I have already posted this reply in a previous thread, but just wanted to have a general discussion as to the old YHM we all adored so, so much! In contrast to the absolutely bizzare tracks running simultaneously these days!
Keeping everything aside, I just want to ask - WHY cant we have good old YHM back??? What's the deal with this entire story going haywire?
There are SO many unresolved issues going on at the same time.
For starters, Param has simply vanished. The guy who was dying to get a place back in the Bhalla house to plot against them, is nowhere seen. Granted, Anurag Sharma (Param) is busy with ADHY (aired on Life OK), but CVs should have taken care to wind up that bit ki itne din woh gaya kahan!
Second, Romi had been shown as a changed person the last two months or so. Suddenly, SARIKA ends up pregnant. No scenes whatever as to how they met chhup chhup ke, mile bhi hain ya nahin. And NOW, Romi does a complete U-turn and behaves like the a$% he always was. Back to Square One and ALL hopes of Romi Bhalla's redemption down the drain!
Third, Mani flies in from absolutely Nowhere at all and becomes a major pest, hovering around Ishita round-the-clock. Never do I see Mani working or Ishita working. Ishita is freer than ever to cancel a gazillion appointments with patients and hang around with Mani. No backstory whatsoever. The portrayal of their friendship - overdone, oversweet, forced making it look unreal. And for ONCE, Ishita doesnt rack her overused brains to understand why her husband is acting the way he is.
Fourth, Ashok is into a full-fledged planning mode of dumping Shagun and snaring Mihika instead. Shagun and Mihika are gradually blossoming in the friends zone, close enough to be besties soon. Shagun is blissfully unaware of what a creep Ashok is. And Mihika is ready to go the Ishita way to save Shagun's dignity and relationship. I am scared she will agree to get hitched with Ashok instead, to save Shagun's life. OR she will get trapped in her own plan and made to look like a loose woman, ready to sleep with her "jiju". And then she will lose Mihir, hear all sorts of shit from Shagun and then more drama that side.
Fifth, Bala is currently hiding something from Vandu. A past secret showing its after-effects now, or a "student"who became something more, or a slip on Bala's side which has landed him as a victim of blackmail..What the hell is it? The CVs have ignored that as well, and show us fleeting glimpses.
Sixth, Ruhi (the WHOLE POINT of YHM) is hardly seen, no mama-papa-Ruhi bonding scenes whatsoever. Didnt know children are deported to far-off places when there's high voltage drama going on inside the house.
Seventh, ADI has mysteriously vanished. Never seen with Shagun, Mihir, Raman - ANYBODY. Is everybody so caught up with internal drama they've forgotten to pay a visit to poor Adi?? Even if he is a remand home, why cant they show us the progress he is making as an adolescent.
SOOO many loose ends!! What the hell is going on? Does it have to become ghisa-pita like each one of Ekta's other soaps. I really think realism should be brought back in, and some of the drama toned down so that aleast, our heads dont spin the way they do!!
Kam se kam, Ruhi ko toh scenes mein laate hi rehna chahiye. When Ruhi was the reason IshRa came close in the first place, why not incorporate Ruhi as the factor that binds them now?? Now when they need it the most? A breakfast scene here and there doesnt justify her existence as a character in this show. The whole point gets defeated. Even drama should have some sense of logic, and here, EVERYTHING is spilling out of control.
I miss Ruhi's chanting of Ishima, Ishima and playing pranks on getting both her parents together. I miss Mrs. Iyer's and Toshi's silent battle of wits and 'beauty'...sooo badly miss Simmi and Ishita's nok-jhok as well. Mihir-Mihika's romantic moments, Romi-Sarika's newly developing relationship (with Romi as the changed guy), Ashok and Shagun trying their darndest best to put down RKB, and Rkb'S brilliant comebacks and retaliation at the same...Ishita and Raman fighting as a team, as a strongly bonded couple in stark contrast to Shashok's dwindling romance, Suraj-Shagun spats (he really shows her her place sometimes)...badly want to see Adi discovering his 'dad'Ashok's true colours and making pay for it by doing something silly and childish like pricking a pin on his a#%...Param's slyness and chalugiri even...
and most of all I miss Raman-Ishita verbal banter, Raman checking her out but trying to convince her she's a toad and isnt all that pretty ;), Ishita's chupke chupke wala pyaar for Raman (which is nowhere to be seen considering Mani the Shani doesnt give her the time and space to behave so)...Ishita's "kuch bhi", Raman's "pagal Madrasan"..and "Madrasan hai badi sweet", the marked changes in Raman's temperament, his blushing at doing something special for his Madrassan...(like the Karwa Chauth episode)..his being unable to HELP staring at her and yet, pretending he was looking at his phone or the newspaper or whatever...his lovely smiles that spread such sunshine!!
Want more of the SHITA-sewing-her-blouse-and-Raman-caught-stealing-glances-at-her"episodes, more of their raindances, more of the scenes where Raman can apply some more balm on her throat and well..., more of them being forced to sleep together (like once Raman had to), more of their intense staring "ankhon ankhon mein"...
Miss seeing Ishita grow as a character, and discover herself as a woman, a real woman who LIKES and secretly WANTS to be loved and touched by her husband..the man she is slowly falling in love with. Not this ridiculous Jagat-Mata image she is roaming around with!
Heck! Why am I ranting?? The CVs have dashed it all in the quest for newer, bigger drama! And some of it doesnt even MAKE sense!
