Rantara Zindabaad, Sattya Murdabaad!! - Page 2

I did not watch the whole episode, as even the electricity couldn't take Sattu's face and went off on me, when he was beginning to read that stupid letter of his. But I watched what matters... Antara calling Sattu Jethji was music to my ears... And Rantara's last mulakat before marriage. That scene made me want to cry, the way they talked about their past meetings, and how Raghu said he has given so much trouble to her and her family and that he would pay back in terms of love.

Another thing, Aman is blackmailed to tell the truth and he has to do it for his family. And I guess he'll tell Antara only half the truth, and the fact that Raghu actually had no idea of what that box contained, will be hidden from Antara. How Antara gets the letter now, is what we have yet to see. Because if she reads the letter, she must know that Raghu was also cheated by someone who he thought was his friend.

I might also not be very regular here for a short while, I think.

@Dreamygal, enjoyed reading your post. Raghu will become weak after Antu leaves him but he will become stronger and yes DM better beware, he is going to turn against her for sure. Even I would like Ruksana to be a friend to him when he is alone, I really hope the Cv's don't turn her into a negative character for TRP sake. We already have enough negative shades in this show. And actually no use predicting DDEJ, they give some twists or other which in one way is good but like you said it would be good if they have a proper story structure but I think Indian TV shows are almost like this. Until this concept of TRP is there, they need to keep on changing something according to the numbers, I have always felt it is a rat race which never ends.

Jyo, very good post. Today"s episode is a built up of the next big track to come. So Aman was blackmailed into telling Antu, no wonder she knows only the half truth. Now atleast we know why DM kept Aman alive, we all had doubts on it. As per the spoilers Raghu tells her the truth before the wedding, so now we have to see how it goes but whatever it is, looks like the "The Day" is tomorrow. Felt very sad seeing their last romance at the balcony and hope Antu remembers what Raghu said. His goal is now only to make Antu happy...give her so much happiness that she forgets her pain of the past. Whatever happens he is going to do that for her.

So Satya wants to tell the truth to Antu's mom & break the marriage. DM wants Aman to tell Antu and break the marriage. This mother-son duo doesn't have any other better work to do, I am waiting for the day when both of them have their hands on each other's throat. So looks like today was the last romance between the two innocent souls, from now somewhere or the other they are going to be scarred by this cruel world. But all we can say is though a tough journey they will emerge out as better people and their love will be stronger.

Hi Shiny,

Like you I don't want Ruksana to be negative because you said it, there is so many in DDEJ that Rantara are constantly tripping over them!😡😆

Seriously I like her character because I am impressed, that though she loves Raghu like they way Antu loves him, she still is a good friend to them both. That takes tremendous courage and shows she is also very decent. She understands that she could not help falling in love but she could control the way she goes on. I will seriously get upset if the writers then turn her negative!

I understand trps but a good show uses that to make their story stronger. Every story has a structure that needs to be followed and it has natural highs and lows. This structure originated during the ancient times (what we know as the 3 Act structure) and then Shakespeare took that and made it his own (the 4 Act structure). Every single story written or shows on TV follow some sort of structure but I often give up with Indian shows. Interestingly, I was watching another ZA show (SC) and have to say that story is very strong - the writers never deviate from the core story of two separated lovers, trying to find their way back to each other and for that I wish the writers of DDEJ would do the same. I've been increasingly concerned at the hasty editing and story telling lately. In desperation I trawled through the internet and watched some old episodes and the difference is vast.

The dialogue then was cracking, a live wire almost and the chemistry and attraction between Rantara was sizzling. Then it dropped, and in the last few weeks the story telling was all over the place with not very much logic in place. In my opinion the premarital scene was the worst. What was supposed to be so beautiful and advance the story felt gratuitous and hackneyed at best. I wished they had never shown that scene - it felt like something added at the last moment to take advantage of the mass hysteria that was created by the so called kiss! 😵

So going back to what I say, if the makers want strong trp they need to do serious surgery on their story. Starting with the current writer, the dialogues feel trite and flat without the former subtext or the brilliance.

Dm's story is a case in point for my argument about the current track.

This woman was supposed to be a fearsome Don, someone we saw Raghu respecting almost in a military fashion (going down on bended knee constantly) and then all of a sudden she is doing kitchen politics and Raghu confiding his deepest secret!

Raghu's character has been compromised because of one scene. Previously we saw a slightly different relationship and know almost a mother-son scenes?!! This is a tough guy; he grew up on her sufferance and knows how much he owes her and though she calls him a Son he knows he isn't hence his almost formality with her. If then you had told me he would spill his secrets to her I would have laughed. He is guarded and savvy when it came to reading people, we have seen enough scenes for that to be imprinted in our brains. However, with one scene, the writers completely overturned the impression I had formed based on their previous writing!

DM -well I stopped taking her seriously since the joke of a maha sangam. She could not even hire a proper killer (whoever heard of trying to attempt murder in a party via a knife thrower?😲)...so I completely stopped even thinking of her Don. The writers would have to do something massive to make me take her seriously, even believing in the fact she has links with terrorists!

(ok, I think you guys are getting my drift. I can't stand writing where it does not make sense with logical cause and effect.😃😃)😆
