I just wanted to express many things about the way these sorts of Novella things are driving me crazy. First of all, i'm a British born lad, living in New Zealand now, and I got into watching KZK as you call it becasue of my mum. The only reason KZK survives, and any other stupid serial in the star plus or indian world is the stupid excessive use of cliffhangers, WHICH we don't need literally every 5 minutes.
I'd like to raise some issues here.
First: Ekta. Ekta, my DEAR lady, please learn to write. All you can do is repeat the same old stories with minor adjustments to make it seem different but in fact it's not, and seriously, it's sickening and horrible. You need to learn how to write, because the themes that you [ekta] are trying to express, are already done, and you're just regurgitating what's already done, plenty of times.
Second of all, is there any decent director in the world of indian novellas, at all? I mean, do we REALLY need to have shots on every single blimming person in moment of shock or surprise, with added huge distorted sound effects "bang boom swish swoosh", and it seems that sometimes they discover new effects, resulting in over excessive amounts of use in the bloody serials which just drives me nuts. Also, they can't even manage audio properly! Everytime somebody isn't talking, EVERYTHING is muted, and stupid music which is repeated 100 times or so fills that. And when it is time for a character to speak, then suddenly the voice is unmuted, and you begin hearing all sorts of background noise - apsolutely pathetic.
What else can I rant on about? hmm... Oh yes, the stupid repeating of the previous episode. Like that latest one of KZK as someone already began talking about. Why the hell do we need to see 3/4 of the previous show? INDIAN WORLD, GET INTO THE WESTERN WORLD PLEASE! Stop thinking about schedules and run the story WITHOUT stupid 15 minute re-run (Which we can already get). They only survive becasue of the stupid cliffhangers which, quite frankly, get VERY annoying after a while. Good luck, Ekta, if you ever get any roles to write the screenplay of a film - which i highly doubt. You could just imagine boring cliche ideas popping up every where, accompanied by bashes and swishes and amazing new moves with the camera, distored sounds effects, the same stupdi soundtrack playing over and over again, bad editing, too much rain, too much wind, too much unecessary shots - get to the point people. No one can create proper suspense like this, this is just bull. Why doesn't anyone take ideas from the western world? Better constructed, less cliffhangers, don't just run on schedule, are not typical indian/paki stuff [no offence] etc. I can go on forever, and it's not just KSK i'm talking about.
Sigh, sorry guys i had to get that off my chest, let you people know from a western point of view.
OH! before i forget, WHY THE HELL does star plus not chane it's bloody adverts?!?!? all we see all day is the same things coming on and on and on and on. I don't watch it all day of course, i'd be stupid to in fact. but whenevr i come on, there's the little kiddi one going "chour chouri ahahahahahah" stupid same repeats, over and over and over and over again! Get better at advertising. AND GET BETTER SOUND ENGINEEERS WHO KNOW HOW TO NORMALIZE VOLUME SO SUDDENLY EVERYTHING DOESN'T GET LOUD (e.g. the K Street Pali Hill advert) get original!
The only good thing about anything is the actors/actresesses, and the only good one are that prerna tbh. Other ones over exaggerate, and don't know how to act. Romilla's funny.
Anyway, it's nice to meet you guys, hopefully i'll get too know more of you :)
I'm Asad btw.
