Every other show on every other channel has that. There was absolutely no creativity or newness in that storyline and such a strong actress's (bua saas) talent has gone to waste. I was really hoping this case to be only of Karishma Singh's and Puchpee's but as usual, Billu inspired HM is back in action.
These days Haseena's approach to cases is so lax even in sensitive issues. It's almost like she, herself forgets that she is HM and not Urmila. I don't know if the point here is to give the MPT a chance to do their own gig before she jumps in to save the day or what? and even if it is for this reason, this just makes the MPT members seem more and more incompetent.
Honestly, the only character that has been shown to have grown in terms of the profession has been Santu. With her Maddam Sir's death, her masumiyat has been killed too. She is now much wiser, more comprehensive and more understanding of situations and the sweetest part is shown whenever she is guiding Urmila about how to be a good police officer. I do miss the masoom Santu though.
@ bold: I agree di. they honestly didn't need manju and clan to be part of it. bua saas alone would have been enough to raise the stakes. I am not good at stories but here is my two rupees ka idea.
bua saas comes to Lucknow and sure; Pushpa Ji lies because she wants approval. then show us what difference it makes to her life. does she become more confident, self-assured, open to people or change the way she sees things? why is this approval and support system so important to her?
Karishma being the person she is comes clean to bua saas about their profession. that naturally creates conflicts of interest between Karishma and Pushpa Ji. without any outside influences, they try to navigate around their clashes, solves their issues and understand each other better through assertive communication (just like what we saw them do) thus strengthening their bond, giving a message to the audience or whatever cheesiness they want to add. then, they work together, scratch that, Pushpa Ji leads this case and solves it.
what does that achieve? killing two birds with one stone. first, they get to stretch this track while keeping the audience hooked by showing the personal lives of existing characters (people we care about) rather than new entries every week that I couldn't be bothered about. second, Pushpa Ji achieves her dreams of leading a case before retirement.
@italics: LMAO. The urmilla charade has become so irrelevant and pointless in the grand scheme of things that they need her to do stupid things like manhandle manju and lead cases to keep it relevant. yet, it makes no sense. why in God's name would she manhandle Manju? why would MPT even let her do that? I am going down the rabbit hole again but why does she need to jump into everything they do? like Karishma and Pushpa Ji could have handled their relative on their own. she didn't need to introduce a twin sister story. as cheetah would say: nahi pata ka karna hain toh chup raho na yaar. and can they please set boundaries? just a tiny scene where Karishma reminds her and themselves that she is NOT haseena and does NOT need to interfere in their matters. because I don't care about what the audience knows. the characters do not know who she really is. so why they are letting a supposed street vendor who has no knowledge in policing interfere in their work?
@underline: I am in consensus with this. my masoomiyat has grown so much and although I couldn't be prouder, I do wish uff! yeh massomiyat stayed consistent. the way she guides urmilla reminds me so much of the way she handled the junior (arna IIRC) that was assigned to her during the bomb plotline. that maturity seems to have surfaced permanently after losing someone important to her.
