At the start of this track my logical and creative sides collectively took the decision to step back and observe – because any creative would know that the story they were trying to sell was the equivalent of creative suicide if it went wrong.
And suicide they committed.
You either have to be very brave or very stupid to do this… I shall leave it up to the reader to decide which.
I labeled it a monumental flop from the get go, because from the start there were too many half-baked ideas/ thoughts/ considerations in the outline that not only upended the viewer but also contradicted the past year and a half. Too much time was spent reassuring viewers. And any reader or viewer knows that such reassurances are not needed if you are in capable hands. But with Kasautii we know the creatives are too easily swayed and what could have been a solid storyline has not only frayed but come apart completely.
There are too many indirect character depictions – which makes you feel that the creatives have no idea what or who the characters fundamentally are – and it is those indirect and negative character depictions the audience is picking up on and highlighting. (There is also the complete lack in understanding of human nature on the creatives side)
So after giving them the equivalent of nearly a month to get to the point, I can clearly say – YOU MISSED IT! (and any chance of redemption for Anurag)
I once again feel that the creatives are in over their heads and flying blind without radar or a map - while the fuel is running out! (Let’s just hope they somehow manage to land in Kasautii.)
Rather than get to the meat and bones and make this believable – which there was in fact a very slim chance – you chose to make Anurag negligent and thoughtless and have poured so much calcium calbite (whitewash) over him that I’m surprised he has not yet petrified into an immortal white statue.
But can Anurag be redeemed? …not the way they’re doing it.
But there is a way out – the coward's way for every creative when they’ve realized that what they were trying to do has flopped (colossally) – question would be: Would the audience accept it?
And at this moment I would be the first to say – they probably would.
So what is the answer?
Wake Anurag from his bad (disjointed and poorly executed) dream, go back, and make him fight for their relationship. In short: REBOOT
It is cruel to both viewers and actors – But may just save the story in the end. And considering current events and circumstances, the creatives will have some time now to rewrite their storyline….
Need I say more?
