But I really liked both the ramayan's made by sagar in recent times.
As I mentioned, writing, direction and presentation plays a part.
So gurmeet wins hands down.
If skr would have been produced by sagar, then ashish would've beat gurmeet and gagan.
But I really don't like nikhil sinha's pseudo-feminist interpretations that are damaging to the essence of the real text.
Ramayana in sita's perspective?
Oh yes. But definitely not the way nikhil and star plus showed us.
There are thousands of complaints regarding that show.
Everything , every reinterpretation was stupid in that show.
Oh sita. She was even worse than debina.
Neha of zee tv is my choice.
Ravana, yes akhilendra mishra did a good job and I think he came nearer to the Dd version
And finally somebody talked about kritika. She's my actual pet peeve of this show apart from the villains.
But the other posts dekho, just gaurav and gaurav.
But yeah, hinz pointed out a point. Gaurav is ott coz director wanted him to.
That's it. The screenplay, direction, presentation is BAD.
I think that's why he's acting so weirdly.
About rajat in tere liye, all ekta's shows are mass produced and badly directed.
So definitely he would look like an eyesore automatically.
And talking about Kavin, I liked him in the initial episodes.
Well, cid was always about daya,abhijeet and acp.
First it was acp, and abhijeet was his assistant. Daya played a non-speaking role as I had seen in few of the 1998 episodes.
But with his charm, he rose to be the most famed cid officer , renowned for breaking the door.
The show revolves around the trio, and other actors have to make do with whatever screen time they get.
That's why the show has a high attrition rate.
But there ARE actors who rocked whatever screen time they got WITHOUT compromising the trio's screenspace like inspector rajat, inspector vineet, inspector asha, inspector shreya,inspector vivek, inspector muskaan and many more.
They made an indelible mark even in the short tenure but fans still hopes for their return/cherish their times in cid.
I know you people are gaurav's fans but sorry to say, cid is so about the trio.
Ask any hardcore cid fan.
And in inspector kavin's heyday, I and my other cid schoolfriends used to be distraught why the trio is not getting screen time. Acp,who used to be the boss, was missing in MANY episodes, there were no daya-abhijeet's scenes and even they used to get very little individual screen time.
Many fans were worried. So kavin got targeted. Unarguably, he used to have the largest screen time in some episodes.
Not to mention gaurav had a very ott and filmy style of acting. Well, script and direction plays a part, but there are officers like Rajat and vineet who justified every moment of their screen time with their strong yet sublime acting. Their acting used to make us think that they ARE real cops. Do you how many times the actors has been mistaken as real cops?
But kavin's the first guy I think a load of cid fans rejected.
Well, his entry coincided with the beginning of the more outlandish and fantastical approach to the show.
But, even the other guy, dushyant more acceptance in community than him.
Now, my friends told me Kavin is a nuisance who can damage the reputation of the show.
Now , I want to be neutral, so I watched some of his earlier works.
Well, he's one of the better guys out in indian tv, but he definitely needs acting classes .
Overall, I think he needs to stick to cute boy roles.
Gaurav is better than many of the other cute boys.
PS: I'm a kavin fan coz I thought he is cute.
But it's good he's gone. Coz cid will always be the trio's show.
His role was reduced due to fan feedback and it's very good he's getting to do leads in other shows.
