and Abhay is not suppose to be edward. damon, stefan....etc...he is supposed to be Abhay....a 'good spoiled ' i dont give a damn' hunk' with a bleeding scar deep inside...and vivian is fair with showing it...and will hopefully get better real sooni am linking the refreshing environment and diffrent lovestory from the typical current ones on TV....so i gave it a chance and now am fully enjoying it:)...so will u if u stop comparing in ur mind....and if not dear...then will talk abt suoeing this one whenever all the other ones which are on the lost of copyright ,worldwide ....got sued:)no offnece...and sorry for beeing harsh...but i have seen like 3-4 more topics on this last weeks....so i just had to say something.
Getting inspired is different then copying word to word...I mean in many of last weeks episodes the dialogues were a total copy of Twilight...and then the stopping the car scene and now this Methli character that looks exactly like Pia...that is totally from Vampire Diaries. I have no problem with using other people's ideas to get inspired and create something of your own but till now I think more then half of the episodes could use some citations to Meyer and Smith.
I agree that this is concept is new for Indian telly but if the creators and actors are not gonna give a 100% then whats the point..I personally would rather watch the same old sas bahu story if the acting and direction is great then some new concept with no beginning and end and no sense of imagination.
And I know that there are more copyright works out there then original but I am just talking abt this show for now...Its no big deal that Ekta is borrowing this concept but thats all this should be...a concept and not the whole bloddy word to word copy. The show is still in its starting phase and I really hope that Ekta does use her own imagination for rest of the story.
