Hello Everyone.I am new to the show and got hooked because of the concept which is quite interesting and for a change new.(for now)Hopefully it will remain so and we will have one hell of a time here.One thing that I noticed is that there is barely any activity going on in the forum.Its dead.So all of you silent admirers, do come out of your hiding caves and get a move on.Its good for the health, you know😉
Now with that out of the way, here are my two cents on the show: the story going ahead, themes,questions and suggestions.
Shikha has finally gotten over her maha self and all the crying.She is back for revenge. Yay(two cheers for that). On the serious side how will she get there is the question. She has changed her entire being and has left behind all the things that could have been used against her or to hinder her.Her family, her past,her emotions and her identity.
Six months have passed but why show a gap of such short time.Why not two or more years?That would have added to the authenticity of the show and credibility of Shikha to us viewers.This would have meant she has practiced and exercised a lot for this moment.That she a put a lot of thought and had come up with the revenge plan but Alas.This seems a bit fast and unreal.
Contrary to the common belief I don't think that Sameer will recognize her.Sure he will notice the resemblance but then he will also remember the phone call,the rail track incident , her family's reaction, her dead body being burnt.There is just too much evidence that Shikha is no more.If he knows how his ex wife looked like then he also knows about her behavior, her traits.And this transformation is a 360 turn from the Shikha he knew.So this not that far farfetched as some have said.There are a few reasons for my thinking that way.
First Sameer doesn't know Shikha to be this cunning and ingenious.He knows her to be the giving,weak,full of morals,good, kind girl that she was.It wouldn't cross his darkest dreams that Shikha can put someone else on the rail track there, fake her death and then lie to her parents and put them through hell.
Second and the most important is the drastic change in her traits that makes her difficult to recognize.This Shikha is bold,confident,fiery,cold,calculated and stunningly beautiful.While the other Shikha was anything but that.
Third Shikha is not going to be telling him that she is Shikha right.That would be totally dumb if they do this.Sameer can hurt her and destroy her again.If he gets even a sniff he will sure come down hard on her.He can harm her family, Manav.Remember Madu is the MD now and they both have nothing to gain from Manav now.So he has to remain in the dark for this to work.
Neeraj is the most interesting character for me.We don't know much about him..How does he fit in all this?What are his motives?What about his past?Sure he has told Shikha his story about what happened b/w him and Sameer.How he got fooled into believing him.But, is that it?I for one think that Neeraj and Sameer go a long way back.There is much more there.Maybe Sameer has done the same sort of thing with someone close to Neeraj.And there is also the fact that Neeraj has served time.I think this is all related somehow.So lets see how they handle this.
Moving forward is Neeraj, how is he going to help Shikha?This is a problem for me.He can't go out in Public otherwise Sameer will recognize him for sure.He can't be seen around Shikha, it will arise too much suspicion.Sameer believes him to be dead.Waise, whoever Sameer kills seems to miraculously survive.I wonder why is that?
This is where I think the writers dropped the ball(this could be applied to Shikha as well). They should have let someone other than Neeraj portray the stalker, maybe his brother and then Neeraj comes to avenge him.Or maybe have someone else play the role of the stalker and Avinesh could have portrayed the role after having a surgery or something.This could have opened a lot of possibilities.My gripe is that now Neeraj is someone who can only support Shikha behind the closed doors.Think of how much fun it would have been seeing them both destroy the Jaganaths.But then again they are the ones who have come up with some way too bright ideas already.It would have been too much I expect.But they can make this work still.They need to get there act together.
Now how does Shikha plan her revenge, well we are waiting to see that but I think it will be something like this.She will try to manipulate her way into the company and the family and then destroy the Jaganatths from with in. Trapping Sameer into her love web will be a bad idea and a bit to cliche. Beside what will that acomplish?nothing.Madu and he , as of now have taken control of the Jaganath empire.They have far more power now than before and would stoop to any level to get what they want. They have the sources now to back them, which makes them more dangerous.Plus Sameer is not stupid(well he is but not that stupid you know). He is not going to leave Madhu and the lifestyle behind.Maybe he is also playing Madhu and trying to get everything under his name too, who knows. I think a better option will be to infiltrate the company first, become a share holder or something and then try to influence her way in from there.Maybe use Jay as well, get close to him and use him to bankrupt the Jaganaths.That will provide Shikha a way into the house as well.
Whatever they do I hope they plan it well and don't disappoint us with unexplainable and poor script now.This show has amazing potential and it would be sad to see it go down.
Thank you for your time and for reading.I tied to make it interesting and insightful.
I hope I haven't bored you to sleep.Please do discuss and comment.I took a long time to write this and your thoughts, criticism and analysis would be much appreciated.
PS: Does anyone get the feeling that they might have based this on the American series Revenge??
