Thanks kornofuli, for being one among us. Sometimes it is plain disgusting to even come to the CB forum and today was also 1 among those days, though overall I did like the episode today inspite of the nonsense.

Guys,
for me, it is not about the stranger. Just forget the stranger, does it make any more sense without the stranger track too? I am least bothered abt this stranger and these creatives trying to make him pop-up in the middle of each RaDev scene. It is not about the stranger at all.
If for you all it is the stranger during these HM/SR scene for the cause of disappointment, then forgive me, I am not with any of you.

Kudos for the hard work and putting the list of nonsensical things from just one episode.
I am sure there are many more if even i start looking that carefully. I don't even want to do it, bcos I know I will thrash them nicely if once I start.

Just to be on air, they didn't have to pull these HM/SR scenes like an elastic band. Every nonsensical thing is to be on air, be on air, be on air!!! Thats it and nothing else. Can't they be on air with an intelligent story? Rake in money with 0 hard work is their policy and the money they spent on the Malaysia trip, they might have already recovered it by being the ambassadors of Sagar Restaurant.

Gardes,

I poured out my frustrations after watching last Fridays episodes and you are doing it after a day (or two) later episodes. But it doesn't matter, it is the same frustration.

Yesterdays episode for me was the same as that of fridays but with 1 point, that I can consider as the story moved ahead in a minisculest length - which is Vishaka asked to be moved out of RaDev's room. On Friday Dev gives a baashan to Radh that we should not forget out sanskaar and blah. And in yesterdays episode he himself does some stupid things to get kissed by Radhika. The episode began with Dev flip-flopping and forgetting his own dialogue.

On the whole, I did like todays episode though as you mentioned it did have so many inconsistencies and my underlying frustration. Creepy stranger crawling everywhere is just weird. Could this happen in real? No way! I kind of totally ignore that stranger, bcos I know where the creatives are going with this track.

oh! BTW, there was 1 line justification to Dev's ydays behaviour in todays episode, i.e - Radhika says that she is successful in bringing Dev out of his guilt! So, I as a viewer, am supposed to relate this dialogue to yday's Dev behaving stupidly to be kissed by Radh.

A few weeks back I thought the story is picking up in the right direction, but no, the creatives want to upsurge a 'simple beautiful spiritual love story' into a 'masala commercial pot boiler'. Now that the DJs have singed up a big name into their serial, they have to justify it by providing substantial amount of screen time to him, but are doing so with a BS stroyline and BS scenes.

Less said the better about the RaDev SR scenes. As you have already said, instead making the SR beautiful for this 'always abused and tortured girl(Radhika)'[I do still choke up when I think about some of the scenes from the old episodes], they are ruining it for their penchant for giving twists and evoking suspense, but in the end they are only evoking disgust with their disjointed scenes.

I don't mind watching Amma or Vishaka, provided they have some role in an episode. Standing there mouthing the same set of dialogues and expressions in diff PB locations is doing nothing to the story.
BTW, unlike some of my fellow forumers, I do not have problem with Dev having guilt, bcos IMO, he is still in-character of his previous self, similar to Radh who forgave Amma even after she knew Amma had set fire to kill her and was the cause of her burns. So, Dev is feeling guilt bcos he feels like a baby was killed thru him and by taking care of Vishaka he is just being kind and responsible guy, which he always was.

Okay, so the DJs are happy with their TRPs and want to live longer on air, but can they not do better? Is this all the supposedly professional story writers and producers of a show can do? I am not a story writer/teller, but I can def identify when a story is not going the way it is supposed to. After watching CB for so long, I want it to raise, but no, the creatives are hell bent on making it go down. I too feel, why am I wasting my time watching this crap? Earlier I felt no, I should stick on to see atleast how the 1st marriage truth comes out. But now I ask myself - I know so much about these creatives, 1st marriage truth is the only thing remaining in this story and these people want to stay for long on air, hence they may show any nonsense to be on air till then, then why am I supposed to stick on? OK, 1st marriage truth will come out and everything will end happily , so I also know the ending, then why am I supposed to stick on? How does it make any difference?

If they want to show RaDev had an SR and they want to show a beautiful HM and SR, then show it man! Why the hell are you wasting time showing some nonsensical crap. Show it and be done with it and move ahead. Why going in circles after circles after circles?! All that money spend on that Malaysia trip is just wasted by these illogical scenes and dialogues.

Now, when I look back, I ask, what was the reason for the fire incident? - Only to show Dev decorating Radh with flower jewelry? Thats all I can think of as a reason. Bcos we already know Radh is magnanimous and will forgive even a criminal, we did not need that by a demonstration of a fire track. This is where I think that the creatives create illogical sequences to buy air time keep their show surviving on the channel.

Similarly making Vish preg, then making her have miscarriage thru Dev's hands was also unnecessary, just to show Radh could draw Dev out of his guilt and to show her moving towards her husband. He is her husband and she knows what a patni-dharm is .., the creatives didn't need this stupid track to show Radh's taking the initiative to have the SR! Total BS if you ask me. It looks like a silly story. This isn't how the CB story, the way it started and this is not the reason why we kept forgiving these creatives all these while.

Enough is Enough. Either they end this story instead of making mockery of themselves some more or get their acts together and write something of worth.

Bee, up until last Frday, I was in a forgiving mood, forgiving the Creatives for their baloney storylines, jumping around with characterizations, etc. because I was looking for outcomes of the tracks. I even argued with you endlessly about it over time and specially on Friday. Compared to you I was a day late and a dollar short. You caught the frustration bug faster than I did. 😕
Yesterday, I could not take it any more and today, though I listened to the episode while working more than watched, I have not felt the need to watch it again. I was not watching for RaDev's HM or SR. I was the one touting the stranger, because I was tired of the same old, same old and welcomed a new face, but now the stranger is made out to be creepy even before we can understand what is going on. Vish has been limbo for months, at times pathetic, at times scheming... and now, who cares what she is! I still like where the story was going with Dev and Radhika and now even their intelligence has gone up in smoke, again!
The dialogues have deteriorated over time, the editing department is sleeping on the job, the Malaysia scenes are hokey, I can go on and on! Yes the story was heading in the direction we would have happily lived with but not since Malaysia. Is it Malaysia or is it the Shopper's Bazaar in Andheri? Seriously I am more looking at the flaws and the corny dialogues than following the storyline. Is that the DJ's viewing audience and are they happy with who is watching their show?
Have they taken us, their dedicated and elite audience, and thrown us to the wayside in order to celebrate their trps?
Bee, I am with you when you say enough is enough. I thought I could laugh off the bad days and rejoice in the good days, but I too am tired of the crap. My heart goes out to the cast memebers who have to make the most of the crap that the Creatives are dishing out. They are the ones who suffer more than we do and by not watching we can't even appreciate their effort! Seriously!
Thanks for posting, Bee.

I agree with some of you.....though today's episode was nice and romantic but I found lot of things were wierd and irritating.In first two parts they made Dev as a dumb or illogical....he found the green dress but no question in his mind that how it would be there since he didn't pay for that or that strange phone call which Rad got ....he didn't even take that seriously which was very normal for any husband.And the stanger was sneaking around their room ....oh God I was feeling really nasty.The historical ghooghgat part......creatives showed that before so many times and so many way that this time it was kind of stale and charmless.....really I wouldn't be surprised if the stranger was the one who lifting the ghoonghat this time😆 😆Even though it doesn't look like their SR gonna be complete without any interruption.....but I am just hoping for the best.

Totally agree with all the writers.

I'm mad 😡 at the script writers and even more mad at myself 😡😡 for wasting so much time on this show. I tolerated all the stupidness from day one only because of Radev but now because of even more stupidness on the writers/creators part, for me, even Radev are losing their charm. The creators have strayed so far off from the original track that they don't know how to get back on track. After the SR ( if it happens) that's it for me. I wanted to see Radev get married and now have their marriage consumated........after that I really don't care anymore.

Thanks, Shadow. We are all feeling mighty frustrated with the show fr aour various reasons. Something's got to go! Either it is me or the Creatives team and I get the feeling it will be me fairly soon, if things don't change.

Bee thanks yaar, I agree with u completely. I liked today's episode overall, yes they were gliches in that i dont see y they had to show the stranger alongside radev scenes. But like u for me its not about the starnger, CB is about radev and i enjoyed each and every scene with them today. Dev was acting like his true old self today i think he is completely there now, hopefully this wouldnt change when he returns to PB. I was lost and engrossed in our sweet jodi scenes i didnt even realise the stranger was in the episode, for me it was like he wasnt there. Forget about the stranger and vish kanya everyone and just take in the scenes with our beloved jodi, they were magical today.

Good post. The story is getting boring now. What happen to their original concept? I feel sorry for the main actors because it seems that they even don't know what creators are doing. Because in an interview, Avinash had said that there will no twists in Malaysia. Avi-Rubi are extremely talented actors. They deserve better. They could have brought the Mr. S track more sensibly rather than just dumbing him in between beautiful moments. There was no need to bring Vivek and Vaishali scenes to instigate Vishaka-Amma. That was completely out of character. Creators: Your story will be more interesting if you bring Vikram back from your memory lane and his relationship to Purohits. Vikram-Vishaka trying to take over RajPurohitship and how would Radhika-Dev fight for their inherit rights (Raj Purohit Position). It is about time that Radhika confesses to their first marriage. Dev will be angry and heartbroken at first, but eventually he will melt down towards Radhika, when he comes to know about what conspire after that wedding and hopefully will be more protective towards Radhika. Creators please keep your own unique original storyline. You started to deviate from that when you brought back Vishaka's character and her loose end plots. It is never too late to bring back your original story that we were so proud to watch.

Tazzi, thanks for posting your thoughts. I miss the original concept and these hanging storylines. You can't trust interviews and you can't trust precaps and what is left is disjointed and corny stuff. Thanks, Creatives (with loads of sarcsm!).

I was so glad to read this post, Last week when they introduced the stranger i had started a post naming BAD timing creatives. NO one seemed to be bothered about it. That exactly was my point that when they spent so much money on an out door shoot they should have given us just the HM and SR. Nothing else. The last day of their departure they could have introduced the twist or suspense. I was so disappointed today its not even funny. And not one dialog made sense, not one scene was consistent. I am going to start a post writing all these
Things that did not make sense
1) What was with eating at Sagar restaurant. I know they wanted to give them credit but that was a very bad way of doing it
2) Rads and Dev's conversation in the car, why he did not take her to Sagar. I just did not get it. Was he trying to be funny or was there something missing. His expressions were very confusing
3) Then at the restaurant, Dev insisting Rads to order, If she does not know English then how could she order.
4) Then the female speaking the native language, they should have at least had subtitles what was that??
5) Then the shopping scene...Sari's in that shop... The dress that dev liked was something similar to what Vishakha was wearing during her shoots in Mumbai. For a split sec i thought may be he was looking for someone more like Vish? The concept was fine He wants to see her in western clothes but very poorly shown
6) The hotel was all over the place. Nothing and i mean not one scene was coordinated with the other. Their room was so different when she is putting her sari and the stranger in her room.
7) The dialogs with the stranger...
8) how come Rads was just standing with her back to the guy for so long with out realizing someone was behind her
9) then the room changed completey with stairs in the room?????? what was going on there.
10) How on earth did the stranger see Rads in the Green dress,He was so prompt in calling and letting her know that he knew she would look good in that, was he watching her change?
11) Dev's reaction was shocking...
12) They did not show what was written on the bag....
13) They said his room was right above theirs on the 4th floor and then their room had stairs.. god really are they all even trying to work together
14) Where are the icecream scenes. Did i miss them????
15) where are the dev running behind the train scene???
16) And then suddenly the dev asking for kisses, just did not make any sense...
17) I did not see Rads shoe changing with every scene i am sure that happened but so was her nailpolish.
18) Ghoongat scene was just horrible.
19) the door to the room when Dev opens it to get the cake looked like thier PB main door.
And the starnger everywhere has just ruined the SR for me. I was banking on RADEV dialogs but now they too don't make any sense.
20) the list is endless. Anyway i will put this as another post too so people can add things to it. Creatives I have no idea if you guys make any sense anymore. I sometimes wonder why am i even spending my time on this. I love RADEV and i mean i really love them. i have been with them from the start. I was very very very disappointed with the burning track.. But somehow continued to watch it as i had invested too much time in to them. All thru out in CB land they have made no sense of the medical backing. And i being in that field ignored it thinking i am watching it for RADEV but now they have not been making any sense either. Lets see. I am sure every viewer has a saturation point. ..I will see how long will i last. Last year i was in love after the famous hug scene but now when they are together i am disgusted with this starnger stalking them.

What i feel worst about is that the creatives are just not listening to us. They have stabbed us from the back with the burning track. They raised our hope and trust in Kanha that he would take care of Rads and then burnt her on the one day that was the most precious in her life. And now they are doing it all over again with SR/ HM.....

I should post this before i lose what i have written

Wow Devradhika4 ever! This is a truely amazing list. I too notice things but never like this. So now I know that like me you too are looking for the inconsistencies rather than really watching the show. On bad days, this is exactly what I used to do. Now I am going to sit with your list and check all this out and fall on the floor laughing!
You are right that we are not some ganwaars who don't know and don't understand! We are taken for granted for the sake of their TRPs. The Creatives have turned a once beautiful story into a joke and I for one am sick of it.
Thanks for taking the time to create the list and posting in the thread.

Gardes, kudos to you for putting up such a thought provoking post👏 I have been MIS from this forum and CB for past week or so mainly for the same reason, frustration. I am so fed up with creatives and their nonstop going around the bush is just driving me crazy. My tolerance broke when they turned Dev into a #1 Dumbo. I was not against him for feeling guilty or helping Vish Kanya but I was and still am against him for resorting to bring her home and then having audacity to impose that characterless witch on his family and had no regards for them what so ever. That did it for me. I've had enough of CB. I have no doubt in my mind that these creatives will go to any length for TRPs.

This so called HM/SR has turned into a big dud, at least for me. I only saw yesterday's and today's episodes and I have to admit, I was not very impressed by it at all. None of the RaDev scenes were able to generate any kind of positive reaction out of me. Very very disappointed the way the whole thing has been portrayed.

A major character of CB is being eliminated day by day and that is Kanah. Before Radhika wouldn't step out of the house without her kanah idol and now she hardly even mentions his name. I know everyone says now Dev is her real life kanah so need for the idol, but i disagree...i think it's just the idiot creatives ploy to wean away kanah from the show😡 The reason I started watching this show was Kanah then Radhika and then Dev (Gardes you must surprised reading this but it's the truth). I want kanah and his divine intervention back...even if it's just Radhika's subconscious, i want him back. If there is anyone creatives should eliminate, it's that old hag Amma and her poti Vish kanya. I really can't stand watching these two anymore. i am not much bothered by this new character, Mr. Stranger but the other two witches really need to go. They have been way over utilized in this show and it's high time the focus is now turned to other characters.

I still feel the worst is yet to come in form of further character butchering of Dev and the rest of the positive characters. my gut feeling tells me that all this trust and understanding that Dev has in Radhika will vanish in one go thanks to the old hag and Vish kanya. Creatives will leave no stone unturned to push him in Vish kanya's arms and bed🤢 I will be very very surprised if this scenario does not get played out soon or later, I can almost bet my life that it will😡

Thanks, Kornofuli. I am known as someone who does not know how to keep my mouth shut. I will make my points before I withdraw and you should feel comfortable doing the same. I am happy you chose to post your opinion here. I really appreciated you speaking up and agreeing with Bee and others aabout how the show has turned away from the original concept that we all loved. I am with you a 100% about CB being an innocent love story and about Radhika who overcomes so many obstacles to finally get what she wants.
