Episode 597 Discussion: 11th June 2014, Wednesday

Welcome to the Episode discussion thread which we call as Viewer's and Reader's Respite. That's very apt, don't you think ? 😉. And that proves our objective.

Objective behind the thread is

It helps in keeping the forum clean without much litter.
We can have it like breathers at first followed by analysis.
It also helps like-minded souls and pals bond and gel together to drop in their thoughts for themselves as breathers and for their friends as a peep into the episode and for others to post their reviews.
And those from different time-zones, who do not get to watch the episode at this time of telecast (Indian 8:30 PM), without any worry to trace or keep track of all their buddy's posts, they can come here, read with leisure and later post their analysis after watching it from their Time zones.

Note for All posting reviews and thoughts over this EDT

Please read the pointers below for posting on EDT.

Extremist thoughts and moralizing thoughts are not welcome over this thread. This is anentertainment show we are watching. The channel calls their programs as entertainment and we are watching the show. Discussions are welcome in light hearted and in realistic manner. Moral policing is not appreciated. Neither is ranting or bashing actors or makers of the show. Please exercise judgment.

Please heed to this as direct request and conditional requirement to participate in this thread.

Page 1 - post only reviews (which can be one liners - if you wish.) Also, please don't clutter up page 1 with multiple posts - give others a chance to post their reviews.
Many reviewers add an "ETA" to their original post, if they want to make an additional point soon after posting.
Do not litter the thread with chit-chat conversations. A little is permitted to have the friendly atmosphere, but when you feel like chatting more and the discussion becomes irrelevant to the topic on hand, please take your conversation with your buddies to chat clubs, pm mode etc.
The thread becomes a mess when you give your review and do not REST for sometime until others have posted. Please understand, respites or reviews; once or twice are good for few pages...don't make a regular chat thread with your reiterating /whining / complaining on the same point. For the online readers, the thread becomes unpleasant read. There is a separate Complaints thread in Main Forum
When episodic content is emotional, take a deep breath, give a good lengthy review; that acts as your vent in one single post...and make an exit to calm down your nerves if you still are possessed by only what you've seen.
Regulate the font size and colors. Keep remembering that. It is really not pleasing to see big bolded letters, or multi-colored font for no special reason.
Quoting Policy: refrain from single, double, triple and multiple quoting of posts on a repetitive basis. Pick out the parts that you like to quote as opposed to quoting the entire post. IF has a rule that more than three times quoting is not allowed. But nowadays as people read IF posts over phone, and multiple quoting makes it very hard to scroll though.
Feel free to post links of other members posts which had been "delightful read" towards analysis of episodic event/s or character analysis.

Notes:

For those who cannot watch, can have the Live/Written Updates, usually from Armu4eva URL Not Available

what is happening in the show..whole episode is dedicated to women power and how madhu is going against Raja?

For a second I thought Raja is the villain of the show..👏 great going CV's..keep up the good work..why dont you change the name of the show to Balika vaadhu part 2 ..you would get good TRP's in that way

I need to know do the accused will get hanged for this kind of crime?😕

Only precap is the interesting thing in the whole episode..I have no hopes for that too

600th episode forget it..!!!I very well know it would be a court scene where madhu will show the strength of the women..🤓 Just like how madhu defended padmini for killing a rakshas ballu..

For gods sake!!stop showing social messages..PLEASE

or KILL RAJA and save me from this torture

Ermmm...dunno how to react to today. On the one hand, drama filled - JM will get justice so that Raja doesn't do the same thing to other women in the future. All quite plausible. But then I was distracted by random little things...like, why is JM still wearing her mangalsutra? Is there going to be a scene in future episodes where she dramatically pulls it off? And I liked Rji in her glasses, very sweet and grandmotherly. What happened to them? And did Bhanu give Agni a chemistry-filled sizzling look😲? etc etc... And then there was a moment where I was like, is this the social message track this month? Before the hate-hate story? Of course, I'm totally hooked, and watching, with every intention of continuing to watch in the foreseeable future. And this track must be working - even the people hating it and threatening to quit are watching (reluctantly or otherwise. CVs will probably have the last laugh 😆)

The Precap: Raja has two hours, and an evil smirk. And I was randomly wondering - in Mumbai traffic, thats not a whole lot of time. Hope the chawl or wherever his destination is, happens to be close by. And then I thought, DVD in the same frame 👍🏼.

Wow today AS beat ST
I thought he butchered and killed rk
I hated the heroine track and miscarriage track for that reason

But today AS beat him by bounds

Well anyways your show me AS
Do what u want

I remember I used to chant everywhere during the pathetic heroine track --- kill rk
And now I will chant again -- kill raja

Get a new superhero for superwoman jm ---( she seemed like that --- I will change the system -- woman even Indian government I struggling to change system with little success)

And the new superwoman and superhero can have a lovely love story

And I can stop watching and be spared of this torture --- I hate bhashans -- and off course next will be court room drama --

Me not interested

I can't imagine I was happy that it got extension

Only the precap was interesting. I'm not keeping my hopes high on that also. Rest was only nari shathi. Social message. Just watching it was dvd's sake. Don't want their hard work to go to waste. It's tempting to switch over to mahabrarat everyday. Oh God! What happened to our madhubala ek Ishq ek junoon.😲

I just want one clarification.Is VD playing Villain in this show?(No anti hero,grey pink,violet shades bakwaas please ) .Today's episode hinted this.I will wait till it is clear for me IF Raja is the ultimate villain and quit the show.If JM has been molested by a stranger I will applaud. and enjoy her brave efforts to change the system. But I signed only for this pair if not for love story.. I don't want any lessons in Women empowerment at the cost of DVD to be specific Vivian.

@river123

Curiosity of Viewers will last only till it dawns MB 2 is about the social cause of a heroine wanting to hang the hero and more so realize the hero is made a caricature just to portray the heroine as Jhansi ki Rani .Is Raja is a n habitual rapist? The whole episode and characters made me suspect whether I missed something.

Curious to know if the series or the channel has some kind of self-competition goal they have set for themselves. Exactly which low-viewership channel are they competing to defeat on a downward scale?
The 8.30 pm half-hour primetime slot has not one or two but several shows that are all more mass-appealing and getting much more viewership month after month than this series.
Here, they have picked a social crusade that majority-audience never gives a damn about, with excellent viewership coming in for the wife not being an upheaval-causing marriage-repudiating justice-champion in her own defense for several consecutive weeks. It's a characterization that has an unreassuring trackrecord of getting the track and sometimes the series closed.

And if the husband had to be drugged to do something that he consciously doesn't even consider wrong, then the wife - who has seen he is obsessed with her to the point that he unfortunately wouldn't consider her suggestion that he opt for some other girl - howling that he'll rape other girls as if he was a habitual rapist... - it was shoddy and confounding track-writing.
We have two people who have been raped, and the fact that neither of them knows it won't affect the alibi that the husband - who considered marital rape a nonexistent concept - never forced his wife until he was drugged.
Kudos to the CVs for ensuring that our male lead looks like a villain to the progressive audience and the female lead may assuredly look unsympathizable to the far more massive conservative audience.

If majority-audience's consistently viewership-proven tastes were more suited to what we would prefer, we wouldn't be stuck with far too large a part of society not having progressive ideas.
This is a general-entertainment series with actors and budget paid for and considered commensurate with enough crores of viewership. It's not a charitably funded documentary where everyone and everything might have been available at massively reduced pay to enact for some cause.
And audience individually the prized hoped-for crores of viewers decide for themselves - with no regard for any channel's or PH's convenience - whether to watch a rather shoddily conceptualized social-justice series (which disrespects everything most of the majority-audience loves to see) or an entertainment-series. If the latter suddenly goes traipsing onto the former's path, it should accept that the audience will stay in place and opt for another series which sticks to the entertainment-series description.
MEIEJ usually messes up the content for its landmark episodes. They generally don't show something the fans or the majority-audience would watch with extra enthusiasm, rather the opposite. Consistency maintained, even if it's to consecutive mass-unappealing tracks that fail every week and need to close.
The serial's 600th episode is upcoming on Saturday, 14th June 2014. Wondering if they'll sort this botch by then, or sometime later or not during the existence of this outstandingly unappealing track.

If they intend to keep up this nonsensical mess beyond the episode #599 - Friday, 13th June 2014 -, could they give viewers a break from their overwhelmingly 'interesting' story, and just show behind-the-scenes celebration for the 600th episode? It may turn out to be the best episode in a long time that way, and might even tempt many to rewatch MEIEJ episode again. At least it'll be a good (non-story) episode in the middle of this excruciating track.
