Smile, people. I'm not writing another depressing thread. I'm just asking a very simple question:
Do they think that we're stupid?
Now you're thinking: Who are "they"? Read and you'll find out.
Today's episode was alright. No painful cheesiness, and most importantly Dutta was present in the episode more than once. I think that this time he had more than three minutes on screen. Call me daring, but I say that's progress. Kind of.
Pros:
1) Dutta.
2) Dutta.
3) Oh, and did I mention Dutta?
4) Last, but not least, the final scene between Kala and the family was most definitely a pro as well in today's episode. The conversation between her and her mother, her taunting her sisters, Baji standing up and threatening her life, Kishore speaking up and calling her Kalavati - it all was just so intense that I loved every second of it.
Honestly, when Mishal's face showed on the screen, I smiled. For the first time in days.
Cons:
1) Editing glitches, once again. Oh, and the bloopers continues to grow stupider and stupider. Call me crazy, but I think that the recent bloopers are signs of carelessness rather than a woops.
2) The TaSha scene was shot awkwardly, but thanks to the brilliant actors and the fact that it was TaSha, I managed to ignore it and just enjoy that Dutta had his hand on her shoulder.
3) It annoyed me to no end that Baji said: "You started the game, Kalavati, but Nakusha is going to end it." No. No. No. No. Nakusha isn't going to do anything. Dutta is going to end this game. This war is between Dutta and Kala. Nakusha will do nothing, because Dutta will do everything.
You know what bothered me the most about this dialogue? Firstly, it was coming from Bajirao Sriram Patil. Baji would never say that Naku would end this game. He would say Dutta. So clearly, this was out of character. Whose idea was it to have him say Nakusha's name, I wonder? Secondly, this whole scene reeks of the one thing that we're all familiar with: Someone's trying so very hard to put Naku in focus, to make her character the dominating factor, to make her oh-so-strong that Dutta won't be needed. Someone's trying to suppress Dutta, to make him fade even more into the background. I don't think it's just one person standing behind this anymore.
My question is thus: Do they think that we're stupid? So stupid that we won't notice these small but significant details? That we'd sit back and clap our hands going: "Oooh, Naku's going to end the game, end Kala, yada yada yodle ee-ooh"?
Get one thing straight, Colors, CVs, whoever is coming up with it: Dutta is the one who's going to end this game. Dutta is the dominating character on this show. Dutta is the strongest male lead ever seen on Indian Television, so cut the crap and stop playing these mind games with the intellectual viewers of LTL.
We're not stupid, lovelies. Don't ruin LTL for us. It's not a warning, it's a request 😆
