Frustration Thread: Unhappy with Storyline/Characters? Discuss HERE! - Page 2

Thanks for opening this thread
Finally somewhere we can rant out frustration on

I think the BG music is too melodramatic and totally unnecessary at times. Jenny needs to work on dialogue delivery and kumud's cloths r quite revealing for a conservative gujju girl who is not from a city. I agree with some of you hear, they should stop making her look like nandini from Hum dil de chuke sanam😕 it's so not new or fresh.

Also, I feel some really hackneyed stuff is being shown to prove the hero as a good guy (saving the heroine's father or rescuing a boy from drowning).

is so typical of SLB's HDDCS and Devdas! As viewers we want to see something new and fresh.

What else? How did he become what he did? What's his thought process? Please unravel it too.

I want story and proper character sketch to be established before romance/attraction or reluctantly coming close etc. begins.

And sorry to repeat myself but PLEASE DISTINGUISH it from SLB's own movies for GOD's SAKE! I don't want a "I think I've seen this somewhere before" feel while watching the show!

Thanks. Show seems to have lot of promise.

I agree with you. But all I want is that focus on the male lead and his psyche should also be there side by side. I want some balance instead of whole episodes gone in romantic moments. MAIN thing I want it to be different from SLB's movies. I still doubt if some stuff he's showing was actually there in the novel or not, because it seemed to be HDDCS and Devdas all over again to me.

I understand they want to bait their target audience. But we also need something solid and fresh. No compromise on content.

Oh and as some people pointed out, the BGM can get too loud and even jarring at times. This is a TV show and not a film. So I hope they tone it down a bit too.

It's not a bad show and story seems to have a lot of potential. In last few years I haven't even bothered to give any new show a look. This one seemed to have something to it so I gave it a try and even my family seems to like it. I just want it to turn out really well and unique, which I hope it does.

Hello there.
Sorry to butt in.

I agree that they should focus more on the male lead, no arguments there. I, too, cannot connect with him at times because I don't really have much information about him. He hardly speaks.

As for the reference to HDDCS and Devdas, I believe that Nandani is a copy of Kumud, for a simple reason that the novel was written way before HDDCS. I have been forced to read the plot because of all the comparisons post.

There was an interview, in which Gautam was asked about the similarities between the show/novel and the movie and the guy straightway denied it. He said we were just told about the characteristics about Kumud and Saras. He says the base of the character is same.

But yes, I agree there is no fresh approach to atleast Kumud's character.

I find it hard to digest that the mother has not told the father about the proposal rejection yet

Also why is the father so crazy about SARASWATICHANDRA?? and y will anything happen to the father if he will leave! So weird!

This girl needs better decent clothes...in front of Kumud...i can surely say her sister looks much pretties...Kumud looks shabby with tht uncombed hair nd dress...its bad!!!!

MAIN thing - the lead actress please STOP being an amalgamation of Nandini and Paro of SLB's HDDCS and Devdas! -😳 couldn agree more...its unbelievable the way she dresses...she looks shabby with the way she leaves her hair in front of her face...her sister is much prettier...This lead really needs to stop showin her bare body!!!!!

I don't know if the makers themselves are doing it or the novel had such situations. But this whole joint family set up, daughter being apple of father's eye, dreamy heroine, hero landing from foreign country, heroine walking around with her lehenga/dupatta/pallu in hands and trying to "sambhalo" it, heroine refusing to show her face to the hero, one or two cheeky/rude older females in hero/heroine's families etc. is so typical of SLB's HDDCS and Devdas! - so true...stop running...the world is not ending...nd i really don like the way she hold her self...her body language needs improvement...


Instead we just see romantic moments!
