Today's Take - Showdown! - Page 4

nice post 😊

For the first time ever in a TV show I am seeing someone confessing things like this without making things up just to cover up the situation Mukut was honest and straight forward he isn't a lair he speak from his POV. I hope CVS keep this track from another week or 2 and not end it so soon would love to see how Chanchan and Manav handle the situation I think CC will help Kumuti out this will be another step of changing the rules Mukut himself will come back to the kids and Kumudi.

Great take Dia! I was shocked at how UB blamed her DIL as if her son could do no wrong, I have yet to see him be a good father but it is what it is. I'm not surprised he is ready to leave, he wants his freedom and it looks like he will get it based on the precap but did his wife really leave on her own or was this CC's doing?? I have to admit Mukut's reaction surprised me but I guess he expected his wife to continue being the dutiful bahu

i too liked strday episode...

although I didn't watch the epi but after reading all the posts in this thread now I can say I can recall all the moments as if I have actually watched them :-P I am just loving this show. and yes I too want cvs to explore this track a little longer and in depth. as usual the team is best. I think cast and crew of all those shows is great in which sanaya doll plays one of the lead roles :-P

Yes, really hope the cv's take their time over this and explore the different relationships in depth. The acting of the entire cast is good, and it's always a pleasure to watch when you can relate with the characters.

Another good episode!

Not surprised that UB blamed Kaumudi, it was expected of her. She can never think that her sons are wrong. I think this is the problem of most MIL's not just UB! But I was dissapointed that nobody else other than CC opposed to UB even though they didn't seem to agree with her. Even babuji and Manav remained quiet.

I liked how Babuji was in support of his DIL though, and said that Mukut can stay if he is ready to forget Mayuri!

The scene with all the bahus was very good. Like how they all are in support of Kaumudi. The CC- Manav scene was also fab The hug was cute! Hope that CC wanting to talk to Mayuri doesn't worsen the situation further. It'll give UB another chance to prove that she's not right for the family.

Excited for the next episode, eager to know what made Kaumudi leave the house.

I'm not surprised at UB either ... though she is going to find it tough to explain why Kaumudi is the one at fault, when all along Kaumudi has been her favorite bahu and the adarsh DIL ... UB wanted a girl like Kaumudi for Manav as well! Now suddenly it's all Kaumudi's fault, and her son is blameless! As Chhanchhan said, if Mukut had problems with Kaumudi, why did he not try to sort them out by talking to her? Rather than jump straight into finding another woman?!

Let's see if UB does manage to sway the others to her side ... the other three bahus are firmly with Kaumudi, that was good to see ... I guess RanSan both feel that the same thing could happen to them, and they're also the outsiders. Manek was definitely unhappy at UB's comment, Manthan was contemplative.

Waiting to see how this plays out further!

Loved your post Diya, and of course loved today's episode a lot!

The drama was perfect. Very well acted by everyone.. Mukut's revelation and everyone's reaction, including Sanjana Ranjhana's... Manthan and even Manek had some shocking reaction on his face!!!

I was really puzzled to see Mukut's unapologetic and uncompromising avatar.. Its good BUT the question is, where was all these arrogance and determination all these years 😕??? Suddenly bursting like this?? Seems like Manav has created a bad example at home 😉. People are forgetting how to keep mum in front of UB! If only he could have shown this years

ago.. One more thing about Mukut I think is going too much beyond limit. The way he keeps insulting kaumadi all the time, is totally unacceptable. As if she is not a human being..

Like you said, the entire scene at Kaumadi's room with all DILs was really touchy!

UB was doing exactly what is expected from her.. But Babuji amazed me today.. His righteousness is highly appreciated!

Manav Chhanchhan scenes were very good.. There was another interesting thing between them..at the beginning when CC tried to comfort and assure manav in her style, manav was still very confused and he didn't respond to her assurance immediately..

But after the whole episode, after seeing her moves and maturity, he was kind of convinced and got back his confidence and trust in CC and finally agreed that he is lucky to get CC as his wife. It was very thoughtful of CV to show it this way..

Thank you! 😃 You know, till yesterday, I sympathised with Mukut to some extent ... felt that Kaumudi did need to change her ways and stop being perfect DIL all the time. But last night changed that - he came across as a complete jerk! Kaumudi does try to talk to him, to discuss things with him, but he is not interested. He doesn't even like her to sit with him for a cup of tea! And the way he let loose at her about being gaon ki ganwaar ladki was really insulting ... all these years didn't he know she was a village girl? And if he did, and he wanted something different, did he ever ask her to try to change for him? Or help or support her in all the duties that Umaben kept loading on her?

Good point about the difference in Manav before and after the showdown ... before he was doubtful about CC's ability to sort things out ... but later he was confident. I guess CC standing up to Umaben about Kaumudi, and telling her how she and Manav also had differences but they sorted them out between them ... and the fact that CC managed to stop Mukut from leaving by talking about his girls ... where even Umaben agreed with her ... he saw these and realised that CC was tackling things very maturely and thinking about the entire situation ...
I also like that the CV's are showing Chhanchhan really well ... she is not jumping in and taking over the entire situation like a heroine ... she stays in the background when required, and speaks up when required ... and all the older members of the family all play their parts. Babuji's character has been well maintained too ... the brothers continue to be very much in character and well defined. Very well balanced.

I would blame Uma completely for this disaster. She expected Kaumodi to be a 100 % sanskari bahu to the household and never gave her the opportunity to be a wife to Mukut. The scene when Mukut wanted his wife to go for concert while Kaumodi stayed back to cook for the family proves that. Uma controls everything about the bahus. I was not surprised when she had the nerve to partly blame Kaumodi for her son's mistakes and from her expressions it seemed like she knew in her heart that it was her own fault to totally hog Kaumodi's time leaving no time for her husband.

This family has different rules for men vs women and Uma falls into men category

Like you Dia, even though I agreed with UB's thoughts to a small degree, as soon as the words came out of her mouth I wanted to prove her wrong. I think her trying to understand where Mukut was coming from was justified because until this point he had been an exemplary son, brother and father so she was right to wonder what it was that stopped him from being the perfect husband too, I just feel that it happened too quickly. This is the first time I've felt the pace hampered the story and we missed some emotional exchanges that were needed, there should have been a scene of UB going over tho Kaumudi and hugging her or at least holding her hand and saying it would be ok. It was really sweet though to have Mansi go and stand next to Kaumudi. The cvs caved in to the camera man today and let him do his face panning...meri hi nazar lag gayi, I was so happy that this show avoided that scenario😭 I feel bad for Kaumudi because she didn't have any inkling at all of the state of her marriage or perhaps she did and not knowing what to do further buried herself in the role of being a good bahu. Chhan chhan made a valid point that Mukut was wrong because he didn't try to sort out his issues with Kaumudi and instead looked outside the home for companionship. Mukut is not inherently bad because though he could care less about society he did stop at the mention of his daughters. Talking of daughters I hope that Kaumudi's parents will also be brought to task for not instilling self esteem into their daughter...because that in itself would take care of a lot of wrongs against women in this world (sorry, I know I've mentioned this many times before but it's a pet peeve that just bothers me a lot). Anyway I guess CC is going to take care of that parental duty.

I'm not sure how I feel about CC talking to Mayuri because what right does anyone have to make her feel guilty when Mukut doesn't care and if Mukut feels so strongly then surely if Mayuri left him he would eventually find someone to replace her. Mayuri is not the problem here.

Even after watching twice I couldn't understand what Dadaji said... is he leaving for good or is it just a short visit to the ashram? I hope he's not leaving because he definitely increases the enjoyment quotient of the show.

What did you think of Manthan's reaction to all that happened. He looked shocked but at the same time he seemed to be assessing everyone's reactions too almost as though he wanted to know what would happen if he were in a similar situation. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

The episode was rounded off nicely with that perfect hug which was both appropriate and necessary.

Jaya, I was not really very surprised at Umaben's sudden change ... for a woman like her, she is always right ... and by extension, her sons are always right! So the switch from Kaumudi is her best bahu to blaming her for the problem, didn't really surprise me too much. Though when she started speaking, I was like ... yes, she's saying what we all thought ... but then she switched almost immediately to - my son is a great son, brother and father, so how can he be a bad husband?

It's okay to say that there must be fault on both sides, but to say that the fault has to be with Kaumudi alone is wrong!

Today I was quite happy with the panning to all the faces ... it did bring out the drama more effectively ... this was a shocker of a revelation and it was good they showed the reactions appropriately. Much more shocking than the first love marriage in the family ... Just hope TRP maata is happy too!!! 😉

Kaumudi was trying her best ... I think she has been brought up with that mindset that marriage for a woman consists of only duties, and she has to fulfil them all to be a good wife. And also that a woman has to put up with how her husband treats her ... many women are still brought up that way, that marriage is the be all and end all of their lives, and they have to nibhao it come what may. Their personal happiness and self-respect is very low down on the priority list. I really hope CC changes that mindset... if a woman cannot respect herself, then no one else will respect her.

Yep, I'm also not sure about CC talking to Mayuri ... now that its clear Mayuri knows Mukut is married, then what is it going to achieve? Surely if Mayuri felt strongly enough about that, she would step out of the way herself, it wouldn't need anyone else to persuade her not to break up a marriage. Unless they are going to paint Mayuri as a typical vamp out for money ... I really hope they don't go that way, and make her just a lonely woman looking for some companionship ... who has swallowed Mukut's sob story of how his wife is all wrong for him.

Manthan's reaction was very interesting ... he had this speculative look all right ... watching all the reactions closely. But then he usually does that ... I think the next track after this is going to be Manthan, and I'm looking forward to that one ... he is a far more slippery character than Mukut, who was a Chupa Rustom!

Loved the hug at the end ... we need to send a message to the cv's that every episode has to have a two minute ChhanMan scene with some romance ... otherwise we get withdrawal symptoms!😳😆
