In YUD we got to see the best ever male redemption track ever in desi sabun world thus far. Fandom's appreciation seems to have pumped up the CVs so much that they might give us another one. 😔
Once was enough CVs!! You messed up the Delhi track terribly. We were all looking forward to seeing Sam bonding with siblings and his mom and see their family dynamics. Not wig and Kedi antics with mawali folks thrown in. So much negativity and logic ki vaat totally killed the feel of the show and butchered characterizations. Now some characters are beyond redemption.
Your post reminded me of a meme..
Women are not rehab centres for badly raised men!!
The problem in narrating love stories in this format is the inability of CVs to strike a balance between showing a love story for its own merit and the angle of commerce. If truth be told most love stories should resolve or reach fruition in a matter of time..( read finite episodes). The conflict angle in love stories can be either intrinsic or extraneous or generally a combo of both. Once that is narrated, we should assume that they had a happily ever after or if they did not...a new serial can be made to get them back together 😆
But this desire to keep playing to the gallery causes the symptoms that you described in the post. Butchering and Martyrdom of characters. As for why the ML is an ideal candidate for butchering and FL ideal for martyrdom, just look around us... the conditioning in society. How many watched and understood BKK? & How many watch other long running sagas!!
In this connection, I have to mention EDKV...when it's promo rolled out..I remember dismissing it as one for the rehab centre..however later I was intrigued by the "Kaun Sumo?" question in its episode and decided to wait around. I was a bit apprehensive of the misogyny angle in the story becos to be honest.. I don't trust sabuns to do any justice to the theme and in the end I was right ( Shravan was shown as a terrible misogynist towards the end but the sadder part was he was made to say sorry to the woman who abandoned him... it was one of the most bizarre plot twists ever!!). Having said that... the story of Sumo never revealed itself to us...Frankly she was a fascinating character, beautifully flawed and glorious at the same time. so much so that I don't think many understood her. The forum was always split between the lead characters and sometimes I feel Jha just gave up on trying to convey Sumo's POV since very few were getting it. He chose the regular path and Ofc the rest is history!!
I don't think many got it that Sumo's only desire was being loved for her own sake by that one individual Shravan..the whole world may ask things of her but her Shravan will understand her...In a narrative, it's tuf to translate that... Jha attempted it thru a dramatic scene Badi Sumo and Choti Sumo convo after Shravan runs amock in her workplace but I don't think many got the essence of that scene. Anyways, my larger point is viewers largely don't delve deep into the characters if written subtly and makers don't persist in narrating well either. So, makers just stick to formulaic stories... a man to be redeemed and a woman to the rescue!! They all want to open rehab centres!!
