Saw the episode Lakshmi..
My review from vyas thread...
The good parts of the episode..
Raman/Gulabo and KP owning the act - showing his pain of a father and a man still madly in love with his family and wife - even though they all seem to have forgotten he exists..
Despite the heacy make up and props and the fake female voice - its amazing , the kind of emotional depth KP was able to give Gulabo - a truly awesome actor this one..
The ishita - Gulabo convo had a lot of goodies..(I have very low hope on how cvs will choose to address the points that came up in this interview ...but I will take one episode at a time ..for now I am glad a lot was at least 'spoken')
So Gulabo mentioned that his ability to love with his everything and giving all of him/her was his biggest strength and weakness - he can go to any extent for his loved ones , but that at times backfires too..- brilliant take on the character of Raman and how he alsways has been for the people he loves most...
Ishita was able to sense something akin of a 'connection' with Gulabo - more with what she told her about her choices and herself - clearly cvs intended to show ishita immediately thought of Raman - subtle hints but hope we see more of this later..
Raman/Gulabo stating what she thought a parent should be like - as a parent myself I loved most of the lines spoken here...- children should be given the right mix of freedom and control
Raman/Gulabo insisting that both parents love was essential for a healthy environment for the child - she kept emphasizing on the husband and wife being important to the childs growth - superb - I hope this is explored later too...I couldnt understand Ishitas expressions here - she seemed to ignore the mention of the hisband/father of pihu...
And then Raman/Gulabo statiing that one ends u hurting those that we love the most too - and ishita talking about how deeep her hurt was that a sorry may not be enough - and raman acknowledging it...(I have my reservations with this - since clearly ishita isnt yet able to see Ramans pain - but in the context iy was finr)
And finally 'pihu ke liye ' and Raman /Gulabo saying he will never leave Ishita...so looks like symbolism for the uppcoming track 😛
The rejection scene - ouch - verey very painful to see ones own family being oblivious to your existence and appparently 'happy' too🥱
Whats was again nonsensical and stupid...
Ishita trusting Shaguns choice blindly after grilling Gulabo for so long...she didnt even care interview the other nanny - so much blind trsut on shhagun???...wow..and pihu also was happy that shagun mummas choice was selected...pukeworthy..
Adi saying he will fund ruhis education from his savings😲..so raman is really and truly dead to the kids looks like - Adi even thinks aliya is like ishima and ruhi wants to support ishima...not a mention of the father ...it looks ridiculous - My MIL who watched with me today was like whats wrong with this boy - isnt he still working in his dads company or did he quit 😆..why is he talking like his mother is the only earning member and he is salaried employee with small savings which he is giving up for his sister😆
cvs really think their audiences are dumb😕
precap is more pain - Raman is broken and he will again be insulted at the school I guess..
But todays convo was decent and has given me tiny hope that Gulabo may help ishita see reason too while acknowledging that he has made mistakes - also I hope Gulabo shows ishita how hwe dependency on outsiders is hurting her family and her relationship with her spouse...and that how kids are affected when dragged into elders quarrels and how both parents are needed for a childs overall health and well being..
Then this track can actually be worth a wait 😛
