Aren't we all, dear annete😉

Bilkul. We all are. I was saying, wait till the truth comes out. Gandhari act needed even more.

Waise bhi wo sahi ya galat jo bhi karta hai, dil se karta hai. He thinks his conscience is always clear. No pretense.

Thank you for the "Drama Bytes" today, Arshi... I trust you use 'Drama' in its v loose and charitable form 😉

It appears the storyline (if it could be called that) is gonna get more and more 'convoluted'... Or is that too high-brow a term for galley-tamasha-being-dished-out-now? Is it too much to hope that these stoned CV's even remember all the shit they're shovelling out, remember that there is a 'bigger picture' or is the prevailing attitude 'eff it, we live for epi to epi only'... Because we take for granted that the average audience attention span lasts for twenty-plus minutes only... That too spent multi-tasking... Peeling vegetables, half on the phone, having dinner, whatever... The much coveted TVT's are also decreasing... Where the eff is the executioner's axe when you need it?! 🤔

Looks like the next two weeks can be easily missed out... It appears Primma Donna and his one expression is gonna get undue prominence and a token 'walk-out' will be staged... So that 'Nayi Soch' gets weakly bleated for one or two epi before it is shamelessly back to touting 'Ghatiya Soch'... And after laughably wrecking the brilliance and grace of past memorable sequences, have these capitalist a-holes got their TVT hungry eyes on the stark brilliance of the 'dah sanskar' sequence next? 😡

Most interesting: Aanshul Trivedi has been lately MIA from Twitter because his character has been getting flak for the DV track... Witness him making a triumphant return from after next week to bask in the accolades because his character has 'changed' and the 'intense' chemistry is gonna be back in full force... 🤢

Kalika... At least you brought spice... I'll be waiting eagerly for your return... If ChugaliChandra bleats all to Pramad re your swiss bank accounts, it renders your mutually assured destruction pact null and void. So now Saraswatichandra's real identity is fair game as well

P.S. Arshi, I didn't wanna say in Mahabharat forum, but unfortunately the show is way too 'flash' for me... Again, loud aesthetics, a breakneck pace that makes assimilation virtually impossible... SP are true to form here also... Sigh, somethings you can always count on. So I will have to bow out. Epi by epi I am getting more and more confused, have tried but failed to find a single chord that strikes. I'd rather read a book regarding the same 😳

Hmm, itna gussa!

Kya se kya ho gaya show ko

And drama is used in the sense of cheap antics and not drama as in theatre

Mahabharat - it's becoming more and more like a cartoon film made for 3 year olds, without the fun and innocence of cartoon films but.

The biggest duddest disappointment of all, but star plus have finally proved one thing

Give them a story, any story and they will show you how to ruin it!

And anyway, ab SC is gud time pass

Mini bytes are far more fun than crisp bytes

All izz well

Sirf ekk hi gussa Arshi ji... Why try to replicate and in the process utterly wreck the work of the previous and undoubtedly more superior creative team? You wanna show cheap thrills, generate your own, why deform something else. The SLB-era seems like footprints in the sand now Arshi ji, with the visibility-expectancy of the same... Only until the next crude wave, with a vengeance, fully obliterates... This is purely 'Ivy' talking... 😳

dekho ji,phale samjho what i said then ans karoo ..and pramay has nothing to do with the show or story its ur Mrs.anaconda sundari who will hold on to anything but saras ka fault hai jo prammy ko bhogat na par raha hai all this BS.oh bechara jaisa bhi tha apne kingdom ka lion tha ...tarki hi sahi but tha ..kumi ne kaho ka nhi choda usko 😡😡 another raiss jade qurban on her game of throne 🤔

i bashed kumi left right center i want her t drop dead but i never said live with prammy or sleep with him ..im not dumb ji an toh apki kumi kk ka plan tha ji.

and kalika like i said a long time before sp is third class people needs a naukrani to run a show but i dont even consider her as a character ..ur plan to make kalika the naukrani and prammy pair up is just too u know kumi kind ...told u i feel like i m talking to kumi when ever talk to u ..****sigh****

kumi can never match prammt cox he is a horrible person but he is honest and straight forward.ur kumi kk does not even deserve him ...

There has to be some kind of individuality, talent and imagination as well as a sincere effort to be truthful to your predecessor ...sadly this is show business replication/imitation is the sincerest form of it ...jo bikta hai wohi dekhta hai

Ivy-
Good to see you posting...

Agree to your POV.

I could see elements of another twist / realignment in yesterday's epi..the MIL is now openly expressing her dissatisfaction with BD & Kumud...so at some stage kalika, MIL & pramad are going to come together...

So still firmly convinced we will continue to see some token 'Nayi Soch' crap for some time ...and then we will be back to the same old same old...

...methinks the spoiler indicates more convolutions for a final twist in the end...as per the spoilers, Prammy tries to reform..what if this itself is an act..so as to make kumud re-transfer his inheritence back to him?...

Regarding MB...would endorse your decision...SP continues to amaze with its consistency...never thought it was doable, but SP has proved me wrong and has majorly screwed up the screenplay of this show...Even when I remember most of the stories, sometimes I have needed a few mins to quickly 'refresh' and fill in the blanks from memory so as to make sense of what's unfolding as I watch...I could imagine what disorientation a person who is seeing it for the first time would experience... And without the back-stories / context most of what you see would like a logic ki vaats / entirely self-serving / out of place etc. ...You would be better served also by seeing the old BR Chopra version which ran for 2 years...

Stupefied by the sheer cockiness and stupidity of SP...
- for a show like SC, it wants a bigger run and seeks to achieve it basis daily TVT performance and adding twists & turns in the concoction...killing its USP & appeal in the process.
- for show like MB it wants a limited run of 128 epis which plans to finish irrespective of daily performance and seeks to achieve it by haphazardly chopping off story elements...also killing its USP and appeal in the process.

Shouldn't it have been the other way around?
- A MB redux...if well produced and comprehensively covered would get the TVTs araamse to go on for 2+ years...just look at Mahadev show!
- A path-breaking SC could have been produced and completed in a taut but fixed run while still keeping the original story / SLB direction intact...irrespective of daily performance.

Wouldn't that have got it huge mind-share, respect and identification across all TVT segments by these 2 shows...the modern generation as well as the TVT aunty?

But like they say common sense is not so common.

And in the end we are left with 2 high potential shows reduced to a farce on prime-time television...

😭

not to belabour the point...but some trivia on the effort which went into the BR Chopra version of MB..

The dialogue and screenplay was written by the poet Rahi Masoom Raza!
He spent 3 full years researching on the epic and 2 more years penning the script & screenplay... including staying with Pandits to assimilate the ethos.

"Main Samay Hoon" concept was his brainchild...as well as translating most of the sanskritised Hindi used in previous translations into more contemperory Urdu & Hindustani...so that the dialogues just flowed and were understood without effort and yet still managed to convey the entire emotions fluently.

Where are such people nowadays????

And pandit narendra sharma for expert guidance. He played a huge role in research too. If that level of talent n expertise is involved, end result will obviously be of high quality.

Agree...However Pandit Narendra Sharma had passed away...perhaps too soon ...after the project started...

The point I am making is the amount of effort and dedication despite the level of talent and expertise...

While SP is looking at short cuts and quick wins...
