RangRasiya Creativity missing a Woman's touch - Page 5

I never thought of it in this way. I mostly do agree with you. There's something about Paro that I don't seem to understand. There's some major disconnect. I do feel this is specific to RR because on on an earlier show, I hated what the female character did. But I could still see why she did those things. Right now, I have no idea what Paro is all about and it's been 3 months. The things Rudra said to her yesterday are level 1 insults that were expected (not acceptable, but obvious). Her sudden shift, however, was bizarre to me. I understand she's innocent, naive, and has a strong sense of loyalty and blind faith. Fair enough. But is there a reason why she's holding off proving herself innocent? Again, I can see the pehle kyun nahi bataya criticism being hurled at her on the show. If we do a comparative situation analysis, Paro has lost much more than Rudra has, at least in these last few days. I do appreciate her spirit, but she just comes across as- I dunno- flat in her stubbornness.

I don't have issues as such with the romance because this is the fare I've always been served on TV. Not that I don't want anything new, but all of this is standard. The isolated events make sense, the overall umbrella of the hate probably doesn't.

Laila is always my favourite. If there is a character they are "butchering" it's her. Maybe it's to appease the TRP audience, or something, who would always question Laila morally. Big disappointment there. And Mohini. She's cute in her bonding with Sumer, but even that is rather materialistic. She could have been mother to Maithili, and neighbour to Sunehri and I couldn't have told the difference.

Having given all this bhaashan, I know that these CVs are an experienced lot, there are a couple of women on the block. I know their shows have painted characters well in the past. Then is it some one person's upper hand in telling the story? I don't know, can't figure it out right now. If a woman's perspective is the numero uno aim on the To-do list of daily soaps, RR is lagging behind.

It could be the lack of women's touch, or something else. Yesterday Napster pointed out that the audience base is slightly older than what we had on the other show. I guess we expect some maturity here- we need a little more than teenage romance, or direct rip-offs from M&B's. In contrast, if they ARE targeting young, or even international audience, how is the heavy dependence on Hindu mythology going to help (where I need Google baba's aid often, despite being a Hindu, brought up in India)? I just think it's confused interest at play here. They really need to finalise what they want, and not bow down to every small viewer tantrum. They will end up ruining the story otherwise.

P. S. This is one of the most brilliantly articulated posts I've seen, SJ. Excellent clarity. Thanks for discussing this, because negativity or not, healthy interaction is required. I'm sure we can handle non-fan girl posts with civility.

SJ 👏I love the way you put forward your point of view, in a very light funny way you intelligently make us realize the flaws. Only some people have this strength of expression.

I've read all your posts till date ,my first reaction is I laugh my heart out, on second thought I read again to get to the depth & grasp the points to ponder, & finally when the realization strikes I'm dumbfounded, mesmerized by your sensitivity & sensibility & of course your sense of humor is excellent.your posts are so mind blowing that sometimes I forget to hit the like button/ link.

What you've expressed in your post today I would say there seems some disconnect in Paro's characterization & the overall story.The writer/ creatives are confused. what they wanted was OTHELLO what meshed into has a twisted tinge of SHIV/PARVATI from MYTHOLOGY.My feeling is the TRP factor has forced them to change the story, ( OTHELLO being not a story for masses, Shiv/ Parvati has more public appeal & understanding) The result is a strange mix of rock and roll,zumba, Classic, Bhangra,tango,disco & kathak.they them-self seem to have lost direction.

The feminine sensitivity is definitely amiss,doesn't necessarily mean that a female writer is needed because some male writers have better understanding of female sensitivities & are capable of delivering better.They should realize soon before it's too late.Rudy's manhandling, Paro's retarded attitude (disoriented in time, place & person) mohini's manipulation, others almost nonexistent, Laila's monotonous low IQ attempts at killing,it seems colors is on the way to loose colors in Rangrasiya.

agree with you..it breaks my heart to see the mindless things happening..I have been un-seeing a lot of things, purely for the fact that its the only show I see on telly.. but yesterday, I could not un-see or reason the happenings of the show..

This by far best review I have seen on RR.. totally agree.. i am not saying GH
Is not a good writer.. RR has been entertaining.. only that his female characters are not multi dimentional. No offense to members here who hav defended Paro as virginal and pure and untainted .. etc... she is not human .. why? Its a mans perspective.. view point as what female epitome will look like.. not a real woman.. thats why she does not react to whatever Rudra throws at her or life throws at her.. she is not a real woman.. she is what a virginal pure god fearing u touched woman from a mans fantasy

U were asking for romantic comedies...

SJ my worst nightmare of the show is

Good post SJ, very deep writing!
I do hope the CVs are just taking their time and are going to show Paro much deeper than this. We want to see her have the same time to reflect on her pain and hurt and betrayal as we have seen Rudra. Since a lot of what's going on is mirror imagery/copy of what the other goes through, I can only hope that it will be Paros turn soon.

SJ I am a fan of your writing and respect your opinion always 😊

I agree with your post. While I feel that many writers can write a woman's story really well. It does indeed involve either a keen sense of observation and reflection on human nature or plumbing the depths of one's own experience Or both.

But RR in my view gas lost its wSy somewhere. I personally get no sense of evolution in any character's trajectory- male or female, especially since the thakur revelation.

It feels as if the story can't make up its mind about what it wants to really be And since the last few days it's a series of resets or jumps in new directions.

The romance just flew out of the picture for me, but I'm not even able to understand what anyone actually feels. The doll story could have been such a powerful moment. Why now? And why in a way that if registered no impact for many? Could haves been beautifully explored...

And much as I love Paro I can't relate with what they are making her do at all. Is it to bring in comedy? Is it sincere ? What is it that they are showing?

Of course it is the writers story and they can tell it the way they want to and there are folks galore on the forum to advise one "dekhna hai to dekho!" It doesn't take away from one's sadness at losing touch with something one cares a lot about.

Btw I do think GH has a female colleague as co-script writer...
