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.
