Third generation: promising or disappointing? - Page 8

Didn't Govind once refer to Karan as Gattu's younger (cousin)-brother? Now Karan is older than Gattu, and there's a younger cousin-sister, Shivani, who is getting married.

Why does Gattu need to be in a fight in every episode? When he started hitting the drunk men who wanted Imlie^3 to dance with them, was it supposed to be connected to his memories of his mother being harassed in a bar? Or, do those memories no longer exist because he was maybe two years old when his mother shot his father and never came back from jail?

Imlie^3 running with Ashu in her arms looked much younger than she would have been 6 years ago, at age 17 or 18. In the flashback of Kairi's funeral pyre, it was Adrija Roy playing Imlie^3 the teenager holding swaddled Ashu.

The scenes of Gattu and Imlie^3 smashing stuff are boring and pointless. Gattu needs to recall the facts known to him and realize that Imlie^3 actually has a sick nephew, which Amrit had told him was her excuse to demand money.

The Chaudhary family business just went up in smoke. They're paying hospital bills for severely burned workers. Sonali says that insurance isn't sufficient to cover the cost of rebuilding. They need a loan.

No way would the insurer pay anything while the police are accusing the owner of negligence, installing faulty wiring that caused the fire. Even worse, the owner's response is to claim that someone set the fire deliberately, which suggests that the owner might have instigated the arsonist so that he could make a fraudulent insurance claim.

So, where could Gattu find the money to buy Imlie^3's house, and then buy the Desi Theka bar? That too, before the man on the phone tells him the funds have been transferred to his account? Gattu was waiting for a transfer of shares from the business, so those funds would be operating and contingency funds, right? If a business has enough liquid assets to rebuild and to buy new properties, why hasn't it expanded out of one little village yet?

Will Shivani have a simple, inexpensive wedding?

On the November 26 episode, when Gattu discovered the Payment Declined: CHEQUE BOUNCE notification from the BANK OF PURVAIYA app on his phone, it should have displayed the payee name: Imlie Rana (or Chaudhary).

Even if a mobile phone banking app designer felt the need to remind the cheque-bouncing customer of his own disgraced name, why divide it into two boxed fields: first name, last name?

Also, do Indian banks really display commas only before five zeroes: "5,00000" and not "5,00,000" to mark thousands?

These errors may seem small while poor Chandu, in critical condition, can't even get a hospital room! He and his visitor Jugnu are stuck with Annapurna sitting on his bed and describing him as ṭhīka-ṭhāka while another ten members of the Chaudhary family disturb his rest.

Imlie^3 is recruiting bar dancers to make sweets with her, as if the employees who were supposed to return to work when Chaudhary Sweets reopened just don't exist.

The Chaudhary family hasn't mentioned their employees either. They only seem worried about their own income.

The family should be aware of the fact that Gattu bought Imlie^3's hut and the bar while their business remained closed and in debt. Sonali should have something to say about Lallā's recklessness.

Why was Imlie^3 paying for builders and performing repairs to the hut, and why was Gattu telling her to pay him back? As the landlord, it's entirely Gattu's responsibility to restore the rental property to livable condition.

In the earlier flashback narrated by Rajani to Imlie^3, Mira had brought Gattu to the house to demand his inheritance. Kunal and Mira were arguing about that when he got shot.

Now Mira's version is that Kunal had already taken Gattu away from her, and she came to the house to plead for custody of her son. Kunal was telling Mira to get lost when the masked sickle-slasher came for Kunal.

Surely Mira told the Chaudhary family right away, "It was someone in a mask, not I!" Yet Rajani didn't mention Mira's denial, did she? All of the Chaudharys seemed completely unaware of the masked menace until Vishwa told them about the danger to Imlie^3.

Wouldn't a half-decent forensics team determine that Kunal got shot while the gun was right next to him, and the arterial blood spurting out of his wound had to have gotten on the person who pulled the trigger? Mira's blood-unsoaked clothes would prove that she hadn't reached Kunal until he was already bleeding out.

Despite not living in that house, Mira knew exactly the drawer in which Kunal stored his loaded gun within easy reach of Dhanaraj, Karan, Sonali, and Gattu. Remarkable. Wouldn't that have been the #1 reason to argue that Gattu shouldn't live with Kunal?

Vishwa used to say his name was Vishwa Jyoti Singh. On the January 1 episode, he called himself Vishwa Pratap Singh.

Was this a deliberately scripted slip of tongue - Vishwa revealing his connection to Tej Pratap Singh before he was ready? Or was it like Gattu calling Alaka alternately Choṭī Mā ... Baḍī Mā ... Choṭī Mā?

Gattu discovered the factory ownership papers in the name of Tej Pratap Singh, son of Ravinder Pratap Singh ... but why would the papers state his address as Chaudhary Bhavan before the Chaudhary family moved in?

The producers took the trouble to create a sign for सिंह भवन to announce the name change, but they couldn't make the papers with the original name match!

Scenes of Vishwa being given insulin injections because he isn't eating are dangerously misleading.

The body requires insulin so that the liver will remove excess sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream and store it for later use. That is why insulin is taken after meals, when the digestive system is starting to release simple carbohydrates (sugars) like glucose into the blood. If someone skips a meal, blood sugar is not in excess. In that situation, an insulin injection will cause already low blood sugar to drop abnormally low, which can be life-threatening because vital organs are deprived of energy.

If a diabetic person is fainting, put sugar (or whatever food releases simple carbohydrates upon contact with saliva) in the person's mouth. The person is probably fainting from low blood sugar, and needs an immediate source of glucose to keep the brain and other vital organs functioning. The insulin that is in circulation from the previous injection will make sure that blood sugar doesn't shoot too high. Never inject insulin unless the person has just had a meal! Low blood sugar is a worse risk than high blood sugar.

I really hope no one who is watching this show gets the wrong idea from how Vishwa is treated, and accidentally kills a diabetic person in real life.

Season 3 is far better than season 2..Season 1 was okay for me..Everything felt rushed in that after a certain point of time.Season 2 was like all skip season..But season 3 is something different and TRP so far is good too..The actors are promising and though storyline has some loop holes its still watchable.Chemistry is on fire though🔥🔥

Only thing is that the Mask killer story is a bit draggy without much info otherwise its watchable nd its defintely not disappointing so far but kets see what makers will do later on..

Even the cardboard buffalo didn't escape the impact of the over-the-top Sāvitrī Satyavān drama, when Govind as Yama struck the poor fake animal across the face while swinging his arm for emphasis.

The original story in Mahābhārata (Āraṇyakaparvan chapters 277-283) is much more dignified, without Imlie^3's agitated expressions as Sāvitrī, without the anachronistic mention of sindūra, without the misogynistic declarations that Sāvitrī has no astitva without her husband and a woman should choose death rather than outlive her husband, without Gattu as Satyavat's dead body slung over the buffalo ...

In the original story, Sāvitrī does not resist Yama at all. Having fulfilled her vow to remain standing for three nights and days, and having fasted that day, as Sāvitrī sits with Satyavat resting his head on her lap to sleep off his headache, she is able to perceive Yama's arrival. Sāvitrī greets him as a deity and asks him who he is and what he's doing. After answering her, Yama removes Satyavat's thumb-sized soul from his body, and heads south, apparently on foot since there is no mention of a buffalo or crossing the river Vaitaraṇī etc. Sāvitrī follows Yama quietly. At last Yama notices her following him, and tells her five times to turn back, and she replies calmly each time with a testimonial about honest people (santaḥ) and honesty (satya) - eponyms of Satyavat. Yama is so impressed by Sāvitrī's five testimonials that he grants her five wishes. Sāvitrī asks for (1) her father-in-law's eyesight and strength, (2) her father-in-law's kingdom and righteousness, (3) 100 sons for her father, (4) 100 sons for herself from Satyavat, and when Yama forgets to say "except Satyavat's life" the fifth time, (5) Satyavat's life, because she (personally) feels as good as dead without her husband and does not want to live without him.

The five testimonials are:

When Ashu met Vishwa, indoors and outdoors, and when Ashu met Gattu, the sign said "SM Global High School." Ashu is now 7 years old, and the actor Gantavya Sharma just celebrated his 7th birthday. How can a first grader attend a high school?

What an irresponsible school, allowing Gattu to take Ashu without permission from his guardian, Imlie^3!

Gattu speaking of himself in the third person as a tall, handsome, good-looking gentleman who is standing in front of you ... Ashu responding that he didn't see anybody ... that was a clever joke! A seven-year-old wouldn't readily understand Gattu's riddle.

Gattu put Ashu in the front seat, which is unsafe for small children. Until the age of 13, a child should sit in the back.

Gattu's memory of telling Dhanaraj that he would get lost in such a big house is incongruous with Gattu living in that house ever since Kunal was murdered and Mira was arrested ... Alaka pushing toddler Gattu out of that house into the cold ...

Assuming that Shivani's classmate Avinash is younger than Gattu, the back story of Kunal taking the house from Tej Pratap contradicts all scenes of Gattu in that house looking younger than Avinash in Vishwa's memories of measuring their heights in that house.
