I had forgotten that right in the middle of this remarriage track there were such pointless episodes too. All I remembered from my first watch was a man saying aane do as he kissed his wife. Of course I remembered haldi and a truly wonderful surprise on a starry night inside a farmhouse. whole thing was pointless... that farmhouse was great... but to get to that hai re...maybe that's why nk was so evident right through the track, without nand kissore kaisan.
No memory however of Anjali and Shyam, which I think is a good thing. agree agree, some sense of self defence makes accident victims forget the trauma, for me that miscarriage is like that. don't intend seeing it this time.
They don't need to occupy any space in my limited brain cells. I will find something more worthwhile to fixate over. And what has happened to Anjali's eyelashes this episode? rosemary's baby... anjali's eyelashes, same horror they evoke. creepy, man.
Anyway, obviously I did not remember Shyam was the one who had brought dadi. As if it was not enough that we were having to bear his nonsense we had dadi thrust upon ourselves. Though what I found intresting was that it sort of gives a reason for dadi's dislike towards Khushi. Shyam most certainly might have poisoned her dull brain already against Khushi and all that was needed was some silly misunderstanding that confused the daughter-in-law with the servant to make the woman detest Khushi vindictively. Then add in a dash of missing amma who turns out to have a familiar name and is actually a mausi. No wonder this woman makes a face at the slightest mention of Khushi.
The actress has no subtlety in acting and the same dialogue writers that give such great lines to ASR and buaji and mamiji give her such horrible ones. Maybe they secretly hate her too. 😆 😆 😆 you may have hit upon something here. about the actress, the only one whose name i don't bother to find out, apart from masala, bubbly and arav, and i will pay in orange juice to find out the names of op/hp 1 and 2/jp ... she was bad. sorry to say this but i kept hearing she is otherwise a good actor... i can't believe it. the lack of any understanding of character and complete block of wood demeanour could not have been disguising a sharp actor there.
If it wasn't all so forced, melodramatic and futile in the end, it might have even shown us that son-in-law's are often blindly worshipped and daughter-in-law's equally blindly relentlessly persecuted for no fault of their own. Good thing that ASR was as strong as he was otherwise Shyam really was a master at manipulation. Specially with this facade of good hiding away all the evil underneath men like Shyam can surely charm gullible Anjalis, dadi's, even sharp buajis.
NK was cute with di. Then when is he not cute? Wish they could give him something more to do. A doctor was called who insisted Anjali needed more care. Everyone is taking too much care of her already. The doctor just gave the whole Raizada clan more reason to bore us sad... did i ever think we'd use words like this for ipk... okay me in nirupa roy mode now. with their incessant reminders of medicine taking time.
I am not in a forgiving mood for Garima. All her scene are bordering on being mawkishly sentimental. But I did like the fact that she confides in her husband. And when she kissed his hands in gratitude for the support I was wishing Shashi Gupta could actually start to talk and put a stop to all this. he was the most sensible guy around, apart from mama ji... i don't count hero ji here... and we saw what writers did to both. not safe to be sensible men around here.
In only a few episodes his character was established so well that even though he never spoke again or for that matter did anything useful, to put it rather bluntly, and yet when I see him I see a sensible man and loving father. I think he and ASR would have got along fabulously.
The whole scene that followed is such a big joke. If it indeed is their daughters wedding would they just leave and go? Payal on phone, sudden rain, everything contrived. Badly written pieces not quite fitting in. We can make out they are trying to have the story take a certain direction, but no one seems to put any thoughts into making anything plausible anymore.
Khushi was mistaken for someone, pushed onto a ramp. She fell off the stage right into the arms of a stranger who ripped her pear dori. She would not leave him alone. He could not stop thinking of her. They fell in love. I blindly believed all this with all my heart and felt joy erupt.
And now all I do is analyze and object and hardly feel even when am wishing with all my heart that something make me want to say nice things about the episode. art really is about making you suspend disbelief. ipk did it brilliantly. we all know the way they met is not plausible and sisters don't come to ramps in the middle of fashion shows, but ipk made you feel... go beyond i know to i feel and oh i am falling flat. that is art. now it's gone away... so we analyjwa. and after having said that wisely, let me put bury my face in my palms and burst into tears. boohoo... look what they did to our ipk.
An entire episode with no ASR. c'mans tells me, bhat bhas the meanings oph that, hello hi bye bye. Wasted my time watching it. A few minutes of him in the last one. Thank devi maiyya for this respite.
Yet I get a feeling they are making him just give stock expressions. Look indulgent, raise his eyebrows.. Mock disdain towards NK.. A few english one liners to be said with lips pursed and that perfectly endearing accent.. for me something has gone missing.. the integrtity of each character is getting played with at the hands of the makers. it's becoming jarring
There was one moment that was sweet. When Khushi called him back to confirm.."Aap aayenge na?".. Yes he is unpredictable and she really wants to do something nice for him, so wants to make sure that he will come.
Ughh but I have to complain because apparently that's how my write ups are going to be now. Her smile was too artificial and his lines simply lines that ASR would say. A certain feeling is disappearing, I desperately want to clutch on to it.
I remember anticipating all sorts of things that Khushi would have planned. For now will continue to imagine the possibilities.
