Hello Dears,
My post would be going against the grain, but I am also confident that
this forum is secular enough to welcome different opinions and actually
think about it instead of lashing blindly...
There is a clamor for closing down of Rahul track, a graceful bowing out
of Rahul ...which I do not think is possible in the current format..for
one Shanak have been on for almost a year and if they continued to show
Shanak , there is a possibility of Shanak fatigue...By introducing
another lead , Creatives can keep the passion for Shanak intact while at
the same time explore and expand their territories ...Going by many
threads that demands the presence of Shanak , one must say this tactic
has worked to some extent .
Shanak are the main leads, but he cannot be shown to be a goody-goody,
Mr.Perfect lover and an irresponsible man all the time, Layers should
be added to the character, sometimes good and sometimes bad..this layer
has to shown growing or a new fresh layer must be seen growing out of
the old discarded and venal layer.The Cv's are doing just that, they are showing or showed a different facet of Shan...
The CV's did not err by showing a ballistic Shan ,that he is possessive
of Khanak has been shown in many scenes [the garage scene, or the
discussion about Suhag Raat ]..keeping this view Shan was in character
when he blasted her where the CV's erred was in not showing him blasting
off the person/person's responsible for the deed.They can still redeem
this by showing him penitent , by making him realize the gravity of
Khanak's feelings..perhaps under the advice of Anand .
As for Rahul and his many liaisons..As I had already said he is needed
to give a new impetus to the show, and he should be , should have been a
welcome addition for while Shan is a fluffy featherweight, a shining
beam, a light provider, Rahul is shown to be a man of depth, a dark
avenger , a ruthless man...he should have been the ideal counterpoint to
Shan ...The CV's either miscalculated or were clueless or the actor was
unable to bring about the varied nuances of Rahul..They should have
made him a Grey shaded one throughout or they should have shown him to
be a good man having a need for revenge only on Shaan, by including
Khanak and Duck, Rahul was shown to be a manipulator and by hiring
Sunny, Rahul degenerated into a immoral man who will destroy an
innocent's life just to get his fix of revenge ...Had they continued in
this vein..it would have been accepted , although there would have many
threads reviling Rahul , Viewer's would have looked out for the day when
Shan would deliver a stinging blow which will shatter Rahul to
smithereens ...But That was not to be...The CV's as usual gave a knee
jerk reaction and turned him positive in a hurry ,, the result being one
is not able to empathize with him or even feel Sorry for him.....I think one
way of decreasing the hostile reception on Rahul would be for Rahul to
approach Shanak and seek their forgiveness ..in simple heartfelt manner .
IMO , Both Shan and Rahul are needed, one pair which shows love in
bright light, understanding and unconditional while another pair shows
love with all its hidden insecurities, warts , egos and condition's. One
pair to denote a spiritual love, One pair to show the materialistic
love ..One pair to show that Love transcends all while the other pair
shows that love has its limitation's.....Yes !! This Serial has lots of
potential, will the CV's explore it ??
