In Fridays episode hints were given as to how things will happen in the wedding.
The events were set off with Radhika in the temple and praying to Kanha that how can she protect Dev without stopping the marriage. She gets the thread and she arrived in Raj Bhawan to give that thread to Dev.
1) Dev telling Barkha that once Radhika stretches her hand towards him he will fight everyone for her rights...Kanyadaan signified stretching of Radhika's hand .
2) Barkha saying that she will make sure that Radhika stretches her hand.
3) RP unknowing allows Radhika and Dev to come in front of each other by giving Dev the flute'signified that dadaji will also unknowingly bless their union.
4) Radhika walked out in a daze hearing Dev's flute and knowingly kept her kanha murthi with the Purohit's bal gopal in the Raj Bhawan...signifying that Radhika will get married to Dev and might enter Purohit mansion but she will not be aware of some things.
5) Dev lost in his flute and suddenly realizing that Rdahika is in front of him signifying that he will also be somewhat lost regarding how Radhika comes in front of him or to be with him...
All of the points excepting the first one has been covered...Barkha engineers stuff'... RP unknowingly does bless Radhika...Dev is still not clear as to how And why RP said yes...I know Barkha told him something but he is not aware of the truth...Radhika is also not aware of the truth and she has got married and most probably will have her bidai done...
Yesterday as I was watching the show I realized that although they were promoting the show as Radhika and Dev's marriage but the show was all about Barkha...she held the centre stage and was in most of the scenes while the leads were relegated to the background and were shown to have no will of their own...so anyone who would have started to see the show from yesterday might think that Barkha is the lead and not Radhika. For this reason Radhika and Dev were dumbed down on Friday...Radhika was made to say dialogues that showed that she is more interested in saving Dev's image than his life (which the real Radhika will not have done) and Dev was made to say that he is waiting for Radhika to stretch herhands...what crap dialogues. But if Radhika and Dev are not dumbed then there is no place for Barkha and since the creatives are in love with Barkha, either Radhika or Dev /or both will be dumbed for Barkha in the screenplay. The entire wedding sequence of yesterday was horribly done...I mean it was squeezed in and rushed through...basically it was CB1 first wedding copy pasted in forward motion...if they give more emphassis to Barkha then this will happen. Actually all the people at the wedding were dumbed down for Barkha...I mean Dev is smiling and getting married and no one is thinking that something is wrong...wah bhayee whah chunnu munuu you and your love for Barkha...
What I liked today was again Mansaram who is dejected that he has to do someone else's daughters kanyadaan...him hesitating to bless the bride because according to him it is Barkha and not Radhika, and the when leaving Radhika turns her head towards her father, he feels that something is not right, there is a doubtful look on his face. Then him standing by himself and RP as usual in his own world only interested in whether Mansaram has eaten or not...so food for his body when his soul is starving because he thinks that he could not do Radhikas Kanyadaan and give her hand to her kk...Radhika getting married to KK was also Mansram's dream...Chenu coming and trying to talk to him...Padma came with food but she actually had apprehension and regret in her eyes...Shanti and her normal blabber and Chenu trying to avoid all that. The other part I like was Radhika's expressions today...specially during bidai. She wanted her baba to be there...the baba with whom she has shared her dreams...the baba who was there holding her hand and soothing her pains...and she was remembering about her childhood ...I liked her expressions when she got to know that her baba won't be there during her bidai...her happiness tirned to sadnessin a fraction of a second.
As for what will happen...again hints are there...
1) Dev's fighting for Radhika statement is still there
2) during Shiv-gauri pooja (shown yesterday) when the pandit gives her the tika...Radhika gets scared and she did not want Padma and Barkha's mother to see the tika, so she takes some from her forehead and gives it to Barkha
3) also today in front of Kanha when they were praying...Radhika thanked Kanha for the marriage and also asked for the happiness of her family (after her marriage traditionally her husband's family becomes her family..but will she understand that it's because of Dev that she has this family) but Dev only thanked for giving him what he wanted and that is Radhika...he is least bothered about any other thing.
4) RP blessed her for becoming an adharsh bahu but not a wife...or an ideal DIL but not a wife.
I wrote this in another thread today but from what I saw of the last few episodes...Radhika's relationship with RP is based on fear and acceptance...fear that her actions might harm Dev and wanting for acceptance as Dev's official wife...this is similar to Radhika's relationship with amma is CB1...she kept quiet out of fear that her babuji will be harmed and she wanted acceptance from amma as Shastrijis own daughter...so that makes Dev somewhat like shastriji here...Radhika of CB2 will most probably do what Radhika of CB1 did (hence maybe giving tika from her head to Barkha)..there it was shatsriji here it is Dev'.but now it depends on Dev...whether they will show Dev fighting with everyone for his marriage and for Radhika...and walk out of the house with Radhika...or whether he will be brought down somewhat and stay in that house with Radhika as his wife in private but Barkha shown to others...or Radhika leaving not telling others and Dev fighting on his own and going out in her search or badi bahu and her knowledge of the secret that might balance out RP and his high ideals (won't mind a badi bahu-RP face off'she can teach him a lesson that he requires again).
Anyway I will leave all the speculations regarding what will or might happen aside and all I can say based on the way they are building up and glorifying dada and Barkha...the tracks will most probably depend on how much Radhika and or Dev will be dumbed down. I am also leaving out the bloopers regarding the marriage because I do not expect them to pay attention to anything that involves Radhika-Dev...well they have already shown that it is Barkha and somewhat RP who are the leads, so why will they bother about Dev and Radhika.
