OVERDUE ANALYSIS: Thread 2 Link, p150 - Page 27

Truly Urs U can write for 7th episode also.

The show starts with Dev and Geet on the bridge. Dev says the first time we met here and last time also we are meeting here only. Geet is about to say something when Brij comes there. He shouts at Geet to go home and starts hitting Dev very badly in anger. Geet who is standing behind the tree is traumatized. She cries but feels helpless.

Geet then goes home..Darji loudly shouts her name. She goes in front of Darji and brings her hand forward so that he can hit her. All the family members look on. As Darji was about to hit Geet Dev comes and keeps his hand over Geet's. He says sorry for what happened and takes the blame that it was he who called Geet and its not Geet's fault. But Brij and Darji dont agree. Brij is about to hit Dev with the talwar.

At that time a few police officers come and inquire about Channi's death. They just handle it somehow saying that Channi's mother is gone mad and is lying. The police ask Dev how did he get hurt as he had some bruises on his face. Dev answers that he fell down. The police then goes. Dev with folded hands apologizes again and says that their family respect matters to him too as he also cares about their family. He says that hes feeling very bad that he is leaving something else and going..Something is not right. As he was leaving , Darji is touched by his behaviour and asks Dev if he is ready to marry Geet within 3 days.

Next scene is Geet with her sis and bro. They tease her regarding her marriage and Dev. They go to get ready for the roka ceremony. Dev and Geet's roka is performed with traditional punjabi music in BG. Jewels is given to Dev's family and all hugs are going on. Geet is looking very sad and scared. Dev's bhabhi and mom smile and give each other cunning looks.

Pre-cap - Dev and Geet are talking at the fields with her younger bro and sis. Brij comes and shouts at them to go inside. The kids run away. Brij hold Geet's hand and is about to take her , when Dev catches his hand and stops him. 😛 I found that so cute and manly!! 😉

Thanks to Mansi for the update.

Paroo It's ok. Actually I was expecting sam but U go on with Ur take. I will do mine after a few min

I hv updated the title of the thread in Samana's absense 😳

Sorry. Looks like I double posted the WU.

Hey all! So sorry about being late but I am so glad you all just went ahead! 👏

Thanks Richa for posting the episode and the WU and thanks Jyo for changing the title so that it was easier for people to find. 🤗

Here is my take:

How did this not get TRPs??? I just don't get it! It's brilliance!

I loved the expression on Geet's face when Brij was beating Dev up. I think for the first time she felt disgust at any part of her family and bitterness towards his actions. Dev hugging the dupatta only made her feel worse because she could see his "pure" intentions and Brij's unjustified violent reactions. From here itself, there is something so absolute about Geet's sense of right and wrong. She does not condone Dev's idea to meet her alone, and try to give her gifts after they have broken the rishta, but she also doesn't support Brij's treatment. That instinct for right and wrong is already there, and she is not on one or the other person's side but on the side of right. However, this is suppressed until later when right and wrong becomes a matter of life and death.

Geet's expression when she extended her hand to get hit was so calm and resigned. I think she almost wanted the punishment, because even though she did it unknowingly she knows she has broken Darji's trust. Darjee seems especially angry that she could do such a thing after he had explained their motives behind refusing the match. It shows that on some level he expects Geet to think and act for herself, only within the confines of his system, which ironically she does, but unfortunately, he doesn't get to see the side of the story that would make him proud.

And can I just say, the difference between Dev and Maan! Dev helps the family cover up Brij's crime, while Maan helps Geet expose him. It really shows how Dev is trying to win the family with his smooth ways while Maan, though harsh, only tries to do the right thing and expects nothing less of others. Even though I am trying to watch with an unbiased eye, Dev's speech made me gag! It was so sugary sweet that you could sense something, not wrong exactly, but too corny about this guy. He seemed in this episode to be a pushover who would be ruled by the women in his family. However, in retrospect I guess he was carrying out the plan to perfection in slowly getting Geet's family to agree for a shotgun wedding, and not just to agree but to make it their own idea! He really convinces Darjee that he could get no better partner for Geet and I have to applaud his manipulative skills here!

Aha! I guess the characterisations are really sound here because anything I read into in one episode is further developed in the next! In the last episode I said Geet wasn't really a romantic and didn't think much of love-shove. This was reinforced in her rooftop conversation with Rajji where she wonders where Channi has gone. Channi is Geet's only example of love and it is clear that she doesn't approve of the idea. At this point all her ideas, morals and values still revolve around Darjee's little universe. This basis for her life will be brutally yanked out from under her later, when she discovers that Brij can indeed commit a murder and that too her own, for no fault of hers. But at this point her faith in her family remains unshaken. I also like how clear she is about her stance from the beginning, she likes Dev but still does not want to go to Canada.

Darjee's line about them how holding the izzat of his house was so significant because we all know what is going to happen with that izzat.

NT gave her first vamp look! 😲

dramatic episode indeed!

Episode 7 is drama created by Dev & family to increase the pressure on handa family to get geet married with dev with in four days so that everything happens without much delay. If dev was really going why again he shd call her to that bridge do that duppata wala nautaki to impress geet,He want the handa family to seriously consider the marriage with in four days.
Today episode starts with dev meeting geet on the bridge with a red dupatta. before saying anything geet's brother brij bumps there and orders geet to go away and beat up dev. brij informs the incident in the house. DArje becomes furious and calls geet to punish with stick again Dev comes and put his hand before geet gets hit withthe stick and blames himself for what all happened. He asks for apology , again Brij becomes aggressive ,everybody in the house try to stop him. Meanwhile police steps in and ask for brij blaming him for murdering channi according to the complaint given by channi's mother. But darjee refuses it and ask the inpector to bring witness for that, While leaving inspector asks dev what happened to him? Dev takes advantage of the situation and say he has slipped while walking to impress handa family he says atleast for few days he was related to them and takes blessings from darjee and leaves. While leaving darjee tells him that still they are on their deccission not to wait for them till one year but If he is ready to marry geet within three days they have no objection. Actually according to dev everything was going according to his plan. He not only try to win trust of geet but also Handa family all together by asking them to forgive him for calling geet to meet him.
Again There is a roka function where everybody is happy and geets family is gifting the would be in laws & dev wid gifts and jewellary and dev's family is shamelessly accepting it. Pummi & NT having those cunning looks to each other wanted to say as if mission accomplished.
Here darjee was elder person in the house,he ordered geet gave away the kangan, now he ordered she got ready for roka. Why he didn't even enquire once about dev family before doing roka. He didn't think about Geet, he only thought about his prestige & respect.Geet became scape goat between all this. Shameless NT degrading Babhi devar rista . Urghhh..😡

Btw I liked Dolly [Geet's Bhabhi] She is a completely contrast character of Brij. Today Her expressions were fab. I enjoyed when she paints her nails and Geet's tayiji calls and bashes her saying the boy's family is not coming to see her nails then she takes that so lightly that she don't care and walk away.😆
I forgot to mention when geet was standing on the terrace rajji & titoo tease her and suddenly the issue of love comes where geet stops rajjo and says not to talk about it but that scene was to show how much geet believed her brother. She says to rajoo that brij is strict and want girls to be traditional & well cultured and to be in their limits but for that he cannot kill any body.
