Let's try and ask ourselves why did we start watching this serial and compare it with what it has become today.
We started watching the show because we wanted to see something supernatural and not the usual daily life.
We started watching the show because we wanted to see a 'churail/buri aatma' (whatever the CVs want to call it) and not an arrogant model.
We started watching the show because we wanted to see suspense and mystery and not the boring office meetings.
We started watching the show because we wanted to see how a simple girl overcomes the evil forces and not how she dies an untimely, unnatural and unfortunate death.
We started watching the show because we wanted to see Jeet as a youthful, energetic boxer and not as a dull, frustrated and angry businessman. We wanted to see Rano as the chirpy and cheerful Punjabi girl and not as the weeping ghost. We wanted to see Anamika as a powerful and dangerous evil force and not as a rich, mindless fashion model (who lives in a hotel! ).
We started watching the show because we wanted to see a completely new concept on Indian television and not just yet another love-triangle show.
We started watching the show because we wanted to see a storyline that had unpredictability, mystery and novelty and not a storyline that can be predicted till the next 25-50 episodes.
WHY ARE WE WATCHING THE SHOW?
QUIT NOW!
I don't think the CVs have an answer.
(I will try and post the 3rd and the last part of my critique in a couple of days.)
