Sushpective: Sense and Sensibility (Collages added) - Page 5

Sush,

Your analysis and Shwets' collages continues to keep at least some of us hooked onto the show. I really hope you will continue writing.

Yesterday- I was actually reminded of one of Gul's replies to her bashers on IPK being a franchise and how one has to get out of high school to understand that. The episode was flowing quite smoothly until our shatir dimaag hero decided to adulterate the noodles with sleeping pills and my dimaag suddenly woke up and protested. How on earth did he know Chandni wouldn't have a helping too! This is when I realised I have to get back to high school if I need to understand the writer. (Actually, lower primary or even earlier than that, since I was always quite an inquisitive child)

Seriously! The writer thinks she is writing for school children?!😲

The noodle sedative bright idea for high schoolers and the ridiculous stance on the bed was such an assault on my sensibilities, that I forgot to lose my senses over the ensuing romantic scene- which by itself was a beautiful moment actually. I have no one to blame but myself for not keeping my expectations as low as possible when it comes to the desi soap.

Cut to the next scene- which seemed a copy from season one for the star gazing scene- I had to spend a moment, wondering at how unimaginative people become when they take forward a franchise. But full marks for the scene in the previous episode where Advaiy gently cushions her head as she gets up. (That had been very sweet.😳)

Anyway, some time on the forum today and I have bravely decided to look past these minor deterrents and try and watch in a dumbed down mode.

I think I will definitely stick around- if only for the Sobti factor. He believed in the script and now I hope the script will do him justice.

Also enjoyed the sisters teasing Chandni. This is how I had imagined the track to go, so now will wait to see if it culminates in Chandni marrying Advaiy because 1)Her mother wishes it so. 2)She is at least curious about Advaiy, whereas PP is just a prop in her life and 3) Whatever other majboor situation Advaiy pushes her into.

Sush 🤗its good to be back from the technology detox. I so missed coming here.

First and foremost did the show change?😲 Is it the same show? Where did the brooding angry man go? He has become an obsessive seductive lover. By hook or crook he wants to marry Chandni

Forget ASR even Chandni has changed. She forgot her past?😲😲😲

The calculator new suitor is the comic relief.

We complained about the intensity but looks like we should think before what we ask😕 While they are ready to grant us wish why not do that with clothes?

Enough of my first hand rant 😆 will update my previous post with today's update. If i watch as a stand alone episode i enjoyed the episode😃

EDITED HERE

Call me Sab / Sabi ( short for Sabrina ) 😆

Regarding Chandni ... Just my POV ... Shivani isn't at par with Barun ( who is anyways 😃) ... She is quite limited in her expressions ... But by stroke of luck ( or design , I don't know which ) that limited expression suits the character ... I don't think she is in love like you said ... I feel she is confused and intrigued ... and that's on a superficial plain ...But if I stretch this a bit and try to go deep, then this is a lost numb kid without an anchor ... She lost her mom ( possibly at an young age ) , she lost her best freind Dev , she lost her dad to amnesia , she lost her so called reputation to abduction , she believes her step mom is an angel whose love she doesnt deserve ( being a step daughter ) , so she tries to please her in everyway ... Now here comes a paheli , a riddler ( in Advay ) ...she is curious and intrigued but she doesn't question him too much , because life has never given her answers ...it has always given her questions ... She has lost the habit of probing too much . So when Advay calls get Jhooti ; she doesnt interrogate him , she simply declares she needs to go ...what's the point in asking , life and surely this Pagal man will not give her any answer ... So, shivanis limited affectless face actually works in this scenario 😊 ... By the time the story reaches a point where she will need to break down / retort / seek answer ; shivani will have to take the acting up a few notch ( which Gul should be able to bring out ) ... Right now this emotionally radar less lost kid with an amicable veneer ( my daughter will make any house / home a happy one ; according to Maleficent Indrani ) is perfectly characterized in Chandni ! I can't think of anyone else playing this numb character better than her. Sorry for the long bak bak 😆 Thanks for your thought provoking post

Don't you think we are being overly critical to the show???

About noodle things, let think in this way that Advay got to know that Chandni is making noodles for her sisters only or, take it this way, even if she ate the noodles at that time, Advay will think of plan B ...as simple as that...Because Advay arranged those chand-taarey after mixing the drug in noodles...

Anyway different people have different aspects of analysing scenes!

I too liked her monologue today and hope we will see more of that...Her character is written to be confused at the moment...and she is playing it well...one can see why she is confused...

The only disconnect is from her back story...which should have made the part of being charmed more difficult forcing Bituwa to be gentler in his approach...more sensitive...

Yup! It's like they just established the back story in week 1 for the sake of it and then bam! Forgot about it 😕 She doesn't seem to be that anxious at Advay invading her personal space anymore, at least not as anxious as she SHOULD be. The only satisfaction I get is that though she's charmed and mesmerized during the ten 'rabba ve's' we get per episode, she doesn't forget all the perplexing things he says. This is why it's frustrating we don't get her POV at all 😒 I want to see if she's starting to connect the dots, picking up on the double meaning of his words - that he's out to DESTORY her. She asked him last week 'aapko mujhse kya dushmani hai?' and I cheered! That was some progress, so we know she AT LEAST is aware he has less than friendly feelings towards her. I wonder why doesn't question him, 'why do you wanna marry me Advay?!' She just seems to be too easily playing along in his 'game'.

*sigh* 😡😆 I'm just frustrated at how poorly they're developing her character is all. It sounded so, so good on paper and I'm not blaming the actress in this because she's doing a damn good job considering what SHODDY writing is being put together for her character at this stage :|
