Beautiful...outstanding ...I was,in fact waiting for your post Wanderer because you promised you will come back one last time...I have lost TRUST in ST , lost it completely ...The kind of love and loyalty this show commanded & still does leaves me stunned...And what did the fans get in return? Nothing but hurt, more hurt & pain...It is all very well to mouth polite platitudes...to guard against someone's feelings getting hurt...but sometimes, I think...what is more important is having your feelings protected and knowing exactly where you stand with someone...I know exactly where I stand when it comes to ST...He messed up, messed up badly & then put the blame on the audience & the channel...I do not blame the channel, they are not running a charity service ...there is such a thing as sustainability which the show wasn't providing & they took the best decision that was in their interest...RR had a very strong foundation ( Parud's ETERNLE love ) supported by two major pillers (1) Tejawat (2) Mala...the pillers weren't taken care of, they were allowed to rot so the foundation had to suffer...Tejawat ( I would include Nandini & 17 brides track in it too ) & Mala track ...both these tracks were butchered & that too badly...and then started a chain of illogical/horrendous tracks...
RR had a niche concept that was never going to appeal to the saas-bahu crowd. Why make an effort to woo them then? Why not reward the niche audience that came your way hoping that you would deliver on the promise of quality entertainment? All they had to do was keep faith in their concept and reach out to more of that audience, instead of trying to change creative tack midway! And the WORST was they thought we are dim wits who would be happy to see Sanish romance , we don't understand thing about ETERNLE love, soul mate concept & getting a modern lookalike would take care of everything ...how shallow can someone get ??
You know I hate saying good byes...so let it be ...so long...till we meet again...
