And the lead has not been turned into a slap-crazy mahaan aatma The characters behave normally.... in comparison to other shows on air. Half expected Devki to insist on meeting IM and have a huge showdown. What currently works for the show is that its based on a book.
And the creatives wouldn't have much of a leeway (hopefully) to mess up the story. Like the stark contrast depicted of the sleeping quarters of IM and Charu. You have an elaborate headboard and decor on one end, and a simplistic one on the other. After a long time am I watching a show, where the dialogues are hard-hitting.
Well this is the acid test - will they stick to the story as per the book - and this means ending the serial at the logical conclusion and in the right way as pertaining to the book - or will they twist and turn the story into something unrecognisable if they get overexcited by rising TRPs?
@red - exactly. So far she seems to be truly intelligent (unlike the supposedly intelligent on other shows) and more importantly, humble enough to assess a situation correctly and take steps accordingly.
