Now having watched the episode (🤪), I don't take back my accusations of WTF-ery aimed at the writers. At one point, I noticed the set they used for the "hotel" was the old, OG Singhania house (or very similar at least), and that was like a manifestation of the whole sorry situation we're in now, that reminder of then and now. At that point I literally sighed out loud and was like, kya tha yeh show aur ab kya hogaya hai. Kya kabada bana diya iss story ka
A few things:
- the Fauxrishta (thus named since he's basically a poser with no actual powers) said that the shraap was until anantkaal but that he couldn't reverse it, not that no one could reverse it. I'm still 70-30 on them going into a tragic ending for VAni by killing them off and punar janam-ing them, BUT if anyone can reverse the shraap, it is our own, dear captain of the VAni ship, Bholenaath himself. He's brought Veer back to life like 700 times at this point and even given Bani a darshan to give his in-person blessings, ab itna kuch kardiya hain, toh yeh bhi karlijiye please? Esp since the real Veer was in there, and there were bouts of him being himself in between the amnesia.
- I sort of, kind of, maaaaaaaaaybe 'get' the kernel of what they're going for here. Don't maaro jhootiyan, the execution is awful. But if the original elevator pitch of this track in the writers' room was "Prove that Bani and Veer's love is eternal, despite the naagin-cheel thing", then I guess we're getting that. I'd rather have got that without turning Rambo Bani into Rondhu Bani and Sanki Singhania into Ghajini Singhania, but *shrugs at this whole mess*
- Can ITV please, please please stop with the stupid trope of almost getting their MLs raped while under intoxication/drugs? Or have them "make a mistake" under such influences? It's gross and unnecessary, and the fact that they do it to men and not women does not make it more palatable. Thank goodness Cheelu saved himself, and didn't have Bani come in to rip the girl away from her patidev herself. This is the problem with ITV they use this same old trope. Waise toh I'm against both the tropes. Both the male or the female lead being under intoxication and being bothered by someone else. You don't have to do that to show they're loyal to their other half. No thank you. There are several other ways to show a couple loyal to each other.
- Jai is the worst, but Daksh and Ponky need to die first for what they just did to their brother. And PAINFULLY, please. We were all guessing this early on that Daksh might turn negative. So I'm not much surprised. It was either Daksh or Tapish so they took Daksh instead of Tapish.
- Bani saying "you love me" to Veer in the bedroom scene hits on another level 😭😳 but when will she say "I love you"? Tick tock, Mukta, maybe before they're both killed in a solar flare accident?
- I know we're annoyed bc Veer isn't taking a moment to stop and think about whether Bani is telling the truth (911? I'd like to report a death. The death of logiccccccccc) but today's ep at least showed that he is so overwhelmed by Bani's presence - which sometimes manifests in physical pain - that it doesn't leave him much room for thinking it through. He's just lurching from one interaction with Bani which pains him, into another. Sharuu baby, I feel for you - what a couple of weeks!
- Like I said, I'm leaning towards a tragic ending for VAni at this point - "nishaani", punar janam, whatever else IDK, but I feel like they might resolve the "naagin and cheel falling in love is against nature" thing by killing them both off 😕? Ughhhhh.
- the whole "someone has brought about mrityulog" definitely points to VAni dying on Mars or wherever they're meant to be.
- Yet again I blame SharBhi for forcing me to watch this nonsense. Even despite the stupidity of the track and some uber cringe dialogues, their chemistry during the dance and bedroom scenes was fully charged and potent as always. Damn them. Although I'd actually like to request the makers don't play Dil Ibaadat on them anymore, at least until they're both back to themselves. It feels like every time they play it (or Tere Sang) over this bhool bhulaiya version of them, it cheapens it a little more. As Veer would say (if he remembered anything, sobs), poori feeling hi maar deta hai.
