Solid plotline that crumbled later due to creative differences
mannuskyhigh12 November 2019
If you have seen left right left back then, you can't just help but appreciate the freshness this show brought on television. It was a youth oriented series packaged as a drama for all the audiences at the primetime slot. There were many people who used to follow this show be it children, youth, adults or even old people. For any show or a movie, the basic thing that needs to work is writing, people mostly give credits to actors but they forget if the writing is bad, nothing can save a show which is exactly happened with this one after 200 episodes which is pretty much the same story of all daily soaps. Either you drag it or pull it off, these days channels have become impatient, they take off shows pretty quick but LRL was lucky in that sense, it continued to run with lower ratings for some time.

I liked the basic premise of the show, it was refreshing to see a female lead having an author backed role and having the whole story around her. the rest of the actors, supporting characters each of them did great job. The creatives took the show seriously and in no time it was one of the highest rated show on TV. But like most of the soaps, once the show crossed 150-200 episodes, it went out of steam. Worse, there were creative differences between the actors, crew and producers. Too many replacements and two three major actors were shown the door. If it was not enough, the show suffered with a great creative (Satyam Tripathy, who was initially the creative head and writer left the show midway) and it never came back on track.

There were several loose ends in the show. The Biggest Blunder they showed was Major Nair (Deepraj Rana) Who was a working agent for the mastermind MD Gehlot was seen continuing as the principal of KMA and the whole faculty respects him. WTH seriously! Whatever the fresh wave of new concepts of TV brought by star one shows and LRL was quickly put off. We are back to those silly dramas and it's been a while that I have even seen the face of teleivision.

So yeah thank you LRL for all the memories.

Love to Priyanka Bassi, Vikas Manaktala, Gazal, Harshad everyone...

A Breathe of Fresh Air that became Stale Cheese Anti Climax
vikasbhatt-5395428 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I had at one point loved fresh series then stopped watching once it turned soap opera. After Ritu was exposed killed and Capt Abhimanyu entered competing Rajveer as Naina mentor, the series slipped from mission. I stopped watching. Missed track end when new batch came amidst reports the stars of this story had become too big and demanding falling out with producers. Sadly the producers had once killed a fresh series on youth and college in Banegi Apni Baat repeated same mistake here. It was an anti climax. Read years later on internet Rajveer was killed off lamely.

The new cadets, teachers had en extended run with the main villain Lala Gehlot. They killed him after another extended soap opera. Just like fan fav classic Star Trek and The Next generation, this transition was too sudden unconvincing. One actually wished characters behaved more like real people in this run and there was a more satisfying end to Rajveer-Naina track instead of ending it abruptly in Devdas like tragedy! Rajveer character was too strong and smart to end in such an amateur joke. Couldn't producers have used his set deadline to exit better?

Cadet Alekh was the best character of younger lot whose background story as a juvenile prisoner needed some time. He was the Jai in any Jai Viru scenario with loud mouth Huda. The series suffered due to surrealness. No Army Captain will tolerate a wreck like Huda long before kicking him out of Academy. A cadet who uses public announcement system to defame his colleague cadet and a captain teacher accusing their relationship, like he owned the girl after being an emotional wreck will not be in campus a second more for creating such bad situation. Women have served forces for long and MCPs like Major Nair with their full anti-women bias to women would never be an Academy teacher. In retrospect find it much juvenile. Stand out is Priyankaa Bassi's intense acting, strong, determined, emotional, vulnerable. She deserved a better in Bollywood. How I wish Indian TV show makers learnt to end storylines in time logically than make a stale soap opera stretching and destroying it.

Some of the rare gems of Indian television
nikita-rulebreaker11 August 2020
This show was among the very few good shows aired on Indian television. Great storyline, amazing starcast and strong headed female characters. Wish they make a remake with season 1 starcast again.
