My two cents on the ongoing and upcoming tracks:
Bringing the Dhara pregnancy track now was a wrong move. Didn't the CVs sit down and discuss things with the actress beforehand? That put aside, my main concern is Shiny's skill as an actress at pulling it off.
Shiny is great with one time wonders, but not with consistently playing emotional scenes with sensitivity and subtlety. She tends to lose the nuances of emotions when variants of the same scene repeat.
The spotting scene had me in tears. But the longing for a child before the Yatra Kaand and the mood swings? She looked very OTT, slightly caricature-ish if I may say so... How is she going to pull off the nuances of an angry wife and a mother in pain after her confrontation scene with Gautam? I hope she's bothered to put in the required effort this time.
As for the Shivi track, it's too early for any track involving children for them unless the makers WANT their show shut down soon. Because that's what will happen if you spoil the only true love story to your show. This track, as i'd mentioned before, doesn't need to be Shivi centred at all.... All Shivi needs right now is good scenes like today, in the background of other main tracks.
Suman can make a baccha ka maang from wherever the hell she wants, but I don't think Raavi will agree. She might have forgiven Shiva easily, as is true to her nature, but I don't think she's forgotten things. She does keep mentioning the need for conversation between the two of them, doesn't she?
Also, unlike Kanwar's spoilers, I have full faith in Alice's spoilers. And Alice said that Raavi wasn't going to let Anita into the house. So I'm guessing that's what her focus is going to be on. If Shiva teams up with her, that would be a treat to watch, truly. Kaddu, though, seems to always have a basic idea of the tracks that are going to come. Might be because he's already done two shows with this PH, or because sasta nasha Chaubeys seem to like him quite a bit.
The last track showed us why Raavi is truly Somnath ki sabse acchi ladki. This track can show us her standing by the family, holding everyone together in her own innocent way, and Shiva's like slowly turning to love because of this. Suman making a baccha ka maang is another opportunity for Shiva to stand up for Raavi if that actually happens. But, it would be more than enough for me if he stood by her side with the whole Anita kaand i see coming...
Hoping for the best, yet still keeping expectations at patal lok level! 🤣
