Once again, I'll pluck bits and pieces from The episodes during the week and collaborate them with today's episode.
Before I continue, a note to Sony - thanks for the timing stuff up. It wasn't even a maha-episode. Literally waste of the time slot.
Moving on.
We had a subtle decrease in Sanchi and Aryan's scenes during the week. Being honest, I did miss the two on my screen but it was purely because they are cute and I needed to see their cuteness. But at the same time, the show created a very well-balanced week with the other characters and I was kind of left pleasantly surprised. My expectations in terms of scenes of external characters is pretty low in general when it comes to Indian television because of the way storymakers miscarriage the core of these beautiful characters. Unnecessary conflicts are created within family members and for no reason whatsoever, we see the trust between family just magically disappear in a span of mere days. Yet somehow, as we continue to progress into the story of this show, their way of handling characters and minor misunderstandings, seems to get better. It's almost like they write a scene with a certain purpose and within two episodes, they close the matter and leave the audience with a great learned lesson.
You look at today's episode, and I think quite conveniently we can say that the crux of the episode was that there is no one older or younger when it comes to gratitude or apologies. Usually in shows, you see the "older" members cloak their minds with a rigid layer of ego and so relationships fall apart for no reasons at all. However, this show promotes unity. Friendship. Relations of the heart and ofc partnership. They teach us how to trust on your close ones and then how to safeguard that trust as well as how to keep all those who you love, close to yourself. I've always admired Mittal's for the idea that everything in their family is out and open. Viren has been posed as a great connect to this show because of how he makes us a part of his family, when he discusses and communicates with them so openly. And perhaps today I felt a very similar sense of feeling for the Sethia's.
The way Diwakar snapped - it's pretty understandable for someone who is going through a major financial crisis. Yet the way the two brothers walked down their memory lane together was such a heartfelt scene. It truly fills your heart with so much joy when you see brothers being able to forgive each other so promptly without any sort of ego or arrogance. And perhaps what I loved even more about the scene is how indirectly, loads of similarities were highlighted, which exist between the brotherhood of Diwakar and Prabhat and Aryan and Sushant. It's a sign of a strong family where you can notice how the values, love, respect and honest core of the family has travelled through time and met with the new generation. As viewers, you want to invest your trust in families and characters like such because you know it speaks togetherness and humbleness.
To some extent I'm glad that they focused on some of Nirmila's insecurities too. For now, she does seem to be the weaker link of the Sethia family and it'd be interesting to see if with time we will see her evolve into a stronger personality or if her insecurities will increase. It also adds the little flawed factor to the family and provides a more realistic shade of our society because no family can be perfect at the end of the day. There will be always room for disagreements, and misunderstandings. But the true perfection of a family is when all members learn from each other, from their own mistakes and learn how to take the best and most apt decision for the family as a whole. Again, the makers continued with the same theme for Nirmila's outburst too. That it's not about who is younger and/or who is older. It's all about apologising, forgetting the bitter memories and moving on with the whole family by your side. Also may I add, the way the misunderstanding was concluded with the whole family trying to win her over, was so hearty.
I think the last thing I want to talk about briefly is the portrayal of this older generation on this show. There was a scene I absolutely adored this week and that was yesterday when Diwakar and Sarita share some moments to themselves. It was the way they open their hearts out to each other, the way they regard and admire qualities about one another which really stood out. A couple, which has come past most of the ups and downs in life, still holds so much affection for each other and their relationship, is something which is so rare on television these days. Nowadays, every second show portrays relationships being taken for granted or extra marital affairs. Yet the simplicity of not only Diwakar and Sarita's relationship but also of Viren and Kusum makes the show so much more enjoyable to watch. Perhaps because you can connect to these couples just as much as we connect to Aryan and Sanchi. Their love definitely belonged to a different age, yet with new age it has only deepened.
P.S. a big shout out to the scene of Aryan and Sanchi calling their families as "hamari families". Adorable to all extents.
P.S.S. Priyanka is a sweetheart.
