More emotional scenes please!

Okay, I've had a long day and I'm typing this from the top of my head, so please forgive me for any typos. I'm also including several examples to help me make my point and so please forgive me if I get anything wrong. Now let's get into this.

Episode 61 and 62 were two very impactful episodes that gave us beautiful scenes of PurVir and their kids. Evidently Episode 61 was about Vir's promise to his kids and to Purvi to attend their annual function and how he kept that promise, despite getting bashed up by goons. So I think I won't be wrong in saying that the key takeaway from the episode is that 'promises when made must be kept'.

I wholeheartedly agree with that. Promises should be kept. And it would've been awesome if the show makers had also kept their promise.

So what is this promise I'm talking about? I think I can explain better with a few examples. (There might be spoilers here, so please read at your discretion) In Mirzapur S1, when Munna killed Bablu, the makers made us an unsaid promise that Guddu will avenge his brother in the next season by killing Munna. Or let's just take the most simplistic example. Every movie promises us that the hero will defeat the villain. This promise that is made to us by the makers gives us immense satisfaction when that happens. Now let's take an example of an incident where this promise was not kept. The last season of Game of Thrones was heavily criticized by its fans for various creative choices. One of them was the decision of the show runners to have Arya Stark kill the Night King instead of Jon Snow, just so it comes to us as a surprise. Well, the fans of the show will tell you that the surprise wasn't very pleasant. That's because the show had promised us an epic, final confrontation between the NK and Jon Snow through several scenes since the very first season, and viewers were expecting Jon to be the one to kill him as he was destined for it. Some would say, he was born for that very purpose. Now, at no point was this explicitly stated but we knew in our subconscious that this promise was made. And we were left dissatisfied and unhappy when this promise wasn't kept.

So, let's take the 'Vir getting bashed up by the goons scene' in this light. Ever since the precap was released on the 5th Feb, we all were expecting an emotional scene of Purvi on seeing a hurt Vir. So the scene, and the extent of violence depicted in it made us an unsaid promise. That Purvi will react very emotionally when she'll find out about the attack, that we'll find out how much Vir's pain affects her. But the show makers didn't keep that promise and I am dissatisfied.

Now you may say, 'Arya, what's the big deal? So we didn't get a huge emotional scene but there was that 'trippling on the scooter scene' where Purvi was clearly distressed.'

But that scene was too small when you compare it with the attack. I think I won't be wrong to say that some of us were more impacted by that scene than how much Purvi was shown to be affected.

And that brings me to my second point. We need Emotional Connection!

Now I would freely admit that one of the biggest USP of this show is it's pacing. The story moves very fast but now I'm thinking, maybe it's moving too fast? Now I'm not complaining about the pace, really I'm not. I'm quite happy to see the tracks like the Dulhan exchange program getting wrapped up in a day. But please makers, just slow down when it comes to emotional scenes.

The reason I ask this is because we, viewers need the emotional connection. The fact of the matter is that the incidents that will take place in PurVir's life and the drama that will be created, we won't experience even one percent of that in our real lives. So it becomes quite difficult to relate with these characters already. The only way we can connect to these characters is through the emotions they feel, which are universal. We have all experienced that pain, that helplessness when a loved one was hurt. And if we are cheated out of these moments, it can get frustrating. The scene of Purvi finding about Vir's injury lasted a minute and was clearly not long enough.

Now it has been pointed out to me that there are several factors that affect an episode. There are time constraints and editing and all these other things. I agree. But let's consider what the time that could have been given to an extended scene of Purvi dealing with an unconscious Vir who has gone through a terrible ordeal, and all the emotions that come with it was rather spent on. Vaipri and some random kids performing skits. These scenes didn't create any positive tension or suspense. Instead, there was impatience in us to get to PurVir, as if these scenes were just ad breaks. We wanted to know what was going on with them because of the extent of beating that Vir endured and how Purvi was dealing with that situation. (Also Vir being knocked unconscious and then him coming to the function just defies logic. But ITV doesn't really care about logic and I wonder how long will we just accept this argument. Just because something has been happening in the world for a long time, doesn't make it right. But this conversation is better left for some other time) What my point is that with all due respect to the different actors essaying all the secondary roles, we are here to watch Purvi and Virendra's story. And while I understand the importance of secondary tracks, these tracks must be there to bring change or growth in the dynamic between PurVir because ultimately their dynamic is the most important one. So sacrificing a scene that could've given us a lot of insight into Purvi and her feelings for Vir for the benefit of secondary tracks is just baffling to me.

Lastly, I'd like to say that it is my earnest hope that this great strength of the show i. e. it's pace doesn't become it's weakness Instead.

Ciao,

Yess I am disappointed in that too ..wonderful writing ✍️

Hello arya 🤗 ❤❤❤

Pata hai mai tumhari post ka wait kar rahi thi😆

I am typing late I just slept for straight three hours and just woke up in the middle of an episode 😆😆🤣 when everyone was watching except me but somehow I watched the full episode

Ok

Your point I get it and i partially agree

Well I will not blame you, we all wanted to see restless purvi for vir we all wanted that emotional scene but we didn't get or we did get it but it was not satisfying may be a little monologue would also work but I think it was not about that thing at all this whole track was never about purvi being emotional or restless they never build up this way either

For example remember the gun shot track if I remember correctly at that time you were not a regular watcher so might be there is a chance that you missed the gunshot promo correct me if I wrong ok

Now the build up of gunshot track was big there was a whole a** promo for it where we can see purvi getting shot the track itself started from painting burning scene the purpose of that track was to show vir in restless state and they did and amar was excellent btw😳

Now let's talk about the present one the whole track started with Annual function thing in the sui dhaga scene she talked about it in land auction scene she talked about it vir himself practiced with kids my point is vir pitaye was never a huge deal it was always about vir and purvi as parents and what's the current situation of purvi in the society is she is molkki or mother or wife and Virendra defending her honour etc etc

Now you will say all things are fine but can't they give us a single monologue of her being worried about vir anything it will not take too much time or even if it take it what's the big deal they can drag the scene to the next episode it's not like they have limited episodes or anything

Well sometimes only thing you can do is to respect the decision of writers and director its very rare when they get creative freedom if they want to show the whole thing and also resolve the crises in single episode let them do this it's fine

It doesn't mean we will not going to get any purvi restless and emotional scenes

We already have glimpse of what restless purvi will look like I mean she literally kidnap the kids and was ready to shoot vir😆🤣

when time is right we will definitely get those scenes

Trust me the promo the build up every thing will be worth it

Until we can only wait

Despite of annual function cringe well today's was really wholesome and one of my favorite too😃

I do think the emotional connection is missing between PurVir (and scenes)

Its all well and good giving PurVir scenes/close scenes, button scene, banter scene, shawl scene, dance and mehndi scene etc... but there isn't much of a emotional connection.... (my viewing is not regular like it use to be)

I feel more of a emotional connection with Purvi and the kids... esp Purvi/Manas.

When you say that the point of the track was to establish them as good parents, then I'm ready to relent a bit. Maybe I was reading into the assault on Vir as a big deal and therefore my reaction to that scene is like kisi ne mujhe ek half baked cake khila diya.

I think my issue is that ki starting wale promos mein the question that was stressed upon was if PurVir's ajeeb sa rishta will ever turn into a loving relationship. So if that's the crux of the story then this should be reflected in every track. Issi liye I wanted a more emotional scene. I didn't get it and there'll surely be more of those scenes to come, as you say. So we'll wait for those scenes ❤❤

Damn these new emoticons why they are so ugly

@bold even if the emotional scenes are not consistent in every track atleast there bond and trust getting stronger by each passing day this time vir was like are mujhe pata hai tu bina karan kuch nai bolti something like that when purvi telling him about vai and he was like pehle kyu nai bataya bawari 🤣🤣(Itna pit gaya bechara for no reason)

But yes even I am waiting for there emotional scenes 👍👍👍

Yes, yes! I totally agree with the points you raise and perhaps, in the back of my mind, I have been thinking the same thing.

Right now PurVir moments are just that, moments. And what's sad is ki they feel like disconnected moments. And this will be more apparent if one watches all those episodes at a stretch.

Now I love a slow burn like the next person. But a slow burn should be like a slow building of heat. The temperature has to increase as we go on, until everything is ablaze.

PurVir have amazing chemistry but right now it feels like the chemistry of two people who have long been in love. I get this strong vibe of them being comfortable with each other and no doubt that's awesome but I think we some how have skipped the budding attraction, the awkwardness that initial stages of romance has.. where one obsesses about accidental touches.

And the lack of monologues is maddening.

Also, I know this is probably an unpopular opinion but I miss the Vir who was in love with Sakshi.. They made such a big deal about his love for that woman and then it's like poof, who is Sakshi? This way, his characterisation suffers 😭😭

Ah but dekhte hai aage kya hota hain.

Yes they are. The only one I can tolerate is the heart ❤

Pata nahi yaar, shayad main samjha nahin paa rahi hun thik se. Or I'm just overreacting. But I think I'm the victim of my own imagination. I think I am fed up with this sort of sukoon in their lives. Mujhe thodi misunderstanding chahiye ab 😂😂😂
