Managed to catch up on the episode just now. The family scenes were quite sweet, no doubt and the wacky dance was fun too.
I couldn't however help but get an overall very disjointed feel in the story.....there was lack of a sense of flow overall IMO. I'm feeling this the most in the desperation to make the whole two sisters and Imlie ka baap kaun angle such a "grand drama".....lol despite all the back and forth b/w the Mithi/Malini scene and the Imlie/Dev scenes, I was literally just left feeling mega bored throughout.
Firstly this entire plot is built on a very cliched/flimsy premise....it's not as huge a secret as the Adi-Imlie marriage one that actually can drive high drama in the narrative. On top of that, the characters involved all just rotating in their own delusions makes it even more underwhelming......it's now become a case of people talking past each other rather than building any sense of coherent narrative. Everything is just a gimmick to get from one scene to the next.....the biggest example being AC smashes Imlie's head with a tubelight, Imlie lies about this for so long, people just do token apologies for it and today Imlie was like oh it was all great cuz I got to get my parents married.....lol wow......and now everyone will go back to acting normal with a person who literally physically assaulted Imlie.....lol
The Imlie-Sundar scenes also feel very token these days....lol like the makers are like baaki sab toh shallow/depressive characters ban hi gaye hain, inka random comedy daal do episode mein toh all good.....lol without really building the relationships around much of a narrative.
Finally, coming to the weakest two links in the chain when it comes to hyping this lame do behenein and Imlie ka baap kaun drama......Malini and Dev.....damn, such TERRIBLY shallow acting from Malini especially, I can't even *shakes head*.....if they want this angle to be the base of all drama in this story, they need to write/enact it better.....cuz right now, it's all feeling very superficial and forced. People are mouthing lines as very obvious plot gimmicks rather than really feeling them as characters.
I'm overall just feeling a sense of boredom setting in....like how much can you even talk about characters that are this shallow and aimless? Adi-Imlie wise toh pata hi hai they will get their token scenes sprinkled in between all this forced melodrama.....but they feel like very static characters now just reacting to the other characters who are mostly shallow/vapid.
