I was watching the episode and thinking when I had an epiphanic moment. I mean, I had started watching mhrw for the humour and then got interested in the storyline and the character potrayal and then fell in love with RaghVi.
(Well, might as well confess, Raghav more than Pallavi.. ah haan haa.. wait a minute before judging.. it is not because I am woman.. I mean I have seen men who look twenty times better than Sai.. but mostly because I relate to him more than I understand Pallavi..)
Then as usual I started dissecting everything and analyzing them, characters, scenes, performances, costumes, lighting... bloody everything ( I have a fetish). And I was ecstatic at times, disappointed most of the times 🤣
There is no guarantee that there will be any consistency. So.. no logic, no character development, no growth, no reason, no nothing...
Show will start with a humongous amount of potential and then go downhill from the first hundred episodes routinely brushing sensitive issues under the carpet and ridiculing taboo topics.
The FL is sarvagun sampann.. she will be ferociously protective of her loved ones (will turn a blind eye to their numerous faults and will allow them to stomp all over her) and will be an absolute firecracker in front of the ML (which I love ❤, tbh, no issues there). Special mention for Pallavi because she stood up against the D fam.. once (a huge count for any ITV show.. claps 👏 truly). But the plus point is the FLs retain their characteristics throughout.. (pretty good job!)
The ML will be completely different from the stereotypical ITV ML's with an interesting (must be tragic) back story and deliciously layered. A lot of work is done on the MLs I have observed. Maybe a bias somewhere. Unique attributes, likable qualities and thousand and one faults which will send him into lengthy and rigorous redemption tracks (usually getting enlightened by the FL.. he is the rehabilitation project.. come on! 🤣). Lots of alcohol mostly is used in the equation somewhere.... (drinking is injurious to.... health?). All is well till one day the ML flips.. major character inconsistency and ruins his own relationship. 😑😑😑
The side characters mostly add comic relief. And are used for physical abuse (did you count the no of slaps being thrown around..?) Poor Sai 🤣.. I don't think he must have known his cheeks were going to be used as a percussion instrument.. (I mean RR is a gangster right? He throws punches around.. who would hit him..? Illusion much..?)
Then comes the chemistry 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤
No complaints there..
[how does this ph create such fantabulous chemistry every single time man.. its unfair given how perfectly he ruins every romantic track ever..]
The tracks lose their suspense, the dialogues become cringeworthy, meaningful conversations are avoided at all costs and every other villanous character is forgiven without any reckoning or redemption (except the ML.. cue crying men are hot!) The Ex-es have pretty good character graphs and potrayal and then suddenly they are turned negative (coz.. hey! the lead pair guys... they are meant to be.. how can someone else become the bigger person and step back? Not possible.. nah ah!)
And then suddenly today I remembered hey, Anushkha.. be cool babes... this is a f**king ITV show. That also from a producer who managed to sink my favorite ship so hard that the Titanic had to hide its face in shame 🙄🙄🙄(& that was supposed to be his dream project...)
Then suddenly I am like WHY THE BLOODY HELL AM I SO INVESTED IN THIS SHOW!!!!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
PS:- No offence please... to anyone(specially not the actors! They are great performers..respect their diligence).. it was a fun post..
