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.



Exactly echo! Had they interspersed it with other newer scenes it would have been much much better. It felt like seeing an autobiography :)

Or even if they had intercut the flashbacks with the father and son looking out or thinking and spread it out a bit more it would have looked better. The montage technique didn't work well at all.

The father son for 15 minutes. .. Nahiii

Seriously. .. There IS something very irritating and monotonous about Ramnath. Never enjoy his scenes. .. definitely not with shravan. Maybe because he comes out as the male version of Jagath matha or a vamp. Can't figure it out.

Poppins you might be right after all. Sumo cannot love him with the way his mind and heart constantly wavers between women are right or women are wrong. And this will play out with the first two promos as well.. pyaar vs samman. And the wuestion is why should Shravan Malhotra's character undergo a change only because his mother had no extra- marital affair. At the end, his parents marriage had crumbled and so also, his mother left him.
If his views should change it should because of Sumo's love and not his mother enacting this transformation. Sumo left him once which was connected ever so subtly with that of his mother's rejection. SO, his transformation cannot be dependent on the mother.. .it has to be Sumo as well. If SUmo leaves him.. for whatever reason (before or after marriage, I shall wait for few episodes), then only can the story begin with Shravan's character understanding love in all its forms. Sumo's maturity also needs to be foregrounded.
So, this story of the mother even if it started on a false note, is all about our madcap couple.

Hahaha, I know even if people might not like it, it just would have made the execution come out better and more smooth na. It would've been better than the montage we got today xD For the first time I didnt like the episode at all thanks to that scene.

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 ...



Hi Red,
You always bring such a different perspective and insights to the episode. Much appreciated.. Could you please add me to the PM list. I almost missed this one. Don't wanna miss on it Thanks :)

Indra... Only the relationship of a mother and child is mostly unconditional. Ever other relationship is conditional. Sumo wants to marry shravan thinking that she had her old fried back. But this is her first clue as to how much he had changed and for the worse.

I don't think sumo or anyone else could change shravan. His change needs to happen within through his need to change. The motivation will come when Sumo reveals to him that she loved him as the old shravan and was upset that he did not care that she was moving on. But now she cannot look past friendship with this guy that she has seen today.

Cause If you noticed. .. Sumo knocked and entered shravans room today. She has already set boundaries fir their relationship. Lets see how the big reveal will hit shravan. Sumo sarong that she loved the young shravan and friendzoning this desirable one is going to rankle him. And cvs love newness. What can be more new than an early confession?

You're right! Shravan can only fully change when he truly wants to from within and that will happen with time! And I love what you said about her saying that she loved the young Shravan and friendzoning this desirable new one. It's an interesting angle which I never thought of! However I dont think she even needs to or will confess anymore, she has her self respect for which she won't go after him anymore. But friendzoning from her side may very well happen.

i think CVS built the character of Sharavan so well till now that today was a major let down. not just shravan even the way sumo is acting since past few epis - the guy has clearly told u he has moved on for 3 weeks, f**ing move on now and stop being his doormat (not completely but at times). oh he loves oh loves me needs to stop
as for shravan this aspect of his personality was bound to come out but didnt expect it to be so melodramatic - he is so brainwashed by his dad. it is annoying to watch. but hopefully they show his transition well enough. right now - not really enjoying it - its the usual MCP track but with a back story atleast
