I binged and caught up around the time of the kidnapping track. What I was looking forward to the most after the wedding was Dev-Shiva’s conflict, Dev-Raavi’s awkwardness, the tension and intensity between ShiVi, Rishita’s lack of understanding about their childhood, etc... emotions that go beyond what they are showing now. Where each frame has one stopping to wonder what is truly going through each character’s mind. I expected more scenes between Dev-Raavi-Shiva but the writers clearly steered far away from there. Like I said before, erasing the Dev chapter in Raavi’s life almost made so many moments and emotions appear meaningless. It’s as if we are starting a completely new story. I just felt a huge disconnect there.
And aside from the Raavi factor, there is so much more than could have been explored between Dev & Shiva. Their very different personalities, Shiva constantly warning his brother before the wedding & Dev paying no heed, the consequences, the fact that Shiva is expected to behave a certain way but the rules change for Dev, etc... Sibling relationships are complex. YKB doesn’t even touch the tip of it.
Bang on! It's like I am watching a whole new different tacky show altogether!
