Is there any ML with a backbone on Starplus? Jhanak, Ghum and Armaan are all spineless and get manipulated by others so easily

Me too , I saw ppl giving credits to Garima for the trp raise in trp thread for her great creativity, so thought of giving it a try couldn’t watch that toxicity and cringe for long. Only 4-5 episodes and am done, I couldn’t take such horrible creativity .i can’t take these shows or actors seriously that I wish the show to end just because I don’t like some plots ,I will just leave that show and forget about it. And this Jhanak has no creativity because it’s sasta copy of Imlie 😂

I like to know just how much creativity does it take to copy paste another show and make it 10 times more toxic and vile. Stuff like stone pelting a woman to death.. that must be the peak of creativity. Or may be fooling your fiancé and romancing someone else behind her back might be.

As I said I only watched a few episodes , couldn’t bear those cheaters and their cringe for long. If the so called leads are married to each other why is Khanak a maid in that house ?? Why is that loser Ani getting engaged to Arshi and planning to marry her ?? Few days back He n PL had Ashirwad ceremony too in front of his wife? Not so long back he was hugging PL saying “mein tumahare bina jee nahi sakthi Arshi , ILU” ?? And not so innocent Jhanak is peeping through their door and watching her husband hugging and romancing another women ?? So who’s cheating who ? May be Jhanak and Ani r cheaters and losers but not having EMA as he is not married to Arshi yet ? I wonder if he will still continue to romance his old wife Jhanak in front of his love his new wife Arshi too ? Math is mathing?? Math will be mathing perfectly if that loser Ani will be sent to jail for cheating his wife and would be wife.

The writing was great and the living room drama with Sai spilling truth bombs

were the best. Plus the lead spend time with each other and the ML supported her

it was that balance that kept the show in that position for close to a year or more

Toxicity isn't the issue but is the kind that is acceptable and there has to be balance

it there's not balance then it isn't fun and the story isn't moving

sorry to jump into your conversation. Was reading your posts and I have always wondered about what works in these serials. I have not watched Ghum, but follow Jhanak On and Off, can’t stand Bose family but love Ani-Jhanak scenes. So I thought will add my 2 cents on Bold above. I agree with everything that you have said, toxicity is never an issue with audience. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter what kind of toxicity though or whether it is acceptable or not as long as it is called out by one of the leads..

Take Jhanak for instance, they show extreme scenes and then balance it out by either Jhanak or Ani speaking out against it and that works for audience I guess. Take for example, marriage reversal rasams they showed, Bose took Jhanak to a Ghaat (river bank) and did pooja with literally bangle breaking and sindoor mitana in a temple with Panditji, she endured all that silently but then when she was told to wear white Sari she spoke up and refused saying I won’t do it as it symbolises that Ani is dead and how can you as family make me do that. So in this whole toxic fiasco we see Jhanak’s suffering, her taking stand for Ani’s well being and then Ani jumping in river to save Jahank. All ticks for a great recipe I guess.

And for leads too, there is a balance in their behaviour to each other too. they show Ani and Jhanak being extremely rude to each other in one instance and then going extra mile to care for each other the next, which kind of gives an impression to audience that even though leads are being jerks now but they do care for each other and their behaviour is stemming out of jealousy/helplessness in love etc, probably something the TRP audience don’t mind 🤷‍♀️

Also bad characters are bad, they are not grey. I think no one here would defend Bose behaviour at any point.

Also as you said for Ghum, in Jhanak too Ani and Jhanak both drop truth bombs on Bose and Shirsti. Those scenes are really fun to watch. And Ani literally is the most ardent champion of Jhanak’s career more than Jhanak herself. He wants to see her reach the heights of success and in monologues says things like I will be the happiest and will silently watch you from afar when you are famous. I think he gets a lot of brownie points with TRP audience for that inspite of scenes like throwing bank paper in Jhanak’s face 🙄 so balance is definitely the key.

Sorry my 2 cents turned out really long.

Finally I do think Garima’s aesthetic scenes add to the mix. From camera angles to costumes (mind you Jhanak mostly is in ordinary clothes but her choice of colors etc make the scene visually appealing I guess) to songs everything just lift up the scenes and bring out the emotions. And that is why when you see stand alone clips it makes you go and check out the rest. I think Garima did that for yrkkh too previously but look at it now, I think it misses that oomph.

Yo, got a legit q: I don't watch this show anymore, but saw on a forum that Madhav might get Abhira back in the next update. But peeps are saying no way, she's got self-respect now and ain't going back to that house, she's high-value FL, yada yada. Fair enough, if she doesn't come back, kudos to the writers. But if they make her come back, then what? They will totally flip it and say, "Look, the divorce didn't fully happen, she's still his wife." I'm betting this defense will come up. Just my take, but I could be wrong. Maybe they won't show her coming back. 🤷‍♀️

I kinda agree with u. I follow Jhanak on & off. The show is toxic af, but it's getting trp numbers. U can disagree, but the audience is eating it up. The show isn't even prime time & it dethroned a 15-year legacy show. Gotta admit, Rishta's story sucks rn. Yelling 'legacy legacy' won't give u numbers. Being blunt, Jhanak it's a copy-paste of OG Imlie, and the 10 pm slot is getting top 2, but Rishta's been struggling from the start with a max of 2.3. The fault lies with the makers & writers. The characters' execution sucks, costumes suck, and the story's going nowhere. Everyone's either dumb, clueless, or annoying. What's their selling point? It's just running cuz people have 15 years of attachment to it & RS is a big name in Sitara. Otherwise, many shows come & go. U can't disagree, Gen 4 sucks in everything. They're just copying from other shows without a brain

Never watched OG imlie, so no clues if Jhanak is a copy of that. I know Imlie was based on some Leena Bengali show and Jhanak is also a Leena show, so may be she is just churning the same content in a new bottle. Btw I have read Leena is known for showing extremely regressive content in her Bengali shows.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Yrkkh gen 4 has literally nothing to offer, and it is getting whatever TRP it is gets because it has legacy audiences and starplus isn’t touching it because of favouritism towards RS. If it wasn’t RS legacy show, it would have been shelved a long ago. They have lost the plot and it is just a drag now.
