ah well
the director changed, so maybe they're all pretty confused right now
i just hope it doesnt mess things up in the long run
that's what i wanted to ask sanaya, whether she thought LM leaving would ruin the show but of COURSE noreen would never ask that question.

Got to agree with you and I'm glad I've found someone to agree with! The 'Delhi Bali Hotel' concept was an ok continuation from yesterday's ending...it was the dance that had me cringing. It was so out of place...Barun and Sanaya did a fantastic job with the emotions and dancing but it would have been so much more "butterflies in stomach" inducing in different circumstances and with different attire...I also couldn't see how Khushi looked so different to her normal attire to warrant a glazed look from Arnav at the top of the stairs.

What could have been electric moments felt like a dead battery...maybe our expectations are too high.

Agreed! Fully agreed with everything here.
SO very true about the cheesy part!! CRINGEE!

To be honest, I had a pillow over my face, and just peeked the show, if you know what i mean. All the while screaming, "Omigod, Omigod, that music is awful. Good God!".

The only saving grace, like always, was, Arnav Singh Raizada and the conveniently dropped lock of hair on his forehead. Thank God for eye-candy, I say!

Taken in isolation, I liked the dance.

But the problem was, the dance was not in isolation--- it had the background of fake scenery, of gawking family in super-close proximity, not to mention un-synchronised music.

I admit that in joint families, everybody noses in on a couple's private business--- creating romantic opportunities, teasing, goading about 'required' pregnancies.

But if Anjali had to create this, all she had to do was book a hotel--- dinner and dance for everyone--- the family would have remained for the evening, (CVs need Shyam to be there) the music could have changed to salsa, and the dance could have a more natural, sizzling ambience on a proper dance floor at the right distance from the dining tables and family, and the dance could have been much like those in various movies where a couple dances so passionately that all couples just give up the floor to them.

Then of course they could have retired to the hotel room, where everything that happened (decorated room, candle-lit dinner laid, lights switched off, doors locked,) could have happened the same way.

But I guess CVs needed to set fire to the couch to make the bed-sharing permanent, so everything had to happen at home.

The show that gave us the entangled-in-lights scene by the poolside, the Diwali scene with the payal, the Holi confession scene in the gazebo and the poolside, yesterday looked like CVs trying to cut budget corners by borrowing sets, script and direction from a Doordarshan TV serial (if those even exist now).

I expected clenches in my tummy---which I got while watching Teri-meri and Diwali---instead I got the cringes from the tacky scenario, and the forced hugs and falls. The fall on the bed would have sizzled if the earlier dance had taken place on the right note.

Yes, it was epic. Epic Fail.

Where is the show I so love?

Ah my friend is here. Thank you, said it all.

totally agreed...this was the most silly episode so far...it seems like they can't decide on what they want to show...and the story has been sleeping since holi...i have had enough with anjali being shown as a "sweet innocent person" who won't see even the finger poking her eyes out...the actress is being made to over do the little girl wronged thing...if main leads are on holiday then they could have developed a sidetrack of akash-payal and some story between anjali-shyam...or even another arnav shyam confrontation...nothing has been shown of babuji who loves his daughter so much that he went into full on sherlock holmes mode...isn't he anxious now...couldn't they spend a moment to show what kind of inner battle that man is fighting inside with his physical helplessness while his daughter got married in such haste and is living under the same roof as that snake...

its all good that maximum ppl watch this show of the "Romance" and "Rabba ve" scenes...but tht doesn't mean they don't have to have a story...a sensible one...Delhi mein balli hotel indeed

Hi guys!!! I agree 90% with the first post..sorry havnt read all yet...it was a very fake epi yesterday...but v shud nt blame the team just as yet...v can luk at the fiasco from another point of view... see all of us were taken in by surprise cuz of "delhi main bali hotel" right? maybe they wanted to be unpredictible for us viewers as many of us were imagining a decent dinner, a lavish party, hotel booking so they gave us the surprise element. plus we have always known that anjali can b very cheap and always insists on romance between her brothers n bhabhis...so this should nt b a shock for us as such. as much hated the salsa and the fake chemistry...I just liked the fact that there was a song and dance element and the fire part might bring them closer so on 2nd thoughts, it was nt an overall bad epi ..maybe they'll create the magic later on..and thank God ekta isn't the producer...its enuff selling po*n in movies..v don't want her sleazy romance on starplus...BALH was more than enuff for tv audiences.
