I shall type up a single reply and paste on a few posts that have caught my attention.
Apologies for haphazard thoughts
Shall we deal with Devakshi Boxit first? Lovely scenes... all so natural... cute shararats, morning breath and sincere hugs. I was always of the opinion that the SR HAD to be done before this relationship moves ahead. Not because after the SR Sona will have Dev tightly wrapped round her finger... No, the consummation had to happen because, they HADN'T had anything physical interaction before the wedding (I was wrong here. I had been of the opinion (from inference only) they had kissed and had had some physical interaction before the break-up/post proposal... How was I proved wrong? The ease with which Sonanksi Bose and Dev Dixit started moving towards becoming Devakshi Boxit proved that the sexual tension had dissipated post SR). Why I think it was important? Because of what Dev said that day over their coffee date - They became GF/BF to man and wife way too quickly. Yes, the patch-up was very fast. It had to be... else they would have broken-up never to be brought back together again. So there was awkwardness. You see, they never went on too many dates etc before the break-up. Mind you, their courtship was hardly a few weeks..Thank You Sona for sorting that one thing (SR) out for Devakshi... You have other bigger fish to fry now. You guys are now talking. Dev is still love-sick but not s3x hungry... You can have relaxed Scooty, coffee and breakfast dates'. You guys are back to being friends first spouses later
Just a small note on dadi bua = Thank you (NOT!) for helping transform Miss Bose into Mrs Dixit. Your taunts, your body language all scared the $hit out of Miss Bose... She got so subdued/petrified (of losing her love to his greatest fear) thanks to the wedding dramas, that it's taken her weeks (My calculations show they got married about 4 days before Navrati and its Diwali now - so they have been married for about a month now) to morph back into Miss Bose. Dev fell in love with Miss Bose, not with Mrs Dixit. She has finally stopped reminding her husband that its mrs dixit for you'. You see, this is what Big Fat Weddings do... Devakshi, you guys are fine... You have your differences, you have some big challenges in your circumstances to deal with, however, you guys are married to the person you loved... Sonakshi lost some battles but is winning the war.
Neha and Ranvir on the other hand, had to morph into someone they both hadn't fallen in love with. Seen some posts on this. I can't make up mind on whether Ranvir is a self-respecting man or a ghamandi husband who isn't choosing his battles in his attempt to save his marriage. I can clearly see what is the issue with Neha (except that I still can't fathom if something happened the night Neha walked out of that house that we are yet to be made aware of). Part of me agrees with the viewers who think that the Neha-Ranvir ship has sailed... there is too much collateral damage to this relationship for it to be mended. Now, Dev needs to take a leaf out of Ishwari's book when it comes to wooing the guy back to Neha. Dev, you probably don't know, your mother went to the Boses and jholi falo-ed in front of them to get you the toy you wanted/your lost love. You only went to Miss Bose once with your stupid flowers... Mummy went there twice, was begging on your behalf (she had her own hidden agendas, but so do you in case of Neha) and was ready to go again and again. You on the other hand Dev did a lot of damage with Ranvir. Who has now done further damage - one that I think is beyond repair... Dev snatching Ranvir's job... Here is where I open a discussion with my fellow forum-wasis... I think we have seen a different shade of this power flaunting avatar of Dev with Dr Bose and Ritwick. What Dev Dixit was doing with Ritwick wasn't an attempt to discourage Ritwick. It was a (successful) attempt of keeping Sonakshi's attention on Dev... What Dev Dixit did with Dr Bose was drive her down to accept his job offer by eliminating all other job options for her. What Dev Dixit has done with Ranvir (does Ranvir's brother work for charity for Indian Defence?) is not the same. In my opinion (and I know it will differ from a lot of you and I am in no way defending Dev Dixit), what Dev did to Ranvir isn't as disgusting as what Ranvir has done to neha. Also, I don't think what Dev did to Ranvir by taking his job away is as dangerous as what Dev did to Ranvir by mentioning lawyers. Ranvir has made this nasty... I don't know what Neha did in her in-laws house, but, the legal letter to Neha from Ranvir can get her into big trouble. BUT... Dev can easily fix Ranvir's job and Neha's legal problems. What he cannot fix (without learning from his mother) is the words he used in Ranvir's office. That was out of character. Dev uses his money and power to arm-twist people only to the extent where money can fix the problem. He isn't nasty with his words. Sonakshi is rightly confused because she thinks her husband is still not looking at alternatives - i.e. talk to Ranvir and his family. Sona's visit to his Bhabhi have wrongly sent Ranvir down a downward spiral because he now thinks these Dixits are playing games with him. The viewers in us should remind ourselves of the conversation Dev & Sona had when Ranvir wasn't taking the flat that Dev was offering him before the wedding. Dev asked Sona to put herself in Dev's shoes. Sona asked Dev to put himself in Ranvir's shoes. Neither of them could do it. They are still the same. Sona is again petrified of her love. She is 1. Frustrated that people are still not discussing the issue (and not Ranvir's Bhabhi is being unreasonable too) and 2. she has been able to put herself in Ranvir's shoes and all the what ifs must play in her mind. Dev is acting like some kind of mafia as far as Ranvir's point of view is concerned... Enough said
Mamiji - You did Devakshi a big favour. No not the care you showed to Sona. But by that loud cough you did when Sona hugged Dev beech bazar main (they weren't even in their front garden.. they were on the road outside Ishawri Niwas)... that as usual, brought Devakshi in the open.. I like it when you do such things. Sona, what happened there? Your husband wants to romance chup chup ke. It was cute though
Now, Ishu ma... Supriya ji... award leeye bina manoge nahi aap... Kya acting kee hai...
I agree with the analysis of most viewers. Her bhramastra (guilt) wasn't used to its 100% efficiency this time. This time she used it subtly. Partly because her attention is diverted and partly because she now knows Dev is also a husband to a nice girl... A girl who takes care of him and his family like her own. Ishwari needs to however also take a leaf out of Dev's book... You just call out Dev and he will come down to go to the temple with you. He was disappointed at so many levels that moment in the bedroom with his injured wife sleeping in his lap. He was disappointed that his mother is still insecure about his wife who is such a content little girl at heart. All she needs is a hug... no drama... changes into her nightdress and goes off to sleep without taking her husband down a guilt trip. Disappointed that his mum doesn't realise that things have changed but they can still carry on with their little routines... Disappointed that his mum can't see how happy he is with this girl and all mum needs to do is call him... (Did you guys notice Dev didn't leave Sona for a minute when they were bursting crackers...)
PS: Shaheer - please change your glasses... I know I sound like a broken record... they are immensely unflattering
