Look I don't say I wish to see ruin of Gauri to derive sadistic pleasure. I was talking in general about all negative and deviant characters. Realisation that you've been wrong - it must be shown. Wrong actions beget wrong results it must be shown! Punishment for really gross characters like the one in 10 PM show (the female one whose name starts from T😉) should be shown.
But the way they handle negative characters these days, it seems they are almost celebrating or glorifying them or trying to attract sympathy for them! So even when a character is reaping the fruits of his mistakes and wrong deeds, viewers are made to feel emotional about them.
It's almost like the movie Darr which claimed to be against stalking and terrorising girls. But ultimately they handled the psychotic stalker's character in such a way that they ended up glorifying him! The best songs of the film were given to him. Those songs were supposed to be about a boy's obsession and his perverted fantasies. But they made those songs sweet and made it look as if Juhi Chawla was always supposed to be with SRK! They made it as if his tormenting and harassing Juhi is out of helplessness and ''desperation''. Again making him a martyr or poor love-struck boy!Even when he is killed by Sunny Deol in end - the way they handled that sequence, showing SRK smiling at Juhi as if giving up the fight and giving up life because she hates him...they tried to evoke sympathy and made him look like he's made a big sacrifice!🤢
That is what is happening in serials these days! Even if they punish a character they tend to make him/her look innocent, wronged by the world, misunderstood and victim of fate!
He/she is shown like a poor,innocent person who was martyred ''just'' because he/she wanted things in a particular way!😲
Why induce sympathy by showing negative ones talking about things like ''love'' or ''sacrifice'', being sensible and sweet at times, or reminiscing about happy times with family/friends/lover or crying like a victim? Or justifying their acts in the name of love or welfare of family?
I can understand if characters like Amitabh Bachchan's characters in Agneepath or Deewar are justified, despite being anti-social. That is because he killed only those who wronged him. He was not killing innocents in the city or depriving them of their rights as he had been deprived in childhood. He was not hooking up with girls. Even if he had a relationship with a prostitute, he sought to marry her and give sanctity to his relationship with her when she got pregnant with his child. He did express before his death that he would give up all illegal works and hand himself over to the police.
In Agneepath he was a do-gooder. He was feared for his power. But he used to protect the poor.
So justifying such characters even despite their anti-social activities is kind of okay.
But why induce sympathy for characters like Tapasya? Or make someone like Gauri look right in what she is doing? Arrey yaar, she's just doing it out of love?!😲
I wonder why still no one has been shown to ask her in serial, why she ruined herself and brought herself back to square 1 all due to a slimy boy like Jagat?!
If such self introspection and realisation are shown then at least viewers are not led to believe that whatever she has been doing is correct and justified in the name of love?
Consider Akele Hum Akele Tum, in that film both Manisha and Aamir's characters undergo self introspection and are shown to regret their egoistic behaviour. It's not like they remained what they were to begin with, or only changed for the worse. But they changed for the better and realised their mistakes plus their duty towards their kid.
I want to see Gauri facing consequences of her mis-steps. I want to see her confronting her parents too and give her explanation of all things in childhood! I want her and Jagat's truth to be out in open in Mumbai and in Gauri's family also. And then have them face everyone, answer others. I want to see her answer her Bade Papa, her Bade Papa question her on what she made of his upbringing and mentoring!
But no! They either show her and J living in a bubble. And even if they show insecurity, not once do they show her regretting her actions or her lack of judgement! They've still not shown her thinking about what she end up doing to another girl's life in the name of love and buying J's lies!
It doesn't work if all actions are almost justified or explained in the name of love or childhood trauma! Show her getting therapy for the unresolved pain of that trauma. So that people see that trauma ought to be treated and not used as an excuse to ruin other's lives or break rules!
That's all I wanted to say. And I talked of negative ones in general. Not just Gauri. If there are no negative consequences, then how will people see what they've done is wrong?
