I know its a day late, but here's my view on Monday's episode. I would love to read yours too so feel free to disagree...or agree. 😆
*******************************************
Episode 16:
So this week started with Imli spiking Vidya's drink and all the ladies dancing unrestrained in total abandon under the influence of alcohol. While the men are dancing downstairs, Aditya decides to check out the women's party but ends up dreaming of Priya. Now...I realize this is a Hindi series and that for ratings to grow, a dance every so often between the lead pair is pretty much the norm. This reality of the television business made me overlook my misgivings about the fact that Aditya & Priya's relationship has not reached the point where a slow song dream makes sense. Even with that set aside, the dance, as shown, broke the rhythm of the sequence it was inserted in. Had Aditya started dancing with the women and imagined one of them as Priya, the screenplay would have had a far smoother flow. Granted, this is a done to death way of showing a lead character's imagination, but it would at least not have been a tempo buster!
Moving on then to what was the most interesting part of the episode'the conversation between Devyani & Gaurav. It not only directly hinted at issues between father & son, it also revealed a relationship dynamic between Devyani & Bramhanand. And'as predicted by Gaurav, Bramhanand blames Devyani for the spectacle created by Rishabh. Bramhanand's verbal abuse provided some basis for Devyani's reaction to what is happening in Uttara's life. Devyani manages her husband's abuse by running as perfect a home as possible and not letting anything affect that. Given this, it is not surprising that she thinks managing Rishabh's abuse is in Uttara's hands.
The episode closed with Aditya finding out that Priya lived in Ghaziabad.
What did not work for me was:
- The screenplay for the dream sequence.
- Still find that Ishq Hai does not fit in well. It was better than the previous times though!
- Why did Aditya & Gaurav not jump in to drag Rishabh away as he started on his tirade?
What do you think about what you saw?
Cheers,
Jaya
heyy another nice topic from you! nice analysis. nice break from my studies! Maryada is piquing my interest a bit.
Well, about the first bolded line of yours, all I can say is: hahaha 🤣 welcome to the reality of indian tv :P
About the second bolded part, I am glad that he didn't imagine priya while dancing with someone else because that is sooo done and over with (not that the one which they actually have shown isn't too) .
Okay but the sequence wasn't too bad considering I was expecting worse. Atleast Priya stayed in-character for most of the time, except when they were playing hide and seek at the start of the sequence. But I liked the part where she's just sitting on the rock, all sad and a bit brooding.
The song 'Ishq Hai' makes me cringe and I have to mute it out, sadly. Its not that bad...there are portions where its okay too...
I missed the most imp part of Rishabh..so can't comment on that but the dynamics will be interesting to watch esp. when what they showed in the first promo comes up.
What I liked about Gaurav is that despite the fact that obviously is unhappy and bitter about his marriage, he still treats his wife and her brothers with care even if he is amused by them half the time.
