Not sure if it was a good idea or not. Anyway, I watched it long time ago but it has only added my stress thinking about it at the moment 🤣🤣
Kusum Dola is a beautiful story of two people who married under unfortunate circumstances, fall in love madly over time but still face issues in their marriage because of their inability to understand each other. Later, I saw the synopsis of the show and it says the same. ‘.... who eventually fall in love but unable to handle the marital discord...’
There was always an important element lacking in their relationship which is trust, respect and transparency.
I glanced the episodes from the present scenario and from the background given by some of the forum members here, I could understand who is who :) I did not watch after fake pregnancy track due to sensory overload and RKs disgusting character. However I watched couple of scenes and read synopsis.
They are all very different from Ghum, so I am not sure how it can be related to Ghum. Storyline is almost the same, characters are a little different which is also butchered now. One major difference other than the characterisation of the leads is that Rono was strict with RK and Ghum makers have decided to spoil one most important good thing that was in in KD.
without understanding any bit of the dialogues, what I observed is 😬
😲
1. Rono is not very romantic but a person with high sense of duty. He looks like a no nonsense guy in family matters. If not for sai, he is someone who could go unnoticed in the family 😜. He could not confess his love because he was put under uncertain situations by emon every single time. I see that till confession he is always clear of his feelings for emon. But he sees uncertainty from emon side. So he keeps postponing or RK makes it difficult. Also, He craves attention from her.
Virat is more or less the same but it is not due to Emon that he couldn’t confess, he lacks confidence, he is an insecured guy and also wallows in self pity.
2. Emon is very temperamental and impulsive. She actually stretches Rono’s patience to extreme levels till he breaks and utters some nonsense. She catches that nonsense and pushes him away. She forgets all his actions before... I think this will be her problem throughout. She wants only words from him.
She is impulsive but is also actually sensitive like Rono. Her character is such that she doesn’t show out her hurt the way Rono does and shows it only by pushing away Rono. She doesn’t forget his actions, has gratitude throughout but Rono and RK’s relationship always tests her patience and Rono always stands mum rather than clarifying the right way. Keeps getting played or manipulated by RK even after the ousting, doubts Emon. I would only say since you said that you have just watched the scenes that a person who always cries or looks hurt is not a victim and a person who looks rude and harsh is not wrong. People can act differently when they are hurt and all need not react the same way. People who make mistakes can also act victims and Rono always wallows in self pity or gets drowned in misery due to his own insecurity. He lacks confidence and trust in his own love. Both are wrong.
3. I found RK more annoying sorry. She is not going away guys. She is going to make hell out of these two peoples lives. It is going to go only downhill. She is vile woman. Be prepared. These two keep falling for her traps because of their own trust issues. Rono blames himself but emon brings up their past(typical wife)🙄 Sai especially is going to have severe insecurity for this guy that she keeps pushing him even after the baby (I think.?!)
The baby part, let’s leave it because there will be another girl in Rono’s life, even if it means only a responsibility. Why should this guy keep having women around him as per the author . I won’t blame Emon if he acts like a jerk.
4. Sunny and mohit are very important in the story till confession and so is samrat later in their lives. Sunny is going to play an important role after he also knows about RKs intentions. The sunny guy in KD is also his cousin, and he is a sensible guy unlike a joker like sunny . Rono values him a lot. Hope they show something like that. I sensed deep bond between the two.
I am going to miss Anirban, not sure how they will be filling Sunny here since he is not any bua’s son. May be Sunny is an illegitimate son of someone from Bhavani’s family?
So there are so many awesome twist and turns before they become one. But I had a very good feeling watching the progression there. In fact here they made virat so soft and romantic that we feel the urgency for confession ( atleast me), but in KD you feel the guy is seriously stuck, more because Of emons actions.
I am sorry, I am not sure how did you get an impression that it only due to Emon’s actions 😲
I am dying to wait for these two scenes
1. The entire suicide track of emon and her hospitalization, rono doesn’t shed a tear. You can see his worry and guilt. He convinces emon why he misunderstood but not a tear... later in their room in between thier conversation, he breaks down!!! OMG it was heart wrenching and you could feel his pain!!! Virat has already cried loads not sure how they bring this about. With rono, the impact was directly on the heart 😩
2. When he hears emons conversation with badshah about their marriage deal and him standing outside silently breaking down ... 😢. He gets fever out of the heartbreak literally. And the whole phase of him distancing himself and emons worry is well played out. Can’t wait !!
These two are epic for me! But the build up to these are also very nice. I don’t know how much they will be able to build up here in Hindi for these two break downs. Virat is already wearing his emotions on the sleeves.
points I did not like and hopefully changed.
1. the leaving house by both kind of gets repetitive
2. Sruthi track seems lot of misunderstandings but shows ronos sense of duty and his adherence to it to the point of fault.
3. Sai’s insecurities even after consummation and a baby! No progression there :( I think in later episodes, she holds off virat physically also. There are episodes when they are intimate like regular couple but there is one episode where I saw she pushes him away when he tried to kiss her. She takes the baby away also from the farther. 😳 May be she will have reasons but depriving him of fatherly love is not good.
Only if there is an emotional intimacy and transparency can there be physical intimacy. If Virat is going to stay mum in Shruthi’s track just like how he is now in Pakhi’s case, god save the viewers and Sai.
She takes the baby away after Divorce or because they part ways. He was so lost in another new responsibility that he had pushed Emon away himself, not sure how Emon can be blamed for all of his actions. If anything went wrong, it will only be fair to blame both of them and not just one if not.
Not being there for a wife is okay?
4. Pakhis vileness almost till the end. We don’t have a respite from this lady. Btw sai sets out to reform her life too 🤪
5. No major separation please. No sruthi track for me but if they don’t show the final 3 years separation then I can bear sruthi track. They seem to be too much in love, in spite of their issues so that long separation seems unrealistic .
This is just my guess, I did not watch the episodes of sruthi track but going by synopsis, rono doesn’t get the needed emotional support from sai at some point of time so he gets involved with Sruthis family. He kind of shuts himself and becomes insensitive towards emon just like emon does it now. So they keep going in rounds .
There cannot be any excuse for Rono’s insensitive behavior. If we expect Sai to come clean with Virat before Devi’s wedding, to be transparent with him and then get Devi married, is it not fair that Rono be transparent with Emon too? Rono wanted Emon and after confession, he started to take her and his relationship for granted. A guy who keeps running behind her starts to hide things, starts to act indifferent, starts to show less importance to her, gets involved more in another lady’s life whose responsibility he had taken. Not sure what can be expected from Emon. If you say both were at fault to some extent, I will agree. One makes a mistake and another reacts to it in a wrong way is not needed be it Rono or Emon is what I would say.
Final word: So guys, we are in for an emotional but beautiful love story of two real people. They are not saints but two very good and kind hearted people. They do so much for others that they don’t care of what is happening between them. They raise and fall in their love, does so much for others around them, build trust and also hurt each other, just like any couple growing in a marriage. They are two different people with thier own personalities. I loved the story at-least till confession. Confession is not going to be so soon! Lots of love, heartbreak and angst before that but it is going to be beautiful.
This was why, I was planning to wait till confession. I could watch KD because I am not connected to those characters but watching Ghum is becoming very difficult because I am connected to Sairat. They faltering become a big put off. Anyway, will try to watch and if not, will watch just a few scenes and not follow the show. I am already trying my best to detach from the forum as well. Have a few comments or tags that I need to reply for now. Trying not to write any more new posts or participate in discussions. I realised that only if I detach from the forum can I even detach myself from the show. Will decide based on the upcoming episodes which I will watch only if I can. Not saying bye for now, makes sense only after I have really quit. Anyway around for now.
So let’s wait for the story to unfold.
Thanks Anandita for your lovely comments on several posts which made me see KD. Please correct my views if I am wrong because as I said i did not understand the dialogues a bit and did not watch all episodes.
Ps: I suppose we are all going to love pulkit in future. He is going to be the only family for sai, a fatherly figure.. and the only man virat fears 😂
Exactly, why I didn’t like them to have butchered his character. They have shown him a spineless and someone who is always dependent on Sai and unfortunately or fortunately will be playing an important role on Sai and Virat’s life. In KD, he was bua’s husband, a fatherly figure, could show some power on Rono. Here Virat calls him Pulkit many times, not too younger than Pulkit, have to see how Pulkit deals with Virat.
