Misti Di,

Good thoughts. Have enjoyed reading your commentary everyday. 😃 ...

Thank you Kiddo.

Yes please, CMs. Would like to know the reasoning behind Mansaram bringing up Radhika ... cannot understand this scenario. He knws what caste she is and is also providing her with good education by sending her to Gurukul whilst his real children, Chanda and Chenu are without any education so there is more to it. If so, please show it. Now is the right time and of interest.

Infact Kiddo, Chenu is without the same education and Chanda went to the same gurukul but here Shanti forced it ........Mansaram was ok with Radhika going to gurukul and the birth children going to some normal school. Mansaram is not an assertive person and usually he is ok to just let things be and follows his wifes wishes. From Shantis reaction to Radhika one can guess that she was not in favour of this adoption and she was forced to accept it because of the promise Mansaram gave to the village council or the panchayat. So what made Mansaram do something that is against his nature and go against his wife inorder to bring baby Radhika home. Shanti for the first time openly accepted that she is a step mother here and she always refers to Mansaram as Radhika's father. So thats why requested the creatives to clear the situation here.........because there may be viewers like you and me who will be thinking the same questions regarding this families scenario.

So the truth has hit both Dev and Radhika at th same time .... I was expecting more from Radhika's reaction. ok that the family lied to her, she knows her mothers nature but the father whom she had always trusted, loved and looked upto for support, was also involved by keeping quiet ... so was expecting a more emotional dialogue exchange between the father and daughter. For me, it was also rushed. But Rubina was good in the scene.

Yes for me too......Radhikas part was rushed........hope they show more here.....the father-daughter interaction and also her reaction regarding her mothers betrayal.........Radhika has been yearning for mothers love all through her life.......Shanti knew that and used it to stage this charade,,,,,,,Radhiks dreams regarding her mother has been shattered and there has to be a reaction from Radhika on this. Also Radhika- Chenu interaction is needed.

Liked Dev's questioning to Kanha regarding the loss in his life, first his parents and then the person whom he loves. Avinash was good with his expressions and also emoted well but agree about the screaming and shouting part. Well, he is very good in emotional scenes, especially when he has to show pain, hurt and anger ... one can feel what he going thru. Oh, it was heartbreaking to watch.

Avinash was good in Mansarams house.........in the car.....and yes its the shouting that somehow did not work for me........the dialogues were fine. He has done better jobs before.

Finally, want to see a good reason behind Dev backing out. His decision does not need to be immediate ... even if Dev overhears Rohan agreeing to marry the girl that has been chosen for him (as shown in precap), show him still making efforts to talk to Rohan about it .. what I am trying to say is that I do not want to see Dev backing out just on the basis of overhearing Rohan - BB convo. Becuase Dev knows what Rohan is about. Show him thinking and questioning stuff. Am I making sense here, Misti Di? Hope I am.

Kiddo you are making sense here and yes this part now can be stretched for many episode..........and this is what might also hook the audience........ he knows Rohan and should guess that Rohan has always bowed down to the badi bahus pressure and he is doing it again............show him breaking down when he is alone.......

It was a good episode and the story is progressing further. Whatever they now show, can be shown in an interesting way and the story has potential.

Yes here.

Misti interesting reading ur comments I liked the way the story moved forward . Dev knowing the truth is completely shattered and heartbroken. and having a dialogue with kanha on the lines of kyun Kanha Kyun and shouting from the cliff top and Pandit gyan was a little bit dramatic but after all this is a drama.Avinash was very good enacting this part.

Mansa and Chenu trying to prevail on Shanti to tell the truth and finally Radhika overhears the truth that she is getting married but not the complete truth on who is the bridegroom. Liked everyones acting in the Mansa household specially Rubina and the actors who play her mom and Dad. Her mom appears to be the most practical of the lot in her thinking but not in the modality of how to go about it.She tries to use different of emotional blackmails but Radhika is soft and firm.

Now I want to see how Dev and Radhika fight back their fate and what drama will take place now.

Misti,

Thanks for your thoughts and double thanks for coaxing, cajoling or convincing( whichever applicable) CM to give an emotional aspect of human feelings.

You are welcome.😉

It was a maiden effort on their part and by practise then can perfect the scenario. Anyway a good beginning with their attempts. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised they took this route but i dont want to fail in appreciating when they have tried to give what we wanted to see.

Yes......I do remember you writing before that you will be pleasantly surprised that if they show anything of this sort.😉😃......They were much better yesterday but I want more from the creatives....😃 for this show.

The drama in the Mansa family was perfect, shanthi was at her best with her arguments and thought process. she has no hesitation in telling the harsh truths, to an extent she is not too much of a hypocrite maybe manipulative but the end she is practical when she thinks the overall welfare of her family. I also liked the fact that she forces Radhika to give her due to the family and it is payment time now. To deal with these kind of people even though they are evil is far better than the cunning ones of whom we have no clue and when they are likely to stab you from behind.

Oh Shanti is quite open about her feelings and she openly manipulates......and you are right its much better to deal with these people openly than the cunning one who make a sweet face but then stab you when you are least expecting it. Atleast now Radhika knows exactly what the mother is and she can come out of her dreamworld regarding her mother and face the reality. It will be interesting to watch how she deals with her mother now......hopefully she will stop believing her mother blindly and think before taking any decisions.

Y'day Avinash's acting gave me the impression that he acted to the requirements of the director, he is a natural and knows how to emote on his own and it is good if he is given a free hand to portray the emotions on his own. for me he was found wanting. sorry for offending some of you here.

Ah.........Thank you Radha......actually both Rubina and Avinash are naturals and they do better when they are left on their own to emote.......I think they have been letting Rubina do that........they should also let Avinash do that.

Padma-Rohan interaction was very good. I liked the way she committed to her son that after meeting the girl if he is still unhappy she will ensure that it will get cancelled. I have been rooting for you Padma, way to go.👍🏼 support your son., you have my blessings.😉

Oh she has my blessing too....😉😃

Padma is a strong person with a mind of her own. e.g last week there was the PB gathering and the talk was about who should go with the shagun to Mansa's family when BB dismissed that it is a weaver family and it will not be nice for the PB member to go there. Padma was not very happy about it and she expressed her willingness to accompany Dev which was disapproved. Mohini went one step ahead and said that Mansa family can be stationed in dharmshala at the time of marriage and Padma was quick to put her in her place. Padma is respectful to BB and nothing wrong about it but she ensured that Mohini will not get the same right to sit on Padma's head and dictate terms. For me Padma is a strong person who at this point is positive too.

The Padma that I saw yesterday was more in tune with the Padma before the leap......so if she is really a strong person then there has to be a reason why she is keeping quiet...........she was not that differential before the leap when she used to speak her mind, when she thought it is necessary. So there has to be some other reason why she is keeping quiet and letting the badi bahu rule over her son.......that is why a monologue from Padma explaining her reasons to the audience will be good .........the other characters need not be aware of her reasons.

There are more things I want to say but let us see how this discussion goes and then I can come back later.

Misti ... loved your thoughts, as usual

Thankyou.....so no chappals.😉

The episode was very good and had a good mix of what most of us were asking for ... good job, chunnu munnu ........Yes......

Thought Avinash did a fabulous job conveying grief initially and then anger ... Maybe the anger and the outburst was a little early (also they should not have had the echo) ... but still very well done ... I am a big fan of Avi's expressions and dialogue delivery ... and I thought he was very good today. They probably could have had him deliver the same dialogue in a lower tone but this worked for me too ... esp the switch from a happy go lucky guy to someone who feels that everything has suddenly been snatched from him. Liked his dialogues and his expressions

I am liking the way everyone is gently chidding me here......😉......don't jump on me I am just joking. The switch was fine .......I mean the change from happy go lucky to someone who thinks everything has been snatched from him......I would have been dissapointed if they did not show this switch.

Rubina was excellent too ...i think she very effectively conveyed her grief through her eyes. Btw Rubina is looking and acting fabulous

Rubina has improved a lot....Whatever she did to improve herself is working and kudos to her.

Rads family was very good too ... Shantha as usual, selfish but practical ... and some of what she said made sense given her circumstances

Yes.........here too.

Liked Rohan/padma relationship ... let's see where they go from here

I hope they show more here and it is not a one off thing.

Liked the episode but agree with most of what you have pointed out
- they can stretch Rads/her father/Chenu confrontation a little bit more
- hope this is just the beginning of showing Dev's grief ... glad he decides to do something abt it ... but i hope the reasons they give for him backing out do not let his character down
- it will be nice to slowly learn details of both rad's and dev's births and how they came to be adopted

Yes to all.

Let's see what tomorrow brings ...

Finally, I do hope they have a good long term story in mind ... and do not swing wildly based on short term TRPs

Yes.

I think there is no importance about Shanti,s blabbering about leaving the Baby at their doorsteps , it was kind of spoken in anger...As Radhika is shown eldest ,and when baby Radhika was left alone ,nobody was ready to take her responsibility then Mansa would have agreed to take her responsibility because of being a soft hearted person,and Shanti not had objected that time as she did not have any kid that time..Yes instead of viewers assuming the circumstances of why baby Radhika was left to be brought up in lower cast family being the Brahmin baby....Again Shanti,s blabbering about being the step-mother and Mansa to be real father , is nothing of significance....Here Rahika was always close to Mansa as he always stood for her....This time PH can develop the tracks, going slow with story ....Rohan- Dev... Radhika- her parents.....Rohan - his mother / maheshwari.....Dev -Radhika

It is the drama element and a reasonable and proper one at that which catches more eyeballs as it is more gripping the more the drama the more the TRPs if we see the shows which make to the top list Hope with this we r in for that drama to make the episodes interesting not only in Mansa household but at PB also

Originally posted by: misti73

Chalhov I know that a well made drama hooks the audience and gets TRPs. I have infact also mentioned in my thought thread before that all top shows slowly build up drama and then go for the kill........so if they want the show to do well they will have to bring in well made drama in both the families........Mansas family is delivering but for me the Purohits need more work.
