Actually I read a symbolism recently on tt

That ayi trying to erase rr' s name in the promo was for this

Also that divide episode one - review she had mentioned how the d fam divide is already very clear but the one person missing :ayi she is the one who's decision matters the most seeing pallavi always held her close

According to that amma would be positive and ayi might support mandaar

But then it's just a speculation, makers will take it either way .

But her analysis was good 😁

You know Nidhi, I used to think the same about Aayi when I saw the scene where she was washing the red colour from Pallavi’s white saree at the beginning and also the erasing of the name. But her recent support of Pallavi shows she loves Pallavi like her own daughter and would support her all the way for Pallavi’s happiness. We never know who the writers might target on, Amma or Aayi.

Yaaa so true , makers can take any path now !

But the intended path was probably ayi would turn grey bcus the symbolism has been that evident from the start .maybe they wrote that in the start - storyline changes are made as and when tracks come and according to which pairing is liked .can go any side now

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.

I don’t know if he’s trying to mock itv and audience with this. If that’s indeed the case, then he’s clearly bad at it.😆 Because it never felt like that. What I felt with these scenes is a forced comedy pushed our way where there was no space for it.

you have rightly mentioned about no follow up in the fainting, kidnapping sequences.

Honestly the whole abortion drama was so loosely knit Ashi, it’s very embarrassing. Frankly I haven’t seen more inconsistent writing in itv ever! Trust me, Pallavi fainting and then getting diagnosed with a stomach infection was not a mockery. The plot was being set up for Amruta being pregnant and Pallavi taking the blame (somewhat along the lines of gorintaku. On Mansi’s music, the slip sharda founds is a pregnancy positive report, not an abortion).- but midway sickand realised ki this can be easily rubbished by a simple pregnancy test at home, everybody knows this and it will be very illogical. Then he turned it into an abortion. It was easier to pull off. There were so many loose ends in that track which irked me, but we had to bear with it. Also vfx was annoying in those episodes. But let’s blame covid restrictions for this maybe.

Also I don’t understand his need to make scenes zabardasti funny. I am still traumatised by the way Ronakshi behaved on their first night. You can’t blame me for being hard on sicku for this 🤣🤣

Oh god, I wasn't paying attention to the show in those episodes, I took a break because of how annoyed I was...what you're describing sounds horrible, way worse than what I had in mind.

He is not confident about his delivery of non-humorous scenes...there are so many scenes in this show that I wish hadn't taken the comedy route. Not the romantic scenes, I don't mind the comedy there actually. But so many important moments are played for laughs and brushed aside for the sake of a joke...Sicku yaar y u do this? Give us characters we fall in love with, and then make them jokers.

I am annoyed whenever a scene which could have been hugely meaningful suddenly takes a comic route. Like how immature and unnecessary. I was expecting a good conversation from Ronakshi on their wedding night. Like today I was expecting a good one from Raghvi. Let them talk na, make sense of things around them!

@bold : Aur kya! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was let down by the jhaadu sequence honestly, It was funny and all, but I didn't like RaghVi paralleling a Milind/Sulochana scene, and I kinda wish she'd just given him a dose instead, and then they had spoken and decided how they want to go forward, with the 'zabasdasti' aspect of the marriage lifted from their both. Instead, that jhaadu sequence made me kinda 😕 because all the staff being there made me uncomfortable (though the FaRag sequence redeemed the episode), and then Pallavi got mana-od by a song, which again, sweet gesture, but lacked impact. That poolside conversation they had later- I wish they'd done just that, and had it longer. They keep putting bandaids over bullet holes, and it's starting to pile up too much. I need it to hit it's boiling point already.

(Another case, btw, of me disapproving of Krishna's filmy solutions to things)

Also, I wish they'd write them a more equal relationship- how much is this supposed to be Raghav messing up and apologizing, and Pallavi forgiving again and again and going 'my dill goes mmm'?

Matlab?

Amma wanted Raghav to marry Pallavi because she felt she’s the right person for him and also it would bring him on the right path. She was thinking of only Raghav when she asked him to marry Pallavi. That was her son’s love. Now if she feels Pallavi is manhoos for Raghav or to their family, she needs to side with Kirti against Pallavi. So if her affection for her daughter starts, I was just thinking she can do anything just for Kirti then like she did for Raghav. I hope they are not going for the saas-bahu route but it wouldn’t be surprising if Amma turns negative for sometime. She has been shown to be of a fluctuating nature.

I get what you're saying, and yes, it sounds very possible. I will show ko bhool-bhool after that.
