ksh..... had a lot to get off my chest so did a long post on the forum....
the dotw is very apt since many of us are currently smarting from Mishal's exit.. I sincerly feel the ltl team have lost the plot.....
noyhing can make me watch this show again ,yes I am jaded in my outlook but that's the way Iam.... to me only he mattered nothing else no one else.. I have no faith in the story, In fact the way the track is running, I object especially to the manner in which children are being portrayed for Iam being influenced by where I live, the issues of neglect, child protection,truancy are hot potatoes in uk. Please forgive me If I sound like a wog, believe me Iam not.... This show is also show here I would hate to think that people perecive that all poor lads in depraved areas of India go around handling bottles of booze without batting an eye lid........ so yes the current LTL team is indeed without merit for me...... they don't know where they are heading...I would'ent want to know either....Please do not leave the forum we need each other in these hard times xxxx ham

Absolutely agree with the bold nd underlined part. They have no qualms in showing children uttering sentences with double meaning nd colors pride itself on highlighting social issues, what irony when they r themselves callously promoting things otherwise. Silly me! expecting standards frm Colors.

I blame Mishal. Countless fans all over started watching the show because of him. And the writers are to blame too, for making this character iconic! I mean, I've never gone into such a frenzy over any other literary or screen character. His role is the most powerful one I've seen on an Indian or international show. If they were planning to do away with the character in such a shoddy manner, they should never have made it legendary!
It's not just the character and writing, it is the actor too! Mishal is to blame because whenever he was on screen, I'd completely forget about the others. His screen presence was that powerful! Ksh, you said that we learnt to love Dutta because we saw him through Naku's eyes. For me, it was the other way round. I dunno if I'm prejudiced, but Naku was just another character for me, till I noticed their interactions. That is when I learnt that this character was Dutta's salvation. Oh boy, I fell in love with her because of the way she loved her Saab!
As for the other characters....well..Kala is the only other character that has intrigued me, and her character has lost all charm(for me) now that Dutta is out of the picture.
I don't know if I'm being unfair here, but the show has lost all credibility because they've destroyed the bedrock. And for a viewer, that matters. That is the only thing that should matter. I started watching it for Dutta, and I stopped watching, because as far as i'm concerned the show ended on March 25th, somewhere around 8.45. 😊

Devil's advocate Ksh? Wonderful Post, and no please let this not be your last one, I personally love reading your insight on the going-on's if not here, in Vintage LTL please :)
Coming back to the topic :)
Story telling is a complex process and the I have to give this credit to the LTL writing team for coming up with such an unconventional plot and an equally unconventional set of characters. What clicked in my mind is the strong characterization of the protagonists:
Naku - almost an earthy blend of Jane Eyre and Liz (Pride and Prejudice) with a strong sense of self belief and belief in God.
Dutta - complete antagonist in the sense, bruised in love, and anti-hero to a large extent.
Pitting them together? Who would have thought that? Add the soot element to it, and it seems even more improbable...but they did it and they did it well. So full marks to the creative team there.

Where it starts falling apart is, when these characters dont remain true to what they were defined to be. I think in making the Dutta the focal point of the show, Naku's character development was sidelined a bit, and they would have done better taking that route and showing how Dutta helps sort out her demons, as opposed to introducing a whole new character to supposedly "help" her.

The other mistake (which I have no complaints about) is centralizing Dutta's character so much, and the actor MR playing it to the hilt, that the audience now craves for him - they cant imagine Naku without him, and I firmly believe, they could have woven many different tracks with them together.

So finally, channel politics, back stories aside, the LTL creative team has faltered in not being able to retain the orignal intent of the show at various levels, starting with giving Dutta so much prominence that nothing can go on without him - eliminate him now and the show will see its downfall.

Hi..very interesting discussion topic. Dutta is the only character atleast for me who made me in love with LTL and watched it and follow it religiously. For me this not only the matter of merit of other LTL members but, it is the matter of butchring so brutely an awesome love story. Another thing is, that in almost every love story, novel, film, drama etc most probably the storty revovled around the main lead as in LTL ... Baji is dutta's best friend from his childhood and his right hand in his work, AS is Dutta's mother who doesnot wish and pray any thing but his long life, his happiness, Leela, Roops, Kishore, Suds all are dependent on Dutta and his character from the date Patils entered in the show and last but not the least Kala whose aim in life is only to hate and destroy Datta, with all her strong character as main antagosnist and great acting skills of AG what would be the role of Kala after Dutta, so i am just trying to say that all these supposrting caharacters are very good and iteresting and actors who are playing these roles are awesome but what would be their part in LTL if there would be no Dutta beside searching, praying and crying for him. Finally the character of Dutta who is creat by the LTL and Colors CVs was larger than life even i think that the CVs themselves didnt know that what they creat. i am engaged with Indian daily soaps almost for 10 years from kyun Ekta's KSBKBT, KGGK, Ksusum, Kukkum, KZK etc, after my marriage 7 years back i came US from Pakistan and with new life i discountinued watchig Telly Shows but remained intouched with the soap, my mother watches so mny serial like, Paratigaya, SGP, SNS, YRKKH, LTL, Hamari dewerani, tere mere sapne etc so i know the stories and leads of these shows. i personally watch GKD and LTL, MY mother and I are sure and discussed so may time that till then after so many serials we didnt see a character like DUTTA. and Mishal what can say about this telented gem...he gave a soul to dutta..His dialogue elivery, facial expession, eyes, body language are par excellence i dont to discuss here the acting skills and personallity of Mishal here bec it will become very long and out of topic. But if Dutta remain in show with another face it will also unexceptable for me bec we as a viewers make a icture of a character in their mind,..Mishal is exceptional no one can take his seat but i can give my personal eg of many shows who i stopped watching after main laed replacemet wheather their character or actor, weather thy are male, or female, protagonist or even antagonist. PS said on this forum that we LTL forum members are few in numbers but i ell you that i joined IF on 21st Nov 2010. before then i didnt even know about IF but ' i quited many shows bec of these replacent foe eg. Kasam Se ( ZEE TV Ekta show) the day when character of Bani (female protagonist replaced) with another face, i quited the show, same as ghar ek sapna (Sahara One show) they also replace the the actor for female lead, i lost interest in KSBKBT, KGGK, KZK after replavemt of, Mandira, Pallawi and Anurag Basu. In kaajal (sonny show) and BMTD ( Zee Tv ) their CVs showed Antagonist win and lead pair died and replace their characters in Kajal they replace their characters with reencarneted differet pair of lead and in BMTD they replaced old lead pair wit new reencarnted lead pair with same actors but i didnt show thses shows ateres these changes. LTL was not an ordinary show, it remained hold its position of top 5 in TAM/TRP rating, so the PH and CV cant play with the popularity and success of show. writers also can't do any thing when lead diappeared all of sudden like in LTL. All due to bad creativity of Dutta/MR exit all LTL current team are going to suffer, Bec it is a fact that weather how much are the supporting cast strong and talented at the end they are supporting characters of story which is revolving around lead pair,
