Hope's Hopeless Ramblings (June 28 and July 1st)

June 28^th

Dam Baba ' Manav Heart to heart

Father and son discuss the upcoming parlog yatra of baba. Why do they always play the mourning soundtrack BEFORE THE DEATH? So Pea brain tells his father don't worry nothing will happen to you? Yes Yes sure ' you have a direct connection with Yamraj. Ullu. You don't cry Surprise when the party is over.

Baba beguns the Archu mantra and tells him to fulfil his dying wish. He says he will leave this decision to Pea Brain. First mistake. Ok D baba why are you betting on a flogged horse eh? Like seriously do you have 3 lakh to loan the dude or a preggo daughter or anything such Zimmedari aces up your sleeve? Nahi na? Second Mistake. Appealing to a powerless human being. Third Mistake. Oh dude three strikes. You're out.

Manav has a Conscience ' Multiple Actually

Ok so Manav apparently is suffering from multiple personality disorder. All of his personalities give him different pieces of advice and because he has to turn all around the room to hear all their opinions, he is also going to be suffering from vertigo soon. Poor dude the misery never ends. The more sensible the personality gets the better dressed it gets. However, all the personalities have major grooming issues. Apparently, none of the four personalities wants to take a bath or a shave. Maybe they are all on strike to protest the upcoming Manchoo marriage. Then to make matters worse they ask him for a spot decision. D baba must have schooled these guys. Arre baba when someone is as slow brained as manav you have to keep the mental debate going because the processor is not as good as the apps. He speaks faster than he thinks and all his words are moronic. He will never qualify for the lightning round of any game show. He's just not a Think on Your feet type of dude.

Satish Varsha Lubalub Connection

That poor Satish he was just chillin' out after a long days work, playing on his cell and she came and dropped the "Love Bomb" on him. He was just zapped. At that very moment you could have mugged him , tied his hair in plaits, or done anything major and Zilch ' No effect. He was like in a time bubble. Savouring the millisecond. I feel really bad for men, they chase women for days and months and then they get cheated with a millisecond reward. Women too should chase men for months before they make their Shakespearean declaration

Sav visits Lokhande Adda

Sav makes her usual faaltu dramatic entry. She tells Big Eyes and Parrot Nose, I have my daughter's back and if anyone does badtamisi with her you are messing with me. So madam Savita, does rape and physical abuse fall within your definition of badtamisi? Because if it does then I am sorry to be the messenger of bad news but the horse has already bolted the barn.

ArMan

Ok really I will not talk about the non-existent ArMan magic but I will say this. Manav runs fast with a broken foot. He also has no instincts for danger because the entire chase scene involved being dragged with a bandaged foot by A MOVING RICKSHAW. Maybe he was hoping that other foot breaks too and that way he can take a rain check on the marriage. For once, Archu should spunk. Well for a millisecond and then it was back to childish games. She was playing Catching Cook and he was playing Hide and Seek. Apparently their telepathic connection does not work within a 10 foot radius of each other. So I was shocked. That rickshaw driver MUST have been AN ARMAN FAN. There is no other explanation as to why the kid was not kidnapped when Lame Brain left a sweet cute looking GIRL child and went looking for Pea Brain. Ok this Archu is not a Mumbai girl for sure. Danny Boyle is more street smart than her. Can you please give this girl a DVD copy of Slumdog Millionaire?

June 29^th and 30^th ' skipped totally boring epis

July 1^st

Today's epi was like New Year's Eve Special for ArMan fans. Hopefully the New Year will be a good rather than a mournful one

Vinod's Bidaai

Ok so we finished Archu's mini bidaai, Varsha's dhum dham bidaai and now Vinod's tacky biddai. After intermission we will have Vaishu's virtual bidaai. Poor Vinod he was dismissed lock stock barrel pregnant wife and TV. Bechara he cried and cried and cried. I felt more bad for him than for Archu or Vershu. He will now have to do cooking, cleaning, tuitions, drivergiri and all other such homely tasks while the preggo and Big Eyes sit around blowing hot air.

The Madonna offered her services to her dada. Arre ullu YOU ARE THE REASON they are leaving. Do you have to play tag along everytime. Get a Life. What do you want Manju to make T-shirts now for the entire family with a big arrow pointing towards you? Uff some people wear blinders their whole life. Taht Poor Manju nobody understands her mission and desperation at this rate she will start her own "Desperate Housewives" franchise in Mumbai with Shravani and Urmi and RA (because mammy dearest is always a partner in crime).

Pavitra Rishta has officially become Petticoat Junction ' All the men cry and the women are high maintenance shrews

They dispatched the Vinod freight train and in came the Varsha Express with no load or goodies.

Shravani's Bridal Shower

Manav was ticked. She dissed Archu that is fine. Archu was always a smiling doormat. She dissed Sulo. That is ok Sulo is forgiving as a mother only can be. But now she has just crossed the limits. She dissed Varsha? Arre varsha? Wow that was the catalyst. Because as we all know the manav- varsha bond si truly the most strongest in PR land. He will kill for Varsha. Her love was the toughest to conquer and so the most valued. Manav got a haircut BTW. Wow and he actually looks groomed.

Shravani was taking a break from the festivities. Apparently she never took the doctor's bedrest note home to Daddy. She only saves the Princess Pea drama for the Ds because they fall for it everytime.

I felt really bad for Shravani guys. Manav came as the guest of honour and gave her a really nasty gift. She looked like a kid that was just told that Santa does not exist. I did not want to break your illusion but its true. It was daddy dearest all along. She was so shocked she could not accept it and so she has caught the Polar Express and gone straight to the North Pole. Bon Voyage Shravani. Please do not feel obliged to drop by. We understand and appreciate your absence. You will be missed like a discarded piece of chewing gum attached mercilessly to someone's shoes are missed.

Manav's wedding

Manav wore his old wedding suit without the mundavar. Even Tarun graced the occasion. Theya re really Jai-Veeru. Together they head bravely towards the oncoming duststorm.

Edit add: Savita is very clever. she only invited the biggest critics of the manchoo marriage to the wedding. you know what they say when you throw a party invite the next door neighbours first then no one will be there to complain about the noise. Wow Savita the Conniving is back in top form. hats off to the CVs.

Anyways, the whole event was like speed dating. A word here a word there and we were done. An experience devoid if chemistry.

Archu enters. Sav tells her exactly as per promo the way has been cleared, all the soldiers have fallen in line, it is time to come and take the keys to the kingdom.

I am telling the speed of the events has left Manav and Archu shell shocked. Sushant has just STOPPED emoting like a human being. He stands there like a robot. People say jump, he jumps, they say sit, he sits, they say take seven rounds round the bonfire, he runs fast seven times. Archu has on the other hand become like somebody who has had a brief spell at Guantanamo Bay. She never knows when the next round of torture is coming. She just looks shocked and cries in anticipation of the next Chinese Torture trick these D people are going to mete out. These two need severe mental therapy.

So I am sorry why did Archu come there when she found out Shravani ahd left? Was she coming for party leftovers? She was useless to the search party. She had no gift. She was obviously the reason for the NortH Pole voyage. Her entry does not make sense.

Ok so tomorrow's the New Year, let us drink merrily tonight and enjoy the moment before Ekta becomes Relationship Jason all over again and starts playing Halloween with the viewer's minds.

I firmly believe this woman is getting paid a hefty commission by the psychiatric association in India to promote all types of mental disorders through the Cast of PR.

Ok some predictions:

Tomorrow Archu or Manav will say no. He will be guilty for his angry words and might even confess to Girish. She will claim that Shravani is just emotional and that after she calms down the wedding will go through. Shravani and Manav wedding will happen after or just before delivery.

Leap will happen. Archu will finish exams and take a job.

Don't know about the deaths of the D elders. No prediction there.

Varsha will be staying there for a while. Satish will initially try to convince her and then leave her to her own devices unlike Manav. Versha will return.

Dharmesh will tell Manav to sell him the garage land as he can fix the problem. In turn he will employ Manav as some kind of manager and head mechanic

Edit add: A major reboot of the show seems to be in the works. it looks like they are reverting back to the original plot and charcters to ressurect a molested PR magic.

Guys, I was not trying to be vain with my last post. I seriously did not believe that a PR critic would be appreciated now that the tracks are moving forward. Anyways enjoy.

Hope

Hope my dear fantastic write up....I 🤣 so much...Girl you have a way with words...Enjoyed it thoroughly....👏

Hope 👏

Varsha is not the catalysts its my man Tarun😉

Hi Hope!!!

Gosh, I laughed so much- you had me in splits.

I don't know why- but I hated the episode except for the one part where Manav screamed at Shravani that he could never love her.

Shravani- PATHETIC CHARACTER- I would have liked it if she had written in the letter that she cannot marry a man who is not at all interested in her and unconsciously treats her like a burden. Rather she wrote about ArMan- what bull****!!! Since when has she been thinking about ArMan so much???

The way they glorify this ArMan love makes me squirm.

Girish is a fool who is more concerned about ArMan remarriage rather than his missing daughter.

Savita needs a major whipping and so do the rest of the family members for behaving like INSENSITIVE FOOLS when a nine month pregnant immature girl is missing. I think all of them are thinking- let us get ArMan married before she changes her mind and decides to come back.

Can we have one, just one mature character in the serial PLEASE!!!!

great job Hope . tha tbit about Archana coming from Guantanamo bay was too good . Also about Shravani's biggest ever mistake , messing up with Varsha, indeed Manav will kill for Varsha .

Can we have one, just one mature character in the serial PLEASE!!!! Well we had Satish but Alas they messed with him too

Nikki: seriously when Shravani was yelling at Archu all I could think of was a song" its my party and I'll cry if I want to, .....................you would cry too if it happened to you"

this whole epi felt like a premature delivery or something. the water burst and out came the baby and no one has any clothes to swaddle it in.

Ekta must have got an ultimatum. Fix the TRps by end of week or we are changing your timeslot.

BTW, I think everyone must have observed that Manav looks ver well groomed and shaven on some days, I think those are the days that he shoots for ZNKD- cos he looks very handsome and shaven in the show.

And yeah... Vaishali- Manav- Varsha bond is truly the strongest in the show. The only one which competes it is Archu- Damodar bond

hats off to you for making this so entertaining..👏

lets c what happens now...

even I dont watch all the episodes...now..

everything is moving at rocket speed...due to the TRPS of course..doesn't make sense

the creatives/Ekta dont care about us viewers...

apparently the scripts must have been changed...so the cast were shooting for 90hrs..ongoing..

Sushants probably shoots for ZND as well...hope they r all ok..

take care....😆

Bhavni if they did not mess up with the divorce they would ntp ahve to destroy so many characters and relationships to fix the ArMan collateral damage. Ekta does not have very good advisors I must say.

Hope: Ekta does not know how to continue her stories. She has the most awesome plots but the tracks she uses are pathetic.

Pavitra Rishta is an adaptation of a Telugu/Tamil show which has been made in several languages. In none of them (as far as I know) the lead couple got divorced. Rather they were shown to be fighting against their problems together- something we would have all liked to see.
