Pyar Ke Saat Vachan Dharampatnii (2022)
Great Story but the writers lost the plot.
I've seen shows from Korea and Turkey with the same storyline, and even though the romance started before the true criminal was revealed, it never felt out of place.
Ravi was so intent on punishing the person who killed his fiancee, but by the second day Prita was in the house it seemed liked he had forgotten all about it.
The writers lost the plot, and wrote this show as if they had been guaranteed 1000 episodes. They need to change their strategy inorder to get the audience engaged.
Thai know that they only have 10 11/2 hour episodes, Korea 16 1 hour episodes and China 30 40 minutes episodes, and they write with that deadline in mind and knowing that there are other shows doing the same thing.
Length of shows seems to be India's problem. It is easy to see where the writers get ditached and just start throwing stuff on the wall hoping something will stick.
FK was amazing in this. Having already watched his other shows it is obvious that he had range.
Rang Jaun Tere Rang Mein (2022)
I need to understand India's obsession with killing their leads.
Someone help me understand why Indian writers are alergic to happy endings. Is killing their leads the only way they can do time jumps or extend their shows.
Or is it that by the time they reach the end of the storyline they had in mind they develop and enenimity with their characters and the only way to solve that issue is to kill them.
These days before I start watching an Indian series I look at the last episode first because there is no point getting invested when they are going to snatch your happy ending away.
Anyway the show was great until the death of the male lead, who gives his wife to his look alike. How bonkers is that? The second part of the show made no sense, it was completely irrelevant and not needed. If writing long shows is a problem, take South Korea and China's lead and set a specific number of episodes.
Imlie (2020)
ARYAN SIGH RATHORE IS A CHARACTER EVERY WRITER DREAMS ABOUT.
Clarification the 10 stars is for episode 310-578.
I didn't bother watching the first half of season one because of the reviews I saw. But the bits that I did see of Malini, I understood her and part of me feels like her actions were justified. If only she had a mother who would steer her in the right direction. In one night, she lost the life she had been living for almost a decade, and fought to get it back but in the wrong way.
This is where Imlie's immaturity comes in and I won't lie, I kept asking why won't Imlie leave Malini alone.
That said, Malini's return was unnecessary. There were so many missed opportunities with the miscarriage storyline. A whole journey that they failed to take us on.
Now ASR.
I have only see one other character that has literaly saved a show and that was Lorenzo Cuervas in Los Bastadors, played by Joseph Marco. Fahmaan Khan pulled off a stellar job in bringing out this character that lived in this grey area, not entirely right and not exactly wrong.
The write and actor collaboration on this character was one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever. He is an experience that everyone should get to have, a journey you should go on.
The changes that ASR brings to Imlie's character is amazing. He makes her grow up from this kid who wanted a toy that never belonged to her in the first place, to this focused, determined and admirable woman.
Fahmaan & Sumbul's chemistry is incredible. Like catching lightning in a bottle. It made the romance so bealivable, so beautiful and painful in the end.
Its sad how they ended Imlie and Aryan's story. The 5 year seperation was totally wasteful.
I didn't bother to watch the rest of it. For me it started in episode 310 and ended in 578.
Aashiqana (2022)
Great Start
Season 1-2 were amazing. A lot of unnecessary drama. Not sure why it took so long to reveal one particular issue. But it was a great story.
The nose dive started in the second half of season three and in season four they were completely submurged in the Atlantic with no hope of resurfacing or survival. It just shows how over dramatisation can destroy a good storyline.
The good stuff... season one is the best of them all, you could tell the writers were escited and ontop of their game. I also love how they broke the story down into seasons, and each had a different angle to it keeping the story fresh.
If only we could forget that season 4 ever happened.
Tose Nainaa Milaai Ke (2023)
Why?
I have never seen a more degrading show than this one. It is enraging and heartbreaking all at the same time.
I don't see how they rescue the male lead's character, after all that destruction. They have slathered him in filth that will not be able to be washed off, not even if he dove into the Indian ocean.
Kuhu's character is slowly barreling towards the Do Not Resuscitate direction. Its just telling that a woman has to lower or completely get rid of her self-respect in order to keep a husband. Its disappointing if this is a reflection of the Indian culture.
I have a feeling they will soon bleach her from head to toe. Turn her into Snow White so that her shallow, frog will start returning that affection.
Love is suposed to come from the heart, they had it right in the beginning. But have taught a valuable lesson, that vanity often preceeds truth, and this is where the differece between true love and oportunistic love can be differentiated.
