I don't usually post on the DT and I started watching the show fairly late. Initially, I thought thank god, this is going to be different, and then shit hit the fan. Is there a reason the makers of the show are okay with showing narratives that are so regressive? In what universe, is it okay for a MIL to pelt her DILs with marbles, or for a brother to tie up another brother and leave him in a well?!
I mean, I know they've shown a lot worse in the past (I still cringe when I watch the Dhara beating Shiva-Krish in haveli scenes), but can we please get storylines that actually matter? I understand daily soaps have a certain flair for the dramatic, but this is pushing it. They have such a rich cast with unique characters who have their own stories to tell. Raavi as a character gets completely ignored - there is so much they can do with her, and Alice is a good actress - right now she's being used a filler in scenes and its horrible - there is no growth to this character anymore. For once, I'd like someone to not call her dobi, or for the audience to get a track where we see Ravi shine, where she gets to use her brain and not just give reaction shots.
I'd like to see Shiva evolve beyond what they show us right now - the audience knows he isn't all brawn, maybe have him communicate just a little bit more? Use his words instead of his fists.
In the middle of all this nonsense we're being subjected to, Gautam, the strength of the Pandya family is lost. Where is the wise, gentle, older brother who could lead his family? They have him cowering behind his wife and being her mouthpiece, when they could have him leading from the front. There are so many themes in this show that are so so problematic, and Dhara's bhakti is one of them - they've overdone it.
Sometimes I think the FF writers on this forum should have been writing the show because they seem to understand the nuances of the characters better than the makers themselves.
Anyway, I needed to get this off my chest. Appreciate having the space to do so!
Cheers.
My mom who watches daily soaps since ekta era became fed up of dhara jaap.. She literally said Raavi ki story dikhani chahiye... Bahot kuch dikha sakte hai.. Nobody is interested in dhara.. She started watching zee wala show now.. Loyal audience still watches this crap but if they get something better they'll shift.. Even aunties are more interested in Raavi not just youth.. Makers are fool to not encash it.. That's why this off screen thing affecting onscreen potential comes in my mind.. It's very stupid of makers to make everything about dhara& neglect Raavi.. But that's how it is & that's how it's gonna be..
