Acha, that's nice! Cool, then we can discuss a bit. The good part is we can start the show midway. Cos they complete a case in a few days!

Yup. We can definitely start the show midway. They do complete a case in just a few days... and we can definitely discuss that a bit.

Btw, watched the Gabba test match??

That's good to know about your preps.

😊

Accha, waah! 🤣Seems you like a few things and found some stuff bad, but why you think about me?!

Yeah. Actually KD reestablished my belief that no matter how crass a plot may seems, try giving it a chance, sometimes some show might have proper characters & the actors too can be really good.

I'll pakao you guys in the next post regarding the show because so far I am quite enjoying the complexity.

I think of you because first of all, you were quite pissed off regarding Ghum. 😆 😆 😆 And secondly, if you find Sai OTT, you would die of a heart attack when you'll see Emon. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Madhumita is really good with her expressions but her always screaming can give anyone an ear bleed.

Waise, if I see a glimpse of s9mk muze tumhari yaad aa jati hai🤣🤣, kabhi toh Twitter pe dikh jata hai.

🤗 🤣🤣 🤗

I saw a glimpse yesterday and I can safely say, there is only one, just one sensible, practical character in the show, who makes sense and that's Ramesh Bhau, the taxi driver! Earlier I did feel Rabia too is, but totally no!!

I tyagofied my mohmaya the second Rabiya started doing bakbak on how a baby will change Aliya's life. Specially coming from a doctor, it was pure BAKWAS.

So looks like Ramesh Bhau is a really good character. 😊

Weekend was hectic, lot of house work, other things! You tell!

And finally I started vidding, kuch bhi yaad nahi hai so I am figuring that out🤣

Cos it's been forever I did vidding.

That's cool! 😃 Best of luck! 👍🏼

I myself love Bhaymaar... he is my second most favourite villain, the first obviously being Timnasa.

Banda plans bahut sahi banata hai...

For Tim & BM 🤗 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🤗

Okay. See you when you're back. 🤗

Aa gaye hum bahen. 😎 Now I am going to pakao you guys with my rant on KD. 😈 😈 😈

So here I come with my BAKBAK on Kusum Dola - The original version of GHKPM

Let's start with the glaringly obvious fault of the show that pissed the crap out of me - that is the premise itself, Rono (ML) giving his words to Rupkotha that he'll never love another woman in his life.

This one promise & his continuous oscillation between Rup & Emon (FL) is what makes my blood boil.

Now coming to the good part -

I absolutely love the casting of the show. Be it Rishi Kaushik (Rono), Aparajita Ghosh Das (Rup) or Madhumita (Emon) - the actors actually seems like custom made. All three of them had done enough work specially Rishi & Aparajita are seasoned actors & it really looked good on the screen. I personally have become a fan of Aparajita. Even when she is the third angle, I have literally cried on particular scenes because the actress was brilliant in portraying her emotions.

Secondly, in front of them, Madhumita actually looks a lot younger (which she is). So in certain episodes when Rono or Rup lashed out at Emon saying she was still young & immature, it didn't look odd.

Now the overall characteristics. I am absolutely loving it that not just the three protagonists but even the some of the supporting characters are grey. Primary example - Rono's mother, Badsha (Samrat of Ghum) & Rono's cousin cum best friend Anirban. They are very rational & play a huge part in driving the narration ahead.

Coming to Rono, one thing I love about him is that he is not another Sanskari Kumar. He grew up watching his parents always fight & he himself is quiet introvert & moody. On several occasions when he loses his cool on Emon, it doesn't look like or at least to me that he has taken a 180 degree flip or his Sanskar is only reserved for his family members. He stands by Emon when she is right but also makes it clear to her that even though her intentions are good, very often she gets hyper & it wouldn't be the end of the world if she tried to make good relation with his family members too. Unnecessary fight wasn't essential even if they struck a deal that he'll divorce her when she'll establish her career.

Secondly, his sympathy. Very often we are treated with scenes like when the leads look at each other & realize how good looking they are. Even here they showed it. But I liked his monologue because he felt pity for a mere 18 years old girl who just lost her father, got married to him & then she had to wear saree & jewelry, as if in one day the little girl had to become mature because of society. And that's the first time he acknowledged the girl was indeed pretty & felt embarrassed for looking at her that way.

Thirdly, he is very human. At points he lashed out, said stuff for which any mainstream ML would be severely bashed, rightfully so but the next moment he would apologize stating the real reason that he felt jealous or his male ego was hurt & he would try not to repeat it.

He actually confessed to Rup that it was a mistake when he gave her his words because he never thought he would have to get married under such circumstances. It was one thing not to think about anyone but having a wife & sharing their lives, certain amount of attachment was formed & he couldn't help it.

Coming to Rupkotha, this is a character I feel the most sorry for. But at the same time there is fundamental flaw there. Even if Rono backed out saying he couldn't marry her, she never should have got married to his brother. Specially when her own parents constantly tried to put some sense into her head that they were in love & Rono might believe he would keep his word but ultimately he would move on. At that point only she will suffer. She is a vamp but in a dignified way. Her poise or the way she instigated the leads it was awesome.

My only regret is even when Rono made it clear to her that he fell in love with Emon, she still kind of hang on to him which made me both annoyed and sympathetic towards her.

But despite her so many flaws when she accused Rono of not knowing himself properly & ruining her life - I could feel her pain. That scene where Badsha put sindoor on her forehead & she broke down - I actually cried.

Lastly to Emon, no matter how problematic the premise is, give me one such FL & I'll watch your show. Yes she had to have some essential FL like qualities like helping others and caring for the family members but the way she shut everyone up - it's mind blowing.

I absolutely loved the scene where he told Rono that he was the one who insulted her the most. Even if they got married for a few years, telling your wife that you are committed to another woman & then living with the same person in the same house - that's the worst type of insult a girl can face.

Her outbursts that Rono never should have given her father a false word when he had other responsibilities was mind blowing.

In fact in one episode she confronted him saying personally she admired Rup because she didn't feign anything. She expressed whatever she felt unlike him who couldn't decide whom did she love and where did his loyalty belong.

Her constant flipping as in one hand she didn't want to indulge with Rono but also feeling extremely annoyed that Rono & Rup were always very open & Rono made their deal clear to Rup, her sense of honor & also her vulnerability - these things made me like her a lot.

And she is OTT in a lot of ways. At points she did worsen the matters even when Rono clearly told her he loved her - it kind of went with her character because after all she was really young to understand everything.

All I can say is, the flaws of all three characters fascinated me. But I really wish they had ended the show with the confession episode. With another 400 episodes, they only repeated the same story.

On a side note, there's a musical episode. It's actually the Fresher's Reception at Emon's college & she performs there. I don't think the actress is a trained dancer & hence I loved the choreography. They actually focused on the dancing of the other characters & when it came to Emon, they largely focused on her expression. So kudos to the makers/choreographers.

The trick Emon played on Rono's elders to make them attend her function - it was childish but I laughed like a lunatic the entire episode seeing their reaction.

For Tim & BM 🤗 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🤗

My sentiments exactly...

True!

No dear, I was following updates once in a while. What about you?!

Cos it's been forever I did vidding.

That's cool! 😃 Best of luck! 👍🏼

Acha!! I am glad then you remembered me.

I always say, however messy a show is, they will have some good tracks and characters.

You know that way, Anokhi show also can be quite good cos few characters seem interesting. Written well. Plus Debamitta is very good in acting too.

I don't intend to see, just an example!

Yeah, tumhari yaad!! 🤣🤣

Omg you too felt, hi5! Totally crap it was!! Instead of giving a reality check, pros and cons kuch bhi. It's the same as saying post marriage your life will totally change, like in both cases life changes but you get the point. The total change.

Plus there are pros and cons, like mdkd what I liked is all friends gave reality check to others, not like fanning some nonsense. Even d3 had that.

Ye toh pura pagal pan tha. Oh Ramesh Bhau is an exception, he always gives reality checks to Sarang. Even Kavya on bits I saw was quite sensible!

Thank you!

I have posted mine. It's just on top of your comment. Now you can reply & pakao me with today's episode. 😎

Okay. Will read and reply a little later... abhi I'm feeling a bit sleepy. 🤭

What is Gabba BTW? 🤓

The Gabba is the common name for the Brisbane Cricket Ground.
