Blind Prejudice and Helpless Attraction - Page 2

Was precap molestation? 😕 Its a different house. Not OM. Anika went there. I guess to pick up dress from prinku's friends house. Daksh wahan kaise aaya? Why will he attack her there? I think its something else.

I feel Nikhil was an unnecessary complication. And seeing that he was only in one episode and wasn't shown after that makes me think HS has forgotten about him.

The molestation scene was rushed too soon. I don't know whether it was decided that way or HS got scared seeing the ratings. They should have slowly moved into that angle.

Forced marriage seems like such a surety so it might just be that Tia is shown as sensible girl this time and like Lavanya from IPK, she breaks it off seeing that she and Shivaay aren't meant to be together.

LOL yes, the conflict is weak...that was established in the Wed epi and the hospital scene only...my point is that it's weak cuz it's fully based on him being determined to be prejudiced against her, think the worst cuz of a very powerful attraction he's feeling towards her...this is pushback.

Agree about Prinku...she's just ok to me...there is nothing really there to be attached to...she's a plot device that moves the story forward since Anika is a relatively more passive character this time.

LOL in their eyes toh they feel they've done something difference by flipping characters to 180...spunky Anika has been made more subdued and soft Anika...lol anti NKK Daadi is now pro NKK daadi...so just stuff like that is supposed to make this different 😆

About precap, yaar kahin kadam rakhte hi koi molest karne tak kaise pahunch jaata hai. I really don't appreciate the kind of "acting" he brings to the table. Oh boy!!!

ND portrayed Veer's obsession with Anika especially that scene where he sits next to an unconscious Anika. I'd label that as classy creepiness any given day. I don't want to say anything more than this.

With Daksh introduced into the story as Prinku's finance, it seems like the story might be a little similar to IPKKND. Daksh will go after Anika and Shivaay will misunderstand Anika and see her as a gold digger going after a rich man and in order to save his sister's marriage, he'll marry Anika just like Arnav married Khushi to keep her away from Shyam.

After the dismal ratings this week, I am hoping there will be some changes in Anika's characterisation. I want Anika to give it back to Shivaay like the previous Anika did.

While I agree with you about the IPK vibe to this I still don't see why that would make Shivaay marry Anika. Here Prinku is not married to Daksh. Why would Shivaay let his sister marry a man whose fidelity was suspect even before marriage? In IPK Anjali was married and pregnant and emotionally very fragile. Even then it didn't make sense. This would make even less sense. Of course he would still label Anika a gold digger and accuse and blame her by there would be no reason to marry her

Watching right now.

Be back in a bit

Edited:

With this Redux I find myself swinging between curiosity and annoyance depending on the day's episode with occasional moments of awe like the last Friday and Monday episodes. Today was more curiosity and less annoyance. I am curious about how they are going to progress this further.

I am not surprised at all the things Shivaay is hurling at Anika because his helpless attraction is really strong and instantaneous this time and therefore he is also going to fight it harder given his character sketch. The accusations are therefore getting more ridiculous and the prejudice is more irrational and more vehement because the helpless pull is like a burr under his skin. Of course the way they are going about staring and being lost in each other's eyes everyone is going to notice this pretty soon. I like the way NM-SC are doing these silent eye locks and the shifts in their expressions. Whenever he first sets eyes on her in the scene there is a very obvious look of how he is helplessly drawn to her and lost in that attraction and then there is a subtle silent shift in his eyes where he still can't look away but slowly hardens himself into fighting that pull. Exactly

Anika crying reminded me too of the same scene where she is sitting and crying alone after overhearing Shivaay talking to OmRu about Anika.
She was sitting in the same spot. That conversation ringing in her years was also what pushed her into accepting Daksh's proposal. Haha and this time she's crying even before Daksh arrived...so hua na different😛...I suppose this time Daksh will give her some kind of indecent proposal again too...just not of shaadi.

Daksh is an established creep from his opening scene from the looks of it. So it didn't take even one episode for him to get to that. I am sure thats going to lead more vile stuff coming our way by way of not only his actions but Shivaay's accusations. Not looking forward to that. Although much of the fandom seem to love Daksh for some obscure reason I always found him too creepy for my liking. I am hoping he isn't there for too long, just long enough to be a catalyst for Shivika.

LOL yes it seems that part of the fandom which randomly kept crying for Daksh to be back got their wish...I was deffo not part of that group...never liked this character or this actor much...let's see how long he stays given how his track already seems to be turbo charged with instant molestation attempt and Anika even finding out who he is soon enough

This time there seem to be no Shivika shippers in OM unlike last time. Dadi is worried about history repeating itself with her Billu's shaadi given his father's history and OmRu are distant. So I am really curious about how the Shivika story is going to move forward. I am hoping that they have a thought out story to tell and aren't just winging it one scene at a time. Some days I wonder. Like I mentioned before I am having mood swings with the Redux on a daily basis.

LOL right now it seems to be a mix of a half baked skeleton of a storyline and winging it daily based on how good/bad the fan backlash is😆

Characters like chachi I just don't like and I am wondering what her role and purpose is in the story besides taunting Anika.

So far other than the half baked hospital scene Shivika have had no conversation. I am wondering how long they plan to go on with that.

I am curious enough to continue watching as long as they cut down the dukhiyari Anika melodrama like the kind they had yesterday which I fortunately haven't watched. That puts me off. If they tone that down then even with other things still being iffish I am far too invested in Shivika to give up. Haha lucky you that you haven't watched that...humse puchho jo roz dekh rahe hain aur unehin aaj ke relative toning down of forced melodrama ki appreciation hai😆

I don't want them to take the cliched route. So far even in seemingly cliched situations IB has always been different and I am hoping (despite the foolishness of such hopes) that that pattern continues.

Going by the pattern so far Monday should be a good episode? Fingers crossed. Haha yep, watch on Monday and then skip to Friday...unless you want to enjoy the great "D" ke shenanigans over the course of the week of which I presume there will be plenty 😆

I got interrupted so many times that I am rambling. And now I am falling asleep while typing. So if it's not making any sense then you know why. 😛
