Deepa ...I think there are two ways to explain this...one way is how Jyothi put it...thanks Jyothi- I liked the way in a concise and practical way how you put it across...
The other way is Star One made a decision to go the 'college' 'teenager' way and they have only had success with college shows when they have 2 couples...at this point other than Geet no show is giving them the required TRPS and they have lost two other shows- DMG and MJHT both very college shows - so they took the show with least TRPs (sadly RBO) and said make this into college feel....
Now the Production House is left with "ab kya karen????" ,,,,so they thought chal lets make lemonade with lemons given to us.....and their lemonade is this...whatever that this is...some may say OTT nonsense, some may say WOW loving this OTT, while some may say lets wait and watch becos this production house can do a good job....they have proved it with RBO before...in many ways, of course they do not want to loose their original viewers and thus they are trying hard to balance it all....
Ab the choice is our;s ...ya we stop watching or vent at Critics Corner or stop venting and enjoy the show for what it is and has become...I personally feel that there is a disconnect because Swapna is no more the series director...and that is a fact...and the original dialogue writers have changed....this has been discussed at length....like I said this is my personal feel...
As an original viewer of RBO (believe me right from day 1) I have come up with the above to help me understand what has happened....again now upto you...take it or leave it...😛
