Can this show survive without Anuj? - Page 2

Anu managing alone won't work for more than 1 month. Then to keep the show afloat they have to introduce a leap. YRKKH is based on multiple marriages, divorces, miscarriages. So leaps work in YRKKH. I am not sure whether it will be same for Anupama. CA getting married in an orthodox family and trying to break free does not sound interesting at least to me. Currently the makers have no future story. They don't even know what to do with Kinjal baby or the Shahs.

and see that’s their trouble. They cannot weave in a story with shahs being relevant anymore. They aren’t relevant because she left that house. That story ended there.

But I guess friendship beats all money everything!

Yrkkh worked because that was the genre and the base. Imlie has now tried it (also age factor) and I think the TRPs will tell in about 1-2 weeks of how that’s going.

Also, leap comes in when the tracks have been exhausted and to bring up spice. Just like what they did here with AK’s character. But right now, the story doesn’t need one. It needs to tie all the open ends and show the story moving. But all it shows is shah. All tracks end up at shahs and some silly khichdi is shown which results in TRPs drops and they are back to creating more tracks. And in this drama, they don’t want to highlight maAn at all. CA is for Anuj but has spent more time with/at the shahs up until now; pakhi is shah but is spending time with the kapadia’s and Anuj is lost and anupama is running around like a headless chicken. What nonsense!

In the original the Shahs were sidelined after the marriage. But here due to anokha dosti RS ain't doing this. It not possible to move the story forward with Shah's as the main focus. I remember YRKKH had a spin off show. Why can't RS make a spin off show of Anupama with SP as the only hero. SP is a popular actor. He has worked in Hollywood. Why is he sharing screen space with chote mote actors like Rupali and Gaurav? He deserves his own show.

Running around like a headless chicken 🤣🤣 yeah , that describes her aptly ....

A headless chicken who goes around croaking surry, Surry ...

this is exactly what many were saying on twitter too!!

Also in yrkkh, they faded off the maheshwaris after first 2 small leaps and completely after akshara’s charac ended. Then they faded off sighanias once naira and naksh were married (at a much faster speed)

Then there was a spin off because they thought that one charac could be explored which they did but there also lower TRPs and the pandemic/lockdowns didn’t help their cause. Shaheer was fab there too just not utilised well.

They have 2 options here really: spin off or make him a full blown villain. And honestly, villains are loved to be hated types. Like people still talk about komolika, imagine!! They are a niche lot and this guy can show his “immense” potential there. But he won’t take this up because with all such “bad” characters, good wins over evil and his character will end faster than others. So. Don’t think he’s worried about stereotype here. Hence why he doesn’t refer to him as antagonist!

His full blown redemption could be another attempt to show his relevance and start a parallel story. For that they need atleast an episode or 2 of anupama calling all the shahs out. And them repenting. Just for 2 full episodes to begin with and see the trp reaction. But this ajeeb pendulum thingy is extremely silly and reflects poorly on the team (which I still think is fab. They are pressurised to write something relevant with him in it and that’s where they lose the whole plot!)

and that suri of hers is f****g annoying man if you ask me. I don’t see the point of HOW EVERYTHING is her responsibility. Baa-Babuji is her responsibility why? Their son is incapable? And why is her own mother not her responsibility? What about her own nephew? He’s not important but kinjal who has a god damn husband is her responsibility and to top it all, her kid is her zimedaari? What happens to parents of the child? They’ll sleep and produce more babies? Or stay in the penthouse drinking chai and discussing worldly affairs? LIKE WOW!

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE😭😭😭

Like Sue was right on twitter - her issues are caused by her own decisions (and lack of drawing boundaries) so it is extremely hard to sympathise or connect with her and that’s another issue of the mahaanta syndrome that they are hellbent in showing. Even from a drama pov, it makes zero sense

Her not mentioning her mom in her priority list is downright disgusting. Her mom is a poor widow living with her poor brother. Baa Bapuji has each other, their son and daughter. How is Baa, Bapuji her responsibility? Her sole focus now should be on her husband and kids. She can go see Baa Bapuji if they are severely I'll and her grandchild may thrice a week. Who keeps going to her ex sasural come maayka every single day? I don't even go to my balcony as frequently as she goes to Shah house.

This question is synonymous to: Can trees live without air?

I will bring the example of waxing and waning moon phases. The show started when Anupamaa was at rock bottom, gaslighted, orthodox, severely repressed and dependent and above all, stupid.

We liked how the show gave us hopes of turning her into a great woman. That was the waxing phase.

But all of the progressive steps used to crumble down to showing her as a superwoman who will achieve greatness but only after she has completed her household duties that the regressive society expects of her, so that everyone is happy.

Anuj was our endgame, saving grace and the only real progressive thing about the show till date has been Anupamaa's remarriage. The full moon.

Once Anuj's aspect is removed, there is nothing in the show worth saving. All characters in the show have erred beyond redemption and a sudden whitewash of them won't be acceptable. It will tumble to the waning phase with detoriating TRPs.

That's also why the Bengali original ended as soon as Anuj died with Anupamaa abandoning everything to go live a life without anyone's expectations.

Hence without Anuj, the show will either end or will have to revamp the story with all existing characters removed and something like Anupamaa making a life in a new city/country without anyone from her past or a leap with Anu Jr. as lead like YRKKH

I thought YRKKH won't be able to survive without Kaira but it is still surviving and is in top 5 shows. They killed off the male lead in Kundali Bhagya but the show is actually garnering a higher rating. So yeah here it may also work. But chances are a bit low as YRKKH fan base is not same as Anupama. But for it to work they obviously have to introduce a leap with new pair. Anupama without Anuj won't work at this stage. I just don't understand why are they hell bent on showing a leap. The show is topping the chart, getting decent ratings. Why this hurry to introduce a leap? Is the friend not happy with how the show is going?

Anupama alone in the show without Anuj will definitely flop... As I said the show will survive if the leads are completely replaced... A new set of fans for the new couple will come... of course none of us would be here... I agree that the revamp generally happens only if they have exhausted the story... but here there is a lot of potential which they don't want to show... Even I don't know why? MaAn as a couple weren't really explored before they were made parents... the rush is disappointing... but we really cannot do anything about it...

Anupama without Anuj will be so boring all we will see is anupama lectures.even The last 2 episodes without Anuj weren’t worth watching
