Brilliant post...👏👏👏


SLB himself is confused about what should be shown..
He has not accepted one view. On one side, he has shown its Kumud who brought internet to the village and there is no electricity at night...😆


Sanskaars and maryada matters are given utmost importance but still, the daughter of the house sneaks into the room of the boy at midnight...👎🏼


DB is shown dual-minded.
She has a problem if Kumari keeps her hair open but she has no problem if Kumud wears backless blouse and transparent chunni


Dear SLBji...Please show something that is complete...


In India, we see power failures in big cities too..cities like Kanpur and even Delhi experience heavy loadshedding for hours and sometimes days specially in summers.. Infact there is a time slot for power failure for every sector of a colony..and all these places have internet.. so why is it so unbelievable in this case? not sure..

What has Kumud done so far thats off limit or not within limits of maan maryada.. ?? Is falling in love and having the courage to ask the guy who gave her every possible indication that he has feelings for her, going against maan maryada? I don't understand what is this maan maryada you are talking about..?

Dukhba is one of the strongest characters is the show.. I agree on the part that she should give more attention to her daughter than she does.. Kumud can carry herself in the kind of attire she wears.. Jennifer has the height and figure to carry them off..Not only Kumari is too young for such clothes..I think she is a lil too skinny for those kinda dresses.. When she grows up and if she wears something like that, which is a common attire in Gujrat villages, Dukhba might not have a problem..who knows!?Leaving that aside, in the show they wanted to convey that Kumud is Dukhba's '' laadli'' so she gets away with a lot of things compared to the other children of the house..not just Kumari..but Kusum and Yash also are not as close to Dukhba as Kumud is.. right or wrong? I dunno..I know such things happen..

above stated questions have been bothering me too! after watching the show so far, i am getting the taste of eating saag with bread instead of makki ki roti!

the cvz are trying to blend the novel with modern era, that is why they showed dubai where saras was shown living in a posh house but still holds traditional beliefs.

then they showed ratnagiri where they tried to create rural atmosphere by showing gau hatya track, although its hard to believe but in some parts of rural india there r people that still hold on to the century old traditions and beliefs!

then in the village they showed computers and cell phones which means that the rural areas of india r still in the stage of development..which is again indicating towards today's time and age.

i think that the cvz are trying to make modern adaptation of the novel, the scenes where they show lanterns when the electricity goes just makes the scenes more classy and beautiful which might be slb's idea because he likes showing this type of settings even in his movies..a poetic romance!

on the whole its not a bad attempt but has lots of room for improvement..as far as acting is concerned i don't see any flaws..the flaw is in neglecting details...logic ki vaat ka blame goes to the bad script..i think slb should personally look into it and attention needs to be given to better writing and hopefully interesting sensible tracks!

Yes...😊
And thats why he is behind showing romantic scenes whether they have logic or not...
Modernization does not mean killing the originality. SLB has done this.

How many will want Ramayana and Mahabharata in the SLB way..??😆😆

Draupadi wearing jeans and T-shirt...😲
Ram in barmoodaas...
Sita in Skirts...

NO ONE for sure...

Lovely Post. I also had many more above questions. Glad to see a post on this. May be Cv's are confused because of the TRP pressure. They are ignoring all the other characters and logistics and concentrating only on Samud romance to improve the TRP's.


I think so too Anu, the Samud romance is working, and they have great on screen chemistry, but the CVs need to focus on all round story development, strong parallel tracks, - they have one, the Kumari and Dugba track, but a lot of logistics are ignored , well said.

Small inconsistencies can be quite distracting from the main story

I love your post. A lot of these things have been confusing me too. The CVs really can't decide what kind of an era and ideology they want to stick to.


I felt so, too, though its ostensibly a present day story, it often lapses into "ancient era" logic

Those are a lot of questions Arshi !!! 😲😆 I will answer the ones that is easy to address 😃 About the electricity.. they carry the lanterns mostly when the power supply fails, assuming in villages they don't have inverter connections, emergency lights or generators.. have they used the lanterns other than that? maybe ..if yes then its just the SLB touch.. he visualises his canvas for telling a story in a specific way and its usually very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes..so no complains :))


About the bus connectivity..well LN has money to speed deliver whatever he wants..LOL
all these details don't hamper the narration for me..To create drama one has to deviate from the logics sometimes.. happens all the time..everywhere actually..

About the dress sense, roaming around with a guy in the village..well... firstly Kumud doesnt fit into the bill of a conventional village girl in any sense...she is progressive, confident , educated and bold that reflects in her personality..intimidating to a large extent.. Not saying that roaming around with a guy is progressive or anything..but she hasn't been doing anything inappropriate ..so cant point finger..

I think its anyway tough to keep the right balance between a yesteryear's classic drama and a contemporary love story.. In that sense they have been doing pretty well so far.. I don't find anything completely unbelievable or difficult to relate to, honestly, until I come here and read some posts.. I connect only with the emotions..as long as that's working everything else is fine and so far I am very happy on that front.. I don't enjoy or rather don't find myself capable of going too much into technical details...honestly it kinda spoils the fun of watching the show..

And yes I am superrr excited for the wedding.. ! :D Possibilities of Saras Kumud romance are endless.. this can be a great TRP booster week for the show..*fingers crossed*



Vaishali, I love your positivity, and I agree with you on two points

1. Connecting with the emotions -

that is the largest reason for the success of any show, as long as we can do that, we will always watch and enjoy the show

And in that, no doubt, SC is fantastic.

2. Going too much into technical details can spoil the fun of watching the show, even a great one like SC.

Unfortunately, that's what happens with "fault finders " like me. The lack of closing technical points interferes with the enjoyment of the show.

Emotional connect is 80% of what will keep a viewer hooked on and the technical details are only 20%

So a show which is merely technically excellent but has no emotional connect, will never succeed.

On the other hand, a show which has a huge emotional connect will always have a committed fan base who will stick by it, inspite of the technical flaws.

Having said that Vaishali, what differentiates a great show from an excellent show, is attention to details, because there will always be a section of the viewers who, like me, will sometimes lose the focus on the 80%, because the 20% sticks out like a sore thumb!

So if a show has cracked the tough part and got the emotional connect right, why not go the extra mile and get the 20% also right, as that is the easier bit!
