I have a mixed feeling for today's episode. I know I'm supposed to go ga ga over it but I have my disappointing points too.
I would say it was an earnest effort from makers but it's coming too late (saying from the TRP audience POV cause once they are tunned out of a show they rarely bothered to check whether the storyline has been changed or not. A kind of a permanent loss.)
Vanika teamwork should have been dissolved completely. Mukku was fantastic in showing trash his aukat and reminding him who is the actual owner. And not just for the signing rights but in taking any kind of decision. He's just a partner and need not to think himself as a decision taking authority. That video call was fire! 🔥 🔥
I loved Anuj's swag. He's no more shy in asserting his rights on Anu and even his ehsaan's on this vile family. But, why does he needs to do the ehsaan's anyway? For Anu? Does she even gets any rewards in the form of love respect or happiness? None! Given the next opportunity, she's made to stand in the accused box and garlanded with accusations and demanded of explanations.
I'm trying to understand Anuj's reasoning but really failing at it. I would have loved if Anuj had asked Mukku to keep back Toshu only (as an employee) and let Vanraj off from any kind of business relation, had Anuj been so concerned for Anu's (or more like Vannu's) kid. Why Vanraj? For the sake of upcoming dramas ofcourse!!!!!!
I'd have understood had Samar been in the question. But.. khair..
Then comes the kitchen scene. I'm thoroughly disappointed at Anu's lack of sense of self-respect. It was just yesterday she earned some appreciations from my heart and today back to being at square one. Can she atleast treat herself better for the sake of Anuj? This guy worships her and keeps her at the highest pedestal but this woman enjoys being a doormat. How much more time Anu would need to understand the basic? How long, Anu?
It was for this that she came back to Shah's? Where were all her high end dialogues when she came back, that she's a different Anupama, her story is different now? Me searching the meaning of difference here.
I was borderline expecting something along the lines where Baa and other family members assumes that Anu would look after the festive preparations and kitchen works like always but she shocks them by saying she's a guest why would she need to do anything like that. She's only enjoy the festival. Or maybe only cooks for Anuj, Samar, Kinjal and Bapuji and throws a big attitude on others for doing it with her own will for her own people. Why should she look after other's happiness as well? Something along those lines.
And Also I wanted to see some MaAn yearning scenes, their bechaini on not able to meet each other, their excitement for the festival so that they can meet etc. They could have stretched a few episodes in establishing Anu's revamped version and vile shah's shock over the same along. But no!! They have to jump from one drama to another.
MaAn bench scene appeared to be forced to me. Like ek epi me ek scene Dena tha toh de Diya. The premise for their meeting was so good coupled with Baapuji's encouragement. (Loved that part and also the message)
But the scene came off a bit dull.
Aese toh bohot kuch hai! But thik hai! Let's see how it shapes up further.
