A few hours ago in one of the post I had written that I am eagerly waiting for this episode like a child . Now the question is did I like the wedding ? Yes , I did . Did it meet my expectation or went above it...Honestly ...only bits and pieces of it.

Good Part -

For once I liked their attire and the venue.

I liked the shots when Dev and family came to venue.

Liked the look on Dev's face seeing Sona.

Love the way he bowed down for her...and liked the way he tricked her to look down ..that was the best DevAkshi scene for me today.

For the first time witnessing a Bengali wedding, enjoyed every aspect of it .

Today episode set was designed so beautifully.

Emotions of girls family was shown so very beautifully.

Somethings that didnt go well and for which I always had a problem is the editing . I feel their editing team lacks perfection and is very careless. I doubt after they do the job if they ever do something called as peer review. I felt a lot of scenes were rush thru..as in they could have taken a few close up shots of Dev and Sona's expressions during the wedding . After the bidhayi scene I thought there would be some conversation in the car ..Dev trying to console her ...

They are not waiting for Dev and Sona scene to complete before that they jump into the typical GKB ,Ishu scenes...

I dont see Dev and Sona getting enough screen presence as couple. Its like Sona and Dev have been given a scene because the CV knows that viewers are waiting for them...just for the sake of it they show them...and the rest ... is about Ishwari , GKB, now a new addition Bua !!

Regarding cultural difference - I really dont know why they had to bring it up. Because it was agreed by Ishwari and family that they will have it according to Bengali culture why during the wedding day making such a fuss...

Regarding the fish scene at home...I dont think any event management team will make such a mistake...its like questioning their professionalism. Wouldnt Sona's family have told abt the intercast marriage. During one of the scenes it is said that veg food is prepared by Brahmins...and Infact Saurab and Elina said they were standing next to those so that nothing mixes up... wouldn't it be clearly mentioned to the event management team that the guys family is a Brahmin . ?? So how can such mix up happen... I cant buy this logic...

Graha Pravesh scene , the rise in the kalash has to fall in front of it and not to the side...anyways I can just ignore that ...but there are those minute details that they could have worked on with perfection...Isnt arthi done using camphor?? I guess one of the earlier scene Bua told arthi is done using karpoor ( camphor ) and not using diya...this time they used Diya and Bua didnt say anything ...

That scene GKB hugging Sona could have been avoided...

There was too much of negative scenes...There can be difference of opinion but to openly mock someone elses culture and that too during a wedding ...I dont think ppl of our country are so heartless...

What I felt today is that our show is no more the same...Dev and Sona are loosing their screen space and is being occupied by the others. CV team is bringing in so much of negative scenes ...can we blame them ?? No because that is what the majority wants I feel. One look at the TRP might make us agree to that ...so what happens to ppl like us who started watching this show thinking that we are going to get a matured love story with a lot of goodness?? ...What happens to our pride, when we appreciated our CV team to be different from others, who had the talent to end every episode with a good note and surprise us ???

Well answer is I dont know...probably they are lost in the race to survive in this commercial world . I keep thinking so when it comes to money even something as pure as art also has to bend to survive and our show is a good example for the same...

PS : To all the actors of this serial , if I am still watching this show is because of you guys...especially Erica and Shaheer. If not for them I would have left the show some time back. ..too much negativity just for the sake of it and too much disconnect betwn the scenes.

I'm absolutely Dumbfounded after watching the episode. What did I just watch? Utter nonsense! Seriously! Waited for so long for #DevakshikiShaadi# and this is what had to show, #Clutural differences# orthodox buadadi# shrewd mami# and #victim of split personality Ishwari# Did not expect this. only two scenes of Dev and Sona was worth watching #vermaala# and when Dev tries to defend Sona's family during Fish drama, that's it, other than that, it was totally a waste of time and emotions episode.

I truly hope that we get to see some cute romantic scenes of DevSona otherwise there is nothing else left to watch in this show. I am very scared that the story might just take the saas bahu turn, which will be a huge let down.

Come on CVs, don't let us down! this is the only show I watch after I go home from home to relax my mind and soul.

How I wish they could have saved the post marriage episodes for all this family drama ,taunting and negativity...there was absolutely no substance in wedding specially after so much of promos I had my expectations on top...CVs need to get the essence back to the show...absence of Devakshi sequence was such a big turn off..forget about their scenes together,I barely saw them speaking...I won't get surprised if we wont see any post marriage romance b/w main leads.
The precap was enough to give us few hints of how their married life going to b..
I remember the precap after neha 's marriage in which Dev and Sona were sharing some emotional yet cozy romantic moment together in Dev's room.Dev was sobbing thinking about Neha's send off from his house..it was much better n positive than their own post wedding precap ..

I will wait for few more days...now that they are married , I hope there will be more scenes of these two as couples...if not ...going to stick to the forum...and read thru the post ...or just want their scenes online...

They are not completing the scenes ...especially Dev and Sona's scenes...I am not able to explain it well I guess...for example...every step in a dance should complete..you cant rush thru..and jump into the next step...then the beauty of the dance will be lost...similarly here they have two lovely actors who are too good with their expressions...but they are not making use of them...they had beautiful opportunity today to do that but again missed it...I guess their segments are better than their episodes...

Anyways will wait and see...if these two Dev and Sona are not going to be shown then I will decide to switch channels.

Even during Neha's wedding ,we got to see a lot of their scenes...now that it is their wedding we dont see them but we see all their relatives who are on to the negative side...today that cultural thing just took the beauty of the wedding...yes I understand they wanted to stick to reality ...its not that no one has had an intercast marriage and we are not new it to this...

I feel they just bring in Dev and Sona so that viewers watch the serial. And it is the truth...these days when GKB or Ishu scenes /negative scenes come I switch channels...I didnt see that fish scene, I switched channel...had seen it in one of the segments and I thought it was stupid...just brought in there to make a big issue...for the sake of commercial value /TRP

Dear ..
I respect your views...Maybe I would have felt the same if I has watched it with the expectations u had set...

but just few things I want to say..I dont know if they will change ur POV coz I dnt want it "should", but I wanna still try to see if few points get satisfied

1. First and foremost, Just re-arrange ur post and read. I mean the negatives first and the positives later. Mayb they give a better after effect. I say so coz if you see the things u didnt like first and then the things u liked later..it will leave a positive impact or give u a better flavour to the episode or wedding.

2. For editing, mayb not perfect bt they still managed to do a good job..again according to me.
1 hour and entire wedding to be shown with all ingredients is a tough challenge but yes thats their job.
It had to touch upon a lot of things, rituals, emotions and feelings of everyone, issues, perspectives, arrangements etc etc
If they wud have extended it for more than one episode, continuity would have surely been broken. So for one episode full wedding, crisp one, I feel they did a good job

3. Dev Sona scenes were not shown coz they wud have any dialogues today coz dats wat happens, bride and groom hardly get a moment to talk..its always those smiles and expressions that do the talking. And if they wud have shown those scenes a little more, one hour was less a time. Mayb an episode without ad wud have managed that.

4. Cultural Difference - Fuss was coz I have myself seen orthodox people creating that fuss at weddings..they make weird faces which are really not good in taste, ur choice if u wanna concentrate on them and spoil ur fun. And yes they don't even think that they are doing it in front of others coz for them their ritual and traditions and rules are above all. They think they are right and know better than you.
Let me tell u one thing, leave weddings, I have seen elders doing this when someone dies..a person has left the world and wat they care for is follow the rules for they will determine and pave way to mukti. I hope I make sense here in telling u what kind of people are out there.

GKB scene with Sona - yes could have been avoided

Event management scene - I think i'll give it them for if there wud not have been non-veg at the wedding, mayb the co. knew of dixit being vegetarians but coz even wedding had non-veg they wud have never thought of that issue.
Yes they shud have confirmed with Saurabh for that but he gave an explanation in the end that he got busy and went for vidaai. there are so many things and responsibilities in weddings, u jst dnt ask everything. being a event guy, you are expected to know major things and do them without being told to do so. And for everything you don't ask, you jst do it.



In the end, if you still feel the same..then dear I will jst say..
Just like all weddings we attend, we like some, we don't like some
but the one's who have arranged it have given their best short and have tried their best to make it loved by all
but they can't make everyone completely happy. We all have so many different thoughts and expectations, which cannot be met for all at same time.

I was asking myself the same question after watching the episode. Agree with your PS. Drama, drama and some more drama is what they focused on. Except for the scenes in the beginning where they showed the hall and arrangements, I didn't like the episode much. Even if they just played music and showed the wedding, decorations, happy faces around like in normal wedding videos, I would have enjoyed the episode better.

Well, I might still be eith the show as I was with BALH, just for the two leads. Love them a lot, no matter what.

I really hope that the CV's see sense and give what the audience wants. Correction, what the loyal and passionate audience wants. We give our everything to it.. I cannot tell you but it is so difficult for me to even come to this forum, but I keep it always logged in... And in between meetings, presentations, bio-breaks I comment... Hard pressed for time...

I want to see some real lovey, natural scenes, between this gorgeous couple. Thereafter, I really want maturity and proper communications between the two... As of now these seem wishful thinking, but then hope is all that keeps us going!
