I agree. The leads chemistry in 4 Lions is memorable, but that's how you'll remember it. It's like, Maan/Geet were so hot. Arnav/Khushi were awesome (that's the general thought process, i'm not an ardent fan of either couples). Whereas, with Ekta's serials, you think of it as the serial, not as the pairing, because there is a story (even if it goes downhill after a certain point).
Ekta has been doing for decades...her shows and leading pair are still fresh in memories even though they have ended...thats the power of her shows...she creates such memorable moments that leaves a impact in our hearts even though the show ends
That's true. Everyone remembers KSBKBT, KZK, KTH, KYPH etc. Ekta is the queen of drama. That nobody can deny.
one point of time...shows does get drag and ruined...noone have control over it...mainly after main leads consummation...the show slides down in every shows...they need a high-voltage drama to stay in charts or a leap where two couples will be focus the main lead and parallel lead...
Yup, if her show runs for longer than a year, it will inevitably get ruined. This is a trend in Ekta's serials. Nobody can deny that either. 😛Ekta knows how to glue her views and only she could create those small touching moments...and intense leads chemistry
I dunno about "intense" but I can say that Ekta creates beautiful love stories. Whereas, 4 Lions creates intense chemistry. The chemistry between the leads in Ekta's serials is full of emotion, full of beauty.
after KTH(Ekta most popular show)...YHM(Ekta show again) has the best trps in 11 pm slot...its a over a decades now...many shows has been slotted in this 11pm timing...they all fail...that shows the power of Ekta's shows...
Ekta really knows how to glue viewers to the tv screen. Nobody can deny that either. YHM is a matured love story b/w parents-kids and it handles bold subject on Divorces...Extra-Marital Affairs...Re-Marriages...Infertile...not a romantic comedy...4 Lions will fail completely in handling the show and the maturity content...
It is a mature love story, but I'm not expecting much if this show runs for over a year. Once Raman and Ishita fall in love, then they're going to stop trusting each other (a trend in Ekta's serials), misunderstandings will start, separations, leaps, etc. So I'm not hopeful for it to be handled maturely in the long term. But yes, 4 Lions shows can't handle mature topics sensitively. At least it couldn't in their last three popular shows.
by the way 4 Lions copy Ekta trend only...it was Ekta who introduce the concept of grey/dark shade hero falling in love with a simple beautiful girl...she started the trend...and each and every PH house copies her trend...even 4 Lions😆
I won't say 4 Lions or anyone copied Ekta's trend. Grey/dark shaded boys and innocent girls go centuries back. Ekta could have copied lots of movies/shows. 4 Lions male leads are more superficial though. It's like, they try and make them a type of "hot, angry young man who young girls drool over". It's not healthy. At least in YHM, Raman's disgusting nature is not being romanticized (minus the manhandling of Ishita, I still can't get over that).
I am a huge fan of Ekta, I really am. I love her shows. Kasautii Zindagi Kay is still my favourite show of all time and when I rewatch the episodes, I still cry despite how stupid it is. But I have no faith in Ekta. She ruins all her shows and butchers all her character's at one point in time. The first year of her serials are truly beautiful though. There are shows like KMH1/KMH2 and Tere Liye which didn't run for longer than a year that were thankfully beautiful from beginning to end.
