Ever since we got news of the leap, there has been only one thing playing on my mind. That the CV's behind this show are reneging on their promise to deliver something different, something unique. Something that doesn't deal with the usual run-of-the-mill issues and ideas.
This leap is just the Cv's way of taking the easy route, because they feel they can't do anymore at this point. But I don't think the story has reached stagnation. It is merely the lack of vision on the part of CV's and their inability to think outside the box. When all else fails, just fall back on the usual tripe right?
This show can still move forward without a leap. Where is there a need for a leap at all at this stage? There are no children on this show as yet, so it isn't as if we need to fast forward into the future to see them in adulthood. A leap at that point would make sense at least. If a central character was shown to have left and gone off somewhere, then a leap into the future to see their return and a new story involving them would make sense.
So where is the need for a leap? There are plenty of ideas that can be used to carry the story forward and create drama with out a leap and the introduction of one more negative character.
IDEA ONE
Send Veena back to college. As money isn't an issue any more, why can't she go back and finish her studies? Perhaps while at college she can meet a guy. A nice guy. But scarred by her exeperience with Prakash she reject all his attempts to woo her. This can cause her all kinds of worries and anxieties which could manifest itself in her untoward behaviour at home. Bharti and Murli can delve into the matter and help her overcome her fears and move on in life. Perhaps we can see an angry Murli, under the misunderstanding that the guy is harrassing his sister, going to confront him. But ths guy convinces him that he is very serious about Veena and wants to marry her. Veena should be allowed to continue studying after marriage.
IDEA TWO
Sometime back, Mridang wanted to start his own business. Why can't he still do that? While there may not be a need a need for work anymore as they are all living the life of Riley on Baba Chauhan's money!, perhaps he can decide to take responsibility now that he is about to become a father. It's not just about earning money, but about doing something worthwhile in life. Perhaps he can go into business with people who's intentions it is to double cross him. That will create enough drama in itself!
IDEA THREE
Murli was so passionate about studying, and the family's endeavours to achieve that had caused so many problems before. But now that money isn't a problem anymore, Murli should go back and finish his studies.
IDEA FOUR
The NRI's with whom Murli recently closed a deal regarding Bharti Sweets, could attempt to take over the business completely. Perhaps we can see BharLi fighting this meregers and aquisitions battle. If not the NRI's why not have Parmeshwar instead?
IDEA FIVE
Can't we see a track involving Dhumroo? The JhumRoo marriage track wasn't all that riveting anyway in my opinion. Dhumroo is socially naive, and quite often ends up putting his foot in it without meaning to. Can we not see maybe, Dhumroo having a bad experience outside, perhaps at the hands of goons? This frightens him so much and causes him such anxiety that it creates a psychological problem. Paranoid schizophrenia?
I know someone to whom this happened. They already suffered from a learning disability as it is. They started developing obsessive compulsive disorder too, and spent a lot of time cosntantly washing their hands, even if they were really clean! They tried to run away from the house on numerous occasions, at one point even stuffing some clothes and other obscure items into a bucket (yes bucket, not basket) and headed off to the train station. The family was out of it's mind for that entire time he was ill. It got so bad, he had to be hospitalised and admitted to the psychiatric ward. Sometimes families can't cope with people like this and so from an early age will just put them into care. This family didn't. They went out of their way to give him as normal and fulfilled a life as possible. So you can imagine the night they left him in that word with people who were severly psychotic, how distressed they were. The mother was completely beside herself with grief, and the elder brother was heartbroken. Over weeks he got better and after a few months was well enough to go home.
Could we not see something similar with Dhumroo? I don't want anything to happen to him permanently, but after what Gau's mum said today about what she did at Gau's wedding, I think it's an experience that can be used now to create a plot. Repressed memories etc?
Off course, Bharti's complcated pregnancy is something the CV's are going to show anyway. And that in itself is a huge issue and gives them more than enough to work with for a while.
OK, these ideas aren't great, but at least a combination of them can carry the story forward without a leap.
And I don't understand why we have to have the entry of Gau's mother as a negative character? It's fine for her to come for her daughters wedding, but why does she have to take up residence in the Lal house? Which mother in real life would plonk herself in her daughters sasuraal indefinitely like that? It was ridiculous when Dhara was dragged there, but atleats she had the good sense to go back to her vilage after a few days.
If another negative character is to stay at the Lal Dharamshala, then what was the need to get rid of Murari? Atleast, as Bansi's brother it made more sense to have him in the house. But what rights does Gau's mum have to take up residence at her daughters sasuraal?
Now I'm not bothered about Gau in any way. But the idea that she will revert back to her scheming ways doesn't appeal to me. It's the same old trick used by other shows. It shows a lack of creativity and as viewer the whole sister-in-laws rivalry nonsense is just damn boring. When you've seen it once, you've seen it a hundred times!
When Bharti has effectively given half the share of everything to them, what is the need to go back to that same old story again?
If they have shown her as turning over a new leaf, why not just leave her like that? For once it would be nice to see someone become good and stay good! Let's see Gau keep her promise to look out for Bharti. For no other reason than that I can't watch another show with the same old geesa peeta crap!
