Most of us are unhappy and frustrated after today's episode. I was too but I rewatched the ShivIka scenes and it wasn't so bad. The tea scene was cute and a parallel to that scene where Annika drank SairaBano. Shivaay's expression when Annika was pouring the tea in the saucer made me laugh. Him rolling his sleeves to drink the tea as if he was preparing for a war was hilarious. His 'meri biwi' dialogue and his anger was SSO but he had to control himself for the sake of the challenge. Shivaay and Annika trying to protect each other was cute. Shivaay's happiness at coming home with Annika was adorable. Overall I liked today's scenes.
Having said that, I will also say something is missing. The scenes lacked intensity. This track may have been for Annika to see that she is no less than a NKK girl as some ShivIkians are saying but that didn't come across. The execution was poor. I know Lalit Mohan wasn't there and I can see the difference in scenes. Several moments that could have been made to be tender moments between them fell flat because of the poor direction. LM understands ShivIka best and this new director killed the essence of this chawl sequence. This track had so much potential but the poor direction made a mess of it.
The other problem with the last 2 episodes has been editing. It has been, pardon my words, piss poor. The cutting and scattering scenes over the whole episode is killing the flow and reducing the impact of scenes. I know why they are doing it and I really hope that it fails. I liked the arrangement of last Friday's epi much better.
My main problem is that ShivIka are not looking and acting like a couple that have been through a painful 3 months separation. It was traumatic and they haven't talked about it. They both apologized in the gazebo scene and I am fine with that. They don't need to say sorry anymore but they do need to talk about what they went theough. Surely it can't be that easy to move past it? They are acting like a couple who have been together for a long time. It's like they skipped a phase and that's causing the disconnect.
People have been saying that they saw NaRbhi in ShivIka today and I agree. I saw some shades of them in between today. Shivaay was flipping betweenbeing Shivaay/billuji/NM. I saw SC in Annika as well to some extent. The problem could be the script and direction. A major event happened in ShivIka's lives last week and right after that a filler track started. This I think is giving some problems to NaRbhi with how to portray their characters. They have to be told in the script how their characters have to act right? I think they are not getting those directions in the script and that's why we are ending up seeing them in some parts of the episode. Once a proper track starts and NaRbhi have something with substance to act on I think we will get more of an idea as to how to portray their characters.
For whatever reason they have decided to drag the shaadi until the last 2 weeks of September and that means we will get more filler tracks. I also don't think that CVs have decided on where to go with ShivIka after their marriage and are dragging the marriage to give themselves time. We know that drama will start once shaadi starts and as soon as SC comes back from her well deserved vacation they might start the shaadi track. So let's brace ourselves for this week and next week guys. We have been through the crappy separation track so we'll be fine
On a positive note, how gorgeous did SC look in that green saree from the BTS pics today? She finally got good clothes from Shivani Shirali. They will probably show that function this Friday or next week Monday so we have something to look forward to...
That turned out into a very long post and I don't know if it makes sense but I wrote what came to my mind. Chamelis and Chandnis are welcomeđ
