The one saying that fits perfectly on thr current track is "Naam bade aur darshan chhote"
Mandaar was shown as such an indispensable persona for 100+ episodes but when he was finally introduced, thru couldn't handle it.
đŻ% right..it was a rushed entry and equally rushed exit...what was shown to us between his entry and exit was half baked , uncooked stuff...there was lot of expectations from the mandar's track..we were all waiting to see how raghvi handle pallavi's ex, but they had planned a track on farz vs pyaar ..which itself was wrong...pallavi didn't have any farz towards mandar, she hardly knew him, showing the forces seperation, pallavi too inclined towards her farz and insaniyat , being insensitive towards her love and her dialogues of forgetting the most important event of husband's life was the last nail in the coffin....I still wonder how on the earth they thought it will give them 2+ trps..
They opened so many ends like mystery of wedding night, Mandaar-Ved connection, Mandaar's disappearance from hospital, why did the doctor lie, why was a body found far from hospital, Dr Ramya's unwarranted pressure, Mandaar's obsession with Pallavi etc etc but sadly couldn't close even one of them.
I feel the makers had a long track in mind with Ashok where they wanted to establish his character first as this villian to our hero but sorry to say Ashok/Mandaar was no match to Sai/Raghav(no offence to the actor)
+ To the power of infinity... though Ashok sir is a good actor, Raghav's larger than life image, his character sketch, his swag, the power he exhibited in the 100+ episodes, his smartness and shrewdness, was impossible for Mandar to match ..
First of all Mandaar is an unemployed middle class man so how was he able to give tashan to Hyderabad ka don, how was he able to challenge him and how Raghav's brains, power, clout and money went for a toss was indigestible to the fans.
Secondly to establish Mandaar they made Pallavi dumb and insensitive towards Rao's which again backfired.Exactly..to.glorify mandar and make him look like a competitor to Raghav, raghav was reduced to crying ,drinking and doing nothing, suddenly he lost all his brain cells and forgot he was the don of Hyderabad. Yes Pallavi ignoring him, turning deaf towards his warnings and blind towards his pain made her Unrelatable and she lost the sympathy of the audience...
So in order to create the TADKA they sabotaged the only thing which made their show famous that is the romance and the leads and it received such massive backlash that now they just wrapped it up quickly without giving any proper explanation to all the above points.
Completely agree...
Anyhow, yes they could have closed all the loops in 1-2 episodes and could have sped it up like they do with Raghvi scenes but I guess that fast forward mode is only reserved for Raghvi.
Only Raghvi scenes are rushed and edited... instead of showing him tying pleats and all...they could have used it to show his backstory
Now I just hope the makers, the writers, the cast and us the audience are able to move on from this track and forget it like it never happened
I hope makers stick to basic character of the leads, story is built around them and from their POV remember leads are the USP of the show ..Raghav rao is born smart , mandaar , sunny can use his weakness against him but he still is raghav rao , who has built his empire wth mere 2k rs, is the business tycoon, someone with brain and is smart...so makers shouldn't forget that...
