Saras - Where is this heading - Page 2

Santhi, loved what you have written,

and I too have a lot of apprehensions about where they are taking the character of Saras?

The character graph of Saras has been developed well per se but of late the CVs have lost the

complete essence of Saraswatichandra the man.

It's not about whether he should lighten up and have fun or not

Of course he should, an ecstatic and deewana Saras is very much spot on.

But, having said that, each character also has a framework within which it will also operate

So a deewana Saras who sneaks her out for a midnight date,

or dashes to a place 2 hours away to get

his mothers saree converted to a chaniya choli,

or practices dance moves all night so that no one else dances with his Kumud,

a Saras who sneaks into her room because she must be cold and would need coffee -

adorable, and relatable to the character sketch drawn for Saras

But a Saras who dresses up as a garish kartar Singh and

creates public embarrassment for her and himself?

Even in his most ecstatic moments Saras wouldn't,

He maybe childlike in love, but not childish

Lightened up, but not silly

It just doesn't add up

And now this haldi thing - remember the Saras that was

All the western upbringing, easy access to money and a fast life

Didn't even touch him, a lonely child who could have become anything,

Turned spiritual and ascetic

This then was the core of Saraswatichandra

Spirituality, decency, dignity, respect and restraint

Even a fun Saraswatichandra would then operate within these parameters

NOT as kartar Singh eve teasing Kumud in a market place

And NOT as Saras Mausi or whoever he is becoming.

This is just shoddy writing. Poor imagination and piggy backing

on the talent and popularity of Gautam Rode

They have not developed any parallel comic character,

So comedy also now poor Saras has to provide

Remember the bhajan ki CD Radha track - it was funny, cute

and we had sunny to bring in the comic relief

Without compromising on Saras's character .

Now the cvs have not brought in any new character

No relatives friends coming in for the wedding

Gyanchatur, Chandrika, Sunny all lay forgotten

Danny and yash have been turned serious and goody two shoes

Bewakoofi karne ke liye bacha kaun

One in number mr Gautam rode , all in one package hai

Sab kuch badhiya karta hai, karne do!

Consistency and character - babaji ka thullu

And with that ladies and gentlemen I rest my case

And stop my rant till the next time mr rode is asked to do some other stupid antic

By the oh so brilliant writers ! ! !

Saras 1,0 will be back soon as his character is influenced by who is aroundhim. Now that LN and Gumaan would be back I believe he willnot feel so free as it is now, I prefer the serious but mischievous Saras. Loud Saras does not fit the character.

I have serious doubts about the old Saras ever coming back

This cross dressing sardar is not going away, abhi aur horrors unleash hone baki hain

I cannot imagine things getting much worse than this...Arshi I hope something gives. Maybe we'll get yet another set of writers next... in the merry go round... Maybe Utkarsh Naithani will come back...

Santhi, I just came back here to comment on your original post.

Well-said, and what a labour of love...😊

Really I dont think us Saras fans have much to look forward to as this crop of writers dont know much about him. I remember GR saying in some iv that once an actor has gotten into the character, he/she should know more about the character than even the writers. Considering he had gotten into the role so well, I am sure he sure he must be missing Saras almost as much as us, if not even more... 😔

My keen appreciation of Saras is partly due to my having a Saras-type person in my life. And all I can say is that when Saras loosened up, he would probably feel OK making a fool of himself in front of Kumud, but never ever ever in public, a la Kartar, or this latest haldi avatar. This is daylight murder of a much-loved character by a bunch of irresponsible people (PH, writers, director, whoever).
