Ashu…woh chalo baad ki baat hain but I would say the point isn’t whether PR is a kind person or not…It’s the stupidity of the narrative that is showing a kind of love where the guy( Ani) has mightily obsessed over his love for a woman but has also kept her wishes paramount at all points of time but the narrative is able to sell to the viewers his jealousy as a turning point in the tale and viewers are buying it!!
They showed PR for 10 episodes but we are convinced he is a good man ( which he very well could be) cos PR hasn’t been been overtly shown to covet J…But PR isn’t the projected central character as yet so why should we compare these two characters as of now? J and PR have lived with eo for more time than Ani and J so it’s natural that J and PR have a good understanding but is that comparable to the relationship that J and Ani considering their history.For that I need to know how did these 5 years pass?
Tomorrow the Ani who hasn’t shown an iota of love for Arshi from the time he fell in love with J but we will believe when we hear him say ILU to Arshi? I know some may say it will be out of spite but
My issue hasn’t been about character flaws which Ani or J have been shown to possess but the underhand manner in which this love story was subverted to make this macabre point…’about jealousy angles that were supposed to be footnotes but became whole chapters suddenly.
It’s natural to react to what the character does and being upset about it but as a viewer I am always looking at what the writer has told me about the character through the entire time and very little convinces me that Ani of today who has spent 5 loveless years with Arshi pining for J whose love he was convinced of thoroughly would want to tell J that Arshi was right about her… A man so petty and I wasn’t able to see that all this while even though I have clearly noted his other flaws like being indecisive, lacking accountability for actions at times, etc
When we as viewers are willing to buy footnotes as prime traits Writers ke balle balle!! They don’t need to work to convince us of anything.
I will give one example… J taking that kid with her - they showed her very steadfast on her principle until then about morality et. but as a viewer we were ready to accept that she will keep that baby with her based on one dialogue of Ani ansh - who is also Arshi ansh -,from which angle was that dialogue convincing? 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
