And that's where it will stay as long as they focus only on the romance and not on the story.
Romance is fine, but that's not enough- a show needs to tell a story. We're gone a whole year into the show, we still have no idea what the serial is about apart from the romance and this vague pregnancy which appears and disappears depending on the latest storyline crisis that the CVs are facing at that particular moment.
How long can eye locks and coy pulling of dupattas, falling in and out of each other's arms and moon watching and the promise of 'hot, hot' SR take the place of a story?!?
(how and what they are supposed to 'show' in this much awaited SR, and that too in a fictional tale and that too on Indian TV boggles the mind!!)
Please don't get me wrong, I do love G and M's relationship, but I want a story now. Honestly, I don't mind doing a deal with the CVs- a decent, discreet romance and SR (which doesn't need the two protagonists to do things they're not comfortable doing and their audience not comfortable watching) for a hot, hot story that focuses on the couple's fight for justice or anything exciting that they and the other characters in the show do and NO MUS betwen anyone.
Believe me there is nothing that works as a great story told well.
GHSP had a brillaint start, it had eveything going for it, until it got derailed somewhere along the way. Who is to blame I wonder- the CVs, the audience and their clamour for romance and SRs, the channel itself? Who knows? Whatever it is, GHSP is out of the top 100 and looks like that's where it will be, at least for now. What a sad state of affairs.
