I think the timing of this track is totally off. I understand the logic of introducing it now- basically the story is pretty much over once Sairat get together so that's being delayed. But to introduce another woman when the Pakhi angle hadn't been fully resolved yet was unnecessary. What was the point of showing Pakhi craving for Virat's attention and not giving a damn about Samrat if they had to bring Shruti in? They didn't close the Pakhi loop properly and it's really unsatisfying for the audience to watch a new story with the same third wheel angle without proper closure to the first one.
Virat is a real chick magnet it seems like and for what joy Idk! He's a wet blanket for the most part and cries more than most normal people I know. 😂
The writer of the original had some logic to the order of the tracks up until Emon accepted that she loved Rono and RK's reaction to that. After that it was all superfluous anyway. Here they've mixed the tracks to stretch the inevitable. The issue is that they've now stretched it out so much that all connect with the story and main characters is lost.
This track is beyond boring to watch honestly. The behavior of both leads is unbearable and unbelievable. Virat is illogical to the point of looking like an idiot. Sai's outbursts are next level shrewish and make her look needy and not fierce which is her USP. None of it gels. I haven't watched an episode on hotstar for over 2 weeks. My membership is hatching eggs at this point.
If the logic of the track is that to have love and a strong marriage you must first have friendship and then build trust, that's superfluous. They already built trust with Sai dismissing Pakhi royally in the last track. So I don't get it at all.
Bottom line, I'm not watching Ghum these days because the story itself is Ghum.
