Storyline
Featured review
A not so memorable second season.
The tagline of The Viral Fever (TVF) has always been "Lights, Camera, Experiment", but unfortunately they seem to have forgotten that last bit. Now that they have achieved some success, they don't wish to evolve and try something new or develop some new interesting stories. They just want to stay in their comfort zone and keep on recycling the same kind of stories with minute changes. Feel good story of an underdog with some melodrama towards the end, that is exactly what their outline or template seems to be of every show. The thing is that once you stop experimenting, your creative mind goes to sleep, you start doling out below par and substandard content by taking the audience for granted. This is exactly what is happening with TVF.
The first season ended on a beautiful note with a heartwarming conversation between Dhruv and Chhavi. The dialogues in that conversation were written very well and both Rashmi and Omkar acted wonderfully in that scene. That scene, coupled with Vaibhav Bundhoo's music left me on an emotional high; that was indeed a perfect ending.
I just wish, TVF had left things as it is and moved on to a new story, but the sequel bug bit them unfortunately, and they decided to make a second season. There was no scope of a second season, more importantly there was no need of a second season. The writer and director have moved on in life, and have started working on other projects; so TVF appointed a new team to create the second season, which was clearly not competent enough to carry forward the story. Visshesh Tiwari, who was super impressive as Susu in the first season did not come back in the new season, so TVF had to replace him with Naman Jain, who needless to say failed to match up to the standard set by his predecessor. Rashmi Agdekar, the amazing discovery of the first season, became a guest in the new season before disappearing completely. A new actress, Kanikka Kapur, became Dhruv's co-star, but she made no impact at all. Apparently the extra 'K' in her name could not help her act at all, she turned out to be a complete disappointment.
The second season has none of the humour or playfulness that could be found abundantly in the first season. The new season is outright boring and suffers from insipid and uninspired writing. There was something to look forward to in every episode of the first season, but the new season is completely hollow. It seems as if the writers wrote it just because they had to write something, and the director Okayed that screenplay because there was a deadline. This is what happens when you end up doing something without having any kind of interest or motivation to do so. A sequel should never be made just to encash the popularity of the original. Unless you have a well-defined screenplay that is as compelling as the original, there is no point in going ahead with it. Also, it's much better to make a new show when most of your original cast members and writers and director have no intention of coming back.
Also, why were the producers credited for writing the story of the show? This show originated from the minds of Prem Mistry and Abhishek Yadav, the creators of the first season, they should be credited for laying the foundation of the show. TVF has always talked about giving respect to the writers, so what made them resort to these kinds of ugly practices?
A creative team must understand the difference between hunger and greed. While the first season of Immature was a result of the hunger of the creative team, their enthusiasm to do something good; the second season was purely made out of greed. I really hope TVF stops taking it's viewers for granted, comes out of the nostalgia trip and brings back the 'experimentation' part in there brainstorming sessions.
