Misti,
Regarding y'day episode more dialogues than eye-locks. For that I am thankful.
1) Dadima's feelings for Radhika and how she has to fight for her suhaag and sindoor goes to show the love that radhika has earned from them. God forbid I hope the Purohits don't reach that day where they have to make a choice between Dev or Radhika.
Radha in my opinion love and respect are two such things that can never be earned. You love a person because of what a person is, you also respect a person because of what a person is.........if someone loves and respect a person because the other person has earned it then that is not true respect or love. So does that mean that Radika has to serve these people all throughout her life............be insulted by others throughout her life, so that the Purohits love and respect her!!! Are the writers so sadistic that they want the main central character of Radhika to suffer almost everyday so that she earns this respect and love? Have the writers no imagination that they are going round and round the same concept of Radhika having to prove something.....be it her foster family last year and the Purohits this year?
2) Dadima's recollection of only one marriage in Dev's kundali is just to convince the audience that the CV's do remember this, especially since MR is planning a Kanika-Dev marriage. Interestingly, Radhika was not aware of this at all and y'day she would have heard it for the first time.(The drama that happened in PB).
Radha I realised looking at Radhikas expression that she was not aware of that and the writers could have easily tied up a loose end here....they could have shown Radhika realising why Vaishali behaved so rudely with her during the engagement period last year and instead of Vaishali sitting there and blushing and smiling they could have given her a single dialogue that how sorry she was for doubting Radhika and thinking that she is bad for Dev.......but again a golden oppurtunity gone wasted. As for the fact that the creatives are trying to remind the audience that they have not forgotten the single marriage thing in the kundali.......that leads to my next thought, are the creatives so insecure about their own screenplay that they have to now reassure their audience. Last year when Radhika was living in PB and Vishaka was there, we all knew that nothing bad will happen because Radhika and Dev are meant to be one....that group of writers never had to remind us of this fact by giving any dialogues to the characters. If the creatives are aware of the single marriage thing then few weeks back why did they give dadima a dialogue that she is worried what will happen to CB even if Dev returns because he now has this new wife and child with him..........if the creatives knew about the one marriage thing then they should not have given that dialogue to dadima or they could have shown dadima saying that then Vivek or Vaishali saying that this second marriage cannot happen because it is not there in the kundali. Why is all this telling me that they were not aware of that part in Devs past (I think this a new batch of creatives who came with this leap track) or were least bothered with it but seeing the audience reaction are now running to sooth the audience by dropping the carrots.
3) From almost a month or maybe 15 days I am getting the feeling that the episodes are connected with the previous ones. That is why I could predict the sindoor episode and the barsi connection.
The episodes might be connected Radha but to me that does not mean anything if they are destroying Abhays character (I am not even going to talk about Dev here). Abhay was introduced as a very perceptive person who could read others intention by their expression and from that Abhay we are left with a shell without a soul and brains............and why because of the creatives urge to justify the circles and to hide the fact that they cannot write. The main benchmark of any screenplay is characterisation.......if that is played with then the screenplay becomes very hollow. Thats why I said today in my response to one of Angies post that all the ingredients were there in the episode but since they messed up, the episode was a hllow one for me.
4) Radhika losing the other paayal is not making me feel comfortable. If you look at the pre-cap she had the same expressions like the day when Dev met with the accident and she was looking shaken.
Frankly I don't care about payal and all the carrots that the creatives are throwing.....without no screenplay, awful dialogues and continuous pingponging of Abhays character........all these are of no importance to me. You know what this is reminding me of............I mean the continuous use of gimmicks and carrots .......a disabled person who cannot walk and hence needs crutches to walk.......for me the creatives (I mean both the production house and zee tv) are like that disabled person who cannot write so need all these gimmicks and carrots to write..........so the gimmicks and carrots are the crutches here. What a sorry state of creativity.
Most of us in the forum are really upset that amma and Devki escaped the punishment and are allowed to go scot-free.
But if you look at this track, it is a huge punishment track for both Radhika and Vaishali. Vaishali gave up her innocent child for the sake of her family and basically for a mistake she committed and got the curse of some pundit. Today when Dev refuses to accept her as his mother and goes to the extent of doing barsi which is going over-board, will she realise this mistake of hers? Will she realise the feelings of the sense of rejection be it a mother or a child? Radhika is also going through this ordeal because she thought Vaishali was mahaan although she did not like the thought of disowning the child. Secondly, Radhika is also made to realise what Dev and his family went thro' when she chose to keep quiet about the truth of the first marriage. It is extremely unfortunate for Radhika to suffer in both the circumstances.
Realisation of the mistakes and repentance will be needed to make Dev come back to them for good. I am expecting 2 visits in the near future--one from Kanha and another from some pundit to make the story go forward on expected lines.
Coming to Vaishali......what she did was wrong.......and I have always said that...again my problem is in order to punish her they are destroying Abhay........and that is why this "punishment track" is again hollow for me. If they really wanted repentence from her then they could have given her a single dialogue .........when she is talking with the family members in the temple area that she feels that all this is her fault........they could show her breaking down and accepting the fault on her own......without any prompting.......without any thing poking her...........that she feels that since she gave up one son and refused to acknowledge him........her other son is doing the same thing to her.......that would have been real repentence and would have been more effective because she did that on her own........her soul finally woke up and she acknowledged her mistake in front of others on her own........realising ones mistake on your own is much more powerful than someone making that person realise it. As for Radhika and her mistake........yes she did all that and for that I have said that this track is a convoluted attempt of the creatives to show that one should not take advantgae of others (for Radhika) and that one should not be so over confident (for Dev)......but if you see and compare all the four characters here.........all excepting one had some sort of wekness or circumstance that can be used to explain their mistake........Devki for bring meek, no personality and completely under the control of the MIL (amma), Vaishali ..........for being totoally society conscious and this urge to prove that she is the best Rajpurohitan, basically a very insecure person.....thats why she was so dependent on dadima...and Radhika ....childhood abuse the screwed up her thought process ...but amma...........she has no excuse for what she has done and she will repeat it if given a chance......so the greatest culprit here is amma, but I think as usual Radhika is the one who is going to be punished here more than the others........so the person who has suffered the most throughut her life will be again suffering here.......and I mean Radhika.
Coming to my last point.....who made these characters........the creatives.........who made them act like this .....the creatives....who gave Radhika that dialogue which actually completely clashes with her characterisation ..the creatives.......who blundered through out Shantanu track.......the creatives.........what a mess these creatives are in all for the sake of searching for drama at the wrong places and letting the right oppurtunities go.😉😆
As for Kanha and pandit........I am also expecting that but not because they are needed but because they are part of the circle.😉.....😆😆😆.....
