Doc will make a late entrance. It is one of those days where she and Murphy duke it out, she overpowers him but not before it is late for most EST folks.

J (oops, sorry J-J), first of all, 🤗

Beautiful takes - As usual.

Your choice of words are F-F (fantabulous, obviously 😉). Who else can think of "frog marched around the fire for the pherasl", "senior citizen version of "I'm watching you" - minus the eye poke." 👏

However, I guess I need to PM you to decode SRJ (SRK, I know but SRJ? )

I am yet to watch the episode. So no verdict as of now 😃 However, I guess I will watch because of bitiya whom I started liking from the show-which-can-not-be-named. Just like how I will watch bitwa's movie-that-can-not-be-named 😃

Hi Pallavi!
Hope you are doing well. 👍🏼 to bold above; now if only most had that attitude the fathom would be so much happier and united!

Lady J, Thank God for small mercies and we have the Take 5's again here. I hardly venture out in the forum and I definitely need some Take 5's to put my point across and more than that my pet peeve's with the serial across. So I would give that yesterday's episode was much better compared to the first 2 but still I say that it is little too early to be in this phase for this serial. The first few weeks are the ones where in you build your characters and slowly show their way of thinking by their actions and if there are any clashes then it is shown through the way they do stuff in general and then you set up the clash. One thing you ought to know is that most people lose interest if the story line or plot is predictable. So for the makers sake I do hope they wouldn't be this predictable in future(looking at yesterday the story is quite clear and hence this point) because boy girl falling in love without knowing their identities and then MIL-DIL clashes are done to death in so many soaps before and may not hold the audience interest much longer.

Coming to the episode, things that didn't work for me

- The background was not at all in sync with the mood of the show.

- I absolutely hated the 'return of the handwa'

- The male lead and the sidekick are not working for me. But yesterday since they were there only for 2 mins, I could jhelofy them. So going forward hopefully the screen time for them would be less and I can tolerate them through out the show till the end.

- Supriya's role turned out to be vampish from yesterday - It is now no longer an strict and arrogant matron but it is going to be a saas who will extract her pound of revenge from chanchan once she becomes her DIL. My guess is Umaben will act all nice when the son will come forward with love affair with Chanchan and then get her as a DIL and then torture her. NAHHHIII - Can't see this storyline please bhagwanji.

- And the most important turn off was there were no strong dialogues for the Dad and the bride. Makers you are taking an stand against an evil practice here - then show the one who is going to do it as strong. Rather if you show them crying and being hapless then it exactly doesn't show that they are happy doing it and your message would be watered down. Had they shown one dialogue of Purvi or her Dad saying - 'I want to marry/my daughter to marry/ someone who trusts her and who would cherish her and I am confident that such a person will come and I have no regrets taking this decision', I would have applauded the makers for this statement. But the whole thing was Chanchan fighting the case and Umaben opposing it with the father-daughter duo crying and being hapless. That is what I meant when I said that things like this ought to be shown correctly or they end up being preachy and the correct impact of it is lost.

Apart from that for the first week report for this show - I would still say unless there is some good storyline going forward, it would be difficult to rein in viewers only with Supriya-Sanaya name-brand because the truth is there are so many saas-bahu shows on air and this show is slowly going that way so there would be no uniqueness or the x-factor to tune in. And I don't have any hopes whatsoever on the male lead. He aint going to help out there. Just hope they cast good girl against the brother of Chanchan( he was in Saas Bina Sasural and is a good actor) and I can watch his love story with hopefully ChanChan helping him out. And looking forward to the introduction of the male lead's family in the coming week.

Meens - right there, you nailed my other pet peeve. This one ranks just behind "sneezing into one's hands".

You strike casting gold - you use it wisely. Or you land up with same-old, same-old story of talented cast members being forced into a one-dimensional slot.

Been there, seen that 😕

Exactly my point too Meena and Lady J. You need to steer out of the same-old story of saas-bahu when you have talented actress playing the roles. Been there and seen that and that makes me lose interest more quickly

J, I'm getting a little insecure now, should I be worried about a division of love? 😳

I actually invested in a mini ipad on Boxing Day and it is thoroughly abused because of uncuts. Oh the ol' days!! 😔

Hi Riya🤗
Good to see you back n hope you are doing well.
Is you passion and addiction to ODB; the actor and character still going strong?

I was really thinking that is what would play out the first week. Her bonding with her parents and family. She seems to be the cynosure of both her parents and I would have liked scenes that focus on the dynamics of her family before they shift the focus to his family next week.
