Mistis thoughts 12th july 2011

Todays show... just penning down some thoughts...

Radhika manages to get rid of the census people and then takes lunch and goes to Dev. They have nice time together but I did not get it that if Radhika is supposed to stay at home and hide then why is she taking food and going to meet Dev when they know that people are looking for them? I liked the scene...well directed and well acted. Radhika also let Dev know that she has been watching him and she knows about his likes and dislikes and Dev is happy knowing that. Then the police officers land in the timber depot and Dev runs from there and reaches home. On the way returning home Radhika realizes that she should not have been worshipping the idol of Kanha alone, she should be worshipping Radha ranis murthi too...and she naturally gets scared that all this must be because of that. I can understand her forgetting because her life has gone through so much up and down ...and stress that she is bound to forget. Dev suggests that he can make murthi and then the plan hits Radhika that there is going to be a big Radha ashtammi fair in Vrindavan and Dev can make the idols and Radhika can paint them and sell them...so in one way Kanha has shown them the way to earn their living. Then Radhikas can go out and sell the murthis and Dev can stay at home because they are primarily looking for Dev and showing his picture around. But if people are looking for them then why are they sitting like this outside?

Now Barkha in the Purohit Bhavan...she came in as a physiotherapist who does not like doing work then why is she showing her expertise to badi bahu? I couldn't understand that...won't that make others think that if she is so good with her hands then she is not the right person to keep around dadaji. Then Barkha gets to know from Mohini that although everyone else is after Radhika it is she who will be becoming the Rajpurohitian which makes Barkha think. Barkha goes for shopping and bumps into Mansaram...she tries to make Mansaram understand and says to herself if only I could tell you that Dev is only Radhika's KK but then like a good friend takes a step back and says to herself that the right is Radhikas and not hers. That was good. But then suddenly Rohan sees her...I mean talking to Mansaram and asks her questions as to whether she knows him . Barkha talks her way out but Rohan is not sure. They go back home together and then Barkha again trieds to make friends with Rohan and this time Rohan says yes...she cleverly gives him her reasons saying that it is not possible for her to stay at home when she cannot talk to people...she knows that she talks a lot and she also cannt give up her job...and Rohan gets taken in by her and says yes and shakes hands. Barkha is cursing herself that why does she have to make friends with him.

The precap is of Barkha again getting to know about the will from Mohini.

Now the episode was good...all the actors did good job...Aviinash and Rubina were as usual very good as Dev and Rdahika who are enjoying each other's company..trying to be each other's support and trying to earn a living...Benaf was good as Barkha and I liked the subdued Rohan projected by Saurav...who is still not sure as to what is happening and who is wary but since he likes girls he is affected by Barkha But the pace was very fast...I mean Rohan got a hint that there must be something between Mansa and Barkha...Barkha got to know about Mohini and Raj Purohitan...Barkha will also get to know about the will tmrw...I mean why is everything going so fast? I hope that the PH and the channel are willing to support the creatives who have been doing good work for the past 2 weeks or so.

Angie thats the feeling that I got...there were some inconsistencies today and suddenly the pace has picked up...they either might be finishing the false wife track quickly and planning on starting some new track or the signs are not good.

The episode was good but there was something in it that made me sit up and take notice.

Ok, this scene made me confused. I liked the scene between Dev and Radhika. But didn't Dev forbid Radhika to venture out without him? So why is she taking the food. I get it that they are enacting their dream where either Dev comes home for lunch or she takes out his lunch for him. But still...it was inconsistent with yesterday's conversation between Dev and Radhika or Dev's attitude about Radhika going out. I was surprised to see a mild reaction from Dev on this.

Thats what I felt strange that although Radhika is enacting their dream that somedays she will also take food for Dev but yesterday Dev was furious with Radhik and today his reaction was not that strong...he just warned her to be careful...and my other question...are the census people really census people or police in disguise. They just took her name ...did not askfor the surname...did not think that something is fishy...her name is radharani...husbands name is kishkanhayeeya...no surname was given and nor was asked...

This scene was nice. I liked Dev's answer to lecherous guys too. He doesn't pick up unnecessary fights especially now that they are in this precarious situation. But does protect Radhika in an intelligent way. Even though this scene was a little bit of copy of CB1 (there Radhika put salt instead of sugar in the halwa), it was well directed. Both looked a couple totally in love with each.

Yes I liked the scene and the characters interaction and reaction...didn't mind the salt scene too...because she gave an explanation that she was feeling harassed and hence she forgot...Every serial copies track from somewhere...I don't mind it if the tracks are molded properly used in the screenplay...this one was and so its ok with me.

I liked this part as Radhika is the one who always gets scared of not following any ritual that would harm them as a couple. So it was a good link from that childhood event where she started putting sindoor after listening to two women. Also, they are in trouble right now and so she wants to follow proper ritual. Dev on the other hand is not a big believer in rituals. That's why he discounts childhood marriage and Radhika does not. So this was a good scene because it shows their different belief system.

Yes radhikas reaction was ok for me...she is a ritualistic person ...has always followed rituals so that KK is ok and she will do that now too...because thats what she is...and Dev is not like that so his reaction will be different...Also it showed that she has been so harassed for the past few weeks that a thing that is so important to her has slipped from her mind...It also happens to us in the real world too...when we are too stressed out we tend to forget things that we do on a regular basis.

Now how did Dev return before Radhika to the house? Who had the keys? Do both have keys to the house? Wasn't Dev still working when Radhika left. So shouldn't be home first. I found the direction to be a little haphazard here. Also agree with you Misti about both sitting outside. Why not take all the stuff and sit inside?

Well this part regarding Dev returning home before Radhika...he is running away from the timber depot while Radhika is calmy walking back home...so I am taking it as that being the reson behind him returning home before Radhika. Now keys...Dis Radhika lock the door befre because she will be coming home late but left it open now..this part is confusing...and both sitting outisde when Dev knows that police are looking for them does not make sense.

Liked that they are linking Dev's hobby to something that can be used for making money. So in some ways, Kanha helped them as Radhika heard those women and got desperate for Radha murti and it gave an idea to both of them to do it as a profession to earn money as the Janamastmi season is around the corner.

Yes liked it also...his hobby will come of some use now. So it was linkedto her fear...kanha and then this new profession.

But again a question. Dev has only worked one day so far. So are his earnings from one day enough to buy all the material including paints for murtis and some material?

Well didn't the guy in timber merchant place say that peopel usually come and work for couple of days, earn enough money and then go away. they might have spent small amount to get the basic necessities...

This scene was again confusing to me. Maybe it was just done for comedy between Barkha and Virat. But BB can think that this person is better than she led her to believe. Poor script writing or lack of interest?

This part I was scratching my head...it looks as if they are in a hurry and hence missing out the smaller details that were there in the past two weeks.

This is the scene that gave me the most pause. Is Mansaram in Rawal or Mathura or is he at some ghat?

If Barkha has gobne for shopping and Mansaram has come to sell some stuff then he might be in Mathura...

Mansa is keeping Radhika running away a secret from everyone because he thinks that she would be accepted by PF if they think she was kidnapped. So his beginning conversation was fine. But then why is suddenly calling Radhika a sinner to Barkha? Has the news about Radhika disappearance spread? If so, why would Mansa or Shanti do that?

The news cannot have spread because BB and the purohits have hidden it...even the mahant does not know...or will they show the mahant knowing. Then they will have to show the source of this leak ...or is it Masna being a very emotional person saw Radhikas best friend and as any emotional person he just reacted ...the sin might have been a slip of tongue. I can expect Mansa to do this but not Shanti. I hope we are given some clarifications here.

Shanti wanted to keep this news quiet so that her daughter's wedding is not affected. Why would Mansa be suddenly telling Barkha something or expecting her to know anything about Radhika?

As I said maybe emotional outburst of a father on seeing his daughters best friend.

How is Rohan suddenly there? Is he looking for Radhika? There was no explanation given. Again a haphazard and half-baked scene.

Yes he just suddenly popped out ...needs explanation

Barkha and Rohan have good chemistry. I like this subdued Rohan who has suddenly become serious as he has lost to Dev (his once best friend and now his arch enemy). But would like to see more of Rohan and rest of PF together. Suddenly, the whole family has disappeared and the appearances are not joint together. Rohan seems to be in his own world. Virat, Mohini and BB are now together and Padma is nowhere to be seen. Again this is an important track and they need to show interactions, feelings etc.

Padma not being there is strange...I have always liked subdues Rihan...saurav is good in this role...he is in his own world because he is not letting the cards out,...but he was not convinced with Barkhas reasons...and yes to interaction between member of PB.

I hope they don't go with romance of Barkha and Rohan in a jiffy. Rohan is a psycho and he needs to straighten out before he can be with somebody sane. Also he needs to pay for his mistakes.

Yes Rohan needs to straighten out and repent for his sins before anything positive happens with him.

I will wait for this until tomorrow. But Mohini is not supposed to know anything about the will. All she knows is that she would be Mrs. RP after Rohan was married. So is she still thinking that the will would be read after CB comes back?

I will wait too, it just that everyhting is haooenng so quickly.

Also, wasn't puja supposed to be in 4 days the day after Dev's shooting? So shouldn't Puja be next day? How come Padma and BB are not shown as screeching or screaming about that and Radhika still missing? Also, the lawyer was supposed to return in 10 days and this was the day Dev and Radhika ran away.

Oh the four days is CB days...their counting is different...same for lawyer...counting is different...BB is stressed out...

The actors were very good. Liked Avinash and Radhika the best. They do have great chemistry.

Yes they were very good.

Benaf and Saurav are also good. I am liking Saurav in this new subdued serious kind of role.

Yes.

But again same questions about the pace. Why not slow it down and show all the side characters. Wondering if PH and channel are willing to support the creatives. These new creatives joined less than two weeks ago and already the quality of the show is different. They, audience and actors need to be given a chance. There are other shows on various channels that have low ratings, but are given time to recover once a new track is given to them. I hope that the channel and PH don't do what they did last year to CB1.

My feelings too..this new creative director is good...but the person needs time to get some result. It cannot happen so quickly...the show needs support and help frm the ph and the channel...

You started, Misti, with the third which is most indicative of episodes to come. Together they decided to start a new path, at the sign given by God, namely, to do what they know best, idols for glorifying God. With this work will survive, will be more together, will know one another, will tell every part of their childhood and their relationship becomes stronger.

Thanks misti for ur thoughts and the important info!!
You are welcome Myra.

Todays epi was all about how kanha is helping them survive and build their relation more!! Its true that were some mistakes here and there but nothing is perfect ,i mean they did showed some good scenes that made us connect some dots!
Sorry Myra I will not keep quiet when there are inconsistencies ...specially big holes...yesterday Dev was furious and today mild reproach..what happened in a night to make this sudden change? Yesterday when both returned home...the main door was locked but as they entered the house...the big side door was open...the windows were open...yesterday they showed Dev does not have keys so how come he entered the house?...When Barkha was talking to Mansaram suddenly Rohan out of nowhere pops up...he was not there in the scene before and suddenly he is there... these are all careless mistakes because they are in a hurry and I can't stand carelessness because that shows that one is not interested in their work.

The explaination of them exposing themself is that what better way to hide than rite in the face of the enemy,he wont see the obivious and seak behind the shadows...dont know if they think like that but seemed a good idea to me! Radev scenes were memorable,their endless talk with their eyes and heart...she knows every lil detail about him and he tries to protect her innocence from lustfull eyes...wonderful scene! They didnt got caught,good...he lead them to agra...verry good... And one of my fav...radh belief,faith payed the price and kanha gave her a solution using their qualities...well introduced this fact making her hear those ladies talk.
Radhika and Devs scenes were good and so was her idea regarding Dev making the murthis...
..well barkha rohan reminded me of a scene from Maard when the girl sings and raises her hand "will u marry me" and amithab is on a horse...here barkha said will u be my friend and repeats like in the movie streching her hand to a horse,i mean rohan 😆 You were rite she shouldnt showed her skills,liked mohini,already spilling the beans...
Barkha is slipping being a talkative person.

As for acting loved avina and barkha-saurav!

Yes.
