Worst track for Nandini - Page 3

So it is not an issue if they wanted to go back to their original theme and want Nandini to be their next balika vadhu

They have shown nice In laws like Sumi and Bhairon - but inspite of that it was still wrong.

Most of the time it looked like they were endorsing Bal Vivah of J and A at that time.

Everything looked rosy until the gap between J and A came out.

They just couldn't sell successfully that it failed because it is a child marriage

Anandi's education was stopped by Dsa and her subjugation by dsa in order to make her ideal beendini - actually widened the gap between J and A and that led to adultery and subsequent callous behaviour of J towards Anandi.

Child marriage was responsible for that communication gap and the growing distance between J and A. Adultery was his own doing falling for Gauri was also sign of his own weekness and immaturity and he had no business to give bal vivah as an excuse to his adultery if he blamed bal vivah and traditional beliefs for the growing distance between him and his wife the sepertation would have been purely because of Bal Vivah and he too could have been called a victim - Child marriage and subjugation and subsequent betrayal suppressed Anandi's original personality

I think now they are going overboard by showing everybody as a villain in Nandini's life to show how bad Bal vivah is.

Sure they are very backward thinking and have same beliefs regarding traditional practices and place of girls and women in the society. Those two are enough to subjugate a girl even if she is their beendini without resorting to physical violence.

I think this family is very OTT.That man Akhera Singh could be shown as a cahauvnist and blinded by traditions and that woman could have been shown as just as staunch as Dsa and doted on her son.That was enough to make them as villains without beating her up.

The only character which looks interesting is that Mangla Devi - who seemed to be a thinking kind of individual but no power or no voice to speak up. She is using that blind belief about Devi ma visiting on her to speak out her mind.

So the kind of people they are is enough to show the oppression in detail without going into graphic details like beating up Nandini or starving her.

I think they should tone down violence

Looks like they don't want to make the mistakes they made with JA marriage so they are going to other extreme.

Similarly, the new family is so OTT and the way this brand new bal-vivah happened is ridiculous because the creatives cannot think rationally. Even the new balika vadhu does not look like she was tortured all these years - she can be compared to Rasika - who never looked like a tortured wife (and indeed she was not a tortured wife), here they will show torture, but make the kid so healthy, happy, and to borrow words of some other member - with all the make-up etc. She does not look like a spirited girl who has found a way to cope up with torture - she looks like a normal child who has become defiant to discipline imposed by elders.

That relationship between two kids has indeed been beautiful with all it's ups and downs

The reason for the widening gap between them was the same traditions and beliefs - it was a marriage that happened at an age that shouldn't happen and it was subjected to much stress called long distance marriage to hamper things further the communication gap between them which was brought about by disparity in education and exposure to the world outside. For all these things it was Dsa Sumi Bhairon and Anandi's parents are responsible.

But for the way the marriage broke up because of adultery only one person with all his inherent weaknesses was responsible.He embraced the bal vivah when it suited him - consummating his marriage and physical relationship with Anandi and then again he endorsed the same child marriage with Gudiya to justify the marriage with Gauri and then he denounced his same marriage with Anandi saying it is imposed on him.

So the CVs did fail there in breaking up a child marriage in a logical way - They could have shown him refuse to accept his wife and seperating from family because of this issue alone and years later after Anandi got educated she could have been shown separating from him using legal means.

They otherwise did a very good job of showing the plight of child brides in a very realistic way What they couldn't show through Anandi they showed through Phooli Champa Rani who became infertile because she became pregnant while she was still a child and showed how these girls have become a burden to themselves to the familes and to the society at large paying a huge price for being born as a girl child.

If it had not been for this show I would not have realized what all things girls go through in communities where this custom exists. For me it was just a news which I read in news papers till the show came with this subject

-------------

Director Siddharth Sengupta who is an acclaimed director has been brought back to direct the post leap episodes. He is the same director who directed the begining episodes first 100 or so episodes of the show and then handed over to Pradeep Yadav who is just as good. Now again it is only this director.

If they are investing so much in this Nandini's story - they might as well put in efforts to make the story more convincing with better tracks and well written scenes.

If so much is riding on that little girl Nandini they should come up with better writing
