So I feel the need to make this thread cuz there was a lot to take in during the course of this week...well, the first four epis atleast...might as well write off the one from today😆
But in particular, I was struck by the thought that the writers and SC managed to achieve something truly unique this time...they already have a well established and immensely loved character with her own funky language and mannerisms i.e. Anika...and they STILL managed to...in merely FOUR episodes, craft a whole new persona with her own funky language and mannerisms to boot in the form of Kumari Rosie Rani...that is no small feat.
This track clearly has parallels to the ML track where Anika took on the persona of Kumari Kalavati Thakur...but there are significant differences too.
1) KKT was never about an extreme wardrobe and mannerisms change...she was simply Anika being flaky and difficult...while KRR is a whole another level of persona with detailing in catchphrases, an outrageous look...that choti in particular...a risky move that could have fallen flat...but SC has aced this whole persona and managed to sell such an insane look too...kudos once again.
2) KKT had her NAAGIN dance😆 while KRR got her Sweety tera Drama and that random promotional vid, or whatever that was😆

v/s
3) KKT never amounted to more than denying the usual Anika catchphrases like raita phail gaya, khidkitod etc...while KRR REVELS in having added a whole new set of catchphrases to her dictionary...and I was really struck by the fact that a specific accent from a specific region alone doesn't make a character hit...it's how the actor in question delivers it...and SC has taken the hybrid Bhojpuri/English to a whole another level of epicness...lol
v/s
4) The KKT/ML track in itself wandered aimlessly all over the place...lol for a few days, Anika held on to the KKT persona, then that randomly faded away in the farak padta hai etc. drama...while this KRR track so far has a more cohesive upfront plan in terms of defining her getup and persona and how it ties into the story
5) The KKT track happened at a time when Shivika were still finding their way towards defining their relationship and accepting their feelings...now they are a solid unit working together...one has to marvel at what a long way they've come...Shivaay still struggles with sharing things with her cuz he wants to protect her/handle things on his own but this is the same guy who now is entrusting that equal responsibility on her in taking this on, relying on her all the way even as he worries about her safety...that's progress.
Who knows where this track will go next week and how long the getup will continue but as of now it's deffo brought a distinct flavor to the show since KRR basically effortlessly owns any scene she gets😆😆...and the first four epis of the week were a great balance in terms of balancing her OTT antics as well as the emotional family bonding moments with the Obros.
