I am so pissed that this show got butchered in the worst way possible that even though it is on-air I just can't make myself to watch it anymore. For any other show, I would have quit not to ever watch it again, but I just can't give up on RishBala. So, I started thinking, where and how the show got butchered?š¤ So here is my opinion.
Okay, an anti-hero, a grey shaded character, a sort of antagonist for a protagonist is always a wonderful idea. And the CV's nailed this theory when they wrote RK.. š But what were they thinking when they wrote Sultan? Or the better question will be, were they even thinking? šThe way I see it, they wanted to introduce an arch-enemy for RK, an "antagonist" who is actually anti-RK. Okay good idea. šš¼ They should have introduced a character which is as powerful as RK, I know it is difficult but still, if they are bringing in someone to stand against RK, he should be at least of his standard so when the face-off happens, it can become epic.š
But man did the CV's disappoint me!š„ŗ They tried to show an antagonist who is "supposedly a protagonist by nature".š But that could never work, especially the way he entered the show by killing off so many people, using his son as a bait and claiming to be Mumbai ka Sultan.š² If anything they should have portrayed him as a vigilante who never takes law in hand but helps it, kind of like a Bruce Wayne but with little resources and minus the costume that would have looked hilarious on bhai.š Anyways, the guy should definitely not have been a don (because when you say don, a very horrible kind of a person comes to mind who has done every crime in the book to get to that position). That's only if he were to be shown in a gangster kind of a role. I still don't get why CV's couldn't have made him a journalist, struggling actor, director or just about anything else.š So, they made him a don (which just makes it hard for me to sympathize or connect with him), who is supposed to be wanted, obviously, both by his enemies and the police but apparently none of them give a damn after he escapes from within their reach.š² No one comes looking for him. It's like after a certain time they lost interest in him. Kahan he used to be careful while eating something if in case it was poisoned, such was the threat of his enemies and kahan.. chalo choro.. But man, sometimes I think If that's what Mumbai ka Don is like, then Mumbai must be the safest place on face of planet earth these days, because apparantly there is noone to challenge bhai and bhai himself is not doing don-giri on anyone other than RK's servants and some poor bodyguards.š² Like seriously, Police force of 11 countries is supposed to look for a don, day and night, and is don ko pakarnay main toh gali ka chaukidaar bhi nhi interest leta..š²
So, in my opinion, it all began when a very wise man on the creatives team suggested to make a protagonist like antagonist out of an established mafia don. And then the clunk began.. š”
P.S. This is entirely my opinion, I am not forcing it on anyone nor I can, so I will understand if you do not agree with me. Sorry if I offended your viewpoint in anyway. Please Like the post if you like it and do comment. š
