kekekek...yea, those scenes rubbed me off in the wrong way.

like I mentioned in another post to smriti -- we should have gotten internal monologues to develop the character of katha into more a full rounded person. so the makers missed in making this arc dynamic and vibrant. mostly snoozefest punctuated with stupidity and then random vindictiveness. such a whiplash reaction from me!

Katha = curiosity about the Man and then some anger

I do want the curiosity replaced with other emotions- healthy ones though…

I agree on the music part- I feel like the background score and even the use of silence at times elevates the scene. That is why episode with ONS stood out, more so bcoz of background music- If i remember it was title track may be- Kya kabhi subah yeh hogi .. and it suited the situation, made us empathize with vulnerability of Katha and then Adnan's monologues were added in that scene - with apt score to even make us not hate him at that moment. It was brilliantly shot episode. Same can be said for sorry scene and love realization scene- Khare raaste suited love realization scene but here they could have used some other song that would have added more emotion to the scene. Especially during the silent exchanges of the leads on road.

so do you think Katha will know Viaan's poetry too when she is getting hold of that video recording.. hehe that might be interesting to see her reaction on his poem ,she might get an idea that he likes her may be..

I have been watching the track and enjoying it to the fullest. Got really stuck with work. Today's episode was great. Katha's question, Viaan's reaction was a treat to watch.

For the first time, we are getting a real redemption of a character in ITV. That too ML. I feel blessed.

Katha, the strong multitasking woman for whom we all signed up is feeling restless and helpless, weak. And Viaan is cool and composed, ready to face punishment. I love Viaan.

Shalzie, I have fallen for another fiction show ML after Aryan. I hope they don't butcher his character like Aryan's by the end.

Khaare Raste is a bit smooth, but I love that song. I feel so sad for Katha's costumes, but I am ready to forget and forgive for the way they are telling the story and tracks are executed.

It is a redemption track for Ehsan also. I want him to stay this way only. He really love Viaan. Farah Aunty is a devil. And Teji feels she is over smart.

Precap says, Batman will save Robin. Keith will come in at the right time.

PS: I miss PapaG-MamaG. And I am bored with Meera-Yuvi drama. Meera looks like a stupid girl, Yuvi is frustrated. The biggest fool and irritating one is Reet

I hope I will be back with full analysis by next week. Financial Year end and I am stuck with some major issues

Letha, I have faith in the KA team. It takes enormous courage to tackle the current track. They are not shying away from it.

Poor Katha! All of you are after her clothes. I hold M responsible for this🤣I have to admit that I liked the pyjama jumpsuit🤣It's much better than most of her clothes!

I quite liked Farah in this ep. She comes across as more composed and practical. MamaR is back to being damsel in distress.

The Meera-Yuvi track is something which happens in real life a lot. I do not like the track but hopefully it will make young women conscious of how men manipulate them.

All the best for the FY! What will they be without their challenges?🤣

Liked the episode

Finally Shamo will get lost 😥

Viaan...Teji scene was good....others felt rushed for me..i think the makers are heeding to some requests from forum for a super fast episode.. everything happening all of a sudden...I don't want this speed..takes time to digest and analyse each scene..

I think Adnan is on fast..He did not touch the food, also he has become lean...my observation...

till yesterday's episode, I was more bored. I just thought the comittee as well as katha are kind of stupid. yesterday's episode really annoyed me because katha came across as subconsciously vindictive. the only grace is that this wasn't a planned move but essentially it came out of a dark place in her heart where she seriously resents and maybe hates viaan.

otherwise, why would anyone shoot themselves in the foot and endanger themselves by asking that question -- she was putting him in place.

whether she realized it or not, part of her wants him destroyed. that is how it came across. in fact, rather than protecting him, it looked like she was desperate to protect herself and hence her conversation with viaan. so it looked rather selfish.

like amra said, viaan should have given her a kick because she insisted that the night be never spoken. so she put him in a position of protecting her while destroying himself. the poor fella is so guilt ridden that he feels happy to be destroyed. I dont' know whether to sigh or facepalm at such madness.

so right now, I feel both are toxic for each other and I don't want them making googly eyes at each other. I don't buy either of them at the moment. viaan has no sense of healthy boundaries while katha acts like she is good but there is vindictive undercurrent to her and she is no good for viaan.

katha is basically annoying:

#1 she hasn't owned her anger and resentment -- I prefer villains and anti-heroes who don't pretend to be otherwise

#2 she acts like she didn't benefit from the deal. which she did.

I feel strongly the makers need to get off the subtle train and start writing internal monologues for all characters especially katha. no matter how brilliant actors are, we don't interpret body language the same way. so I get how you and others who enjoyed the episode are seeing it differently but those of us on the other side are interpreting the scenes from a different perspective. simplest solution -- makers need more dialogues.

M, I do understand you. But having lived life at its messiest, I can tell you that rational people behave really stupidly at times.

I understand Viaan because I live my life by my principles, and I beat myself up if ever I make a mistake. The problem with Viaan is that he never really interacted with other women besides Teji and Farah. He always kept women at a distance while judging them. I don't think that he was deliberately unfair as most of his staff spoke well about him but he never really considered whether he was actually fair....if that makes sense? I understand Viaan's lack of boundaries towards Katha. If a person has been a loner throughout his life and suddenly meets another person who awakens something within him, Viaan is bound to cross some limits. The man didn't even know that he was attracted towards Katha! He was so messed up that he proposed ONS to her and actually went through with it.

As for Katha, it's easy for me to say that the ONS was her choice and a deal but in truth, Katha is not someone who goes around making such deals. Circumstances forced her to accept the deal as the consequence of not going through might have resulted in losing Aarav forever. Katha had not been with anyone else besides her husband. Being with Viaan might have felt like a betrayal to her. Katha is an inherently good person. She tried to forgive Viaan but from her POV, she was forced to go through the ONS. She has been scarred by the ONS. Obviously there's pent up anger, resentment and even some bitterness towards Viaan. Is there hate also? Maybe. But Katha is not used to such dark emotions. She does not know how to deal with them so she ignores them and keeps them all bottled up inside of her. How does any woman accept having taken money for such a deed? To whom does she share this experience with? How does she confess? There's only Viaan. Shamita's track was required to bring all of this to the surface. Yes, the investigation appears stupid and even boring at times. What is being shown is probably not good enough but I am fine with this as ITV has its own limitations.

I do not feel that Viaan and Katha are toxic for each other. In this situation, they actually need each other to heal themselves. Once they have a proper confrontation about the ONS...let there be shouting, anger, bitterness but at least let them clear the air and find some relief...they can then go their separate ways and reflect on their future. Otherwise how do they move forward?

I just shared my way of looking at the track and the situation.

Well said. If only clear thinking prevailed… it’s not as much what Katha is going through as it is the loosely put together narrative around why she accepted the offer. That part makes no sense.
Also, with most people irrespective of their gender, when they “feel” victimized, as part of protecting themselves, there is this attitude that comes up. Can be extremely hard for people living/working with them to deal with. It impacts others tremendously. That is why trauma is generational as well. So with that in mind, I am a strong believer that one should reach out for help and stop internalizing. Yes, Katha did go through trauma (having a child with cancer, losing her husband, trying to meet ends meet, fear of losing her child and hence the connection with her husband, not being able to get the loan approved), unfortunately, she didn’t go about asking for help at work in the way it usually is done. By blaming and hating Viaan, she cannot undo her actions. To understand all of this, she needs help. That’s probably the grouse with this story…

In my possibly unpopular opinion, PapaG’s rejection & harsh ‘curses’ were far more traumatising than the ONS, yet Katha has conveniently forgiven & forgotten. She did not even particularly take it to heart in the first place. Lets not forget that Papa G knowingly behaved abominably, while Viaan behaved shamefully under a misapprehesion. Yet PapaG’s guilt melted her faster than an icecream on a summer afternoon, while Viaan’s remorse has barely made a dent.

Methinks Katha feels some shame for having accepted the deal (just to clarify, I dont think it is shameful) - she doesnt want to forgive Viaan coz as long as she holds him responsible she can let herself off the hook for accepting the deal.
