When this show started I was truly intrigued as Indian telly had never attempted such fantasy show with a fairy tale twist aka Beauty and Beast which is one of my favourite stories.
I loved loved all the episodes ( yes even though I was upset about kabir/roshni marriage drama I was aware the story was on track) until the arrival of medusa Alia. To be honest I was curious as I did not mind Aman with a past or a kid and I wanted to see how his trust and love for roshni will be over the virus named Alia. Instead I got to meet a new Aman who believed his ex and not his wife and on top of that blamed his wife.
Anyway, to now it has gone from bad to worse to worst. I admit I am not optimistic nor am I hopeful that we will get a redemption the way we want. With the new show on Colors which is quiet good this show has a very tough competition. You would think the amount of vfx and magic we got last week including kabir TRP would have been very high but looks like the number audiences like many of us here have moved on or given up.
I think regardless of the belief that it’s magic or fantasy, we as human look for consistency and story. Magic can only take you so far without a solid story. Additionally, unlike children adults don’t clap and be happy whenever they see mindless magic and that’s the downfall of this show. Yes there was magic, yes the vfx was good, but it had no story and hasn’t since Alia. No amount of vfx or magic can overcome that shortfall. Good leads or not.
Let’s hope rather than tweeting like a maniac who has stopped taking his Prozac and got locked in the basement by his parents, the director will take notes of the tweets he receives and start fixing those loopholes. Story is what attracts the audiences - even the other fantasy and mythical shows yes there was magic but the story was there as well. I do want the show to get better and maybe it will never reach what it was before, but it can at least be better than what it is now.
