Ghum never fails to DISAPPOINT!
This shows how easily we can get over toxicity. The Ghum we all know breeds on it..high dose of it. And we were accustomed to it. My point being, if they were maintaining their patent standards, we would have reeled at the episode. Because it was simple, easy episode. But lately they have reduced their toxicity quotient and the episodes are lil more balanced with the negativity. And we just got used to that. Hence I would analyse and measure it against normal standards than Ghum standards.
What was good? V's scene with a sleeping Sai. Breezy, cute ...and short! He is a bundle of nerves, high on excitement , and positive prospects. Looking forward to build a life with his love. He played that emotion well. Not exactly but kind of a parallel to Sai's scene with him (after his physio session)
What was wrong? The pace, the intensity and treatment of important aspect.
The whole track was intense, very high on emotions. How can the melt down be so easy and quick? All done and dusted under the carpet. I know that he was a nuthead with stretching things, but if he was, then so should have been this. They practically wrapped up months long agitation in one single episode. The intensity of emotions was missing heavily. It seemed more like a regular MU getting cleared. It was just so rushed up!
He went to everyone and apologised and made up. P is sick. I'm just falling short of finding an appropriate adjective which is non offensive, or abusive. But I fail at that. V hugged his family, he did a side hug with Karishma, a very brotherly one. It would have been fine if the same was done with P since they are supposed to be "friends" as well. But her desperation in getting that hug was so evident. It just portrayed her lust, her desire for physical intimacy, even if it meant a hug to begin with. It is not the hug but the intention of the hug. Seriously the character is a vamp of a different level, not for any of her acts to harm anyone, but for her own unethical, pathetic thoughts and desires. And the family practically worships a woman like her! BK is divided in her opinion. She in her subconscious knows and values Sai and her deeds. But her insecurity wrt to her power and position and how P has manipulated her with that is what is causing the negative side to turn up. BK doesn’t like to be proved wrong and she definitely want to be the one to praise Sai or acknowledge the efforts. But deep down she knows the truth. Hence, she brushes away and says what difference does it make what Sai does and where she eats. Now that V is back with them. A very insensitive statement. "Humara kaam ho gaya, ab wo jaaye bhad mein". Used and thrown away like a tissue. This show glorifies woman abuse on a different level. The way they treat Sai is so inhuman. They would have behaved much better with a stranger than they treat their own family member. I so wish it was Omi and not Rajeev who suffered the attack. But I doubt they would have given any credit to Sai even then. They would have given her money for her services and brushed it off as doc duties. Insulted instead of being thankful.
The spontaneous and matter of fact conviction dialogue from V "Sai meri biwi hai" was another good line. But too little for all the mess. It definitely gave everyone present the feel of how strongly he felt about it. P who claims to know V so well, got that punch right in the gut. His excitement was shared by most about revealing everything to Sai in the morning. But "Sahi Waqt" is just a mistake he regularly commits and other bear the brunt of it.
Another good part was V acknowledging Pulkit. He was indeed the only true and consistent person throughout. Pulkit was beside Sai at every step, even at her worst when everyone had abandoned her. V thanked Pulkit as a husband. Oh. grateful to Pulkit for supporting his wife when she was left alone. But where is his reflection. He didn’t even remember that his wife doesn’t even have meals with his family. She cooks separately. He knows everything she went through, so much from him and his family. Despite all this she put up a smiling face, with consistent efforts while preparing for her exams. Everyone’s pain got decent acknowledgment. But with the amount of suffering Sai dealt with there was barely any mention and any reflection from V’s side. It was more like she put efforts for apologising for her mistake, so now she is forgiven. Her ordeal is no one’s concern or business. What is the point of V’s turn around if he is not even properly acknowledging her pain and suffering leave… consideration and sensitivity is a far cry. He had to realise his own mistakes. Where is Sunny, drill that brick head some more. The significance of Sai and Sai’s effort were mentioned as if in passing. V has no understanding of her suffering while she does. Mohit did his bit to take onus of his mistake but no one paid any heed. It was like they just wanted to brand Sai as the evil one.
V looking out for Sai could have a lil more desperate. More than thinking she would have left, the initial reaction should have been the eagerness to see her and talk to her. actually just see her. The way he had fallen asleep, that should have been the mood he should have woken up with and should have prolonged a lil before the fear set in. Everyone is busy with the wedding prep, and the brush off without any worry by Samrat, Mohit, Ashwini and others of where Sai is could easily have been believable. But when Ashwini said that let her be, even if she has gone to GC is when the lie could have been caught. Seems like either Sai heard V (there was a smile on her face when V told her about his reconciliation with his family while she was sleeping), or she had woken to witness the entire conversation downstairs or the family had spilled the beans to her in the morning. The others seemed to be involved. Which makes me think of Sai making an entry in the wedding and proposing to V. Bike entry. Quite possible(though I’m not to keen on it).
The whole scene in his room with Devi, Sunny and other coming in one after the other was so hurried up. Sunny calling out his fears that Sai could have left, V looking at the corner where Sai’s suitcase is missing. Why did wouldn’t he check the cupboard? Like Sunny we are also surprised at we thinking about whether he should be going in search of Sai. Seriously. After all this he is still having second thoughts? V is an idiot. Period! So the plan is on V vs the erstwhile Sai gang. Its very obvious. Everyone making V desperate and pushing him to the edge by highlighting the possibility of his worst fears. Well worst is what we want to believe, but it lacked the “Intensity”. Also yesterday I had mentioned I would to see a desperate V hunting for Sai, and the family realising the her importance for him. It was somewhere there, but they failed to show it with that amount of intensity and conviction. Too Thanda!
