Bewilderment and Disillusionment Rule The Day

As a viewer drawn to the story of Pratigya and more importantly one of the most unique characters ever seen on Indian saops, Krishna, today was a day of bewilderment and disllusionment at the portrayal of this unique and powerful character and the hiddent intent of the CVs

The Krishna that we all love and I had come to watch was unique because:

he was a strong, charismatic personality

a tough guy but not a thug - using influence only when clear motive was available but not seeking to intimidate or terrorize for the sheer pleasure of the kill.

a character who unlike stereotypical leads showed an engaging display and mix of brawn and brains in a very strategic manner - he used his brawns with people who were weak and susceptible and used his brains to achieve the same effect with people who were not easily intimidated by the threat or use of force.


SO WHAT HAPPENED TODAY -

July 16th epi - KRISHNA WAS SHOWN AS A WHINER TODAY😡😡 Check out Notes on Page 8!!!!!!
😡

Epi of July 15 - KRISHNA WAS SHOWN AS A RUN OF THE MILL STREET SIDE THUG TODAY😡😡

the scene between him and the lawyer did not make sense for the following reasons:

a) he asked the lawyer for water😕. he is not your average street side thug. Krishna would have asked the workers or the owner of the stall. So his reason for engaging the lawyer in itself was unreal and illogical.

b) him taking on the lawyer for a glass of water and using his father's name for $15 damage😕😕😕. have we ever known Krishna to use his father's name before in this manner. I maybe wrong but I have never heard him use his father's name to intimidate anyone. He understands the value of the association but relies on his own strength, wit and reputation to get results. If this was not the case then instead of the 'krishna, krishna, Krishna'music we would eb hearing 'SS ka beta, SS ka beta, SS ka beta'music, right.

c) he decides to punch the lawyer in the face for this silly incident 😕😕😕


I DON'T GET IT

Messing with krishna's character (i.e. lap dog, subservient husband, driver, etc) for the sake of the glorificaiton of the lead (Pratigya) is understandable and we as Krishna fans can even tolerate it and hope for some resolution in future but messing with Krishna's character in order to allow a supportign character to make an entry into the show is just being inconsiderate of the krishna fan base.



WHY ARE THE CREATIVES DOING THIS

Is it because

a) Arhaan's personality and acting and Krishna's charisma and appeal is considered so strong that the CVs feel that continuous and unncessary tamperment will not diminish it or impact its popularity

or


b) are we being conned like we were with the eve-teasign issue - which was never the crux of the show but just the appetizer to draw us in. Is Krishna's popularity now impacting the female lead's credibility and popularity in such a manner that the Krishna characte will gradually be phased out and replace with the lawyer character who was never intended to be the secondary character (as billed) but rather the successor for Pratigya's attention. is the plan to have a new best jodi available for SPA next year😕


Either way I look at it Krishna's involvement and interaction today was misaligned with the orginal character sketch and end of day either option presented above has only one consequence - KRISHNA FANS ARE BEING SHAFTED IN RETURN FOR THEIR LOYALTY AND PATRONAGE



Guys:

I started this post not to talk of plot of the day becasue honestly today was a wasted epi for this viewer and definitely not worth debating for its merits

I started this thread so CVs know that their sneaky tricks, their butchering of our beloved character and their deviation from realism in their storyline is not going unobserved.

we are
observing, disliking and now expressly noting
their inconsideration and goof ups.

I plan on ressurecting this thread whenever krishna's character is butchered in any epi and making note

that way both we and the CVs can see how many times Krishna's character is being butchered to glorify other characters.

Hope

Oh...Krishna has always used his father's name in every silly brawl he engaged in....I can quote so many instances....for one, go back to the movie scene where he forcefully tries to take Pratigya along(from where she succesfully escapes and runs away to protect Kesar from forceful abortion...)...There also he engages in a silly fight with the ticket collector guy and tries to show off which family he came from....

I did not watch the show recently so donno for sure what changes happened off late though....

But I agree....I didn't quite like the way they tried to totally make Arhaan look like a side character actor....They shouldn't have selected this actor to begin with, as he seemed to be totally overbearing even in terms of his physique....Arhaan gave his all to this show and its sad to see him getting belittle like this by a new comer....totally unfair IMHO....

Hope,

I had exactly the same thoughts when I saw the tussle between Krishna and Mathur. Why CVs brought these two together like this. They could have let Partigya - Adarsh find him and then Krishna's entry into the picture. This Guy have already formed an impression of Krishna, which of a spoiled goon. I wonder why.😒

aisaaaa kucho nahi hau yaar ,, chahe wo dus mundo ka laakar khada karde KRISHNA ke saamne , there is no one who can match up wd him , coz KRISHNA has his own charming personality , unique style jispe laakhon ladkiyan mar miti hai (i being one of dem) , bas wo lawyer ke saamne muh band reh ke khade hone se apna KRISHNA side character nahi hoi gawa , he is the main charm , the main USP of da show , uske bagair na yeh serial TOP pe aate aur nahi audience se itnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa pyaar paata , i salute the enitre pratigya team but this guy - ARHAANNNN is indeed da main showstopper! wich can never b replaced wd any guy 😃😃

athena:

I personally do not see him as over bearing because of his physique.

physique does not influence a character's presence and charisma in my mind, ATTITUDE does and Krishna (as enacted by Arhaan Behl) has enough attitude to continue to engage and draw viewers

it was the way their interaction was engineered. it was just not aligned.

the fight was over a non-issue. Krishna did not appear the weaker of the two because of the new guy's acting or physique in my mind but because his character was held back physically and figuratively during the entire enactment.

if it was just to make the entry more dramatic. fine. as a krishna fan will tolerate that too but if this is a trend that we are going to be seeing and more so an indication of plot to come, then I feel shafted.

Sam it is not just his impression but also it is the impression that viewers are being given.

dramatization and character potential harnessment or curtailment can make or break a character.


character reversal or modification when it applies to the story lead is not somethign to be ignored.

no doubt it was just a small epi today and it may appear that I am over dramatizign but in days to come we will see if I was overdramatizign or this is just the first step in larger campaign on the part of the CVs

will wait with great curiosity for your observation to see if I am being to premature in my protest or astute enough to call the Cvs on their hidden agenda

Hope...donno about you (may be even you, as otherwise you wouldn't be coming up with this post...) but what I saw was both Krishna the character as well as Arhaan the actor were completely overshadowed by the new guy's presence...the lawyer guy totally stole the show today with that one scene...I didn't say just physique can be overbearing, but everything else being the same, physique can make a HUGE difference...Krishna really looked stupid and lost, to say the least...😒
