So the painful saga ended as expected ..though not before giving viewers some drudgery.
This is not just the finale for Sanjivani 2&3 but for Sanjivani itself.A first in the genre it became an epic much loved by thousands of fans. A stellar star cast led by Mohnish Bahl who portrayed Dr Shashank ,the main protagonist so effortlessly and convincingly that he became the eternal medico for all other medical serials on ITV. Other actors too shone in their respective roles ...Gurdeep Kohli,Mihir Mishra,Iravati Harshe,Sanjeev Bedi,Vikram Gokhale and many more. This show was followed by a extremely popular version featuring a group of interns labelled Dil Mil Gayye.It had famous TV actors like Karan Singh Grover,Jennifer Winget,Dharshti Dhami,Karan Wahi,Pankit Thakkar and more including of course the spine of the serial Mohnish Bahl as Dr Shashank. Ever since it ended viewers have been waiting for an extension.
Was therefore delighted that Cinevista decided to come back with a sequel.
But what a let down it has been.Started with a bang ...all the right noises and we were charmed back again to the good old days.
What happened to destroy the euphoria of the first ten days is inexplicable.We will perhaps never know why an epic has been murdered so heartlessly.Once Dr Shashank left the the show was as good as over. Artificial respiration by bringing in a leap where all other popular characters like Dr Juhi and Anjali too exit replaced by uninspiring Gaurav Chopra who may be a good actor but certainly not the same mettle as the others who made Sanjivani an unforgettable milestone in the history of Indian television.
Cinevista is the culprit No1. Do not understand why a creator would destroy its own creation !
StarPlus is equally responsible.mush was expected from Sanjivani2 as it was Star Plus who were hosting it.The channel carries with it a reputation of non-interference but sadly this time they went berserk.Specially with the regular interruption of the red mugs signalling the cause of the downfall of Sanjivani.
It was cash after all.
Cinevista and Star plus need to realise that sometimes they need to weigh quality over lucre.
