Disclaimer: Candy's gone crazy and is on a ranting spree. Continue at your own will and risk.
Should you wanna leave, now is the time to. Coz once you go ahead, I expect you to read it till the last word!

Imma be conducting a quiz, ya know?



Now, people'd be like

Its not even been a goddamned day since she ranted, dammit!

Yeah? But with all the crap that's being spewed out here, did you really think I wouldn't rant?


Get that ass right back in here and read this. I bloody typed it!! And you better read it all.

Before I start, let me make bullet points so that I wont stray and end up ranting about the open sewer beside my apartment that is making it really hard for me to even breathe, given that its bloody raining here, I'm at home and it f**king stinks like crap!

  • Yesterday's eye widening episode
  • The goddamn comments in quite a few threads
  • The groups in this forum

Yeah, that should be it. Even if I stray around, just club it into one of the above categories.

Yeah, he's sexy and he knows it. So do I.

Yesterday's Episode:

See, I'm going to be honest, alright.
Did I looove the episode? No.
Did I get fed up of it? Nope.
It was somewhere between raising my eyebrows and liking it.

I mean, c'mon. I signed up for the revenge+love saga of an anti-hero, and it was going bloody well till Thursday. What in the effing crap did the writers eat that made them wanna push and stuff things into this episode?

->
I am not against cloud seeding.
It is true.
Cloud seeding happens. It has been under practice in abroad for quite a long time now and it is being used in India as well.

Oh, so just one man can do all that stuff? Ye kya Superman Singh Raizada hain?
1: Superman needn't need the rain, duh.
2: This is where I had my eyes widened.
See, the writers could have made this look way more convincing. Coz
a: This guy is filthy rich. And if not owning a private jet, he sure can atleast rent it for a day.
b: Agreed that for cloud seeding we do need a team of scientists and long preparation for it, but there are simpler methods as well - the ones that do not need too high a cadre of scientists or govt officials to rear their head into.
See, all this should have been written and properly sold out.
Like, Advay is a math professor. He could have teamed up with a friend/colleague of his back from London whose expertise is in the related science or weather stuff, have the calculations, possibilities and approximations done, get the needed stuff prepared or bought, taken the help of 2-3 members from here, cloud seeded for just a couple of kms perimeters and bloody waited.

If this is how they'd have showed, oh God, I'd be jumping up and down rolling, rushing, gushing and fawing over the entire cloud-seeding stuff.

But to have him sit in his room, click his lappy and get it done all by himeslf without showing atleast a little backdrop of what he did to get this done, that's like...they've given me a scene and I am now asked to understand and develop it.

What I am trying to say is, with a little bit of homework and preparation, it is possible to could seed, coz hey, he's filthy rich and rich people always get their ways done.
And that's the point. They get it done. They dont do it single handedly!

Plus, I'd have really liked it if Advay would've been a bit more nervous coz cloud seeding doesnt come with solid assurances. I'd rather have him wait and then have his smirk of victory when it began to rain.

And given that it is monsoon, if the makers would've shown that Advay has been planning for cloud seeding for quite some time now and already has it all planned and scheduled and actually done it and is actually waiting for the result, I swear, yesterday's episode would've been a seeti-maaring one!

Hell, I'd ignore the rest of the stuff and would seeti maar, if they've out atleast some of this effort into explaining what and how he got this stuff done and not show him as the one man army all the time!

But...

I am so damn happy and relieved that Advay did not begin chanting mantras (coz hey, he's from the Mahant parivaar too and he probably knows all the enchantments) and compelled the Gods to let the rain be poured.
If that would've happened, Candy would've shut her mouth and be gone for until the next episode would've aired and she'd have something to talk about.

I am uber glad that they have introduced a glimpse of a technology. I only wish they did it more promisingly. Yaar, writers ki kami hain tho batate! We have awesome analytic people in our forum and brilliant writers who can blend the science with macho-ism!


->
Regarding the temple's doors?
This is really commendable man! I seriously loved this bit, though, again, I would like to have a bit more insight of it, atleast in the coming episodes.
But see, this is what I am talking about. Atleast they gave a hint that they are well aware of what they are talking about and really do have facts to prove it, even if they gave just a glimpse of how it is done.

This particular bit was fantabulous. The writers did a pretty good job here!


And, it really is true that a lot of temples and forts have secrets passages and rooms that can be opened only with the combinations of heck lot of stuff. And for international viewers, please hop into Indiana Jones.
You're gonna love the climax.
(Haayeee... Barun when he said that dialogue and I heard it for the first time? I had my jaw dropped and blushed like hell! I still do, but that's beside the point. Haider Ali Khan is the Charming best of Barun!)

Coming back, there is one topic that Omkideewani posted, and boi, its a real good read. Please do have a peak. Its got one of the beautiful examples that relate to this particular topic: Omkideewani's Take.

->
Indrani's extreme sides.

This woman has me intrigued, alright?

I mean, she's so sick! Like...she can bloody murder a woman one moment and then go and plead before God and justify herself?

Like...whaow.

This is the kind of antagonist that I really really love to watch. Ya know, those who dont scream at the top of their lungs or do the OTT action of raising their brows, tilting their heads, smirking and gloating all the time?

I mean, seriously, she killed a person in her own house! *jaw drop*

And then goes ahead and bows before God *goosebumps*

And justifies herself giving our an analogy to God's creation? *slight shiver*

She's an out and out villain. A one that I am really impressed and intrigued with. She is bloody dangerous and she knows it. She's like the still waters. The surface of still waters is calm but they run bloody damn deep and are extremely turbulent as it gets deep.


->
Again. Another betterment in the screenplay.
The snake bit the woman. Alright. Believable.

Why does the snake need to come out and make an appearance? I mean, when the woman put her hand in, the snake could've bit and then later we could've been shown that there was a snake in it.

And the blood?
Clearly her head was hit, probably a couple of times for all that blood to come out. But who did it? *curses the editing and screenplay* It is not the time for puzzles, goddammit!

Hum CID thodi dhekh rahe hain to figure out all the stuff before it is revealed (if it shall be revealed)


->
The dialogues though, are really commendable in this episode. Good job writers!

I loved the interaction between Advay and Chandni.
Specially all the dropping-hints and to and fro of kaali raathon se bhi kaali and hum kaali raath nahi hum Chandni hain.
That tit-tat to and fro was bang on! I loved the spirit of Chandni here.

And that one moment of absolute crazy rage when Advay pulls her back after she gives him a retort, bhai, that's what I have been missing in this episode. Yaar, bring back our kameena, battameez anti-hero.
Also, this particular scene was a bit both good and frowning kinds.

Coz, see. She gave her retort like a slap on his face and it owing to what Advay innately is he got mad. Barun was bang on at that. IT was just a split of a moment and yet his expression was oh my gawd (and I really hope they concentrate more these expressions rather than having them stare for more than necessary. I mean, that guy is giving brilliant performance there and thanks to editing, I get to see just a split second of that!)

So coming back, here's another thread by mayukatta who had a very beautiful take on how this particular scene should've been shot and honestly, I do agree with her: mayukatta's take
It is bloody good and way more real and impactful.

->
Advay's reaction when he sees blood in the house, and when he sees the dead body?

I mean, this guy is not even a 1% perturbed that a murder happened. Usko tho sirf back to square one ki padi hain.
And I loved it!

For a guy who saw his parents being murdered ruthlessly, I dont think seeing another person, that too the one who blackmailed Indrani, being murdered would come as a shock.
If anything, he'd be expecting that to happen.

And this particular scene could be made into another master-piece.
It shows how Advay's mind and existence works. He's so broken and used to seeing such dark things that he is well prepared to face many more before he came here and not even a murder can bring out any expression from him except for leaving without a second glance and wondering how to get back to figure out what the real truth is.

Barun absolutely slayed this scene! *happy tears*
This would've been such a milestone kinda scene had it been dealt properly!


editor, screenplay writer and director?

Like...what's wrong with you people?


->
The precap...Well...

Kindly visit Beharmi Thread to know what exactly we are thinking and hoping it would be like (sanskaari people, stay out, there are high chances you'll might get pregnant with the stuff we talk there and might end up having an heart attack too)


The goddamn comments in this forum:
Sometimes when I enter threads, I'd be like:


Like...what the hell is wrong with us?!

See, I might sound like a broken record, but you asked for it!

I shall be talking of this for as many times as it takes, so that when you read this, and some time down the line you lose your shit and are tempted to post something in reply to the disgusting comments sprouting, you'd be like..
Oh hell no! I rather ignore this crap than have to read another long rant from Candy.

Jokes aside, honestly, its high time we stop the personal comments, bashing and remarks, be that about the TM or the actors or anyone for that matter.

See, losing shit and commenting once to slap the facts on the TM is different. That happens. Sometimes the TMs ask for it. I am not saying its okay to do it, but well, at times it is justified.
But to get back and continue that crappy fight?
We can do and be much better than that.

I mean, look at the TRP discussion thread. There is anything but TRPs discussed in there.

Yes, it irks you to see instigating and below the belt comments. But hey, as long as we dont keep replying, they wont have something to quote. And as long as we dont respond to their jibes, they wont have something new and ugly to come up with.
I mean, I replied in that thread twice yester night and the last I saw, I wasn't quoted.

Like I said before, lets keep our second home a warm, welcoming and happy place.

Coz, I'd be going there and my mind's screaming What is the Thread about and what is being talked of in here?

Seriously,


A few of the replies there...I swear, I was like..Do we have an option of blocking people from the forum?


Groups in the forum:
It isnt even two weeks and there are groups already?


Apparently, there are lovers, bashers and The Others.

And I was like...


Coz hey!! I wanna be a part of one of the groups!!

And then it hit me that, I already am a part of a group.
The BESHARMI group!!!

And I am proud of it, duh!


So, bottom line, group or not, no matter which one or what, lets just stick to keeping this forum as happy, positive, warm, welcoming and friendly as possible.

Also, just coz you think you belong to one group, it doesnt mean you have to go hate or be hurt by what others are saying in the forum.
We do have a pretty good analysis writers in here.
We have neutral critics.

And if you are with a calm, cool head and wanna give a shot, the neutral criticism, though most of the times borderline into not too favorable side of the show (which most of the times makes sense, thanks to the editing, screen play and direction masterminds we have); it is actually a good read. They do raise good points, sticking strictly to talking about just IPK3 without any comparisons (which I really appreciate)


I think that's pretty much what I wanted to rant today.
Coz yesterday when I saw the episode at 11:30, I was having a mixed reaction. I liked a few bits, a I loved a few, I was awed by few, I was intrigued by few, I cringed at a few and I facepalmed at a few.
Then I got to IF and the forum was literally sprouting sarcasm and bashing and every kinda negative shit!
I shut it out coz it was beginning to get under my skin. But then, this morning when I saw a repeat, I was like...hey, its not as bad as it felt yesternight.

And so I decided that its time for me to rant.



For all those who successfully got to reading till down here,


You guys are the best! I mean, seriously...


Er..sorry. Wrong GIF. It is supposed to be..


And those who are irked and wanna bash me or the post or the rant, y'all can take your brain out and royally put it



Did I get you there?



Till the next rant,
Love&Hugs!


Incase you missed my previous rants (for sake of a laugh, if you need one):





P.S:
Lindly ignore the typos.

P.P.S:
I took the liberty of adding other writers' threads. Incase you have a problem with that, kindly let me know, writers, I shall remove them.
I have no intention of offending you.

Nice rant! I almost liked the yesterdays episode.. Overall concept -wise episode was good but execution wise there was scope for improvement..for example the cloud seeding could have done with a background like you mentioned..i would have liked it. The devil is in the details- which is what the makers seem to be missing in creating the scenes (but overdoing in the styling). I am not so much into hindi tv soaps so cant use such an example but what i used to like about JK Rowling's Harry Potter was how even a small scene would have a rich background. Of course i dont expect a desi soap to be jk rowling level but at least they should try. I liked the attempt to explain the lock released on sunlight and specific sound thing. Even if I could hear it properly(will have to rewatch)

Regarding snake bite and blood, I am not 100% sure but sometimes depending on the type of snake, the venom could lead to bleeding mostly internal(not necessarily from the head though). i didnt mind the blood but the scene execution could have been the way you said and also how did they dispose the body in the 'beech bazaar' without people noticing.

Nice rant!! Agree it was a complex episode with science and stuff, but it's not bad as some claim.
But the Q is how would our superstitious trp like science factors? In that context, channel is quite smart to telecast it on friday.

Btw, who are those 'others'? Are they lovers, bashers or bashers in disguise as critics?

They are neutral critics. Well, I do believe they are. I read just a post or two and they've done pretty decent job.

There are things I wanna talk about..
Bullets point
Cloud seeding
Payal
Ranting
Imagine this... In prior episodes we get to see advay working on lap... Discussing with friends... Working.. and then on that day.. we see waiting... Getting calls... And later when it rained.. we get all this fb... And more explanation s then we won't to be face palming ourselfs..

Candy is here darling
I agree with u on many things...
I really wish they had shown more detailing on cloud seeding...I would have loved it...but Honestly I don't think so much detailing Will be welcomed by trp audience... They will get bored... They just need drama... fact hurts... But makers have to keep that in mind
But that would have not stopped posts in forum... They would say I signed up for love story not technology or scientific stuff
I believe in door opening with mantra because of mechanism... I strongly believe our ancestors are more brilliant than us in technologies ...
I liked the episode because I know I am watching Indian serial... it's not produced by Disney nor directed by James Cameron ...
And writers can't write good suffs everyday in serials... It's impossible... Even we ff writers can't write all good chapters ...so it's fine yaar...
When I signed up for this show, I expected more silly tracks... Because I am practical... I know how Indian television works!

Candy wow loved your take.
I enjoyed yesterday's episode.
And its full entertainment for me.
In fact till now all the episodes have been awesome.
I watch a show for the entertainment purpose and its fulfilling it all.
My favourite actors Barun and shivani are nailing their characters.
So I am enjoying the show instead of criticising it at every aspect.
Every show has glitches here and there.
We too have and those areas can be improved with time.
Love and hugs.
And once again a big tub of ice cream for u.
Sona.
