ichcha's track will dip the TRP'S:Mod's note PG2 - Page 7

Well, TRP's must be at an all time high as Tapasya is in Jail.

For all of my esteemed forum members, I have been reading your comments with great interest, sometimes with amusement and sometimes sadly.

May I as someone who has worked with Television from the day it started in 1992 when we had only 4 channels (Metro, DD, Zee and Star) make an observation.

It is absolutely true that TRP's drive the serial and the producers add, change and do whatever is necessary to raise those TRP's because higher TRP's mean more advertising and that is more money for the channel

I can accept when most of you make remarks on the moral issues but not by addressing them to the characters, please please remember it is the producers, scriptwriters who have taken it upon themselves to make these issues and not the actor or the character that they play. The Uttaran creative team are the self appointed moral police and to be fair not all the issues are morally incorrect - they have righted some of the wrongs.

I would like to classify the Uttaran team (like the other serial teams) as

PRODUCER/ SCRIPTWRITER - Responsible for the storyline (good or bad regardless of the original reason they started the show) and responsible for any moral issues that are involved in the show.

DIRECTOR - Responsible for the acting (he/she should bring out the best in the weaker actors or replace them if they can't) the pace of the serial (sometimes the camera pans to all the faces and the silences are so long that we lose 2 episodes)

ACTORS - Difficult as this is very subjective so I will give my own opinion.

Take the case of Jogi Thakur (I remember him as an actor with very small roles in Hindi films that did not have an impact on me). However here in Uttaran he is very good as his character and with the least amount of over-acting manages to convey his part.

Most of the others not just in this serial spend hours looking unhappy (which is fine with me as this must be what the role demands) but why can't they differ the expressions.

Ichcha - The director has done a very bad job with her. She has her 4 famous movements.
Bite lips - this means she is in pain.
Lower lip quiver - crying buckets.
Eyes suddenly open - Surprise or shock!!!
Sad face - This has become her trademark.

I am absolutely sure if directed properly she could do better or she might be fantastic in some other role. As an actor she should insist on doing her bit as does Jogi Thakur. I could go on and on about the others too but these are only examples.

Tappu is in Jail and the TRP's are soaring but I actually felt bad for a while for her because she looked terrified of being in jail. Now that is acting well because she deserved to go to jail for her misdemeanors as per the storyline. Regardless of whether viewers like Tappu or not it is more entertaining to watch her for a variety of reasons.

Look what they have done to Ichcha - stuck away again in one corner as the dutiful widow with no real attitude. Her character may be a good person but where is the fire.

Viewers watch programmes for a mix of all ingredients and with Ichcha the producers have reduced her to a sad sad figure. Whether I like her acting or not I feel very bad for her. If she can't stand up as Ichcha let her as Tina tell the producers - enough is enough.


Movie reviews are acceptable and some of the best stars have had terrible reviews written about them. I think it is time for TV serial reviews to be published so that we can see a marked improvement in storyline, direction and acting.
Thank you for your patience if you did read this. I will not be seeing the next 2 episodes so maybe someone in the Forum can give an update which I will read on Monday.

Hopefully things will begin to look up for Uttaran............

Once again this is my view and mine alone and not aimed at anyone personally.


somesome

very well said..the makers of the show refuse to give the main lead a spine,its not the actor's fault..i agree tht rashmi is a very good actor..bt tht dsnt mean tht the lead of the show has to be reduced to a pathetic figure like in here..the worst was the revelation of vansh's death..even divya had more reaction thn ichha...and this is the director's doing according to me..ichha had no reaction whatsoever!!

I see frustration, anger, irritation, indignance in your comments and I can only assume that the storyline is not progressing in the direction most viewers would like.

Who to Blame????? [/B][/U] Can the Uttaran team give us any answer? I think not ---because they themselves do not know. They make up the story as they go along to ensure the serial keeps up the TRP's.

And the TRP's are high because of us viewers---- somewhere in the back of our minds we keep hoping the they will improve the character of Ichcha, see that Tappu has a hard time for all her deeds, etc etc. So in a way we are giving these people what they want but not really getting what we want in exchange.[B][U]

With so much talent in the country - I wonder where it all is?? It is there and the tragedy is that producers and directors are so concerned with TRP's that they not doing justice to the actors. A real pity!!!!!.

What more is left to say?

yah anu .they seemed to be in a hurry while writing n shooting the scene, they just concentrated on Taps ,veer N jogi's slap.....was It deliberate😕..

now Tina is not that bad an actress although not as gud as Rashmi..that she cud not b shown reacting to watching her hubby's suicide😲.....
I remember the way she had broken down after giving Tapasya her wedding dress n she was inside the room while that devil got married to Veer😡

n she acted well in that silent n shocked scene wen dead vansh was brought to Bundela House....no dialouges but really well done👏

yah I agree with u ....specially u must have seen how they ruined the character of vansh....so much scope was there to show a nice story plus a message that addicts cud recover, cud find love n life😕 n den they did a u turn ..n changed him into a psycho, who plots with the precision of an experienced terrorist😲

Such a talented Rohit Khurana is..👏..n such a waste of his talent that ended with Vansh's suicide😭
