I know the precap shows Niharika talking to Shipra about Ram-Priya's rishta but shouldn't there be some kind of resistance to the idea from Ram and Priya for a bit atleast??
So far, the show generally has been good about keeping the RP situation on track...now it feels like it's being rushed a bit to get to the marriage quickly without tying up the loose ends😕
You're right, Anu. To be honest, I did not expect that engagement-ko-roko promo to happen on Monday itself; I thought we had at least a few eps before that to build up the tension. I hope this isn't going to be a pattern - that the promos will show what is happening that very day 😕 Pehle these promos were showing scenes already shown, and now they are only related to the immediate upcoming episode?
I think it is too early for that garden promo, as you say. Abhi toh both Priya and Ram need to assimilate after the shocks they have both received. I don't mind Niharika putting the idea into Shipra's head today, but I hope that the RP convo doesn't take place today, if at all this week. Even if that means enduring a week of Shipra's Ayesha-Ram misunderstanding.
@Divya - thank you very much. Oh yes, you're right - the first slap was Nuts-Karthik. I tend to block everything about Nuts out 😆
@Jaya - so good to see you here 🤗 hope you're going to become a regular? Would love to hear your 'musings' on this show too 😆
@Resham - hey! Totally agree on Sakshi. That final scene was bearable ONLY due to her; koi aur hota and I would have tuned out completely. The dialogues were good but Sakshi played them with such dignity and grace, that even as a fallen and humiliated Priya, she came out the strongest of every one there. These younger "actors" should really learn a thing or too from people like Sakshi and Ram; it's all very well being HAWT and having nice faces/bodies/dress sense...but if you can't hold a scene like that on the strength of your own acting skills, especially when everything else about that scene is going so, so wrong...then you are really in the wrong business.
@Preeti - totally the editors' fault. Don't know what they were thinking. As I said in another post, hope this was a momentary falter rather than an indication of standards slipping 😕 There's no point in good writing, good actors and good directors if the editors ruin it all on the cutting room floor.
@Preet - thanks so much! Yes, Sakshi really stepped out of the Parvati mold - even if she was giving a "bhashan", it was a Priya bhashan and not a Parvati one 😆
@Shobha - agree with you on the file business; they should have had a scene explaining this to link it up. As it was, it seemed very out of place. What's the point in doing an investigation on the day of the sagaai and not before?
@Ashima - thanks so much!
@doodleberry - thanks! True, there are other ways of breaking up the engagement and to be honest I was looking forward to Priya doing it because she didn't feel the connection. But this way, Priya remains the innocent, her parents curse Ram instead of her, Ram feels guilty and feels the need to make up for it, Niharika senses her opportunity and all threads are tied. I get, from a dramatic point of view, why it was done this way. But I do still wish otherwise.
@PreciousPri & preety_219 - great analyses, guys!
Preety, thanks for that explanation on the Ganesh-ji murti...I suppose that was the intention here too, the fact that she is so desperate to get Priya married; but it didn't really do what Shipra wanted it to do was to prove her love for Priya.
So sad to hear about your cousin - it is such a disgusting shame that people in India still insist on blaming the woman for such things. It's not in the same context, but I am always reminded of this scene from Dil Bole Hadippa, where Rani is insulted by the guard who tells her that girls cannot play cricket, and a moment later a Devi Maa procession goes past and all the men bow their heads in prayer. And Rani tells them what a strange dichotomy this is - one the one hand, you revere the Goddess and on the other, you insult the human manifestations of her. The rest of the movie was meh, but this scene stood out for me 😆 There is exactly this hypocrisy in many places in India where people are fearful of and reverent towards the Goddess but in their actual lives they daily insult, blame, humiliate and belittle women, considering themselves superior. I hope your cousin finds happiness and strength in herself, in whatever way that might be, marriage or no marriage, 😳
By the way, all - have been trying to "like" all your posts but for some reason the like button is giving me trouble. Rest assured, I have ghost-liked all your posts 😆
