Random Musings: February 3, 2011

Ughhh...I hate this...I wrote so much and lost everything...damn it IF! 😡 😡

Here I go again...

Priya - Aditya - Jhaakar family:

Episode started with Aditya finding a dazed Priya outside the Jhaakar house. As a relieved Aditya hugged Priya and inquired what the matter was, they were seen by SasurPig who hastily ushered them inside. Upon Devyani's persistent questioning and as predicted by Mony, Priya implied that seeing a police uniform upstairs reminded her about her her past. Before she could elaborate more, Gaurav wondered what her past was but got interrupted by Brahma who pontificated that Priya had a phobia of the police! 😲 😆 I loved this sequence...both screenplay and execution. Priya's excuse was believable from Aditya's standpoint but would not have been so from Devyani's view but for Brahma's opinions. Having Brahma offer reassurance that Priya's behavior was normal was a nice touch. But...the person who would have seen through SasurPig's behavior or at least found it mildly suspicious was not in this scene. Where was Babuji? Considering how front and center he was in yesterday's episode, his absence today was glaringly obvious. While everybody's acting was awesome as always, RaQesh in particular hit the opening sequence out of the ball park! 👏 Watch Vishwajeet emote Brahma's fear...😆...awesome!

Devyani - Brahma:

As the family dispersed with Aditya taking Priya to their bedroom, Devyani expressed her amazement to Brahma that he was able to understand Priya's mindset so well. This very brief conversation was the scene of the day for me. True verbal/psychological abuse in reality is generally not visible in obvious ways..its subtle and often missed. This conversation reflected that. Psychological abusers typically blame others, especially the victim, for everything they perceive as wrong in their life. Not only do such people never cease to keep reminding the victim of their faults, they also indicate how the victim can "correct" their mistakes and gain the abusers approval. In today's scene Brahma grudgingly accepted Devyani's admiration but immediately continued to make digs about Priya. He also made sure that Devyani knew the only way to fix the situation was to "manage" Priya. 👍🏼 Loved the scene...both execution and screenplay!

Vidya - Imli:

In the kitchen, Imli was back to her uni-dimensional self offering unsolicited opinions about Priya to Vidya. This conversation felt repetitive and was a mixed bag for me. Why is Imli such a signpost type character with no depth? 😳 Why is she so consistently negative about Priya? By repeatedly having Imli in scenes such as this, a potential fun and light hearted character is reduced to a caricature of domestic help in central India. I did however like that Vidya asked Imli to not speak initially and also expressed her own views about Priya firmly.

Aditya - Priya:

Back in their bedroom, Priya asked Aditya if he was angry but he expressed his disappointment that she did not think or try to share her feelings with him. Accepting her mistake Priya started to explain but Aditya cut her short and praised his father for understanding her mindset instead. While Aditya's understanding of Priya at the outset was well done, I hated that the screenplay had him focus on Brahma at all...convenient much writers? 👎🏼 Given how single minded Aditya is about Priya, having him talk about anybody else in such a situation, even if it was the father he admires so much, was out of character. There was no need to accentuate Priya's dilemma by throwing in that bit in the screenplay. 🤔 The fact that Priya returned to the house and did not directly launch in to an attack on Brahma already showed her confusion.

Rishabh - Uttara:

Meanwhile, Uttara clearly let Rishabh know that she would not do what he was expecting of her. Even as Rishabh threatened to take his own life, Uttara called his bluff and responded that he was not weak enough to do that. This was a good scene...wonderfully acted...but...it felt misplaced and forced in today's episode. The transition from the previous scene to this very important confrontation seemed rather abrupt and threw the tempo off for me. Rather than just jump straight in to Uttara's dialogs, there needed to be a good build-up to it in today's episode. Maybe this scene could have started with Uttara walking in to the house or driving to it. That said, the dialogs were well written and reflected slimy Rishabh at his selfish and self-centered best! Even Uttara's invoking of Tara and how she would feel had no effect on Rishabh. Both Kamya and Amit were outstanding in this scene. ⭐️ 👍🏼

Devyani - Priya:

As Devyani came to get Priya, she reminded her about her promise to leave her past behind. I liked how the writers had Devyani also use the opportunity to "fix" the issue to Brahma's liking by pointing out the impact of Priya's actions on the family...especially Brahma's respectability! From a screenplay detailing & execution standpoint, it was a nice touch to show Aditya comfortingly holding Priya at the start of the scene.

Jhaakar Family Meal:

While the screenplay of this sequence was alright, the execution did not work for me. Why was it suddenly in the dining room and not where it was set up in yesterday's episode? Also...where was Babuji?

Overall: Good episode. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️from me today!

Congratulation's To maryadaian's and maryada team for completing 80 episodes.

Great start of today's episode, i'm so glad priya came back home😃 and adi saw her first, and the passionate hug from adi's side was too good. She was about to tell the truth to him but that brahma😡, he always have to poke his bloody nose, ruined the great moment.

Priya entered the house, and adi held her hand throughout😍. And how sweet of him to not ask any question's to her, and stopping his mum too, HE IS A GREAT HUSBAND(wish my future guy is like his character)😍. And Priya's excuse for running away was great, firslty i thought she'll tell the truth, but she didn't WOHOOOOOO😃, or else brahma would be have faked a heart attack😆. I liked gaurav's role in the whole story, when he was asking priya and all, he will be a great Brother-in-law(hope so).

Imli should be kicked out, why does she always have a conspiracy against priya, pati parhaing bholi bhali vidya. Thanks to devyani, she came at the right moment.

The room scene of AdiYa, haila HOW SWEET ADI CAN BE??!!😃😃😃 And poor priya, she is so torn apart to see that adi loves his dad so much, and my adi was so right that priya should share her problems with, the scene was cute, and the hug was so sweet☺️.

Rishab is such a dirty guy, uff.... Why didn't he kill himself instead, he bloody sold his wife to a stranger, and the worst is that they have a daughter, what would rishab have gone through if someone sold his daughter like this, and uttara aka kamya is doing a fantastic job, in each and every episode she is giving her best, perfect expression's and dialogue delivery.👏⭐️
⭐️
Maa and priya scene was just fine not very good, and priya be strong you have to face brahma now, And after she gave food to dad, the smile she gave to adi, she looked stunning in the frame, For the first time brahma encouraged someone😆😆. must have been hard to do that🤣

Precap is interesting. She will definitely take that gift from him.

Overall today's episode was very good, 5/5 for me.( because of two hugs 😆)

Great episode as usual 😊
