Drunk!Gauri was spectacular. She was asking all the right questions, not taking any of Omkara's shit be it verbally or physically. I loved her. LOVE! Matlab ishq level love. And like always Omkara had no answer. I really thought she'd drop a hint about what was actually going on in the wedding of KT-Gauri where Omkara first started hating Gauri but the conversation remained vague till the end. A glass of water had her sobered up and back to the hesitating, simpering idiot who stammers through two sentences despite not having done anything wrong. Once again we saw Omkara throwing Gauri out of the room. But for what? Once again she was brought back in the room. Once again Omkara accused her of doing dramas. Once again she said she'd leave. Once again he left the room. We've seen it all before, POINT kya hai?
I don't understand Omkara. I don't understand his intentions. He is making Gauri do everything and she IS doing it. But phir bhi usse takleef hai? CVs are just looking for pathetic excuses to keep them together but not giving them ANY legit reason to remain so. At least with Khidki Pe Khadi Svetty we were getting scenes that were genuine nok-jhok. But for how long can this one sided hate go on? When will that tubelight moment happen and Omkara will realize that maybe not all is right with his version of the story? Gauri's words about Omkara not knowing the entire truth..it's nice to hear that but these are really just empty words. Once the scene is over, they are forgotten. And we're again getting rinse and repeat of the same problem.
"Chali jao."
"Hum jaa rahe hain."
"Tum gayi kyun nahin?!"
"Humein rok liya gaya."
"Sab drama hai."
*tears*
And repeat.
I don't know WHO to blame. Is it the MS? Are they deliberately not giving them any actual progress because they are saving it for DBO's normal programming? Or do the writers really don't know what to do with RiKara? They don't have a love story. They don't have a tasshan story. They don't even have a proper hate story. They have NOTHING. They are just...there.
The pro-MS people accuse us of being negative about the whole thing and that we can't appreciate the whole family being together. YES! We don't appreciate it! Why should we?! Our characters, the ones we are really invested in, they are going nowhere! If we complain today toh I know what we'll get to hear, "Oh but you got such nice SS! You got such a big scene!" Arey scene ka KYA karen when it comes from nowhere and leads to nothing? We don't want scenes! We want a proper bloody track!!
Did i love the RiKara bits today? YES! Will I watch them again? Of course I will. Drunk!Gauri was a sight for sore eyes. But all of this is temporary. It's akin to dangling lollipop in front of us when all we want is a proper meal which is not being given to us. Excuses. That's all these scenes are. The last proper episode of DBO was when Svetty was ousted. And by then we were done with the permanently frownyKara. But the second this MS started, amnesia struck and we are FORCED to watch the scenes which narratively don't make any sense considering how DBO was going on! IB's story is actually moving forward with the MS. DBO's isn't. THAT'S the issue that we have with the MS. Why is it so hard for people to understand?!
