OVERDUE ANALYSIS: Thread 2 Link, p150 - Page 18

Another interesting episode!

First of all, I had commented yesterday that I didn't like that once Dev said he agreed everyone ignored the women who had basically said Geet was besharam etc etc. But today I really appreciated Darjee's character when he actually asked for Pammi's opinion on the matter before accepting Dev's decision. It shows that for him, age also matters along with gender and he does respect women as the elders of a family.

I am loving Mohinder (Geet's dad) more and more everyday! He is such a kind man and I loved how he absolutely did not bat an eyelid in asking Geet what her opinion on getting married was. It makes me think that if only she didn't live in the kind of family where girls don't really communicate with their fathers that much, she would have found a true confidante in him. He is somehow a deeply perceptive man and senses things because he is truly looking for his daughter's happiness and not just for her to get married by hook or by crook. He has his own dreams of how he wants to get her married. This shows that she has great value in his life and he doesn't just consider her a burden. He wants to take great pleasure in her marriage and her future and so wants her to get married from home. Her getting married somewhere else would deny him that one last celebration of his only child and he does not feel comfortable. I like that he is not as ready to compromise as Darjee and the women.

I also noticed that Brij and Dolly have a connection today. This shows that no matter how different their views on women, they are not treated as mere objects. They do have respect, but only and only if they live exactly as prescribed by the men. Dolly is the first person Brij looks at when Darjee contradicts him and he trusts her to take Geet and Dev. So although it may not be one of equals, you can't deny there is an established relationship there.

I loved the scene on the terrace with Geet and Dev!! It had so much substance and symbolism. Of course most literally I loved that Geet voiced her feelings that she did not want to go to Canada. She was unafraid to just come out with it. I really liked this as Dev was getting a bit cocky and flirty with her, assuming that she was just sharmaofying but she slapped him in the face with her denial a little bit. I think Dev was being very nice to boldly ask to speak to her and get her opinion as well as noticing she was anxious but I thought his tone was very confident, almost as though denying something to the point that she would confirm it?

I also loved Geet's admission because it really emphasises that she is not at fault for what happens to her later. She did not want to get married, go to Canada or leave her family but she was forced to and the result was then proclaimed her fault, highlighting the unfairness of it all!

As for the symbolism, the thorn in the foot happened the moment Geet took a step towards Dev. I guess it foreshadowed that moving towards him would be a bad thing. Also, I have read that the foot symbolises female sexuality. So this may also show the painful loss of her virginity, especially as Dev later touches her foot when she keeps pulling it away.

And Shivi if you are out there, it appears THIS was the first instance of your favourite BG score!😲

Speaking of music, I loved the title song when it played after Pammi put the kangan on Geet. It really made my heart break into a million pieces. Daler Mehndi's voice is just so heart wrenching here. I don't think I have ever heard him sing something not upbeat so this was a surprise for me.

Dolly is so funny! She actually makes me laugh with her broken English and her kabab mein bone! 😆 And Kamya I guess was basically giving away their plot by saying kaam ho gaya when NT smoothly corrected her. 😎

All in all the show stealer was Geet's brave declaration that she does not want to go to Canada. It's pretty clear that it doesn't work, but the gesture is really meaningful.

Hello🤗

From the beginning of the show I failed to like Dev though he was presented as a nice guy n behaved in a better manner then his weird mom😕 n that brat Kamya😡 (I was so glad when she didn't come back form Canada😃) I'm not clear why didn't I like him mayb bcoz he looked fishy or I didn't like Avinav😕. Darji telling girls don't have any say but agrees with the elders decision is still exists in our society but in a different manner where your parents, relatives will directly n indirectly try to convince n pressurize u that what they r doing is the best thing that can ever happen to u (I mean to say when a girl goes through the process of an arranged marriage like Geet). Its really pathetic when a guy comes form abroad the members of a girls family go gaga over him🤢! Maybe🤔 they do it to ensure a better future for her. It was also clear when Darji agreed to let Dev-Geet meet alone on the terrace. Breaking the Hands rules n bending in front of Ladkewale. I think when Dev put bandage on Geet's foot he made an impression (mayb a second one she did seem lost in his eyes on the road!) on the poor girl but she did say what she wanted to say. Glimpse of the girl later she would become. I just adore DD's looks in the early days of GHSP so natural n makeup less. Only DD can look so beautiful without makeup😍. Her authentic nave look suited the character of innocent Geet. We all feel like hugging her in HP days🤗. To me NT looked like an over protective bhabi🤣! Her costume of full sleeve blouse n Gunghat though she was presenting herself as an ideal bahu to a small town family didn't suit her I just love her in chiffons n noodle straps😍🤣 but Karishma is a very pretty girl😳.

nice episode today..😊
.i dont understand the need to get geet married in such a hurry..😲
.it was nice to see geets parents cocern but they couldnt do much.
loved dev asking her opinion but poor girl was stopped before she could stay anything.😭
geet had to say yes poor girl was forced.
On ething i noticed is that geet throughout had a head down.😭
feel really bad for her.🤢
Dev asking to meet her alone, didnt go quite well with her orthodox family. 😊
But just as they didnt want this rishta to break said ok. 😛
OMG why are the ladkewale hell bent on getting married so soon...😕
Roka bhi kar liya and they want shadi in temple. I am smelling something fishy.😕😲
Geet getting hurt in her feet, is it an indication that something wrong might happpen😕😕😕

PS My analysis strictly based on todays epi (as i had nt seen it before) assuming i dont know what will happen in future😉😉
😕

i liked the episode! my god! dev was really hitting on geet! d way he keeps looking at her in front of other ppl n then in terrace acting very flirty!!! if we didn't know abt his evil plan, we wd have thought d new groom likes d girl n behaves romantic. but knowing the background, he really is evil, hellbent on ruining an innocent girl.

Samana loved ur analysis specially when u pointed out the foot symbolism Dev did took her virginity away😡 he could've easily spread the girl n only take her money after all money was the motive to marry a solvent small town girl. I remember in office when Dev came to know about her pregnancy he blamed NT for not telling him n her reply was u sleep wasnt a part of our plan. Too bad how they later showed NT as the villain n Dev as a Victim of her nasty plan🤢👎🏼. Also Dev always claimed he did everything for NT as he loved her too much but if he really loved his wifey that much he could never sleep with another woman😡.

Bye for now🤗

Yesterday I missed analysis, but I would like to mention that when Dev made an entry he was in dark..is this an symbolism saying that Dev past is hidden that is his marriage with NT(Now that we know what happens next) …

Ah today when he told mujhe yeh rishte manjoor hai…we coulds see every1 was happy,even Dev mother n NT too as they wanted it to happen n because of Kaamna it got ruined...But no one saw the sadness in Geet eyes which clearly mention that she does not want to get married..Aah Dev noticed it and he wanted her opinion too..(Wonder why he wanted as he wanted to dupe her after marriage😡)

Loved daughter father relationship..how he was asking geet putting his hand on her head,it shows how much he cares for his daughter. If she was given to voice her opinion she would definitely say what is in her mind... she wouldnt might saying in front of everyone,which needs lot of courage.But again she was forced to accept the family decision.

Dev is shown positive😡…he is putting good impression on Geet n her family..so no one doubts his bad intention and agrees for marriage.

In a scene when Dev was speaking to Geet about marriage liked the symbolism there..Thorn pricks Geet n she will be in Pain..this may be indicating that Dev will only give her pain I liked the other thing is when Dev puts his hands forward to help Geet to get up, she does not takes his help but gets up on herself .That is because she is still not comfortable with him or Only Maan can hold her😳.

@Zahra: I know, this is shaping up to be a very sweet love story indeed! 😳🤣

@Mila!!! So good to see you here and I loved your take as always. 😃
I feel the same way about Dev. I thought it was because I knew what he does later, but after reading your take I am reassured that I remain unbiased. His pompous, flirty attitude really irritates me. Like he is saying you don't like me, you don't like me so that Geet will say no I do! He is just too smooth and charming for my personal liking even at this early stage.

And it's so true what you say about girls families going gaga. I mean even I have seen my aunts and stuff do that when they meet a prospective sasural for my cousins. It is really disgusting the way people grovel, as though their daughters are not worth being cocky about!

@Leverne: Good observation! Geet did have her head down the whole time. I think the only time she lifted it was out of shock when Dev said he wanted to talk to her alone! And even then she lowered it when she realised what she was doing.

So this episode felt like a but of slow moving one compared to the previous 2 episodes. Dev says what happened is not relevant for him ( we do know what's relevant for you you slimeball😡)😆Asks for Geet's hand in marriage to Daarji. Daarji as usual follows the rules he imposes himself on his family and asks Dev's mom's opinion. NT in an indirect way conveys her happiness at having a rishtha with such an affluent family and Kamya the blabbermouth did blabber out what their intentions were. Nice deflection NT.

Episode was interesting...
