Backdrops not matching characters dialogues

Hi! After seeing the grand front page ad of the show on TOI, thought of giving this show some try by watching some scenes. Just to see why SONY Channel which is known to give worst TRPs & abrupt end to its shows giving so much hype this particular show.

Pros:

1) music

2) Sets

3) cinematography

4) costumes

5) all Characters acting

Cons:

1) Too fast on characters development

2) Extremely modern thinking by main leads characters which seriously doesn't match backdrops the story that has been set. It is like they (CVs & channel) r trying way too hard to please certain online section of viewers. 😂😛

3) Dialogues r way too unrealistic for characters & era they live in.

4) Characters r expressing shyness & modern so called progressive behaviour in split seconds sequences.

True, in the precap amrit saying she likes randheer even though KB is promised to him is a bit disturbing.

I know amdheer are the end game, but loving your cousins fiance and even expecting it without guilt is a bit weird, especially since they have shown amrit as a shy and family oriented girl.

Some hesitance from amrit's side at this thought atleast initially would have been in better sync with her character.

Though I don't want any of leads to turn into mahanta ki murt.

Exactly. I can understand if one of the couple was bit modern in thinking & way of living but yahaan Puri mandali modern hai. 😂

Cons:

1 & 3 are perfectly observed

They are going a bit too fast.

The characters are not very familiar in terms of their progressive thoughts. One out of thousands might think like that in those times. They could have shown how the girl Amrit has got such dreams through her journey, not in the very beginning. The simplicity has kind of been missing.

Sorry for jumping in randomly but I don't think it is too unrealistic. The thinking might seem a little bit modern but there were many prominent women of that era who broke the norms of the society like

1.Dr Kadambini Ganguly(being the first female Doctor of India and marring on her own choice).

2.Anandi Bai Joshi(first female doctor of India along with Kadambini Ganguly who went abroad to study medicine.)

3. RukmaBai(The second female doctor of India who fought a divorce case against her husband which ultimately resulted in the Age of Consent Act).

4. Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain(a prominent feminist and writer)

These women were born in 19th century. So the characters having modern thoughts in that era is Uncommon but not Unrealistic

Agree with you.

Rare things but in this show everyone thinks modern. That's makes it unrealistic.

I think it's ok for AmDheer and VashmAy

In all honesty, there are some discrepancies and larger than life portrayals of the characters in that era. For instance,

(i) You pointed out the mindset of the girls and the discussions, true, while girls did have feelings and thoughts pertaining to the issues, they were not so open and vocal about it. Since they have based this series on Amrita Pritam and the key protagonists of her stories, they have made them think ahead of times and put into dialogues the forbidden/taboo discussions too.

(ii) Religious harmony was prevalent but dining with the other religion/gender was restricted. Religion and relations were not mixed. The education bit too: There used to be a certain aversion to educate children in English missionary schools, so parents used to put them in the religious institutions to learn their culture and values. Literacy rate for women was 2.8% pre-Partition in the region. In contrast, Vashma and Amrit and their families seem to be well-integrated to the point where they sit, eat and study together. This is to give a sense of just how much will change with the Partition.

(iii) Quick transition in their stories: Agreed; they met and seem to have fallen in love too soon. But since the key lesson here is of the Partition, they are seeking to build a narrative of 5 years in 5 months and show us just how drastically things might change and the impact the trauma will have on these hearts, who will be brutally seperated in the horrific event.

But since they are catering to people in the 21st century, they have tried to show how they all have dreams, hopes, feelings just like us, which will soon be torn apart. They want us to connect to the characters and even live with them in some sense so when the humanity dies, we can feel their pain and suffering too.

Even I felt that Amrit confession part is shown too soon but at the end of the day, she has not said to her parents or to declare it publicly. She has just shared it with her best friend and confidante Vashma.
