A matured Love story : How feasible is that??? - Page 7

KZK was a good show at one point...probably the only K-show out of the first big three that I followed regularly at one point...but I stopped watching after it got too convoluted with the whole Anurag-Prerna-Bajaj drama started *rolls eyes*

But later on, PM were the best thing about that show and I will still cherish that about it...the cast was fantastic too...a great set of actors...especially Shweta, Ronit, MB, Tina.

KMH1 etc. type chindi shows toh bahut baad mein aaye...the original K-shows actually used to atleast have POWERFUL actors...nowadays toh she usually only casts expressionless newbies :P

Depends...watched Bagbaan the other day again and yes it can work, only in tv its like follow the leader...a production house  comes out with a good concept but then it falls into pithole of the same old crap of backstabbers, complete degradation of characters, leads that never becomes romances...Basera with RK and Pallavi S started off with a good concept of older couples but somehow instead of developing interconnected parallel tracks, it became too one sided and negative early on and caused its demise...

Basera was never really about the story of the couple...it was always more of a Baghban type story of the relationship of that couple with their children and how they abandon them...they showed grown children in that show for the couple.

In this show, there are no children in the mix...the focus is straight up on the mature couple's love story...their relationship...that is the difference.

@red: Don't forget random illegitimate kids coming out of the woodworks without warning or vindictive exes! Oh and off course the 1001 return-from-the-dead tracks! 🤣

There is no certain 'age' as you have it to fall in love, I mean most people have this notion that falling is love is about being young, youthful but instead its something that makes you feel that way.

You hear about people as old as 70/80 falling in love and I find it so cute/romantic. 

Yet like Fivr said its more about perception than ability and I am actually glad that Indian TV is looking into a MATURED sort of romance than the ordinary 18-30 year old love stories we have dominating TV. I think seeing another side to relationships than just when we are young living in a joint family vaghera vaghera.

A lot of people nowadays wait till 30.. I don't know about everywhere but especially in UK you see how people around you are waiting to find a responsible and caring and mostly mature person who can take marriage with the good and the bad.

I mean marriage isn't just love and babies. Its about understanding and being able to emotionally and physically being able to commit to somebody whilst juggling bills, household issues. So if you are young and don't find someone like that then why not wait till you meet someone who shares your ideas and dreams and understands you.  

^^ That sounds like babble.. but I hope you get what I mean.. =)

I still believe the romantic angle of AB and Hema was a strong draw of the film.  From the promos of the Bade Ache they are showing RK and Priya as a couple already...

It was ONE of the major draws...but the movie is different cuz it anyways showed GROWN children for the couple like I mentioned in my previous post...Ram and Priya do not have any children...they aren't in their FIFTIES or SIXTIES. Baghban was basically the story of PARENTS more than a couple FALLING in love with each other...AB-Hema were an ESTABLISHED couple in that story when the movie begins...BALH is about a JOURNEY.

The promos show the overall journey of Ram and Priya as I mentioned in my previous post in this thread around page 4 or 5...the show will obviously not start with RP already married...it will build to that point.

The whole premise of this show is that it's not about an OLD couple...they are more mature than the average couples on TV in their 20s or some 19 year old woman marrying a 50 year old buddha, but they aren't over the hill either...this pair is unique and refreshing.

Yes current soaps are all about teens to early twenties romance but then most of Ekta shows has been about a romance between older couples (bar Kasam se and Bandini) and those are the shows that have had a longer runs then most of the recent ones.  Nowadays if a shows runs for 2/3 years its lucky...the trick is knowing how to keep stretching the romance angle between the lead couple.

Lovely topic Sushy...and there is some wonderful discussion going on in this thread...😳
