Why are we all already complaining???[MOD NOTE PG10] (Page 2)

Lol, yup..

Ekta jee has this uncanning ability to put me off shows entirely. Also, I've seen way too many Ekta shows to know EXACTLY how a scene would go without having to see it. However, if my comments will be looked at with a more analytical approach should I have watched the show, then I'll go ahead and watch them right away. Because clearly, out of everything I said, the only thing that stuck with you is the fact that I hadn't watched the show (the "WHY" I didn't watch it, never did register..? )

And I did expect more and I was fairly skeptical about them being realized too - TRUST ME when I say that I KNOW how Ekta jee works. So I knew I shouldn't expect a lot of my hopes to be realized. I'm just saying that just because I know Ekta and just because she has reputation for spewing nonsense doesn't mean that that nonsense should be excused.. I am okay with anyone who enjoys her shows - really, more power to you! But why should the members who don't enjoy her repetitive tracks be dubbed "negative" for their criticism. It's constructive criticism - we expect more from her because she is old enough in this industry to finally be able to challenge herself. But I guess, then the question really becomes, does she even have to challenge herself if everyone else is absolutely okay lapping up her stale story tracks as long as they get to see their favorite actor/actress/jodi on screen..

Khair.. My apologies. I will definitely watch the show before I dare to make an educated opinion on it. Because as far as Ekta's concerned, her past track record cannot be used to support the criticism against her - it can only be used to justify her present mistakes.

@bold: Middle aged couples need to act like a middle aged MATURE couple. Middle aged people are a bit more experienced and mature and self confident, from what I've seen. Middle aged couple acting like a couple of 20+ years old (being pushed around and neglected without having the gall or the backbone to put their foot down and be more assertive..) does NOT make it different. It just makes it repetitive - what we've seen with young couples, now we see with old couples. That makes it different? To better demonstrate my point, if a 30+ woman is wearing the same dress as a 20+ woman, it does NOT make the dress different..

@Anu: Lol! Yaar I've been totally spoilt by LTL to the point that rare shows can ever make it to my "to watch" list.. This one did because of the promos, which really was a big deal.. But I guess it wasn't meant to be.. *sigh*..

Back to LTL for me I guess.. But hey, those that enjoy Ekta shows, more power to you!  I used to enjoy them too.. Sadly, I've out grown them and can't seem to put up with them anymore..

So I just finished today's episode..

Seriously what was today's episode? I swear if I heard one more second of the "marriage is so good...you're missing out on so much...get married now" bhashan both Ram and Priya were getting I was gonna throw something. SO annoying and boring tbh. The show's story did not move AT ALL today.

^^That is not what I was expecting. Maybe 1-2 scenes like that but not 30 minutes of that in ONE episode. She said this was different and I feel like a fool for believing it was different..like always.

Ekta's writers ka standard bohaut low hoagaya hai. It's the initial episodes that hook people onto a show...and I am losing interest :((

I know exactly what to expect from an Ekta show. I've seen plenty of her shows right from Kyunki to Tere Liye...and it's the initial 3-4 months that are the best of a show.

I personally dont keep any expectations on any show. Then be it by Ekta or any other PH, bcoz i feel all are carbon copy of each other. How much ever they say thier show is different at the end of the day we know all these has been repeated in some show or the other. Infact i can name a few of the Shows which are straight picked from BT Shows itself  but lets not get into it.

About complaints. When we have a Show, Fictional Show members are bound to have thier complaints and doubts over the Show, characters n tracks. And they have a right to raise them too. This is the reason we have Forums for, dont we? To share our doubts, complaints, criticisms. I know at times the Criticisms does get irritating or meaningless and might hurt some too but then lets take it in a positive way. The leads here are way too Good. But going by the story i feel it does carry some truth. I have seen people of the age group 30+ unmarried are taken for granted by the family. But there were something which actually i feel wasnt necessary for the Show. They were rather Stupid than showing how kind and Nyc the person is as mentioned below



I so agree with this^^^. I dont think this was even wanted. This was something too OTT. I wish this wasnt there and Ekta had kept it plain n simple. But then ... with something good we do have something extra good here

Anyways ...I am hoping we wont get to see this again and now on the Show goes Slow n Simple as we expect it to be or as the Promo showed us

Navs,Good to see you on a "Ram" forum again. 

As annoying as the constant referral to marriage may have seemed, I found it quite realistic. Maybe it's not something you can relate to but I know there are people out there whose family and friends constantly bring up marriage talks and say stuff like you're not getting any younger. The fact that it was constantly brought up today, in my opinion it just shows how big of  deal marriage is to Ram and Priya's family and friends. Even in today's society marriage is a common topic and it is often brought up after one reaches a certain age.

Plus it's the main theme of the show anyway, since the story is about a middle aged couple that have an arranged marriage and fall in love etc. their age and the fact that they're single is something that will keep cropping up until they settle down. People are often pressured about being married at the "right time" and the same is happening with the leads
