@ Krishna, me also watched the same scenes last night,
@ Aditi and all, I am also very concerned that Khanak is shown almost as an orphan. She has no connection to her family. It seems to stereotype her as a typical Indian wife who is completely absorbed into her husband's household that she no longer thinks about her parents or friends. Khanak mentions Dhulwadi a lot but who is in Dhulwadi? Why don't we even hear her say at the least, that she got a letter from her mom or she spoke to her on the phone? If a daughter widowed so young is married again to a man different from her in every way (too rich, urban educated, etc etc), wouldnt a mother be worried, whether her daughter is happy or not?
The Dhulwadi track has a lot of promise. But may be the channel knows better what works with the audience they are targetting. I personally feel that just having 4 or 5 young people in a room alone will not guarentee TRPs, not for long. There has to be drama, and RBO is very good at not going OTT and yet giving drama.
Rahul, as a character, does not intrigue me as of now. Esp after the slap. 'cos thats a plot we have seen in umpteen Hindi films.
Like Krishna said, they should have shown Khanak meeting Rahul. Hope they show that soon.
Rucha really did take the Natasha character to a completely different level. Excellent job by her. Miss her a lot. Almost everyone in this forum felt for her when she asked Shaan to go after Khanak, knowing well that would be the end of her chances with Shaan.
I was watching that scene where Shaan stops Khanak from telling the truth about their relationship to Hetal and Mangal. KT, in my honest view, looked the best in RBO so far, in that red shirt. And he acted so so well... Shaan was a mature character. He said he is trying very hard to make sure the business does not suffer, and nor will anyone blame Khanak. How did that mature Shaan become so silly suddenly? Am not able to figure that out. He was so intelligent to know that it is the woman who faces problems in the event of a relationship breaking up. He was trying to postpone that possibility. Now that shows smartness and maturity. This Shaan seems like a different person sometimes....
The idea of Shaan and Khanak beating up Mulji-๐Ÿ˜†
me also missing Choksi๐Ÿ˜Š
catch u all later....

How well you write Rasika,
Ekdum precise and to the point
The message is SO CLEAR
Very well said.
I remember that scene all too well
What a fantastic interpretation of it in the INDIAN CONTEXT
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Even I am at a loss to understand, comprehend, explain to myself (leave alone others) the current track
Did Shaan's character knowingly change for the worse?
Or in a move to copy the Rock on track so hurriedly and poorly they completely lost sight of the underlying characters of Khanak and Shaan?
My homework for the nite is to describe the BEST DRAMA scene in my opinion in RBO
The post engagement to Tashu when he is punching that bag with his boxing gloves on that nite..............
THAT SCENE IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of how two people who are immensely in love hurt each other REPEATEDLY ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
THAT is why the Rahul Sam scenes are NOT AT ALL CONVINCING
Ab waisa scene dene ke baad, Thursday Ra-Sam scene dekhne ko miley THEY THEMSELVES HAVE SET THEMSELVES UP TO FAIL SOUNDLY
Give that screenplay and emotions to Ra-Sam THEY JUST CANNOT FAIL
Whether we like it or not emphatic, potent writing has long gone out the window
We see glimpses of it and reassure ourselves that ALL IJ WELL, but it isnt..........
The story line AND the screen play are fast losing charm๐Ÿคข
I am prolly that lone non-teenager watching in the room may be!๐Ÿ˜ญ

Alright Gayu and Aditee...you guys know my obsession about digging digging to find out the whys and whats behind the technical lags of the story....this may also throw light on Shaantanu's change in character...

1. DId you guys know that during RBO Golden days..f..there were two main dialogue writers....the third one kept coming and going but the two main ones were always there....one of these dialogue writers is none other than the actor who plays Hetal Bhabi's husband...yaar I am forgetting his character's name...but yes...he was one of the dialogue writers...NOW since the lag end of the I love you track both of these dialogue writers have disappeared....the third one who kept coming and going is there and two more new ones are there now

2. STAR ONE had to do something MAJOR to survive because TWO of its highest TRP shows were winding up...so the decision was made to do 6 days a week- this everyone knows and therefore the automatic decision to increase head count in RBO and make youth centric becos STAR One has only ahd success with youth based shows..NOW the clincher....around the time STAR ONE announced 'parallel leads' it is my gut that Swapna and Yash Patnaik were busy with their movie...I think there was general agreement on change in TRACK ...but no agreement on PARALLEL LEADS..in my opinion there is a lot of difference in the two terms....in my digging the timing matches...and also Yash Patnaik's OPEN statement on apprehension...shows these guys were NOT AT ALL ready...and are trying their best to revive whatever they can.....thats why they keep saying Rock ON track...yes we have deviated...etc,...

3. Another thing...it is obvious that SWAPNA is not involved in the RASAM track becos the scenes dont look rehearsed,, which is something she is infamous for..., in fact, thats been my comment always...Rahul trying too hard...and also the discomfort in those FB scenes ....it seemed like KT and MAnish just met a second before they had to enact that scene...I mean if not anything guys get a drink together and get to know each other ...

OKAY this was totally off the topic what this thread was meant for...I AM sorry if I am offending anyone...like I said I am always obsessed with what went wrong logical analysis....

Tera news to aur bhi disappointing hai rey Saaz!๐Ÿ˜”
If youve analyzed it so technically, you cant be wrong.
If thats teh case then good writing is dead for good?
Between story and screenplay, if I had to choose one, AT THIS TIME I will choose screen play.
I can live with the current story line, if I cant get a sensible story, then atleast if its conveyed entertainingly I can live with it
Ab dono lacking hai to pata nahi kab tak chalega
Ab Dhulwadi jaana to pipe dream ho gaya, atleast current track spice up ho jaaye woh hi bahut badi baat hai

Haan yaar Aditee...I just think we will be back in business if Swapna takes over as Series director...I think instead of CVs...we should keep posting for this..on Star One channel page or something...

Anyways....change of depressing topic....to completely mindless topic...

Yaar those sarees Khanak used to wear...I want to own each and every one of them....you remember the pinkish one the next day after kuch khaas hai sequence???? OMG...what sarees yaar...and her make-up during the Kuch Khaas Hai sequence....fabulous...earthy colors look good on Khanak..you know the smokey eye shadow...AH!!!

Gaayu...Nahin Re more than the red shirt LOVED LOVED LOVED the Brown with red undercollar during the I love you track on Shaan...remember the trying to trick Khusboo Bhabi scene...haiiii marjawaan...

Oye Saaz,
Mera fave till date has been that red sweater he wore on the evening he gets engaged to Tashu
Followed by the blue check/stripe (?) shirt he wore when he tries to force himself on her
ALL his formal shirts actually
His muscles dont stand out like an eyesore in those.
I realize he is very proud of them but I would rather, he look manly than seem like he is selling steroid/protien injections/shakes.
In all the sleeveless vests he looks like that
There is just SO MUCH TO HIM than the muscles
THANK GOD HE DOES NOT HAVE TATTOOS๐Ÿคข
Otherwise the "did some serious time at a maximum security penitentiary" look would be complete๐Ÿ˜† tattoos all over, coupled with those beefy muscles
He looks so incredibly gorgeous in understated clothes and style
Bekaar mein he keeps trying to please the front benchers I feel.
Looks like he is about to go to some UP akhara and pump iron!
So NOT my kinda guy!
If KT truly has refined taste, and loves the "upmarket" Hollywood shows and movies he will realize (sooner or later) that treadmill salesman ki tarah dress karney se he loses his classiness....... big time!
Ofcourse, bottom line, its HIS CHOICE if he wants to appeal to the classes or the masses.
Salman at 45 is stripping at the drop of a hat, why cant he do so at 20? Maybe!
But I dont care for it!
I want the guy I drool over to atleast LOOK intelligent even if they dont actually spew data on India's foriegn policy๐Ÿ˜†
Agar kapde bhi dhang ke nahi pehne, its hard for me to look at them for more than a second

I ACTUALLY LOOOOVED THAT SAREE she wore the day after "Kuch Khaas hai"
(Ofcourse she looked like an angel in white, SO BEAUTIFUL, yep! the smoky eye shadow and generous eyeliner, I FELT she had a cold or something, her voice in those episodes were particularly husky๐Ÿ˜ณ made those scenes seem even more romantic)
thats been my all time fave Saaz!
Suits to woh itna repeat kar chuki hai, sab phatna shuru ho gaya hoga
Why cant she wear that gorgeous dark pink/orange/sequinned creation
My second best saree choice for her, the red one she wears for the Swades scene imitation.
Followed by the pinks, the turqoises, and the sky blue......... were all beautiful
She wears it well.
She looks more vivacious in a saree.
WITH NO HAIR EXTENSIONS, NO HAIR SPRAY, SHE LOOKS REAL AND NATURAL
Those figure hugging shimmering kurtas she wears these days DO NOTHING FOR HER
I watched the SR/kiss episode last nite, mere 52 in TV mein that sprayed up pouffed up hair looked very bad!
It was bending in clumps around her face!
Its thick and unnatural and the texture is no where close to her real hair.

OH YES YES YES>...I totallly loved the red sweater and the cheked shirts...but hated the Black full sleeve shirt during the Khanak stiching button scene.....HATE HATE his ties with a passion....and umm the red shoes...less said the better...

OH so with you on the muscles and tats...YUCKIEST YUCK....what is that??? you know something so many of my younger cousin bros are getting so beefed up...its sick...and they keep saying ..."Akka, its the style".....I have to use the " What style you idiot you look like you 'did some serious time at a maximum security penitentiary'....๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†...too funny...

While I am okay with the banians...ONLY becos they actually are appropriate for the scene...he wears them around 'sleeptime'....but have always wondered if they have enough air conditioning....sweating nahin hota kya....and then YM's constant comment on how she hates Body Odor cracks me up big time...Acha..KT likes upmarket hollywood shows.....arrey I tho feel so many of these desi kids (actors especially) on the block are so out of it when it comes to america and americanization....

Arrey yaarr,,,with Khanak they are ruining her looks...ever since they put her in churidhars (until the post botched up proposal scene she was abso fine) they have gone all crazy with the make -up notice post botched up proposal scene...everywhere she seems caked...and the hair,,,,come on...and then now in recent episodes tho, looks like the make up is taking a toll,,she has developed acne and then those close up scenes mein tho distracting....I am tho getting more and more convinced that Swapna is not directing at all....

You are right
I HATE HIS TIES FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
He looks like those guys that sell you credit cards and car loans outside ATMs all across India.
RED SHOES! I wont even go there! I cant even say whats on my mind. I will PM you, but yes its a COMPLETE NO NO on a guy, in MY opinion
Arrey he had once said two weeks ago that he likes to watch Friends and How I met your Mother, and so I said "How come they ALL only like Hollywood shows DESPITE working in Bollywood in TV SHOWS?"
Its infra dig?
Poocha maine
I ruffled a LOT OF FEATHERS.
I will post in short what ever opinion I have of it all over again for you:
I feel its disingenuous of them to worship Hollywood when their paycheck comes from its poor country cousin. I had hoped he would atleast say Sarabhai vs Sarabhai or Powder or Rishta.com (mujhe kaise karke bhi is show ka naam din mein ek baar to lena hi hai๐Ÿ˜†)
Oh heck even Koffe with Karan would have worked for me!
But yes, you are right.
They dont have a clue!

@ Aditi and Saaz,
Am LOL here reading your interactions:) U two are so good and write so well.
Abt Shaan's clothes, am in full agreement with u two. hate red shoes with a passion. And those ties.
Aditi, pm me as well what u think of those- shoes and ties. am sure it will be very funny๐Ÿ˜†
Saaz, Mangal wrote the screenplay? wow! had no idea! I cant remember his name either... gosh, has he left the Odhani team?
What do you mean by apprehension on Yash ji's part? Did he actually express his worry abt the new track?
I want to know one thing. How high were the TRPs for DMG and MJHT? Bcos someone said that Geet was the first Star One show to touch the 1 mark in TRP. All their shows got below 1. Now, if DMG and MJHT did not set the TV world on fire, then why bother to capture that segment? And why RBO? Why cant they try a track like this in Geet? That would be more rewarding financially since Geet is the more profitable show na... I dont have an MBA but just thinking loud here...
I have been asking for long why Shaan does not have any friends. So unreal for a South Mumbai lad. He has to have friends. They can be an integral part of the story. No problem. My uneasiness, till today, is more with the lines that have been given to Sam, Duck and Rahul. And the scenes written for them. None of them can match the scenes Shaan and Khanak got. That's unfair to RaSam and Duck. I hope they get smashing lines... am sure we will like them too, sooner than expected.
About knowledge of Indian TV stars about TV shows elsewhere, I am amused how none of them ever mention British television programs- like Spooks, or period dramas or sitcoms. It seems like everyone watches only American TV shows. I have been in UK and US and personally feel British shows have more clever writing.
To me, Seinfeld and Frasier are more intelligent than Friends. Why are they still refering to Friends? It got over almost a decade ago na... Why don't they mention The Sopranos or The Wire or 24, hard-hitting, gritty shows? Or even Simpsons? Or West Wing? Shows known for clever writing, intelligent direction and contemporary take of life in U.S....
I read somewhere that most Indian TV stars dont watch their own shows... they say they dont have time. When they have time, they watch Eng soaps. I personally feel they shld watch their own shows. Wud benefit them a lot....Or make sure they get updated on what shows are actually being aired on American television! And not mention soaps that got over 10 yrs ago.
About Yashu's make-up, yes, her acne are showing....
