You said it all 👏
I was disappointed with the episode...the whole wedding entirely as too much negativity. I don't know why Buaji was introduced as GKB was already there what was the need for 2nd GKB?

The focus wasn't Dev and Sona at all.

It was an awful episode. One would have to be an ultimate dreamer to be able to call this romantic the only exception being the varmala scene.
I was actually sympathising with Ishwari. Buaji is vulgar, orthodox and cheap but did the Bose family behave any better though in a sophisticated fashion?

didn't Sonakshi know that in dixits the wedding lehenga comes from the grooms side. Even if Asha didn't then didn't these people have the common sense to ask why was a wedding dress sent by the groom's side?. Or they just don't care as their so called superior culture is much more important as compared to the loud, show offish North Indian culture.

Regarding the food - it went exactly the way it should have. Guests went away without eating. Ishwari had to literally beg to them to eat. Dev is immature and didn't realise that guests might comprise of old housewives also who will not know that when one can eat in hotels etc why not in a party with two stalls blah blah blah.

But the problem is that most of such people go to pure veg restaurants. I have personally seen them doing it. But how and why should Bijoy and Asha care. Dev said yes and it's OK. Why take the trouble of discussing with the groom's mother. Heaven forbid they feel that you are trying to give them some respect.

If fish was so auspicious, there could have been only one stall serving fish to bengali guests in one separate room but no only the bose family and it's guests feelings are important why even care about the groom's family.

In fact the fish delivery incident could have easily been overlooked if so many affront had already been not caused by the bose family.

Bijoy bose in his so called superiority complex simply forgot that his daughter has to go and live with these people and wounds inflicted at such time take a very very long time to heal.

Well - I agree with the food thing. But my 2 cents on both the points raised by you -

1. Being from one culture, it's difficult to know the culture of others thoroughly. But my question is - why there was no communication between the two families about the dresses or menus ? Both are very important aspects in a marriage ! And if they decided to go with Bengali traditions, then how come Dev didn't wear the Dhoti given by the bride's family ? And how did no one point that out 😕 What was the expectations that rituals will be bengali ones, but dresscode and food-code would be of Dixits ? Sorry this is damn confusing 😆 If the expectation from Sona is to wear Lehenga, the expectation from Dev is to wear dhoti as well since it's Bong style 😆


2. Food. I totally agree about not discussing it with Dixits. It IS a big deal for Vegeterians. But my point is, when it was already decided and both parties knew it, why not just try to do things to make it better ? Daughter's wedding is counted as one of the saddest days of parents' lives. Aren't we all supposed to co-operate just to make them feel better ? Asha told Dada to bring food from a Veg restro. Ishwari and DB didn't agree to that as well I felt GKB handled the food thing better in the wedding 😲😆


Somehow this hurting each other due to cultural gap don't gel with me And when things go worse, it's duty of everyone to make each other feel better about their culture, something like what Mamaji is doing 👏. But making faces and giving weird disintereted looks don't help really 👎🏼 After all the grooms are taking away the bride. The family of the bride is left with nothing 💔

I wouldn't go as far to say the episode was terrible, but it definitely was poorly executed. I enjoyed all of the DevAkshi scenes, but they should have been dwelled on for longer. I didn't like how during ALL of their rasams, the camera would alternate to the faces of Bijoy, Ishwari, Asha, and some of the other characters, instead of focusing on DevAkshi. The fish drama was uncalled for, because the typical Ishwari twist was supposed to happen. Overall they tried to squish too much drama into an episode that should've been more DevAkshi oriented. But that's just my opinion.

I was looking for a post like this because I really needed an outlet.
I agree with all the things you pointed out.
Let me begin with the positive things of the episode:

A. I really liked the direction, the flow and the new cameras added a nice touch to the episode.

B. All the Devakshi scenes, that is the few scenes that were adjusted between the great war between Bengalis and Brahmins, were really great.

C. Really liked the fact that Sona got gifts for her sister-in laws. That was thoughtful and sweet.

D. Nikki, Riya and Neha are amazing. They accepted Sona and her culture with open arms. Those three are the best sisters one could have. I wonder if they're really Ishwari's daughters.

E. 2 minute scene of the rituals after grahpravesh. That could have been longer. It was such an amazing scene.

The negatives:

A. They booked a grand venue, got so many extras, took so much trouble to shoot a grand wedding and didn't use even 10% of it. Illogical.

B. Devakshi scenes were so less. It looked like the whole episode was dedicated to GKB, Mama, Bua, Ishwari, Asha. Let down.

C. Sona's reaction to the lehenga issue. She acted like she never knew what they were talking about. I was expecting a good explanation but she started crying. What was that? Totally out of character.

D. Saurab's expressions from the past so many episodes. What is that expression! He was the one who was hell bent on keeping non veg food and now he's all scared and innocent when he sees Dixits protesting. Feel ashamed at the least.

E. Dev and Sonakshi didn't talk AT ALL! Not even in the car when Dev could have easily consoled her. What the hell was that. It was their wedding but they got the least footage.

F. The wedding looked so much better in OLVs. Stupid editors edited amazing scenes like Mangalsutra one, the dupatta putting thing was shown for a second, the games, and left all the nonsense scenes of dadi bua and GKB. So disappointing.

G. Extra intelligent event manager just to create drama. That was not needed. Made no sense.

H. Promos showed Ishwari carrying her own food and water to the venue. Now why the hell is she cooking in the kitchen after the wedding? Memory loss ho gaya makers ko.


All in all, I think the episode could have been so much better without the melodrama. They could have presented the matters in a subtle way. Also, Devakshi scenes should have been longer and more detailed, which they were but we're sadly edited.


P.S.- Another drama coming up on Monday so we'd never get a Devakshi episode ever? -_-

My mother was saying exactly what you are saying. Why didn't these two sit together and make a list of what is to be done and how it is to be done. That is something that is mandatory in marriages.

But for that also I will only and only blame Bijoy and his attitude. Man either plainly refuse for the wedding if you are so against it or if you want to let the wedding happen for the sake of your daughters happiness don't make it a life long hell for her to appease your ego.

Regarding food it was a matter of common sense which bose family royally ignored

Dress everyone has different customs. In punjabis, the dress , jewellery and makeup for the sagan comes from the respective in laws and wedding dress is own. Sonakshi was aware of the customs of Dixits and could have taken a proactive decision.

Regarding Dev's dress. Well as said earlier they all never took the trouble of discussing things.

Also, totally Agree regarding Mamaji and Bua. Mamaji is the only sensible person in the entire coterie.

I don't completely agree with this.
I just want to point out one thing. I don't understand this ego clash between Ishwari and Bijoy. Bijoy was right in being angry and mean till the wedding was not finalised but being an ass in his own daughter's wedding doesn't make sense to me. Just because Ishwari came begging to them for the marriage doesn't mean that Bijoy can blackmail them with that every time. Every father wants to protect his daughter but no father would want to offend his daughter's in-laws because
A. She's gonna stay with them. Why create troubles for her beforehand?
B. Everybody makes mistakes. You can be miffed at them forever but don't disrespect them on their face.

Ishwari is no less. She knows she was responsible for all the mess. Now she expects everybody to forget everything and sympathise with her. I don't that can happen so easily. She had to make a lot of compromises, I understand but she's the one responsible for that. I'm sorry but I fail to sympathise with her.

Just my opinion, no offence meant.

First point I don't believe in taking offence unless someone is being condescending, insulting or mocking.

Difference in opinion are bound to happen, are in fact welcome as they broaden our thought process and also help look at things in a different light. And you my friend in my memory have never insulted anyone through your posts. 😊

That apart I have absolutely no sympathy for Ishwari or her tender feelings as she has never considered others.

My only complaint was that the bose family by hurting, Ishwari and her family's feelings were creating a major problem which Sonakshi will have to suffer. They don't have to go and live with them Sonakshi has.

Rose, call me crazy. But I expected drama n only drama n was thankful for the handful of Devakshy scenes shown on their own wedding like an after thought. If you want to watch Dev n Sona watch OLV's. That is the message from the makers I think. They want their TRP and us loyal followers are not going to provide it. We got first 100 episodes. After seeing what Sony does with other low TRP shows I don't have any hope for our original show. I love the cast n will watch it till it lasts for them n also for my daily quota of them. Will just ignore the negatives piling up for my own sanity. Yesterday the scene where Dev waits eagerly for Sona and the way his face just lit up the moment she comes even causing Ishwari to forget her discomfort and the garland Scene. These stayed with me after the episode. There were only 15 % Devakshi scenes. But these stood out and stayed with me. When the drama of non veg is more important in wedding than mangalsutr then why to expect more?

I am SO mad right now with the episodes and insults at Bong rituals, I am literally mad at them. Not sure if at CVs or at Dixits !

I agree with whatever you wrote, except for Ishwari. Funny she thinks she will lose her 'dharm' by being around Nonveg things or eating from the same place, but her drarm is intact with her when she tricks her son into signing one of the BESTEST marriage-contract krap with a clause like - DIL has to manage her own kid after divorce with NO help from Dev 😊. Dharamraaj Yama would be terrified 😃

Oh there is no denying that her thoughts are twisted and she is a big hypocrite.She can twist anything to suit herself.I still remember how she asked for forgiveness from God on the mention of non-veg food but the thought of doing anything wrong did not even cross her mind while deceiving her son for getting the documents signed.She was at peace with that.Disgusting.
As a standalone issue, I would say I can understand her reluctance to eat there as for many vegetarians,they consider it going against their religion(I am not even going into the logic of how she managed to avoid non-veg households when she worked during their poverty, or how she managed to avoid it in functions Dev took her to because obviously this logic is lost on CVs ) but the entire food issue was managed poorly.Firstly there should have been proper discussions among all family members which is what actually happens in every wedding.Secondly, even if non veg was served, it could have been served in a different room so that both families face no problem.
