Okay if we look at this that way, sounds good for a moment. But they didn’t need to show Raghav so out of character for this! He could have woken up in a state of delirium (confusion), and maybe wasn’t oriented to time, place, person. - which is very common in a hospital setting. And then Pallavi could have thought that he might not remember her, coming to all those realisations. And Raghav could have come out of it eventually, recognise her, surprise her in a good way- maybe they could have a lovely moment there!
But, no. Really, whoever is the writer of mhrw, misses a lot on what could have been intense meaningful moments in their lives!
This is lazy writing honestly, and insensitive too. And sicku I hope you read this- when it’s the matter of life/death/hospital/icu - it’s nothing funny, really. You can’t get any joke out of it. Period.
I remember, I was miffed at that scene as well where Raghav was choking and Pallavi helped? him. Choking on food is such a serious situation, the person could die within a matter of minutes. And they turned it into comedy? Really? IRL Pallavi would be freaking out, shouting for Farhad, at the same time immediately jumping to help him the best she could and Raghav would be FOREVER grateful to her for saving him. Choking is that level of scary!
@bold: moreover, if we compare this scenario with whenever Mandaar meets Pallavi- trust me M has earned huge brownie points here, because All Mandaar remembers is Pallavi! 🤣🤣
(while, all Raghav forgot was- Pallavi)
I have so many thoughts on this
(Advance mein sorry if I say something medically dumb, so many doctors here, judge mat karna :P)
@bold- I hat the same thought. Would have had the exact same impact, without being such a disservice to Raghav.
Here's the thing- I think, medical issues and near death experiences have become such a cliche in ITV, and Sickand does have this obsessive need to 'be different' and 'troll the cliches' that he takes it a bit too far, ending up in these really insensitive sequences.
On one hand, it's occastionally funny- because yes, ITV tends to overdramatize the mildest of illnesses. Ek baar someone gets just a little dizzy, they assume she's pregnant. Someone has a fever, and it's the end of the world. I like it when this is trolled- it was used well when Sulochana relied on these tropes to frame Pallavi's stomach infection as a pregnancy, and I liked how Veena was made fun of in KHKT for overreacting to Rohit's fevers.
But then, he takes it too far in being different, and it leaves you feeling ajeeb. The choking scene is a great example. I never mentioned it because it's such a favorite, but it made me so uncomfortable. They wanted physical comedy- show a stressed out Pallavi doing the heimlich maneuver? That can be funny too, in it's own way, without being so off base that it leaves you feeling 'WTF just happened?'
Also, there was a time Pallavi was fainting left, right and center- no follow up. She got kidnapped, came home looking a complete mess, collapsed, and woke up traumatized- no follow up. Then this entire keel incident has been a joke only, beginning to end, so I'll not speak of it again.
If Sickand finds these medical tropes so cringey, then either he needs to not show them, or troll them by being realistic instead of cliche. Yeh tropes ko troll karne ke chakkar mein, reality ko troll kar jaata hai, and it's really annoying to watch.
