Here are my thoughts about the episode. For those of you who want to follow the live updates from the beginning, start from page 29! And thank you again Aalu, Srii, and Ashu for the live updates ❤️ (I stole pieces of each of your updates to determine a final rating myself 😆)
Raavi/Maami/Shiva Scene 🟡
The scene appropriately set the background to the next scene that will follow. As Aalu mentions, "There were many rishte that came for her of gentlemen guys but her fate had was terrible that she got Shiva." Who is a junglee gawar... As annoying as it is to have Maami anger Shiva, the CVs did a nice job with foreshadowing! I also like how Shiva was in character when he broke the glass as well as when Ashu mentions, "I never said I wasn't a junglee or gawar"
Anita/Suman Scene 🟠
I mean... this is Anita up to her usual tiring antics... not much to say here other than the fact that I eye-rolled a ton especially with Srii's mention, "Suman says she is in control of the house-only problem is she does not have grandchildren" This baby drama seems never ending 🙄
Raavi/Maami Scene 🟡
Again.. pointless, unless you want to see Maami not getting those stolen gifts... At least Raavi says the obvious of how Maami is kind of corrupting her mental peace 🙄
Dev/Rishita Scene 🟢
For the first time, we had a well fleshed on DevTa scene... I have to appreciate how they mentioned baby plans. It was a nice nod to the fact that couples have the independence to do what they want. I liked how Dev seemed to be in character too after a long time, especially with Ashu's mention, "dev says she should have just said that they are trying for a baby because there is no other way to pacify them and there is no point in trying to explain to them" Dev the peacemaker 😂. Also can we appreciate Rishita for the fertility center. As Srii mentions "She says she cannot be cool after the drama and suggests counselling for the family. She also suggests fertility center instead of going to temple. Rishitha says she does not want to walk 25km to the temple as she does not believe in this. Rishitha says also prays for opening new PS branches so that they can be independent." This in itself makes this scene 🟢 for me 🧡
Shiva/Raavi 🟠
It was not a completely useless scene as it is a starting point for the new jealousy track that is to come. However, the fact that there are zero speaking lines brings down the score.
Anita/Matka 🔴
Can she just go away 🤣 So tired of her...
Precap 🟡/🟢
I'm in a mix of both... depends on CVs execution. Although I am reserved about bringing a jealousy track when there's no resolution in sight for ShiVi, it would be interesting to see a jealous Shiva... hope he doesn't become more violent 😕 or it would turn into a solid 🔴 for me.
Final verdict? 🟡
