Dear creatives,
Time has come to take some risks. And I'll tell you why I think so.
You created a show which was neither extra-ordinary or path breaking. But it was different from most shows - People spoke normally, had some real situations/conversations, leads with great chemistry, good ensemble of cast, no supernaturals, no vicious villains who always won, no leaps... it was largely a simple show.It was flawed but was refreshingly a happy show with ordinary drama, a scenario grossly missing on TV. You showed promise.
There were only two ways to go from there:
1) Succumb to TRP pressure and diviate from what you want to show. You'll get TRP but that's it. Your show won't be remembered. Which is happening now. 1.5 years, reasonably popular, decent TRP. Is that enough? If yes, you need not read any furthur :) Good luck!
If not,
2) You had your highest TRP in January when you told your story quite well. You gave some memorable scenes/incidents. Audience is really not stupid. They don't love dadi as you think, they love their protagonists coming out as winners. Which they did in Jan. Hence, the TRP.
But what you did?
You slowly made all your characters boring and uni-dimensional.
The conflicts are superficial. The situations are superficial. The relationships are superficial.
How will such a show leave a mark or stay in the memories of audience? What is there is to fondly recall about it?
You know,to be a genuinely good show, you should create negative characters which'd make us want to see what they do next. Make us curious about their next moves. What do we get? Them mixing jadi-bhuti, fighting on make-up, acting to faint all freakin' time?
We don't want Ekta style impossible villians but you can keep your villians as strong personalities of their own, not some useless, jobless bimbos after protagonist's life just for the sake of it. #Epicfail on villains part. You had great supporting cast but you ignored them. Hence, the better actors left.
Let me elaborate on the superficiality of your writing for your leads:
a.Yuvraj in hospital, a broken man who went through so much to reach his love and confessed. What do we get?
The very next day his bandages are off and it's necklace losing drama. Why were bandages off? Because, that's just for confession scene, enough sympathy generated, so take them off now. Do you think viewers will connect with such randomness?
okay, consider we forgive these glitches. What do the couple do after such a big change in their life? Nothing. Everything went into Ragini creating the stupidest of situations to stop marriage or menka stealing necklace.
b.When Yuvraj saved Suhani in Suhagi, that was well handled - the way they hugged, showed the fear of losing each other. But it was soon forgotten. Why?
Because, you shifted tracks without giving it a proper closure. Not one memorable incidence where it showed how the trauma affected the leads, specially Suhani, or how Yuvraj lent support.
Where is the continuation? Where is a connect?
There are numerous such instances which make you lose connection with story in an instant.
You don't even make your leading man talk to himself or wonder out loud or have a strong personality.
You dilute others to highlight your female lead. Which means you can't handle too many strong characters at a time or have them clash with each other. Really?!
Please NOTE that we do not want Y-S romancing all the time or just their scenes. We kept asking for them because we always got confusing, half-baked scenes with nothing preceding or succeeding them with a build-up. And they were sidelined time and again to highlight the background drama...when it should be the case in reverse.
You keep drama in background for the story of your leads not your leads in background for drama of side characters.
You have 5 couple on show and none are exciting us. Bhavna-Sharad are in limbo too. It's always Ragini-Menka on focus. But THEY are not exciting, they are boring. They have no life. They have no personality. They've nothing.
You don't have much at stake given how you are in SCARCE need of storylines... you've run for 1.5 years already, it'll end sooner or later, why not take a risk and try to make show memorable? Why not experiment and create exciting personalities/lives to your characters?
Or revamp n restart with same cast?
Right now, with the present scenario, it is stagnant and I'm getting nothing as a viewer except headache.Have stuck long enough for the actors. Not anymore.
You've been lucky to have a patient n understanding fanbase. If you lose it, it's only your loss.
P.S: The show left me cold on and off-screen. I know this is the last time I'm bothering to write an essay for this show. My last ditch attempt for having followed so long. Feel free to add people...
