Unpopular opinion about SAAKK - Page 4

I honestly cannot say that show is bad though it could have been better. A show is all about entertainment and must appeal to the taste of wide range of audience in different age groups so you are forced to throw in all sorts of masalas like romance, angst, plotting and kitchen politics while trying to keep the the concept or soul of the show. The show does not pretend to be cerebral but pure entertainment. It is not easy when you are dealing with a situation like COVID and lockdowns and you are measured on a weekly basis. There are tons of options for viewers so one misstep can cause the show to go off-air and all the hard work of the crew is down the drain. As long as all masalas are balanced, the show is palatable.

For example If they had proceeded with the original concept then Shaurya would be a much more dark character, his change much less relatable and his character almost non-redeemable (misogyny is not something you change easily, it is a part of your behavioral and psychological buildup) so they opted for a grey character who is a progressive at heart and his apparent regressiveness is a result of his circumstances and family background.

I do see some logical oversights in the show but for most part the show has managed to balance various storylines within their constraints and keep pace. Also it is better than most shows out there (I am seriously disgusted at the level of toxicity in those shows and slow pace) and that is enough for me. They have great actors with incredible chemistry and some of the episodes/scenes have been amazing in terms of direction and cinematography. I have no complaints. To me a show is appealing if I think about it and wonder where it is headed next after the episode is done or feel an impulse to comment on it in a forum.

As for Deba, she is learning fast so I have no complaints there either.

Very well stated!!!

COVID is going on and in many places people are (stuck) at home and the entertainment industry is keeping them entertained. Like you said, that means they have to cater to many different tastes!

I'm with you on preferring SAAKK over other shows that are on ITV right now. I even watch some of the other shows, but this is the only show I care to come to IF for or even comment on. I'm invested!

As for acting, I think they're all doing a superb job and I appreciate their willingness to work in the conditions that they do to keep me entertained!!!

Hey guys, I'm back after long and wanted to interact a bit so please you all list out your unpopular takes regarding the show. Here are mine :

1) Writing team has totally ruined the show. It has gotten boring. The story progression feels rushed and we have faltu ke drama scenes a lot more now which can be avoided. I've stopped watching the show these days because of this. Will binge watch next week so I can fast forward.

2) Debattama isn't that good of an actress. Her dialogue delivery feels good at first but it has only two tones. She perpetually sounds like she's pained. Unlike Shaurya, Aastha or even Tej. Their dialogue delivery alone conveys the mood of the character. Expressions are a cherry on top.

In my opinion, the actress needs to work harder. Even the ACP actor is really good but under-utilised.

I agree with 1st point.. but debattma is spot on.. very fresh raw.. her expressions r excellent and her dialogue delivery is very natural.. at times I feel she outshines KV🙂

To each their own!! 😆

Indeed

1) Yes , kinda agree on that

They aren’t exploring the battle between badi soch and choti soch much as they had promised . Shagun track was unnecessarily introduced. They Have totally changed Shagun’s character and Literature Professor coming in for teaching Economics is such a crazy good up 🤪

I’m also not watching much these days

Kinda lost interest after Shagun’s entry 😆

But I haven’t still given up on this show ,let’s see 😆

2) Deba tbh - is really good , not outstanding but good.

Compared to other ITV female leads I have watched , I find her acting good and tolerable - most actors are good in this show except that Actress playing Kanchan 😕 - gets on my nerves 😬

3) ACP ahir is not written well at all :/

Such a half baked character 🤔

You’re right , HB has potential but they don’t utilise it :/

Hitesh is doing good job otherwise I’d find ACP irritating

Chemistry between Hitesh and KV in ShauHir scenes is amazing. They kinda sideline Deba in those scenes

I hope they have something good planned for this character. Already too many villains in show , don’t want him to turn into one too .
