Rida you spoke my mind.. like literally..every single thing you pointed out!
The first full episode I watched of this show that got me intrigued was episode 27. It had basically Dhruv, Nandini, Manik, ManRuv bond, Manik's angst, Dhruv's attacks, shooting star, the mystery element and music and I became a regular viewer of this show. I went back and watched all the episodes that I had missed and I remember how much I had gushed about the show once I was up to date with it. I recommended the show to everyone I knew could watch.
I liked the storytelling, flow, the characters, their bonding, emotions, the suspense element, every thing! There was not a single character that I hated. I liked that all the characters were gray and human. I wanted to know all of their stories, their past and their families too.
I was so impressed that the writers knew how to keep the mystery element still intact while working on the MaNan story and the character development. I was so confident that this would be one Indian show that wouldn't disappoint me for it seemed like the writers really knew what they were writing back then.
But today, sadly I have to take back my words because of what they have done to the show and the characters and every plot revolving around the lead characters. The show has lost its essence, its originality with unnecessary, numerous new entries back to back taking away from the original storyline and characters that I can no more connect with those characters I wanted to know about some time back. I don't know how they can repair that. I don't see that happening. MaNan are the main thing and the USP of the show but that doesn't mean the rest of the characters aren't important. The show had enough characters to add the necessary spice, drama in MaNan's story including Harshad and Nyonika. Once in a while a new-entry/cameo is okay but now it seems like every track in MaNan's life has to revolve around the outsiders only.
They've butchered so many potential tracks like Dhruv-Rishab's attacks(Nandini was supposed to see the Doctor after a week for Rishab during the hospital track but that is totally forgotten-I will always hold this against the CVs), ManRuv conflict-What did they do? how did they end it?, Manik's inferiority complex, his reason for refraining form saying those 3 magical words to Nandini-again, what did they do?
As much as I disliked MukBhi they deserved a better closure than the abrupt ending they got. Or else that track shouldn't have been introduced only.
Same with DhruLya. I was never really happy with these 2 pairing up so suddenly but CVs could've given them a better story.
I have no faith in the writers anymore to handle the rest of the mysteries/stories carefully. The backstories, past they've left behind so much that it isn't even mentioned in the show anymore. They are busy adding new ingredients in the show that there is very little of the old show left in the show now. I don't care whether the new entry is positive or negative, I'm simply not interested in a new face.
I don't know if they will ever bring back Nandu's Appa's pen and past back but poor Rishab needs his voice back. I feel for the boy.
