Random Musings - Nov 8, 2010 Episode Analysis

So this week started with Imli spiking Vidya's drink and all the ladies dancing unrestrained in total abandon under the influence of alcohol. While the men are dancing downstairs, Aditya decides to check out the women's party but ends up dreaming of Priya. Now...I realize this is a Hindi series and that for ratings to grow, a dance every so often between the lead pair is pretty much the norm. This reality of the television business made me overlook my misgivings about the fact that Aditya & Priya's relationship has not reached the point where a slow song dream makes sense. Even with that set aside, the dance, as shown, broke the rhythm of the sequence it was inserted in. Had Aditya started dancing with the women and imagined one of them as Priya, the screenplay would have had a far smoother flow. Granted, this is a done to death way of showing a lead character's imagination, but it would at least not have been a tempo buster!

Meanwhile, Rishabh, as expected, creates a furor while in a drunken state. It remains to be seen if his taunts about Bramhanand's so called power were merely empty words or based on some deeper knowledge. In any case, it made me wonder what the root cause of the apparent hatred between the two was. Does it have anything to do with the accident that crippled and changed Rishabh forever or was it merely based on professional jealousy as Aditya's character seems to think? It is also clear that Rishabh recognizes that Uttara admires her jijaji but more interestingly, it is only Devyani's interference that he responds to. I hope the writers show some of the context for Rishabh's respect for Devyani in the future screenplays of the series.

Moving on then to what was the most interesting part of the episode'the conversation between Devyani & Gaurav. It not only directly hinted at issues between father & son, it also revealed a relationship dynamic between Devyani & Bramhanand. And'as predicted by Gaurav, Bramhanand blames Devyani for the spectacle created by Rishabh. Bramhanand's verbal abuse provided some basis for Devyani's reaction to what is happening in Uttara's life. Devyani manages her husband's abuse by running as perfect a home as possible and not letting anything affect that. Given this, it is not surprising that she thinks managing Rishabh's abuse is in Uttara's hands.

The episode closed with Aditya finding out that Priya lived in Ghaziabad.

From an overall perspective, I loved:

• The acting in the episode which was fantastic. The actor who plays Rishabh was spectacular to watch.
• I loved that the screenplay showed the carefree side of the women.

What did not work for me was:

• The screenplay for the dream sequence.
• Still find that Ishq Hai does not fit in well. It was better than the previous times though!
• Why did Aditya & Gaurav not jump in to drag Rishabh away as he started on his tirade?

Aha.....now this makes for a wonderful read..!! 👏 and well i m totally at a loss to understand why neither Aditya or Gaurav tried to stop..counsel or drag Rishab out of the spectacle he had created..!! As for Devyani..it shows that her false pretenses run her world...maybe thats the sole comfort she has..the outerglow of an apparently perfect family..!!

In the acting department..Rishab-Uttara ....Aditya..happen to be my favourites at the moment in terms of performance...

As for the dream sequence ...well as u said urself.. TRP ke liye kuch to karna padega...n well me din mind it....considering how i drool on AdiYa these days..😳

Eagerly waiting for a jaldi se accidental punar milan of AdiYa!!

That was a fab write-up, Jaya!!! 👏

Even I thought that the guy playing Rishabh stole the episode with a powerful performance!

Somehow the feeling I got from the entire confrontation scene was that Rishab, despite his abusive and boorish behaviour, really loves Uttara and knows somewhere that Brahamanand's intention's regarding his wife are not good! Especially because Rishabh says that he knows why Brahamanand helped Rishabh get a job and why he interfers in his household affairs! (I am not justfying Rishabh in anyway, he is really a disgusting lowlife character)

Lolz...I liked the dream sequence between Aditya and Priya, only because Rakesh's expression's (till he got close to Riddhi) was very cute! I do agree that when such sequences come, it makes Aditya's character look a bit too childish and immature! His declarations of love to Priya can be attributed to the impulsiveness in his character, but imagining him dancing on a love ballad with Priya was taking it a bit too far! But as you said, these are the compulsions of television nowadays and as long as the main storyline is strong and dealt with seriously, these side-notes are enjoyed once in a while!

Cheers!

i loved your ananlysis and will be looking forward to it everyday... To begin with the episode was good.. I did like the adi-priya dream but i felt something was missing. Since you pointed out i agree it did seem out of place... Eventhough i still want romantic scenes between them and eagerly waiting for it😉

About Rishabh he is supposed to be the latest villan in the drama eventhough i liked the fact that he respects devyani. He is a terrific actor. The reason for him to hate SSP must be very strong... It could be that he knows his true colour but is unable to expose him..

The scene between Gaurav and his mom was nice. It shows that he is more concerned about his mom and knows his dad's reaction to what happened at the party. I still want to know why he doesnt get along with his dad. Is is because Gaurav doubts his father's character or is it something to do with his father's influence due to which he is not given a chance to stand on his feet and prove his worth?

Adi and his sister's talk was sweet. Truly speaking i wanted this scence of revealing priya's address a little later. I wanted Adi to struggle a little to find her and then get her address. Now since he knows where she lives i wont be surprised if the creatives get them married soon..

The reason why gaurav and adi did not interfere with Rishabh was i think due to their respect for their maasi. They share a sweet equation with their aunt. I know the show has just started and its too early to predict anything but even then I feel both of them are not like their father.. They see sensible and caring...

Devyani and Uttara's phone conversation shocked me. Also SSP blaming Devyani shows that their relationship is not what it seems to everyone...
