@AY: even with the cliched angsty past etc I was still expecting better because IB has been known to take standard soap tropes and turn them around. That's what made them different. So I guess I was expecting that even with the standard template the treatment would be different. But I was disappointed. I guess it's time to reset expectations before the disappointment becomes to much. Shivika have set the bar so high that I am struggling with dealing with cliched stuff.



LOL yeah, I suppose we invariably developed some expectations after a good Friday and Monday episode...but as always it was too good to last...and we are back to cliche central...so yes it's best to adjust expectations again that at the most we can enjoy NM-SC ki acting in some scenes cuz Harneet doesn't seem interested in adding any meat to this story or these characterizations...I just wish she'd stop claiming this is Khidkitod Anika and just admit that she's showing a bechari Anika simply to show a 180 of spunky Anika...


I dunno how Harneet seems to think this story can work without a spunky Anika but good luck to her nevertheless😆

Tomorrow things will be a little clear. If TRPs for the first week of redux are good then I guess HS will continue the current story line.
I miss OBRO moments!!! I wish they would keep some integral things from the previous story.

I think part of my problem is that despite cautioning myself I had developed expectations for Shivika's first proper meet. Especially after their first setting eyes on each other was so well done in Monday's episode. The emotion was captured so beautifully. And this same scene from today looked interesting in the precap. And today being a milestone date added to the expectation of a khidkitod first proper interaction. But in the actual episode it was a let down. And when they draw out Anika's burden of woes too much it always gets to me and not in a good way.

LOL this excerpt from Harneet's IV



So they are "man and woman" in this AU?...original waale were kid versions of Shivika? 😆..."Man" and "woman" tabhi bante hain when they have cliched "pain" waali interactions? Chalo good to know how Harneet thinks😆

Anu,
Answering your question:
No, this is not khidkitod, at least NOT YET, the smashing charecteristics is zero.
I have been trying to post positive stuffs only especially on your posts.
Haan Ji aapko pata hai kyun. If I got to chop off few lines, manne bata do...

Off late, most of the followers who have stuck around, have been winnowing only. Sifting chaff from grain and trying to be happy one scene at a time, literally from the colossal mess.

I saw SC's video where she sounded excited about what NEW things she can bring on table along with NM's effort to add nuances to SSO. The girl went on to say that "nayi chemistry develop karni padhegi as Shivika". And director LM was passing by who heard her and said she has done her best so far and she is doing good now. When you hear her, you want to give her a chance. But the problem here is that as much invested the actors seem to be towards their characters, hugely its the writing team that FAILS them, woh bhi miserably. One can think of all fancy names and float around with "never seen before on TV" tropes, but fact is they have reached saturation with Shivika or rather I dare say IB.

SC went on to say she feels blessed to be working. Very true. If show ends, it ends and everyone involved will find it difficult. But the massive truth is that the team who executes and writes a story will have to be aware of this first.

The lack of freshness in storyline stems from reaching saturation. The viewers are fully invested, the celebration today for 2yrs is indicative ( I participated too:)) If the so called selfproclaimed "out of the box thinkers" and supposed trendsetters exhibit even one third of the passion ( that viewers have), it will work wonders.

The execution now seems largely dependent on fluke.
2 good episodes, 3 bad
1 day of Shivika centric track, 2 days of mindless "mass" hamming and fizzling out.
2 days of wonderful detailing in scenes and 3 days of mix and match
2 days of awesome scenes you fall in love with and 3 days where viewers are left scratching their heads.
2 days of make-believe in creating impactful connect and 3 days of complete disconnect that brings all hopes crashing down.

Confrontation scene:
I did like Anika's reaction to the wound on Shivay's hand inspite of him being the man that caused her pain. That was a glimpse of Anika who cared for Tia's baby, hurting herself in the process inspite of what all Tia did to her. Uske alawa, nothing else worth remembering.

Overall, the "Maa pe jaane wale" dialogues doesn't make it any grand. Koi class toh maintain karen. There are so many ways to make the confrontation impactful.

Chalo, ek ne bol diya. Itni suljhi huyi, forever humanitarian Anika ne dohraya kyun. Maa sentiment is TRP trope, but using it today was out of context.
This "tit for tat" waale scenes are not appearing too good to let them initiate a connect to each other, leaving aside the janm janmantr rishta, so to say.

Physical intimidation leaves a bad taste. Yeh log dark dark bolte karte, its going to char altogether.

The throwing out of house scene: If I remember she had to pay 3 monthss rent, makes it 30000. Nahi? Toh 500 mei kahan landlady was going to agree. And emergency fund hai, yeh puri duniya(khaas kar chachi) ko batana zaroori tha??

Shivay Priyanka scene:
Maan liya , he doesn't know or just doesn't hug back. But the emphasis is on he DOES NOT KNOW to hug. The emphasis should have been he is not the one who is INSTINCTIVE in responding back to a hug or good at INITIATING one. The sister or Dadi hugs him and his hands are partially around but not wrapping them in.
Ab kya bolun, shadi kar raha hai. We know its going to be Anika so not an issue. But as of now Shivay ke according he is marrying Tia. So certain situations mei, yeh haath todhe funny and awkward nahi lagenge?.Nahi?

The stress should have been about lack of teh ability in initiating a consloling expressive warmth with closed ones. Yeh wrongly placed stress on NEVER hugging is making things worse. Also, they showed the brothers who end up kissing him on his cheeks after teh chunri song. Bachpan se aisa hai, toh I believe you don't grow up to repeat the stuff that another doesn't like.
Khair, what am saying is lay emphasis on right places not misplaced areas.

Rumors:
I hope rumor about apni Dadi being back is true.
Dusra rumor about the arrival of Daksh, I hope it isn't true. Very average actor according to me and and I never understood if the creepiness is some grand acting as claimed or otherwise

Rakha na previous se...Shivaay still maaroes SSO ke naam ki tadi, still does his hairflick, still gets called Billu...lol Anika ke liye nothing from original😆


Obros ki jagah daily Shivaay-Prinku scenes hain which are average at best😆😆


Chalo integral things ke naam pe previous Daadi waapis mil rahi hain I guess...baaki toh HS is on her own trip😆


Anyways, yep TRPs will decide how this sustains😆

Cant make sense of how HS decided on what to keep from the previous version and what not to keep. She can keep the green colour in SSO's room but she can't give Anika her spunk😡.

Even though the actors are doing a good job but Prinku Shivaay scenes aren't even 1 percent close to O-bro scenes.

Haha you've described the pattern perfectly...we've gotten our one good epi of the week on Monday...max one more good epi can come out of this week...rest crap😆


Confrontation scene:

Yeah, that was the only noteworthy bit...rest was hadh level ke cliches and hammy lines.

Overall, the "Maa pe jaane wale" dialogues doesn't make it any grand. Koi class toh maintain karen. There are so many ways to make the confrontation impactful. LOL maa pe jaana bhi tha toh better tareeke se jaate...I get that HS has built up some lame backstory around the Maa angle this time but find a better way to inject it in as a conflict than these childish, badly transitioned lines...so much for "man" and "woman" story...lol man and woman aise Maa waale taunts maarte hain so childishly? Sure, HS😆


Chalo, ek ne bol diya. Itni suljhi huyi, forever humanitarian Anika ne dohraya kyun. LOL arey Anika ne dohraya to show how "khidkitod" she is...aise apparently "khidkitodness" prove ho gayi ek Maa wala taunt maar ke...so "maturely" done in this "mature woman" version of Anika according to HS😆


Physical intimidation leaves a bad taste. Yeh log dark dark bolte karte, its going to char altogether. Physical intimidation is standard TV soap cliche I'm afraid...but yes, it was extra lame to have to watch it on Shivika like this after all this time...especially when this Anika is now typical FL backing up if he tries to intimidate her.



Shivay Priyanka scene:
Maan liya , he doesn't know or just doesn't hug back. But the emphasis is on he DOES NOT KNOW to hug. The emphasis should have been he is not the one who is INSTINCTIVE in responding back to a hug or good at INITIATING one.

Khair, what am saying is lay emphasis on right places not misplaced areas.

Exactly...they are trying to show that he struggles with expressing his emotions, love and concern but in trying to write it "differently" from the previously emotionally stunted Shivaay, this one is just coming across as half-baked and lacking in impact.

Rumors:
I hope rumor about apni Dadi being back is true. It's true...spoiler ppl confirmed it on Twitter...lol...so small mercies there.
Dusra rumor about the arrival of Daksh, I hope it isn't true. Very average actor according to me and and I never understood if the creepiness is some grand acting as claimed or otherwise This one is true as well, I'm afraid...lol...I never liked him either but I guess ppl are nostalgic for him cuz of the catalyst he was in the Shivika story...I sense a rinse/repeat of the whole mistress MU from version 1, that is why Daksh is back...so forced wedding can also be expected I suppose.

LOL no one can ever make sense of that...I bet even HS herself can't...she's busy getting "butterflies in her tummy"😆😆


Haha the green color in Shivaay's room reminds me...now this Prinku has quite a pretty blue backdrop wala room unlike previous Prinku with the PINK and RED themed room😆


Prinku-Shivaay's scenes are getting repetitive in showing the same thing daily and the fact that the actors don't have that level of connect or chemistry as bro-sis is not letting them rise above a certain tenor for the scenes.

Lovely post...!
I m still trying to understand whats new in redux.

Initially as per the challenge thrown in by Mr.awasthi I felt that has a lot of potential n that I will see real shivika from above seeing how they meet n regroup again.

But surprise surprise😆

Writers changed the concept overnight saying ' shivika wohi, kahani nai'. Chalo as a audience we will take this too coz again it has potential. But the characters are way too remorsed n dark n at the same time completely resembling to shivika.may be the tones have changed...there cud be so many more things...but this looks like a total reboot!

Why a dosa stall for Anika, nothing else suffices? Why gauri was shown so helpless...now all of thm will stay at OM...hayo rabba!

I know it's a challenge m we need to give it time but sadly there is nothing new till now. I have been hopping n skipping a few episodes...to what they build to restart again is tough but at least don't treat the borders, swim in the deep ocean n this will be so much better!

Though I loved harneet article today...hopefully they will come up to the promise of their words this redux😳
