But whenever there are scenes involving him with Buffon and stalker he becomes a pain- like the underlying thought being, where is your individuality when these two enter the frame
Couple that with HIS buffoonish actions today and yuck happy to settle for WUs for the moment
Italics: these guys have ALWAYS been slow- remember how the Arjun Kajol wedding took AGES, and we had to wait so long before that extremely satisfying slap and breaking the engagement up?
Optimystix used to have such good shows with good story and great pacing, I have seen a few Ye meri life hai, Saas bina Sasural and Ladies Special were my favourite in drama. And in comedy they had Tera Kya hoga Aaliya/ Carry on Alia, Sajan re jhooth mat bolo, Sajan re phir jhooth mat bolo and Kya Haal Mr Panchaal plus their Baalveer series was a hit. And they never had a pacing problem or problems with twists. They are great storytellers and had always put the story above TRP for those shows.
I think it is Colors that has created a mess by putting some kind of pressure to go slow and compete with already established shows like YRKKH and Kundali Bhagya. If they wanted to compete, they should have gone for fast paced action and drummed up interest instead they are just dragging the plot and going in several directions. I mean Colors went to Leena Gangopadhyay and got her to do concept because all the most popular Star Plus shows are based on her concept. Colors is desperate to win the TRP game in this prime time slot and therefore is ruining the story with so much potential. 😔😔😔😔
I actually find it funny that two shows that started together have such different pacing trajectories, there is Nima Denzongpa (though I have this knowledge only from reviews as I don't watch that show) which has had several leaps that has prompted memes that say they are now living in 2060 and TSBTSP which can drag week after week "a single week".😭😭😭😭
