Thank you for mentioning this. Iâm sick of the comparisons as well. Itâs quite obvious they are making their own version and may have been inspired by previous ones for the premise of the show, but what has followed since then is original. These characters are original.
Also, maybe Iâm a bit of a sadist but I donât mind the Adi-Malini scenes, theyâre needed for the story to progress. This is a slow burn romance and while we may know where it is headed, the journey and conflicts are important. The story would be nothing without them.
Aditya needs to face head on his crumbling relationship with Malini, needs to realize that it is far from perfect as heâs always thought of it. And then to realize heâs falling in love with Imlieâwow will that be some reckoning.
Malini too for her part needs to stop being a caricature of the perfect wife/daughter/daughter in law. From the trauma of her childhood and her parents constant fights sheâs become this cookie-cutter model of perfection, but she isnât. As the last episode proved, there are human shades in her, some shades that resemble her mother even. Which I donât think is bad. Her mother is OTT, but sheâs been badly traumatized as well. Itâs just that while Malini went to the extreme side of perfection and goodness, her mother drifted to the opposite side of the spectrum. Throw in some TRP need for drama, and her motherâs characterization makes sense.
As for AdiLie, Iâm loving the slow burn, the nuanced conversations and smiles. What a change from typical ITV. Hope the writers can keep this up.
I just finished binge watching the episodes after sindoor trp gimmickry, and itâs great to see this show rebound. Fingers crossed it remains that way. Have to say, your posts have been so refreshing to read. Love the positivity and honest analysis after every episode!
