Dear CV's,
First and foremost if you have a dillusion that Kriya are the best Jodi.. then I'd hate to burst the bubble...
Because they are not seen as the best couple by the entire viewing audience and only by a limited handful. I'm not stating this out of my own POV - But through statistics.
PROOF http://www.loudtronix.me/listenYT.php?name=The%20Top%2020%20Most%20Hottest%20Jodis%20Of%20Hindi%20Serials%20%28All-Time%20Favourites%20Included!!%29&show=true&url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn_byfBZSd0
Out of the top 20 jodi's they came in at 14 only.
I've seen Kriya's performance - when at their best with good scripting and If I was to base my personal POV, then I'd certainly rate them in the top 10.
So this shows that somewhere Kriya have been let down, why? Maybe bec of the pressure you are under of showing Kriya when it may not be a neccessity in the script. To build the quantity you are loosing the quality.
There have been many a times when cute Kriya scenes were a neccessity in the show. (Uff that confession surrender scene - Mindblowing!, The needle prick scene morning after the consumation, The SR epi itself. The hug scene in the bedroom after the Kriya reunion and party scene in July last year). Where it has been necessary the acting has been 9-10/10.
But sometimes you place a Kriya scene into an epi as a dummy/soother for their fans just to keep them happy. These scenes are a embarrassment to watch - infact they make me cringe. Not only are they rushed but seem childish and unfitting with a couple who have been married for several years and should be at a comfort level with each other.
Example and reason -:
1) Krishna lying in Pratigya's lap and her constant attempt to get away.
For crying out loud the couple danced under a gungat together on Krishna's birthday infront of all the same people. Why does Pratigya do such Kolaveri di, when her husband gets naughty with her... she gets all shy in the bedroom and infront of everyone aswell. I mean I know they say laaj and sharam - ladki ka gena and all that but then she should wear a pallu over her head if she's that sharmili.. Don't You think?
2) Krishna desperately calling for Pratigya at the foot of the kitchen doorway, Blabbering "Babu, babu, humka, humka, babu babu.." And his Babu didn't even look up at him 😕. This is the same Krishna that once upon a time to woo his Pratigya used to go and help pour water in her atta confidently... is now raoming outside the kitchen for her attention.
Then the comment at Kesar "Baujai you cannot give me what I want". So cheap!
Then the bedroom scene.. again Krishna blabbering, and P not interested and more childish stuff. I'm sure 99% of the audience fell asleep 😲 before they saw the hug scene. But even then they didn't miss much. The kiss on the forhead - Oh Puhleez! I expect those kisses given to Samar from the whole family, GD to SS, Amma to Krishna. Okay am not expecting you to show a peck in the neck - which would have been better but at least don't show a mummy waali kiss. Again this was rushed by the actress Bec the actors looked unrehearsed for those scenes... (I couldn't see a Kriya in them - all I saw were uncomfortable feeling Arhaan and Pooja), It was almost like that scene was forced onto them.
There are many other scenes as such - phir kabbo discuss kareingey.
Falling in Love - doesn't mean a fall in your personality which has happened with Krishna, The blabbering and childishness is way too much..
Pratigya doing the mothering acts after which really takes the R away from the romance.
I love moments when - their expressions speak... The scene of holding hands looking lost into each other eyes as they were once after they'd seen childrens bangles, Their second marriage where they were making a commitment to each other and their eyes were reciting the wedding vows to each other secretly. The times when Pratigya flirts with Krishna, When Krishna hides and places his face in her hair and whispers in her ears... These were some classic romantic moments.
TANSHI,
Well if you ignore the handful of your audience and concentrate on the storyline here I'm cetain the majority of your actual audience will Thank you.
If you created a women empowerment show then you have certainly done well in creating TANSHI. Let me first state my POV, The actors are doing a remarkable job and I like their comfort level too, whether they are romantic with each other or whether they are in a scene ripping each other's heads off. Arushi is a young girl many can relate too - bec she more realistic and has no double standards.
Through Arushi - you have really shown the hardships of a woman in a second marriage where she is stuck in a marriage with a greedy husband. A husband that shows he is a huge favour in her life, and keeps hitting at her self confidence and dignity. A young working woman...
You can extend her characters depth by giving her more onscreen time and deliever a message for many woman out there . There are so many positives for this character:
1) Despite her husbands wishes she is making a stand by working - BECAUSE she needs to, she doesn't have an option and is being sensible in doing what she needs to do.
2)Through her you can show harrassment at work by collegues, boss etc. These are things that do happen in the world so why not include that in the show aswell.
3) Jelousy from collegues, creating a difficult working environment.
4) A longing for a child, but her emotional breakdown bec she cannot have a child with Tanmay due to his attitude.
5) Her marriage problem...
Arushi's character is one that has full scope.. I hope you utilise it well in MKAP here on.
There are plenty of people I know - In a second marriage they are unhappy but cannot get out of it, because their husbands have made it such a way that they have lost confidence. Their husbands think they can get away with murder because their wives can't do anything... and they even go to an extent of physically abusing and harrassing the females of her family.
There are many Arushi's in the world then there are Pratigya's...
I'm sure many ppl will relate to her and already are relating to her.
Shakti - He is a total Mean-Red 🤪 or at least he was. It was his own insecurity and envy upon the confident Krishna that brought his downfall.
Realistically a Mean-Red 🤪 like him should never have been forgiven for the evil heart he had.
But at least seeing him get Joothey's gave the audience a coolness to their eyes.
And Sajan taught him a lesson that no one else can - To beat a Villain - You have to be a better Villain.
Komaash - Another couple - who have always been overshadowed.
The whole cheating and reunion was so flat - or was it just a filler?
Here we go CV's That's all from me for now.
I hope as you have always listened to my requests in the past - you will do so this time aswell.
As you can see - I don't criticise for the sake of it, I backed it up also.
Cari.. xx
