Episode review :08 June
Didn't sit well with me for various reasons. Even on the emotional front.
I was upset yesterday when P slapped Sai. V didn't react. Fine ... Pehla wala shocking tha... But these two weren't... He could have stopped her then and there... But alas... The guilt overpowers... And it's Ashwini and not V who stops the slaps. Phir bhi ek chij thik hai that he was sitting with Sai.
Wah makers!!!! Why so much leeway for Pakhi???
I wish they hadn't shown all those rituals in detail... Didn't give a good feeling. 👎🏼
P stopping Sai for the cremation is fine. Also the woman of the house shouldn't have gone too.. certainly not the religious and superstitious ones like BK. All of them could have stayed home. V finally speaks a few lines for Sai but that last look is full of guilt. As if 'bear all of this for me'. High expectations indeed when he had in the past left her alone. She still will be. I don't see him standing up much. Not yet atleast. Until something eye opening happens.
Sai ka hurt is understandable. I didn't find the dialogue wrong in a sense that she didn't do any mistake deliberately. It was circumstantial that she was in the centre of it all. Acting wise the outburst could have been better.
Verdict:
Sad episode but not well done.
I hope to see something else in future and especially from CN people.
Pakhi has always been vile and venomous towards Sai and since it is well known to all... No one stopped her from vomiting her poison towards Sai. Also, she is projecting her pain and hurt.
But all of them know that the relationship has just started. P herself says to Sam's dead body.. abhi to hamari dosti shuru hui hai... Is do din ki dosti ke liye itna drama doesn't match up. Neither is blaming it all on Sai. P held V's collar and asked him Sai's fault. She could have very well asked him why he didn't reach her. Ofcourse no one knows and ab kabhi pata bhi nahi chalega that Sai called V first.
However much they whitewash her... I can never have sympathy for Pakhi... Ever.... She very selfishly kept Sam away from her, humiliated him, berated him and never really treated him as a human being. Had no empathy for him and his feelings and so suddenly being all worried and soft for him isnt agreeable. She brought this upon herself ... Even wished for his death countless times.
Even in the last moments... All she remembers is the last hug and not even her wedding... That's the clue... That's her only attachment to him... She lost a friend and not a husband. Never treated him as one. Sadly she is too immature to realise that and has an easy target in Sai.
I do hope when things cool down someone atleast voices this... I have hopes on Karishma. She seemed genuinely disturbed by Sams death but she was the one standing with Sai and she is also the one who very well knows P's intentions. Even had a smirk when P was all Gaga about having SR with Sam.
Another person who could stand with Sai is BK... For whatever her earlier objections... Sai is now giving her something she wants... An heir... She may not retort to P but she has to make sure Sai is protected. I do hope that even for her patriarchal and opportunistic attitude, BK genuinely warms up to Sai. Anyway having an heir from her fav bahu is not possible now.. so BK has to look out for Sai.
Even Mansi will not blame Sai for long even though it looks like that in precap. That's an immediate reaction and not long-term. And totally logical from a mother who has lost her son. MB has so far been quite a sensible person and mostly impartial. I agree that the situation is diff here but still... She may soften in long term.. just like she does when Sai mentions the vaada.
Have no hopes from Tanvi wali Shivani...she hasn't been able to capture the essence Yamini did. Neither Vihaan wala Mohit... So even if they support Sai.. it would look like token.
Suicide attempt looks probable and when V saves her...( I hope no CPR 🤢).... P will flip... she might realise that she cannot get V (he cannot love her) but she can deny Sai that happiness by separating SaiRat... that looks like her potential game plan... Fake pregnancy might be on the way.
Which also sits with BK sitting with Sai and the national geographic promo.
Expected better writing looking at previous two episodes. But was filler with sad songs.
P.S... P cribs about Sai being an apshagun conveniently forgetting that she was the one who entered Cn with the wrong foot... Irony galore
