Agreed. But which part of it did we not already know and experience?

@Party, witness to Shravan's hatred of Sumo
@Ramnath death news... Shravan's blind love of his dad
@Mom leaving flashback seen earlier clearly shows mom left and there were quarrels between his parents and Sumo was his punching bag.
@Chachiji's talks... Ramnath was not well to do and Lalaji helped
@Ramnath an MCP was shown when he tells Nanu that women should not work
@Shravan an MCP... party and so many other episodes and his behavior with PP.,

The one thing that came out new was Ramnath thinking that his wife was two timing him.

They could have shown the flash back silently, fast and with back ground music. I found todays epi to be a super damp squid. Especially all the flashbacks and ramnath himself. Sometimes a charecter that seems to be going no where in itself is a big irritation. This is Ramnath.

Sorry about the strong opinion. But today was an epi that seriously put me off for the first time with EDKV.




Okay seriously i am SICK .. its gone 2 am in my land & i am discussing a 22min fiction show .. UGH

What is the one thing that came out from this episode that which we dint know .. is very simple ...
its in the FB ...

i wrote above ... why was sumo shravan FB added to that of shravan's mom FB ...

Its .. cause the reason of his strong feeling of betrayal from his mom ..

Now think about it ..let reconstruct the past ...

He learns from his father that his mom has left them & gone ( i thot the adultery notion was a given & kind of always implied) ...
He runs to SUMO ... there he tells her ... my mother has gone somewhere & we are unable to find her ...
then the next day the father son duo go looking for his mom in her office & see her being consoled by her boss ...
Next thing .. he leaves for LONDON

now give it a thot ... connect all this ... why SUMO is in the mix ...why was the prom party so imp .. where Sumo ditches him to go with SOMEONE ELSE

Shravan was not willing to go to London if sumo accepted his love ...

So its Sumo's rejection of him . which makes him go .. he believes his fathers heart is broken .. & his mother no longer loves his father .. coz he was a thwarted lover ...

now see the scene when sumo calls him about her marriage .. there is a very long pregnant pause .. then he erupts .. his face falls when she says she is getting married ...

The emotions he has for SUMO is all there ... but it buried under a mountain of his past ... for him to come out & once again declare his love .. he needs to be clear of his past ...
He needs to believe ..


This story is about SUMAN TIWARI ... she will be in the middle of every thing ...
This story is also a love story .. hence all the characters & tracks will revolve round the main protagonists ..


UGH rest for tomorrow literally falling asleep on the laptop ...

Sedan a decade bk... 😆😉

😃😆

a long car is called a sedan ... a decade back we had Toyota Corolla .. Toyota Camry... Skoda Octavia .. Maruti baleno .. Ford Mondeo ... Ford Ikon .. Hyundai Accent .. Hyundai Sonata .. etc etc etc .. Ambassador as well ...

the mistake / error in the scene was the house .. when shravan enters with his winners cup .. thats the glitch ... coz they showed the same entry way as the current house . where as the rest of the FB they emphasised on a smaller house ...😳



@Red... My daughter was on my lap when I was keying that one... That means Lalaji is pretty rich.

Yes all those sedans were there... but not many people were owning it. Definitely not middleclass folks. We are talking about 2005... is that not the period when economic boom really started?


Lol ... economic boom was at it peak in 2005 .. 2007 is when the downturn started ,.. like i told no excuse .. will answer this one some other day ...

see these a glitches .. aint really imp ...

going by the theory that Ramnath hit the jackpot .. & then his wife left him ..

well shravan straight away needs to question his father first .. coz a woman who sticks by u when u r poor .. supports u ( as shown in FB) when u r poor ... but leaves u when the going gets good .. kinda weird ..
it sort of questions the belief of shravan . he believes woman r opportunists . well his mom kinda wasted a lot of opportunities ...

Well I agree with you partially that it was bit dragging but I guess they wanted to show how Shravan has turned this much bitter.. so much that he started kind of having not so good opinion on women.
I think they focused only on Shravan's situation n how terribly he was hurt n of course shocked to see his family break. So in that chakkar episode turned out bit boring but in my opinion, the whole flashback was very much necessary for the future tracks on shraman. Also nirmala's story is yet to be told so they have set the stage.

Seems like its heading towards Shravan and Sumo's marriage track


That's how you felt? I thought after shravan saying he will get married only for family, dad will not force this on him. Let's see.
I am making too many posts. Sorry poppins. But, I am happy with the way things are going. So, I am just trying to understand frustration. Sorry again.

Found the mother as much of a damp squib.. poor actress

Agree completely... it seemed to be stuck, would have been better if they would have played out those scenes silently with a background music...

Thank you, Red... Missed out today on this. Because of my ranting

Shravan was not willing to go to London if sumo accepted his love ...

So its Sumo's rejection of him . which makes him go .. he believes his fathers heart is broken .. & his mother no longer loves his father .. coz he was a thwarted lover ...
Exactly, more than the mother being absolved from her whatever she was supposed to have meted out to her son.. the fact is she did leave him. And see, Sumo the other night when he had collapsed on account of father's false alarm, see the way she supported him. She is also, mind you a working woman

now see the scene when sumo calls him about her marriage .. there is a very long pregnant pause .. then he erupts .. his face falls when she says she is getting married ...

The emotions he has for SUMO is all there ... but it buried under a mountain of his past ... for him to come out & once again declare his love .. he needs to be clear of his past ...
He needs to believe ..
Question is when shall he believe and why...


This story is about SUMAN TIWARI ... she will be in the middle of every thing ...
This story is also a love story .. hence all the characters & tracks will revolve round the main protagonists ..
Sumo of course, is the centre of it all as Namik rightly pointed it out... but, the title also is ek duje ke vaaste so somewhere along.. Shravan Malhotra has to become the centre of existence for Sumo as well


UGH rest for tomorrow literally falling asleep on the laptop ...
Thank you Red, as usual a great post👏

Isn't it really awesome that the EDKV team manages to bring out such a varying amount of responses they manage to bring out emotions indifferent ways contrary to the crap that freezes our brain on telly land Cribbing or appreciation from each of us about a mere 21 min show is a Job well done. Cheers to all the wonderful writers here who explain stuff so well specially @red

I actually felt the complete opposite. I found it a little fast when the flashbacks were playing. For some reason the execution didn't click with me today. It just felt choppy, like all the flashbacks were just forcefully thrown in there. It could have been directed better. I personally had wished that they showed us in bits why Shravan is the way he is rather than throwing all the flashbacks back to back, like that scene itself just didn't work for me. From the beginning the way they showed Shravan Sumo's flashbacks in bits, that was good. Idk what happened today?
Other than that, storywise I think it was fine. It's moving at the right pace. What more do people want? Like they just jump straight to omg I love you Sumo, I love you Shravan? Finally this track will open up some more dynamic in the show.

That is what I have been saying Ghanna, the story, the plotline and screenplay is as good as ever. Its the xecution which made me feel disconnected. It was choppy, as you... there were lots of jerky moments. And Shravan's pain did not come out quite well.. because of instead using silence.. there were using lots of noise... pace could have been slow today

I have no complaints on the direction this story is going. My complaint is character development and a tight script How much has shra and ramnath changed in the past 50 episodes.? When we see that there is a change in shra he is dragged back to being his old self. Here he was taking about Ehsas abs then suddenly hates sumo because she is woman. Why hate all women cause of a few?

Can understand the storm in shravans mind. I think we all do since the party episode. But why is this repeated for 15 minutes in a 23 minute episode. Beats me. I have never felt this bored with any other character as much as I am with ramnath... And as somebody else mentioned Nirmala was not working out good either.

My question now is why should sumo love him? I have a bad feeling about this track. Can't see sumo falling in love with this shravan.

Yeah exactly! I don't know what was the need to squish all those flashbacks in one scene? If it was spread out it would have come across better. Like we just didn't get enough time to take in everything and hence the disconnection. I have been feeling that quite a lot lately with certain episodes, where transitions between some scenes are just too choppy. But the story is good. I think cvs just need to work on the scenes themselves and making them flow more than anything else.
