashan ? It BORED . I liked Sajjan's response ........that ur not even pregnant yet so don't talk on the topic of MAA . He is a villain , and a hateful one , yet each time some of his retorts make sense . I dISLIKE Pratigya when she butts in and starts talking . Who is she to talk in Kesar's matter ?kesar has found her own voice and was talking .Why does she have to interfere and take over everywhere ? I did not see the show but I understand that SS's performance was stellar. She has to interfere - its in her genes.😃

    Kesar delivering the baby at TN and submitting herself to further inhumanity
    Kesar wont only deliver the baby , Kesar will GET BACK WITH SHAKTI and HAVE A LIFE WITH HIM . Just watch . Yes, after the last few tracks I can totally see this happening. Jaswant is TOOOOOOO good an actor as he has demonstrated repeatedly and he cannot just be cast aside like an Aman Mathur who surprisingly has gone with the wind.
    The SS Election Track has EVAPORATED on the back burner it was placed on
    We don't even know if he won or lost the election . Guruma has VANISHED and is taking up roles in GANGA KI DHEEJ . Guruma was interesting to watch. too bad they took her out and left the Saxs in. I was very hopeful the day Naina tried to poison them all😆
    Ghanti Dadi realizing that her ghanti was more effective
    Most Useless Female if u ask me . First she sat there , becoming fat and jingling bells like a woman having no kaam dhandas , giving headaches to all with her interruptions and now she expects to have authority all of a sudden after being aroused from a deep slumber .Sajjan shud put her in an Home for the Aged in Illahabad and send Sakthiya every Friday to meet her with a dibba of mutton curry prepared by Amma . I wish she had a more influential role to play as a matriach and i think she is being set up for this gradual? otherwise what is the purpose of her getting her voice back.
    Pratigya and the Saxenas continuing to wear the Sachaai ki murat tiaras with pride and a sense of entitlement while committing blatant (though well meaning) gaffes, misdemeanours and crimes??
    I want to see what they do when they find how CORRUPT Adarsh is . If Pratigya chooses NOT to look the other way this time and decides to PUNISH HIM [ GALTI KI HAI TOH SAZAA MILNI HI CHAHIYE] I hope Komal pulls out a tuft of her hair and wrestles with her on the ground saying WHY DIDNT U PUT ARUSHI IN JAIL , U INSUFFERABLE PREACHER . Based on past practice, nothing. Adarsh's crime will be put down to a developmental experience like Jai's and Arushi's was and the audience will move on.
    Krishna remaining imbecilic and a free-loader or can we expect him to drop to infantile in the name of redemption and eternal love??
  • But he is HONEST hope . He has asked Pratigya some very valid questions . She expects him to work ..........he asked
    1] WHAT work ? I am Uneducated ! [ A fact that HASN"T STRUCK her .}
    2] Shud I DIG on the ROADS ? WHY , when my Father has enough money to give me a comfortable standard of living and has never hesitated to share his wealth with me ? [ A point there .Makes no sense does it ?}
    3] Whats ur BLOODY PROBLEM ? Why r u constantly making ISSUES ? I dont have a problem , neither do my parents in giving me the wealth ........Whats YOURS ?
    I didnt find his questions wrong at all . He likes the good life and he is getting it , so why not ? Why shud everyone make some god forsaken PRINCIPLES their goal of life and purposefully live a life of stress ? Surely this is a free country and surely everyone has the right to decide how they wanna live it ? Krishna is not even pretending to be someone he ISN"T . What did Pratigya expect when she married her STALKER ? That he wud dig on roadsides for her and come in the evenings to give her some twenty rupee old notes showing peeled palms of his hands while she fried pakodas in chiffon saris ?
    The Truth is Pratigya tries to dominate EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY . If Adarsh chooses to have his own goals , its HIS LIFE .I hope he slaps Pratigya when she tries to judge him , a thing that Krishna cant do .THEN i wanna see WHICH house she goes running to with the PROFESSOR . Kools I agree with whatever you have to say about Krishna. He is a honest good character and Arhaan is a talented actor but this potential is being put to waste. Modelling in hawaian shirts? could they not come up with something more resourceful like real estate brokerage or something that requires a network and sales expertise more than formal education?

    Olla Hope 🤗 nice to see u start a post

    '''.seemingly the CVs favourite place.

    I have been off Pratigya since a month glad I'm not the only one or so and relying solely on updates and yet all I have noted is: Honey I am waiting for u in the M forum. Have u started watching it

    Arushi ran away and married ' 2/3 weeks later - she is back

    - impact on plot progression and character development A BIG FAT ZERO

    Kesar ran away while pregnant' 2/3 weeks later - she is back

    - impact on plot progression and character development A BIG FAT ZERO

    Ghanti Dadi remained passive and mute on crucial family issues, she finally spoke up - ' 2/3 weeks later ' she's almost back to being mute and ineffective on crucial family issues again

    - impact on plot progression and character development A BIG FAT ZERO

    Thakur and Thakurain tried to eliminate Pratigya a hundred different ways ' several weeks later ' she is still un-eliminated and as ineffectual as ever.

    - impact on plot progression and character development A BIG FAT ZERO#

    For me the drama overall a BIG FAT ZERO

    The only constant progressions seems to be in the following areas:

    • The brain drain in the CV's group (seems like the true CVs have gone on holiday and scriptwriting has been left to interns, chaiwalas and fashion designers. Unfotunately we can't even watch it during sipping our chais as one is bound to fall asleep while watching it In the early days of the show, the CVs would attempt to position the wrongdoings of the principled family in a grey light so some intelligent debate was possible, now the principled family leads blatant wrongdoings in broad daylight with no possibility of grey area to reason or debate The effect of the Thakurs is rubbing off on the Sucksenas and the audience is expected to pardon them their near criminal behaviour in recognition of their involvement in academia???)
    • The unkempt and ill-maintained persona of everyone's favourite Krishna (which professional photo studio in their right mind would decide to do a photoshoot of a man with a steadily increasing midriff, overgrown out-of-shape hairstyle and woodsman-like facial groW*H even in Allahabad is beyond me??) 🤣 This para really cracked me up.
    • The persistent and still ineffectual public speaking skills of Pratigya How dare you say it is ineffectual. The effect is I have stopped watching it 😆
    • The ever-updated wardrobe of the prominent characters in the show
    • The ever-diminishing presence of literary thinkers in the show's core audience

    As a once ardent viewer of the show I must say:

    • The Krishna-Pratigya marriage track is DISMAL (Nostalgia for old days of conflict is preferable to this stagnant scenario)
    • The Krishna development and financial independence track is ABYSMAL (my one time favourite has gone from being a street smart mature go-getter to a desperately whipped lover to an almost imbecilic recalcitrant married teenage son of the Thakurs)
    • The Kesar Saga is HORRIFYINGLY CRUEL even for TRP's sake (if you are going to kill the woman then do so - don't make her have multiple near-violent-death experiences ' its abusive to viewers)
    • The SS Election Track has EVAPORATED on the back burner it was placed on (If any reputable politician ran a perpetual campaign with zero visibility and constant obvious criminal gaffes like SS has they would be bankrupt and in prison by now. I bet you almost 90% of the voters will not recognize his name on the ballot just like almost everyone in Allabhad these days seems to never have heard of the once powerful Prince of Allahabad, Krishna)

    So what other BIG FAT ZERO moments do we have to look forward to?:

    • Shakti getting released and going scot free??
    • Kesar delivering the baby at TN and submitting herself to further inhumanity??
    • SS and Amma preserving as Indian psychos??
    • Krishna remaining imbecilic and a free-loader or can we expect him to drop to infantile in the name of redemption and eternal love??
    • Pratigya and the Saxenas continuing to wear the Sachaai ki murat tiaras with pride and a sense of entitlement while committing blatant (though well meaning) gaffes, misdemeanours and crimes??
    • Ghanti Dadi realizing that her ghanti was more effective than her voice in being noticed in the TN and taking on another moun vrat to preserve her own sanity and save some breaths and heartbeats so she can live longer to maintain the One Woman Thakur Band?

    Hmmmmmm'''.

    Hope



    It was good to read your post Hope.

    At least we can count on the Sax to come up with new reasons to be miserable! - why don't the cvs give them a real reason to be troubled. I would love to see the neighbours taunt Arushi for her poor marital choices. Seems wrong that only Kesar and Shakti have had to pay for her mistakes

    I also would not be too disappointed if dadi sax took on a vow of silence
