Kekta, KS, and stuff................ - Page 2

Aditee,
You've hit the nail on the haead, we the viewers tend to blur the line between reel and real and end up with heartache for no reasonable reason.
From the few glimpses i've had at other kekta serials, i'd say yes, she introduces the stupidest of twists in the name of trp's....
and it is so ironic, because she would have sky high trp's on a show like ks if she'd give us a good story line, where jb have their share of Usual, sane marital and business problems!
As for jp, if kekta wants trp's;instead of showing pia preggers w jw's kid, show that the ons did not happen. give us the simple, dignified bani we fell in love with and the JW the king we allloved, adored and were nuts over.....and watch the trp's SOAR!

Ah well, maybe it's time to move on from KS.....
All good things come to an end eventually....

One question to you: do you believe, that if they had a wider timeschedule and if they had dealt it artistically rather than commercial, they could nave upheld the original quality and could have proceeded with the characters intact? Was there enough story for a prolonged period in the original storyline?

In other words: is it necessary to to introduce the crap? Are there examples of prolonged programs that upheld quality?

To my mind comes Astitva, as such an example. But I am not sure that Astitva was a commercial success.

Asitva was a commercial sucess, but at the same time, the story-line meandered senselessly after a year or so! But atleast, the characters were realistic!

The basic story line and format of KS was a very good one, but definitely not one that can be prolonged for over a long time. KS is basically a Love Story and a Love Story can only be streched upto a limit...It was the story of two disparate individuals thrown together because of circumstances and how they fight their destinies to reconcile and discover love in one another...A beautiful and heart-warming concept, if not an entirely original one!

No, it is not necessary to introduce crap...Quality can always be maintained along with all the stuff that is necessary for popularity of a serial! But Ekta Kapoor follows certain set of rules which she thinks are a must for the success of all her serials and hence, we see, that every serial, goes down the pits after say, a run of 6 months or so!

KS that way has been one of her better ventures...It followed a wonderful story line along with some gripping performances for almost 8 months or so...But now what they are dishing out is much more than crap and one finds it hard to decipher, whether you are watching a serious drama or a cheap, third rate comedy!

The best serials ever shown on Indian Television were the ones they used to air on Doordarshan...The Production Values were extremely shoddy and downmarket, but the content was A-rate! Take any serial from Hum Log (The First Indian Soap) to Khandaan (A Take on the Bold and the Beautiful, Indian Style) or to the recent ones like Farmaan, Kashish, Kashmakash, Tanhayiaan....and so many more....They are soaps and serials, we remember till date, almost 10-20 years after they were aired! Buniyaad, one of Indian Television's most popular shows, was aired once again recently and even though it seemed like it was from a different era, the appeal was timeless!

KS is just one of the those serials which remains etched in our minds till they are on-air, I can bet my last penny, that the moment it goes off-air, no one will remember, either KS, or Jai Walia or for that matter any other thing associated with this Soap!

My Two Cents...

i second that😃 but i will always remeber jai😳 as i have remembered by baby angad😳. KYPH, after the 5 year leap was completely crap. it made no sense watsoever. ekta couldn't find anything else to put it the show so she smushed together her usual preganacy dramas, abortions, long speeches of bhariti values by women who are way too mahan for their own good and the usual male female suffering. the show finished within a year. KS is doing better i admit becuz it has stronger foundations than i simple luv story between a playboy and a sanskari girl, but it seems that ekta is hellbent on ruining her serial for the sake of money. i mean, it makes me wonder if a woman who can begin with such a superb story line and progress the story to the point where we r all hooked, can stoop so low that her shows become so unbearable. unbearable and digusting. a lot of ppl turned on jai after the ONS and the show was just spoiled. what kind of cheap mind would make someone sleep with their wife and SALI on the SAME night... that too of KARVA CHATUH!!! how sleazy is that? and now, she is trying to rebuild our jai walia by making bani a complete weirdo.it makes u wonder... the same person who created the character of the great jai walia and gave him so much life... just killed his greatness within a few moments... broke the hearts of thousands of viewers...just lyk that... for the sake of TRPS!!! doesn't she have enuff brains to understand that by doing this she is just harming the show instead of rasing its success??? after a while, it will just make too sick, especially if pia madam gets preggo wit jai's illegimate child, and we will stop watching. thats the end of KS... a once beautiful show forgotten forever.

Hey...I think Koshish and Kutumb were good efforts too..

I mean Vardun Badola was marvelous as the mentally unstable Niraj Khanna and Sandhya Mridul put in an equally good performance as the strong willed Kajal...

I also think Hiten Tejwani's egoistic, headstrong Pratham Mittal was a character well played, with dollops of generous support from now wife Gauri Pradhan 😃

i agree with you, if they show pia pregnant with jai's child that will be the end of Kasam Se 🤢 ... it's such a shame because ks has the potential or should i say had the potentional to be the no 1 serial...

ekta you need to show that ons did not happen and redeem jw's character for a start...

Ekta $$$$$$$$$$ is real life
JB is reel life

so i guess we must start to accept this
