INCOHERENT STORY-LINE

The story of "HD" has been fascinating to the audience since the beginning,sometimes for its connection with the real life,sometimes with the character Indira,with whom the audience can relate to,and most of the times with the eventual growth of love between Indira and Rishi;two different people,who meet their differences.But there is another fascinating thing about "HD" and that is the incoherence in the action of the story.In simple words,lets just say,the writer has never been able to relate one scene with the other,or justify the characteristics of the characters.For instance,Indira,this character has been portrayed as a wise,curios and sharp character;and more than once we've been shown how she minutely analyzes others' motif.But this very characteristic of Indira is being contradicted in the recent track of the story.Similarly,the characteristics of Rishi,i.e.,he is street-smart and witty;this has also been contradicted every now-and-then.

Taking the present track of the story we can come across many such situation,where Rishi has been made so naive,that he never takes Indira's utterance of the word 'death' seriously,even when she is asking him to marry again,even when she has been repeatedly saying that she has few days left with her.Whereas,the same character Rishi had been so smart that,he easily deceived Indira regarding her brother's connection with him;he had been so smart that,Rishi easily understood Indira's father's motif behind the deal of "SN",and many more.And when we come to the character Indira,she has always been projected as a curious person,who easily finds out the motif behind her sister's sudden outburst of love towards her,or her mother's unusual affection towards her;or that be Rishi's expression when he talks to her[for instance,when she says her brother Vidit that,sometimes she doesn't understand Rishi,as his eyes say something more than his words,etc.];or it be Rishi's expression when she had asked him to verify his identity,Indira read it right that Rishi was scared.Considering all these,I find a big contradiction being drawn in both Indira and Rishi's characteristics,especially in the present action of the story,where both have been shown to be so naive.Lets take one scene at a time:Indira,as she is ill,she has been looking pale,which Rishi never notices;she has been talking about death and that she does not have much time left,still Rishi never takes it seriously.On the other hand,Rishi,who had been furious at Indira for lying to him about her abortion[which he was made to believe],suddenly calms down,and becomes more caring:this doesn't come to Indira's attention,who knows him so well.Besides,Rishi has a bruise on his forehead,which is so visible even to us:Indira doesn't notice this either,or questions him;and as many of you have mentioned it that,Indira is also made to fail to recognize very clear details about the similarities between her dance partner and Rishi.Whereas Rishi had been so protective about Indira earlier,reading her mind so easily,reading her eyes,and finding out what she had been hiding;now he is made to overlook her signs and feelings.Similarly,Indira,who knows Rishi through and through,have been made to absolutely overlook his characteristics.

All I can say is that,there has been so much of disconnection in the events and the connection between the characters that it has made me feel that there is so much left unsaid,so many emotions left uncared for between Indira and Rishi;and so much more that could have been there.Whether its being done deliberately,or it is the lack of writing skill in the writer,is quite difficult to figure out,but one thing is for sure,that in between this incoherence in the story-line,the characters' flaw of emotion has been compromised;Rishi and Indira's subconscious connection has been detached;it seems like they don't know each other any more.

Well,this has been my analysis on the writer's lack of dramatic skill and its affect on the connection between the story and the audience.And in referring to Indira and Rishi's overshadowing of each others' characteristics,I've not raised my finger at either of the characters;my queries and questions are raised directly towards the writer.So I hope you'll will not misunderstand it to be a criticism on Indira and Rishi.Will be looking forward to your views.

Very well said arpitha 👏

You have very well put into words the very reason why we don't feel the connect and magic we used to feel for rishi and indira till holi episode. This incoherence in the story line has subconsciously squeezed out the magic of inshi from my mind.

I would say if i am still around to watch HD its just because of the nostalgia of inshi magic we had few months back, and hopelessly hoping that i might get a glimpse of that magic some where along the story in future.

This is why this show will flounder while other shows move from strength to strength. I'm not implying that there's plenty of quality stuff out there on TV, but this show's decline has been the quickest I have seen. All shows go through a bad patch and sometimes even manage a comeback. Even when they have very little to work with. This show has potential in terms of concept and talent, but the writers do not know what to do with their characters and situations. Many times, the actors are left to salvage a bad scene. But they cannot pull off a rescue act every single time.

Let's see how this leap and remarriage affects the show.

Edit: Thanks for this post 😊

HD had the most wonderful concept and 2 very strong contrasting characters which could have created magic if developed slowly , emotionally but alas for the sake of introducing so called entertainment and a new track per week concept that HD team is very proud to have , they killed the soul of the story of the hard and non smiliing indira and rishi who brings a smile back in her life...
very very nice post👏
