The Armaan Anomaly : Amnesia And Beyond :)

hmm...so we've all read the TB Article on Armaan and his Amnesia...and we're all still reeling under the shock of it...i can imagine how many of us may have shriafter reading the concept planned for us, while others would have been left utterly speechless with incredulity...i must admit that i belong to the latter category...it seemed like DMG was poised to churn out more 9th July's, to scramble our brains...but after i cooled off for a few minutes, i asked myself if any sense lay in crying foul before having had a chance to see exactly what is being given to us...😳
Amnesia is not alien to Indian Television, and has been most common in the Kekta phenomenon, which we're all so desperate to dissociate from DMG...it's different, we say...then why should one article be enough to shake our faith in it? it's cliched, i'll give you that...but who says a cliched theme must necessarily be handled in a cliched manner? my point is, that it all really boils down to how such a storyline will be handled by the creative team...if they take it the Ektaish way, then there's no hope...but if they adopt a fresh approach, it might actually make good stuff to watch...😊
as a single instance, since we've been discussing relationships so much in the past few weeks, this particular turn of events could give insight into the personalities of Armaan and Riddhima along with all the interns like never before, as they come together to handle a situation as sensitively as they can...it'll bring the entire hospital together, and could be made to explore dimensions of friendship and love that we have not seen before...tw...of course, this is all conjecture, and just one little bit of the many possibilities that do exist and could be carried out...and all this, if the creatives choose to handle it well...
bottom line : this is something very unexpected...but if we've stood by DMG so far, appreciated it, criticised it, loved it, detested it, i think we should wait a while to see what they're giving us, before we jump the gun and run amok hungry for some DMG-Creative blood...
just wanted to be a little positive, since i saw so many incredulous and sad comments on the TB article and this forum...no harm harbouring a little hope, right?
cheers! 😃

hey nandini........ 😊 biig jhappi to u for the positive look at things
i must admit,ever since i heard the news, im not very happy about it..loosing memory is, like u said, the most cliched idea in indian television..ekta kapoor,being the most famous for it..and i do agree with u that if the treatment given is different, it could prove to be interesting..
however, dmg does have the habit of messing up all potentially wonderful tracks, so i definitely do not want to see mindless stuff here.personally,the thought of the flirty, cool armaan is a welcome..plus it is very interesting to think that riddhima will be chasing armaan for a change..that's something we've never seen.. plus, this could probably highlight to riddhima, what armaan really means to her,and how much he has changed for her.all in all, it is , like u said technically a good twist, with a lot of potential.whether it lives upto that, however, remains to be seen.

thanks so much for replying...and your state of confusion is exactly what i went through when i first read the article, and what prompted me to make this post...i wouldn't say i'm totally sorted right now either, to be honest...but i just thought that it'd be easier for us to handle something so unexpected if we could devise a way of looking at it that would make it seem a lot less ridiculous than we think it is...😊
i just thought injecting a positive note wouldn't harm anyone...i just hope the creatives keep up the improvement shown in the past month or so, and give us something that transcends the cliched...hard to find that very likely at this point, but well...let's just wait and see before losing our senses as quickly as Armaan loses his memory...😛
cheers! 😃

Anishaa...!! 🤗 big jhappi to you for that reply...and as always, you've said everything i would have wanted to say...i second you on every single point you've made...the thought of having a peppy and nonchalant Armaan sounds fun, and yes, the AR role reversal of sorts can be very interesting...it could give a mint fresh lease to their story...and explore more dimensions of their relationship...along with what it really means to Riddhima...like you said, it has potential as a track, cliched though it may be...i just hope the creatives tap it well this time...i agree that they've had a knack for messing things up before...but i'll say again that there have been moments in this past month or so of DMG which have really plesantly surprised me...if they can just keep up with that kind of improvement, we might have some decently good stuff waiting for us in the weeks to come...tw...
as for now, let's just wait and watch...😊
cheers! 😃

yipee i was eagerly awaiting yur post lol specially after the previous one . you took the words right out of my mouth, i mean we have stood my dmg through thick and thin during the good and the bad and we shall continue to stick by it. omg hahah that sounded like marriage vows. i mean i was stunned after reading the article, but hey we gotta look at the bright side of the situation as you sed, theres no point complaining cz hey we cant change the story line. we can just eagely await to see the outcome, and im sure it will be totally cute to watch AR falling in love all over again

much love hannah xxx

ps i dont quite have an opinion yet on the situation, cz they havent shown anything about it yet.

This is so insane! But I think they will do the whole memory loss thingy in a very humourous way. I think the creatives are doing this to bring some zing back into the show.(not that I was complaining about the lack of it !)

Well, it is true that Riddhima needed to realise that Armaan truly loves her and only her. I suppose by making Armaan lose his memory, the creatives will bring the naughty , flirty, always fooling around Armaan back. Riddhima on seeing this,will realise how much Armaan had actually changed for her in the last 1 year. Eventually Armaan will get his memory back wherein he will remember EVERYTHING and he will also realise that Riddhima does love him and she did so much to get him to love her again and that all the things she said to him on the terrace before he lost his memory were in a fit of anger. Phew!!
I think we will get to see a lot of funny scenes all over again. This time they will have to do it a little differently! Imagine how Atul will react when he sees Armaan flirting with Anjali!! Riddhima's reaction when she sees Armaan flirting will also be funny! Hope sister Lovely comes back! Above all Dr Abhimanyu is going to see Dr. Armaan in a very different form!!!! For all we know Armaan may be faking this memory loss since he feels that it is one way of staying away from Riddhima as she does not like him. He may have managed to convince Dr. Shashank about his loss of memory too! Our Armaan is capable of doing anything😉 This way it will not be Ektaish at all. What say people?!
The good news is as the creative head said in the TB article, This will lead to a new love blossoming between AR. As long as AR are together I am happy. As they say, All is well that ends well😊😛😊
So cheer up everybody!! This is going to be fun!

heyy...thanks! 😊 it might sound like marriage vows, lol, but it's true...we really have seen ups and downs, and really ups, and really downs as well...but we're still here, because we gave the show a chance...i think this would be a great time to do that...since, like you said, nothing has been shown of this new flavour yet...i think we should give it a taste before rejecting it as outrightly insane...there are chances of that happening too, of course, i'm not denying that, but then, there are equal chances for this to turn out pretty well...so why not hold our horses for now, and receive this phase with an open mind...never hurts to be a little positive na...
cheers! 😃

exactly, and im pretty sure no matter where the story takes us AR will definately 100% get together in the end, so im not worried about that. i guess maybe the creatives took some time and actually thought for once about the storyline hehe 😆, and werent constructing it when they were sleepy. Hey i wanna know your opinion on todays episode, i mean i am eagerly awaiting wednesdays epi, but i thought it was pretty stupid of the CVs not to mention forget mention not to give the slightest glimpse of Armaans accident, i mean it was a major accident and todays epi depicted nothing whatsoever about it. but hey i guess maybe they are turning over a new leaf on wednesday so hopefully the storyline will have some sense of flow for once. i must admit though todays abhi and niki scene i dunno but i didnt find it cute but hey maybe i guess cz im not a AN fan that could be why, but i felt it didnt have that magic.

Ooops im like changing your post, asking you 21 different qs on things that arent even associated with your post, please dont mind

much love hannahxxx --stay lovely 😊
