that was the base of the show.
The base of the show wasn't an out of the world love story bt the "choti-choti khushiya" it provides.
Be it through Abhi-Meera remote wala scene or torch wala scene or abhi-bubbly scenes.They wl just leave a smile on your face.bt alas this just doesn't works with audiences.
People just want to gravitate towards shows which will show 1 OTT couple, 1 vamp to destroy it all and which will surrounded by negativity and then will crib about negativity of the show.
Even sony other shows are OTT loud shows be it barjatya wala which pinches my eyes by its garish set and loud makeup😵
or the maa-beta wala which is completely OTT that is why fetching trps.
Yep, it was all about the moments that the show created.
Granted, it would have been better for the show if they could have worked on providing a more cohesive arc for some of the plotlines...a more compelling overarching story...but then after a point, you start to understand that the show itself is like Meera...you have to understand the intent behind the facade and not really look for the perfect whole...and once you do that, only two things can happen...you either fall in love with the show like you do with Meera, all her imperfections included or you become like Aman and you move on to the next superficially "perfect" facade you can find😆
This show attempted something different in it's narrative style and characterizations...yes, in some ways they oversimplified things...but in other ways, they managed to create really heartwarming characters and situations...and I just appreciated the fact that I got to see something different...like usually all shows invest in fancy clothes, big sets etc. etc...but here the investments were in things like a beautiful set, bg score, theme song, technical finesse...and it wasn't like those things were just gloss...they felt like a part of the show's fabric, it's characters...
Yes, maybe things would have been different if the show had a more hard-hitting storyline...but then it wouldn't be Meera we would be watching...it would be the usual thing...Meera toh aise hi milni thi...and I just grew to love that somehow.
Frankly it all boils down to the fact that Indian TV will never be ready for a genuinely "imperfect" female lead like Meera...more than her zaniness, it's stuff like her aimless laziness that people reject...it's hard for people to wrap their minds around a character that doesn't give you something solid to hold on to...lol and frankly I've struggled a bit with that regarding Meera initially too so I get that...but this show had a pretty good payoff if people hang on and watch the evolution of the interactions b/w Abhi-Meera...there is a reason this confession has been pulled off so well...because the characters got good build-up b/w them.
