Reporters team seem to have changed..

Why do I get the feeling that the folks associated with Reporter had a contract for 100 episodes, and since then, they got a whole new team on board...

Everything has changed since we crossed the 100th episode mark.

The Ananya we knew for the last 5+ months has suddenly changed to talk and behave differently.

The Anita Kashyap we knew for the last 5+ months has undergone a transformation from bad, worse, worst...

The subtle ways in which the actions and emotions were handled has changed.

Earlier we used to get hints by reading between the lines, and we could so relate to them. Now, everything is spelled out and still nothing is relate-able.

The characters and tracks were close to reality. We admired the show for being realistic. That realism got lost somewhere along the way, to be replaced with u-knows-what.

Forgot to add this ealier, so editing to include this: Earlier each track used to be for max 10 episodes. Even the pre-confession MU track was for 10 episodes. But now, post 100-epi MU track is like never-ending - with no hope in sight...

The only thing that remains the same --

In their quest to be different, where this won't be a typical story of two women fighting over one man, they are showing the leading lady being anti-her hero. The abuses she is hurling at him, even the worst villain or vamp would never say to a hero..

Great job, old or new CVs!! You rock... .

I don't know, if I am turning into sadist, but I am actually enjoying the episodes. Rather after Shreya's entry and before the past revelation, things had become a bit boring for me ! But now, if I turn a blind eye to the bloopers, I am really enjoying the rest of it. Specially the performances by most of the actors. And Ananya, I'll prefer to ignore her for a while. And to be very true, Anita was always an irrational character for me, who lived a lie for 8 yrs and made her family do so, inspite of knowing the truth and is now allowing Ananya to fulfil her kartavya as a daughter, caring a damn about her life. Kabir requested her to ask him about his past and she landed up at Shreya's house for the same ! She's been plain silly all the while !

I can relate to what you are feeling.. For me the first 50episides are like the benchmark.. I truly enjoyed them..even now I can watch them multiple times.. Post confession I found myself whining about lot of things be it there pacification, Ananya's tantrums, over stretching of past etc.. But then I kept my faith that they will bounce back and rock the journalism world as team..but no that's not happening and top of it Ananya ma'am is busy accusing her ex-fiance.
Anita is a lost cause..she used to be sensible in the beginning but she has become truly unrealistic currently. Who goes asks ex-wife about her reasons for divorce and how can anyone make a judgement by just listening to one side of the story.

It's a true waste to reason or logic in this track. CVS tried too hard to be different and lost the essence of the show.

Just coz this is gonna end soon..for my own good am going watch the show by keeping all the logic and reasoning behind.

True I agree. .I watch those episodes again and again and still love them..but seriously after the 100th episode we forget if we are watching Reporters or something else. .only thing that makes me watch is cause of Rajeev...will really miss him and KaYa moments that we watched once the show is off air

So I guess I made a wise decision of stop watching this serial. Not bothering abt who did what, when, how, why - logically, illogically, rationally, irrationally, stupidly or naively!😆
For me the very essence of the story got washed up with revelation of truth behind SK's death mystery and Kabir's involvement in it. If this was the main plot of the story, thy handled it really badly. Either tht or this plot was a pretty bad patch up work.
And now it looks like nothing is making any sense in this serial anymore!😆😆😆
Thy shudnt have stretched it. Thy shud've ended with 100 epis.😳
p.s.: And as I feared thy sacrificed heroine's brains to glorify the "star" "ladies hot favorite" hero to gain the sympathy points.😃
A lot was good and refreshing in the serial, bt in the end it all went down the drain!😳

Agree with you dear.
Understood that Ananya is angry, hurt, or whatever because kabir hid a very important truth from her. But since then 're things she's been saying the accusations she's been throwing at him are shocking. I mean no girl who professes to love someone and who has in the past trusted him so much that she refused to even hear about his past, would at least give him a chance to explain under what circumstances he has done what he did.

I can't say about change of crew but yes script appears to have been changed. One thing I've noticed is that when precaps stop and so do promos or synopsis stop then it means a totally different track is being made.

Also I don't know if many have noticed but the episodes have been shortened. Now they last for just about 18 minutes a compared to the previous 20 -22 mins

I am 100% sure script has been altered. Reason why I said crew might have changed is because, we see some definite change in the way things are being handled. The subtle handling from earlier has given way to OTT and melodrama now. Maybe that is coz of the script change, don't know.

Good observation about the channel stopping precaps and promos. Never thought about it this way, but now when I think back I feel what you say is true..

Actually, the good and refreshing serial might come back in the remaining three weeks. I am sitll hopeful. Guess, you can consider watching the remaining episodes.

Yes. They handled the whole SK murder revelation track very very badly. It was a pretty bad patch up job. I agree. They should have edited and ended the show properly. Thanks to this out-of-the-way twist, they made mince meat of Ananya and Anita's character over the last two weeks.

But, way I look at it, things are back to where they were before that patch-up job happened. So I am hopeful that they can redeem the show now...

Agree. After the 100th episode, everything changed. Story, treatment, characterization, dialogues - everything.
