Is it just me, or was the episode rushed?

Please refrain from bashing/provoking. Thank you.

I am kind of speechless.

The episode was rushed. The events were rushed. I'd barely digested the fact that Raghav had showed up for his brother's barsi. Next thing, he's kicked out, Krish says his first word, Komal convinces Raghav to come back home, and he returns.

Four years of separation from his family, and it was all solved in a 20 minute episode? I just found that irrational. They should've at least stretched the events and character progression over two episodes, minimum. They should've ended tonight's episode with Krish saying his first word, had tomorrow's episode focus on Komal convincing Raghav to return, and shown Raghav's thought process/consideration of what she'd said.

Are the CVs eager to move on, or are they afraid of focusing too much on Raghav and thus upset other viewers? Viraj's past and thought processes has always been given time which was needed to understand his character. I wish that they'd done the same with Raghav, so that one could feel his scenes being played out rather than cut in the middle -- when he was struggling with Krish, Komal cut in too fast, and then when he was talking to Komal, the doctor cut in too fast.

It all happened in a rush.

If it hadn't been for HC's convincing performance, I wouldn't have gotten into the episode at all.

I haven't seen the episode yet and I only started watching since Harshad joined the cast. I wish they had not let Viraj know that Jhanvi is alive so soon. They should have focused on Raghav-Sia on one end and Viraj's coping with Jhanvi's death on another. That way, they could have delved more into Raghav's character and shown us and Sia what drives him and how he became who is he.

I'm not enjoying the way they are showing Raghav's character either. In the beginning, he was constantly fighting for people's rights and how could he have been so strong to take on five policemen. It was unrealistic for me, but HC being the awesome actor he is, I'm still watching it. But I am expecting the channel to disappoint me like they did with Amrit Manthan so I try not to get too involved. I guess this post ended up being a bit of a rant...

Ana the episode was rushed. But I think I know why. See they released this promo showing a mansion and Raghav and Sia on one side and Viraj on the other. That meant that Raghav had to be back home fast. And they only had 2 days to do it. So the most logical way for them to do it was to have him come home for some big reason. That big reason was Krish. If Krish hadn't spoken, then Raghav would still be in his garage today. But because Krish said his first word, and that too, Chachu, all of a sudden it was very much needed that Raghav be at home with Krish where he could help Krish get better. Given that the most obvious person who would bring Raghav home would have to be Komal. It's a classic case of family division. Komal wants nothing more than her family to be together, but she's stuck in the middle of this division. So she does what she can and tells Raghav to come home for Krish. I'm a bit off topic, but basically all I'm saying is that yeah it was rushed, and there were some reasons that the CVs had to rush it.

Haan, but they should've at least given his character two episodes to process everything na, Sri. Anyways, HC managed to sell it. He was brilliant.

Rant away, hun. We all need it sometimes. You're right. They've rushed a lot of things and dragged other unnecessary things. Sigh. I hate getting attached to a show But despite the rushed events, the episode was awesome.

I also felt that it was rushed. So much happened. 4 years past was revealed in half an hour episode. But as usual with great performance of Hc we felt the pain of him. You are right if it would be someone else then you would not be probably connected with it. But being HC fan i knew that he would not let down at all.

Ana we are used to this kind of rushing.

In his last show, the main reason why HC character became like the way he was CVs showed everything in not 20 minutes but in two minutes. But in those two minutes he performed it so well and we all felt his pain, his sorrow.

No matter what type of scene he has given he put soul into it and then it comes out so good.

I too felt the episode was too rushed...its becoming a trademark for the CVs to build up an awesome character and right when it reaches its peak, they rush through it so fast that either the viewers end up lost with the situation itself or with the delicateness of the situation as was the case today.

They did the same with Viraj. I've found him an intriguing character from an analytical point of view...the first month of the show no one knew the driving force behind his action - what his supposedly dark past is. He would allude it to it from time to time, pain visible in his eyes whenever his past was brought up or whenever Janvi made it clear that his aim to change her was hurting her. But then they brought in Geeta and in one episode, they went on and on about some factory fire, unclear whether he caused it and then Dr. K claiming he has OCPD but not defining what part of his behaviour is characterized by it. In short, they introduced an amazingly intriguing character and rushed through it for some reason.

They did the same for Raghav. What was the point in him hearing an earful from his mother and then packing his bag and moving back in within a time span of 20 minutes? Could an issue, that too between a parent and a child, that has clearly not been resolved in the least bit in 4 years miraculously work out so fast after a series of interrupted conversations? Assuming from his mother's reaction, what Raghav did was something huge - something he himself cannot forgive himself for, then how can he be so swift in returning? Yes, I know, Krish spoke and that too calling out for Raghav, but even after this scene, everything was so rushed that it almost seemed like no big deal that a traumatized child who hasn't uttered a single word in 4 years just called out Chachu. They didn't even let Raghav get enough screen time to show how touched he was, although the expression in his face would break anyone's heart within seconds 👏😭

And since we're talking about rushing, they all of a sudden seem to be rushing through RaghaVi as well - I don't like Sia's interference in their personal family matters considering that she has been in the house for little over a day. Sympathizing with Raghav is one thing and understandable because he has helped her so much but her standing in the middle of that conversation between Komal, Raghav and the mom seemed awkward to me - she isn't a part of their family. This is of course strictly my opinion.

Word, Rova. You elaborated on the things that I'm too wiped out to elaborate on 🤢 Thank you 🤗 You know, I thought it was only me who find his scenes cut in the middle as if we weren't allowed the time to get into them before they were over. And Sia being in the middle of the convo between him and his mother -- yes, very awkward.

Wish R and his mom's scene and R and Krish's Chachu moment could've been given enough time to play out... no interruptions.

And R's return shouldn't even have taken place in this episode... 😕
