I agree that she is sticking to the story, but a story loses flavor the minute you start using contrived methods to reach your ends. If this were a book, it would be on my throw pile by now. Again, if this were a book, it would have ended with a Nikah on the day after Eid. SR would have been a plot point to bring the leads closer and done more stylishly.
I will still watch it unless it gets really ridiculous. For me the Tanu SR was a bigger blow than this track as that one was totally unexpected. This one was always in the back of our minds
Agreed, ZoYaan was always what she was going to do and everyone knew about that. But are the story and the end result the only important thing? Is story telling not important?
You write amazingly well - so you can answer this. If you had shown endless scenes of the Cruise, without moving the story further. Would your readers continue to read? Would you continue to enjoy writing? If you had not brought in Siddique into Dilshaad's house when you did, would your story have progressed to where it is today? It would have, but it would be elongated, loosing the reader's interest, right?
Isn't it your duty as a story teller to understand the pulse of your audience and cater to the need of the hour? That is my gripe.
I don't know if it is Gul or Zee behind this recent track and the way it is being handled to time it with the BB7 premier. It could be either. In my only one past experience, the team was Ekta and Zee who in their arrogance ruined a perfectly good show. And then they ruined it further trying to undo the damage. So I have a feeling, this is not Gul's doing alone.
Ekta always had a huge ego and she had multiple times said in media interviews, that if you don't like what I show, change the channels. Well, a lot of her shows well pulled off one after another, because the audience did take her advice seriously. The channels took her words seriously. I know someone who interned with her story writing team around that time. I have a lot of inside juice on how things function in her writing department.
So that is my point. If you want to show something, have the guts to show it the way you planned it originally. First you waylay the story, lose focus and come up with illogical twists and turns and then you say that this was the original plan. I don't think all the viewers are idiots. I want to say that atleast 10% of viewership is intelligent/thinking audience. Small number, but still significant in the TRP race. Right?
