Minute of Musing #Edited

1. Roma, poor direction or a sign of the future? She went from appearing bored to showing mild expressions of shock, and anger. But not enough toeffectively demonstrate horror at madhus situation. No pleas or angered comments telling RK to leave Madhu alone. This from the woman who said she would strangle RK if he was in front of her when she saw Padmini and her brother being humiliated on tv. Not sure where she will go.

2. Trishna blaming Madhu a few days back... it didnt really gell with the image of the sister who lifted Madhu from the ground when she collapsed. The Trishna who comforted Madhu. It felt like a forced and out of place scene in the context of things. A Forced scene to turn her in to the 'negative character. Trishna has many scopes, her childhood is more traumatising then Madhu's (remember the apple scene, the firing of a gun, the abuse, the murdered mother?). Her character needs to be explored and developed rationally and not necessarily to fit an agenda. If we are refusing to fit RK in to a box and say he is not all bad despite his behaviour, surely its wrong to do the same with Trishna.

3. Padhmini..Colours shows have a habit of exploring very real and serious issues, showing us strong women who combat these issues. And then leaving them hanging midway. It would be fine if including these had a purpose apart from the shock value. Why not continue making her a strong mother, show how she battles her past.

4. I remember the guy who plays RK also came in that vampire drama on star one. The acting was atrocious. But yikes, he has improved drastically. He seems to be sinking into the role as he goes on which is always good to see.

5. However, the 'Ahan's at the end of Madhubala...Purleaze just stop. I had the impression the actor was repeating it so regulalrly coz he thought it would strike girls dead. But, believe me, i am not swooning🤢

6. Nice set for the wedding, bet they saved money on that.

7. The weddng guests, really looked like lame ducks. if theyd had even 1 better actor it may have been believable. and not one person protested? does this really happen in india?

Musings over for now, cheerz

Edited

8. I knew I forgot something. How did the writers go from an episode that was meant to cause anguish at another womans humiliation...to a comedy sketch written in bad taste. i didnt understand that transition.
