Agree with you on all points

And yes the show is not bad, just expected much better, ESP since it is SLB brand

I thought he would stay away from the formula and break a few stereotypes

yeah some character r loud but when compared to other shows they r not that loud hah may b they r including drama for trp cos indians luv melodrama..no drama means no trp..

I am glad it's working for you.

While some amount of illogical ness is ok, as long as the overall scenario is appealing, we enjoy the show

For me sadly the overall package has more minuses than pluses, so I guess I will crib!

A man of slb's calibre should not be scared to experiment. I don't see why he shud bow down to trps and kill the show.I am sure a refreshingly good story will grab our attention without resorting to cliches

I agree with all your points. It was expected to be different but it mainly turned out to be a rehash of Bhansali's own old films with same old typical elements of regular TV serials.

Kumud is feisty but behaves like a typical lead many times. Saras was different (still is), he has character, softness, emotions, sensitivity etc. but at times he is made to behave like a typical male lead of so-called romantic TV shows too. Their uniqueness should've always been there and never compromised, but since last few episodes it HAS been compromised!

Saraswatichandra...I feel SLB just took its name some ideas from it, otherwise it's going to be mangled, dragged, tangled, twisted like a usual predictable story of an Indian daily soap. So much for "retelling" or re-interpretation!

BTW, you forgot the predictable so called signature tune to indicate romance between leads! This constant Ae jeee...piyaaa is no different from Rabba ve or Mahi ve types! 😉 TV shows since last few years have had this and this one has too - so check! 😆

I don't really agree with excuse of TRP mata because TRP isn't shooting up either!

100% in agreement

Wait And watch, we will have memory loss, die and return and many more such "original" ideas

Just keep SLB's films in mind. We'll know the "story" even before episodes are aired.

So much for reading about the story which the title seems to suggest!

Anyway, I had wished SLB show some sequence like the Chandan sa badan song between SC and Kumud that was there in Saraswatichandra, the film, starring Nutan! It'd be hot! 😉

If gimmicks are to be there, then why not a sequence based on this song? It's better than usual hair tucking romance which's been done to death in every TV show! In the film the leads hadn't even touched each other and the heroine wasn't even wearing the kind of revealing clothes that Kumud in the show wears, yet the song was so sensuous! I hope something like it can be shown in the show now that SC is attracted so soon and is getting closer so quickly.

(The song in the original film is not a gimmick. But I used the word gimmick only in context of this show and based on what's being going on in it since last few days!)
