Sometimes, I wonder what is sony thinking exactly. It has the lowest ratings and even the highest rated shows are considered below average among other channels. More so, no other channel pulls their shows off as abruptly as sony does.
Dharmi was necessary in order for aru and mukhi to come together but it remains to be seen where they go with her track. Even though I hate her, I think some episodes are needed, so she can own up her mistakes, grow up and take responsibility for her actions. Instead of wasting an entire track showing her plotting with raami and trying to come in between armu, show dharmi realizing how selfish she is and she is the reason for her own misery. If this is show is indeed coming to an end, then they should work on tying loose ends-not stretching tracks for silly drama or ratings(which they obviously won't get)
Since the ratings are always so low, why can't they just come up with some finite serials? while shows like Pehredar piya ke can appeal to the trp aunties, shows like YMMKD can cater to a niche audience. if they suddenly pull the plug on shows with low ratings in order to replace with something else, then why not just come up with a limited number episodes so it can be given a clean ending? Every show seems to be disposable to sony., an experiment which has already proven to be unsuccessful.
For YMMKD. Writers did not have a finite number of episodes in mind, otherwise they would not have opened so many tracks at the beginning. The thought process while penning down the basic plot may have been, "let's plan a buzzilion tracks and hope we can drag this show for 2 years." clearly, that backfired and now they can't even focus on each track properly. If this is indeed coming to an end, then let's hope they at least give the show a dignified exit.
With the timeline it is on, writers could have given us a beautiful love story had they planned everything with diligence and focus, we didn't need so many extra tracks and unnecessary vamps. Aru and Mukhi adjusting to each other and their sudden marriage could have provided enough [realistic] conflict. Nevertheless, the show was going pretty well until recently. Writers seem to have lost their way and despite having so many left over tracks, they keep on opening new ones. Depending on how much time is left, can they neatly wrap up each track? what should they focus on? tying up lose ends or developing Armu's relationship, which, needs work.
Some things writers could have done
- Use Mishri as a medium to introduce Aru and mukhi, when her purpose was finished, marry her off and send her to the U.S with her NICE in laws. instead they made her in laws greedy just so they can show us track with her evil saas-sasur.which did not happen.
- Completely cut off Arjan and Uma abuse track, in fact just cut out both of them as they serve no purpose.
- Keep raami but get rid of laalji, she could be resentful towards mukhi for ruining her life and sending laalji to jail( to avoid loose ends, laaliji could have died in prison) it would be better than him disappearing in thin air.
- Saanvi's track could have been a nice parralel track, along with her helping armu.
- completely focus on Aru trying to achieve her dreams, mukhi's support and the ups and downs associated with it
- Focus on the core premise of the show, 2 different people from different generations and different worlds making a life together, show the struggles, compromises and adjustment required.
- reduce the infinite numbers of attacks on aru, which lead nowhere
