So now that the kidnapping track has wrapped up and the
story has taken a new turn, lets take a look back at the kidnapping track as a
whole, instead of on a episode per episode basis.
The Good
Brought love for
Arnav and Khushi
The track made Arnav and Khushi realize one thing;
despite all the hate, misunderstandings and negativity in their relationship,
they truly and deeply love each other.
The distance apart, the joy and finding each other to only be pulled
apart and the determination to reunite shows how much they truly love each
other. Arnav's time apart from Khushi
also made him realize one more thing: that Khushi meant something to him; she
was important. He solidified that
feeling even more when he declared it in front of the entire family.
Development of
Mami and NK
Mami and NK have been seen as the over the top, not the
brightest characters but the kidnapping track allowed for us to see a different
side of them. We got to see the caring,
concerned and determined side of Mami who would stop at nothing to find her
nephew. She even showed compassion to
Khushi during that time, getting a first-hand look at what Arnav's distance and
troubles were doing to her. NK's
development was nicely done, showing him not only as a supporter but as a true
friend. He stood by Khushi through thick
and thin, even assisting her in revealing Shyam's true identity. NK's intelligent side was shown beautifully
as he came up with ideas to find information and trap Shyam. All in all, new sides to both NK and Mami
have been shown to us so now lets wait and see how these new sides are used
with the current story.
Conclusion of the
track
The conclusion of the kidnapping track was nicely done. It had action, drama, suspense and romance:
just like a Bollywood film. It kept
audiences to their seats and eager to find out what happens next. The revelation of secrets and exposal of
Shyam helped to conclude the track and push the story in a new direction. Lets see how the writers use this new twist to
bring Arnav and Khushi together.
The Bad
Direction of the story
At times, it felt as if the story was a bit all over the
place. At first you see Khushi miserable
and missing him, then she's determined to find him, then she was hating Shyam,
then trying to get him to trust her, etc.
It just seemed that there were too many things going on at once and they
weren't quite sure where they were going to take the story.
Character inconsistencies
Many people have noticed an inconsistency in some of the
characters. Primarily for me was Khushi
and Anjali. Khushi is suppose to be this
strong, determined, find the positive side kind of girl. What irritated me was how at the beginning of
the track, they made her this depressed, miserable, always crying girl. Then there were times they showed her first as
very impulsive and then they showed her carefully thinking things through. On the other hand, Anjali's inconsistency were
clearly shown. Not once did she ever
suspect anything between Shyam and Khushi and now all of a sudden she starts to
suspect them. Really? Had the writers shown this suspicion build up
prior to the kidnapping track and a bit throughout the track, instead at the
end of it, it would have made more sense.
The Ugly
Wasted opportunity: Payal and Akash
This track provided an amazing opportunity for the
writers to do something with Payal and Akash.
Give them a storyline, show development in their characters and relationship,
etc. Instead, they chose to put in
Bubbly; which was pointless. Then they
made Payal all of a sudden insecure about herself with Akash, which again made
no sense. They also didn't even finish
that attempted storyline. With Barun
gone for awhile, I was hoping for a Payal-Akash storyline that would solidify
them as a couple. Instead, that didn't
happen.
The Pace
I understand that Barun's absence may have caused some discrepancies
on when he would be back full time on the show.
Also, rumours about Daljeet leaving didn't help either. However despite all that, the pace of the
track could have been better. Sometimes,
the pace of the story was great and other times you could feel it
dragging. It would feel as if two
episode could have been put into one.
There were also times where the story felt like it was going in circles
and going nowhere. You could tell they
were trying to kill time until Barun returned.
This would have been a great time to develop other characters, give
other characters storylines (ex. Payal-Akash, even Nani) to make it feel less
dragging.
