Do you think if I cry enough, all the members will be swept away by a flood and won't even have the chance to do any damage... this family has been annoying (making me laugh/cry/feel unnecessarily annoyed) me to a next level with all their interference... I don't think I can deal with DevTa's lectures, Dhara Mata's crying, Gaumbi's words of wisdom, Krish's one-liners, or Suman throwing utensils 😆

Both of you bring up great points, Esha and Piu!

If I may say this, I don't consider Pandya Store to be a remake. In fact, I stopped considering it to be a remake around the time of the kangan kaand. I watched the Telugu version (which was a true remake, following the OG as best as it could in the early days). Pandya Store, though, has changed many of the characters. GauRa are younger, ShiVi have a childhood equation, Dev believes being an older brother protects him from apologizing, Suman is much more vocal... to say the least. After changing this much, they tried to follow the OG tracks (while entering new tracks such as the GauRa + Anita triangle), but in mixed-matched order, causing the show to become even more confusing. So, personally, I feel it's better to say Pandya Store is loosely inspired by the OG.

With that being said, I wholeheartedly agree, Shiva and Raavi are mere shadows of their former selves. Considering their background, I don't think it was right to have this misunderstanding + Shiva breakdown scene. Shiva was someone who was completely comfortable in his own skin. He prided in his work and didn't mind the masalas or the oil as that reminded him of the store. If anything, they should've postponed the breakdown to 7-8 months into their marriage. That way, Shiva and Raavi could've had the chance to get to know each other. It would've given us a proper track of Shiva slowly falling in love, where both of them realize all their similarities, and where the audience realizes what marriage means to Raavi. The entire breakdown could be based on how Raavi wants to continue her nok-jhoks with Shiva (and hence has no plans to become his lover) while Shiva wants to take his relationship to the next step. The diary could've been the final nail in the coffin as he realizes he is nothing like the Prince Charming Raavi always wanted.

This misunderstanding was so poorly placed that I have no idea what's keeping ShiVi together other than his family. I can list all the reasons they shouldn't be together... but I can't come up with any reason of why they deserve each other... Pre-marriage ShiVi, though, I could sense the chemistry and care. Shiva was Raavi's watchful protector. It didn't matter if she didn't love him, he protected her all the same. And her... it didn't matter who was in the room, she somehow cared about Shiva's opinion the most. Even when she knew he would mess things up, she smiled and enjoyed his presence. They were so perfect together that you could only think, "I know this hurts right now, but trust me, you two are destined to be with each other!"

Now I've lost all that And if they show me a track full of compromise and "Let's beat all the emotions out of Shiva and Raavi so they can be with each other"... I'm out.

Oh what I would give to trade Dhara Ma’s drama for awkward run-ins at Pandya Store 😆

Main hoon ghumsum

Tu bhi khamosh hain

Sach hain samaye ka hi sab dosh hain

A few weeks after all this drama, Raavi goes to buy something and sees Shiva working hard inside the store. She thinks about how their relationship was before the wedding. How easily she would tease him and the way he would react.

She walks in with the intention of teasing him and then recalls his words. It stops her in her tracks. Suddenly, it’s weighs down on her how much their equation has changed. Shiva sees her hesitating and silently takes the list from her and gathers the items she needs.

Gham ke ye baadal guzar jaane de

Ab zindagi ko nikhar jaane de

Chhod de ab yaadon ke dukh sehnaa

Sun bhi le jo dil ka hai kehnaa

As she hands him the money and is about to walk away, he calls out for her to check if the items are correct, otherwise Maami will create trouble for no reason. She walks away without responding, still feeling a huge sense of loss from her earlier thoughts.

A few steps away, she opens the bag and finds her favorite chocolate bar sitting on top. As she stands there, tears begin to fall down her cheeks as she realizes that it was Shiva, not Dev who would pack her favorite chocolate bar each time she would visit the store.

Inside the store, he ponders over the recent events. “Perhaps it’s for the best,” he whispers to himself.

Couldn’t have said it better Avi! And seeing them like this is heartbreaking 💔

@Bold1 This would have made so much more sense! It would have been perfect! And would have made for one heartbreakingly beautiful track 😭

@Bold2 This 💔 What have they done to ShiVi 😒😒

Don't give the CVs ideas, Esha 🤣 I don't know what's worse, Dhara doing nautanki in the hospital to get back Raavi or Dev going to Maami's place thinking he'll change things. I don't like either 🤣

Don’t worry they have these and many more wahiyaat ideas ready to present to us 🤣 I’m sure they’ll surprise you by topping both of those ideas 🤣 maybe both scenes happening simultaneously 🤣

This needs to go into your thread for scene requests! ❤️ Loved it! I think it brings back the spark that some of the original ShiVi had

Thank you 🤗 Honestly I have no hope left… just trying to keep some interest alive to watch until the end of this track 😆

How I wish you were the writer of this show

This sounds amazing! Its impossible to get a full fledged track like this 😆

But i hope we at least get a few scenes where shivi plot together to ruin all the adbhut plans made by the Pandyas, and come closer to each other in the process ❤️

Thank you 🤗Oh I don’t think we’ll get anything like this… do you see Dhara Ma written anywhere on there 😆 plus can’t have a track without lots of drama, tears and YKB 😆

I’m going to watch the old episodes when the spark was there, when the storyline had potential, when the knok jhoks were cute, when raavi uses the loo sign as a sign of hunger 🤣😭 I miss the old scenes man, I don’t think that spark will come back and even if it does it’ll take a lot of time because right now they’re just ruining every single character.

Bring this back to the first page for LU... quietly stalking.. 😉
