Angie's thoughts - August 4, 2011

First of all, comments about few good parts. Radhika's mesmerized look at Dev and he looking at her back with love and tenderness while she was hugging Barkha was beautiful. Also his mesmerized look at her when she came out dressed in shagun clothes and then his compliment to her in privacy.

Maheswari's scene was good too as she did feel concern that her son was working like a servant. So she did end up bringing food for him even though she bungled that up too. Liked Mohini, Maheswari and Virat's scene without Barkha this time. So Maheswari is now going to her next plot of getting rid of her servant status while Virat is angry at her for spoiling everything for him. His anger is not because of this tussle between Maheswari and Mohini, but because Maheswari ruined his life. Mohini and Maheswari are at war with each other. These three have good chemistry among them.

Now except for Dev and Radhika's expressions, everything else was just nuisance. Barkha was dominating the entire conversation. So she went to the room to get Radhika dressed (should have asked Chanda too to accompany them too regardless of Chanda's feelings as Chanda is the sister) and basically took over the Mansa household. Then she again acted as an intermediary in asking for a date for Dev and Radhika. Dev could have done it on his own by asking Dadaji to speak up for him which eventually he did anyway. Barkha was not needed in that conversation at all.

The worst part was all the hints that chunnu munnu threw at us. So will the wedding in the ME (Janamastmi) be between Dev and Barkha? Shanti gave the first hint when she told Chanda that Radhika is not Rukmini. So this implies that Radhika would remain a lover and a hidden wife (in eyes of society) of Dev whereas Barkha would be Rukmini. Then Barkha gave Radhika her earrings and told her that they share everything. So earrings for Radhika from Barkha in exchange for Dev to Barkha from Radhika? Chunnu munnu, don't even bring down Radhika's character like this. Your ratings would go down the tube.

Then, Dadaji talking to Barkha that he has to find a groom for her and find a way to make her stay at PB. Finally, Barkha calling herself a gift in lives of Dev and Radhika as she is present in their lives.

Since the society is unaware of this engagement for now and thinks of Radhika as Rohan's wife, the objections would come. Will Dadaji cave in and ask Radhika for the sacrifice the way he did ask Chaya? Then will Radhika give up Dev for his own good and ask Barkha to take her place on Janamastmi. They better not show it this way. Radhika shares everything with Dev and would never do anything underhanded to him even if she wants it for his good. So she wouldn't do this to Dev. Barkha is a friend who protects Radhika's rights and should not be agreeing to Radhika no matter what the reasons are. Dev and Radhika have to be different from Hari and Chaya who would fight for their own rights and will not do a wrong thing. Hari's actions spoilt several lives ' Chaya, Dev, Padma where the most injustice was done to Dev. Dev and Radhika cannot repeat the history this way.

Also viewers would be turned off if they show this wedding on Janamastmi day. How can Kanha endorse his devotee to suffer like that on his day? But then these chunnu munnu ruined CB1 by burning Radhika and letting Vishaka and Amma go scot-free for all their crimes. That time too none of us believed that they would go really show that track.

Anyway, to end on a good note:

Precap: It was cute between Dev and Radhika. Bholu shyly bringing out the poem he wrote for Phullu. Hopefully, we will have a Barkha free episode.

Acting wise: Not much scope for anybody as it was a filler episode with hints for the coming track (hints were offputting though). But Rubina with her expressions was very good. Avinash didn't have much scope today, but he performed well with expressions and one dialogue that he was given. Again, his wardrobe is questionable. Now that he is heir to the vast property, can't they give him some nice clothes for his own "roka" ceremony rather than a shirt that has been repeated 20 times in the show so far.

Anyway, they should realize that viewers watch CB2 because of Dev and Radhika and not because of Barkha. Also viewers are already weary of triangles. The ratings for CB2 fell after Radhika came as a fake wife in name of Kanha. They cannot show us Barkha as either real or fake wife of Dev and assume that viewers would tolerate that. .

I am with you...when will Chunnu Munnu get it that we wanted CB2 for Avinash and Rubina and not for anyone else...what are they giving us...editing all the scenes of RaDEv/Avina and to top it no dialogues for them...yet our Dear avina are able to carry it with their acting and facial expressions...

Friends, substituting for Misti as she was doing the update today.

A short commentary as I am in a little hurry today and because the episode ended irritating me after a nice episode yesterday. It is because of the love that chunnu munnu have for Barkha's character. She was everywhere in all the scenes whether she was needed or not. Also Chunnu munnu gave plenty of clear hints that Barkha is coming between Dev and Radhika. . I cannot believe how much a character that was liked by us in the beginning is now becoming extremely irritating not because of the actor (Benaf) who plays this role, but the way her character is imposed in every other scene to sideline Dev and Radhika's character. They again took all the dialogues from Dev and Radhika and had maximum for Barkha

Angie i liked RaDev's moments today, and was thinking why Barkha has to indulge in everything...I loved Radh's smiles, her blushing, Dev's looks to Radh...but didnt understand why Radh was Sad, what was making her sad?

First of all, comments about few good parts. Radhika's mesmerized look at Dev and he looking at her back with love and tenderness while she was hugging Barkha was beautiful. Also his mesmerized look at her when she came out dressed in shagun clothes and then his compliment to her in privacy.

Dadaji was good that he addressed Shanti first and told her that as a woman of the house, he wants to ask Radhika's hand. It would have really nice if they had shown a scene between Dev and Dadaji where Dev explained about Radhika's treatment at hands of Shanti. I really doubt if this will happen.
the way they are showing the character of Radh and Dev now, i doubt that CV's will even consider showing so much details to their characters.
So Dadaji's subtle way of showing Shanti that Radhika is important for their important and they want her as Dev's wife was well done. Liked that Dadaji called Radhika a diamond and showed a bond with her.
yeah it nice to hear, but again the discussion didnt stop there, it again ended with Barkha.
Too bad Barkha was in that scene too. Also liked that Dadaji made Mansa less conscious about his status by telling him that the money is not an important factor in any shagun and is just a formality. Dev gets this quality from Dadaji.

Maheswari's scene was good too as she did feel concern that her son was working like a servant. So she did end up bringing food for him even though she bungled that up too. Liked Mohini, Maheswari and Virat's scene without Barkha this time. So Maheswari is now going to her next plot of getting rid of her servant status while Virat is angry at her for spoiling everything for him. His anger is not because of this tussle between Maheswari and Mohini, but because Maheswari ruined his life. Mohini and Maheswari are at war with each other. These three have good chemistry among them.

Angie i actually liked this scene with Maheswari-Virat, and Mohini joining them, it looked good. unlike the other day. Mohini was so funny taking Virat from there.

Now except for Dev and Radhika's expressions, everything else was just nuisance. Barkha was dominating the entire conversation. So she went to the room to get Radhika dressed (should have asked Chanda too to accompany them too regardless of Chanda's feelings as Chanda is the sister) and basically took over the Mansa household. Then she again acted as an intermediary in asking for a date for Dev and Radhika. Dev could have done it on his own by asking Dadaji to speak up for him which eventually he did anyway. Barkha was not needed in that conversation at all.

RaDev's scene were very natural, loved watching them, esp Radh's blushing and Dev staring at Radh( without blinking😆)

i am tired of talking about Barkha anymore.

The worst part was all the hints that chunnu munnu threw at us. So will the wedding in the ME (Janamastmi) be between Dev and Barkha? Shanti gave the first hint when she told Chanda that Radhika is not Rukmini.

Chunnu munnu, don't even bring down Radhika's character like this. Your ratings would go down the tube.

this was such a yucky scene, so irritating,

Then, Dadaji talking to Barkha that he has to find a groom for her and find a way to make her stay at PB. Finally, Barkha calling herself a gift in lives of Dev and Radhika as she is present in their lives.

Dont know why RPji is so desperate to marry off Barkha, hopefully first he sends Barkha out of the PH before he gets anymore idea and ruins some more lives.

Since the society is unaware of this engagement for now and thinks of Radhika as Rohan's wife, the objections would come. Will Dadaji cave in and ask Radhika for the sacrifice the way he did ask Chaya? Then will Radhika give up Dev for his own good and ask Barkha to take her place on Janamastmi. They better not show it this way. Radhika shares everything with Dev and would never do anything underhanded to him even if she wants it for his good. So she wouldn't do this to Dev.

Hari's actions spoilt several lives ' Chaya, Dev, Padma where the most injustice was done to Dev. Dev and Radhika cannot repeat the history this way.

Kahna save Dev and Radhika, now i am even dreaded to watch this show, will that really happen? is this what i was waiting for?

Also viewers would be turned off if they show this wedding on Janamastmi day. How can Kanha endorse his devotee to suffer like that on his day? But then these chunnu munnu ruined CB1 by burning Radhika and letting Vishaka and Amma go scot-free for all their crimes. That time too none of us believed that they would go really show that track.

The ratings for CB2 fell after Radhika came as a fake wife in name of Kanha. They cannot show us Barkha as either real or fake wife of Dev and assume that viewers would tolerate that...

chunnu munnu, dont know what they are really upto, but hope they dont spoil the lovestory of RaDev.

Anyway, to end on a good note:

Precap: It was cute between Dev and Radhika. Bholu shyly bringing out the poem he wrote for Phullu. Hopefully, we will have a Barkha free episode.

Thanks for writing this Angie...

Well this is chunnu munnus speciality...taking a character who is well liked by all and turning her or him into one who is most detested.

First of all, comments about few good parts. Radhika's mesmerized look at Dev and he looking at her back with love and tenderness while she was hugging Barkha was beautiful. Also his mesmerized look at her when she came out dressed in shagun clothes and then his compliment to her in privacy.

I liked Dev and Radhika today. Infact my respect and admiration for Rubina and Avinash is increasing day by day...they have been given the bare minimum dialogues but they are giving top notch performance...

Dadaji was good that he addressed Shanti first and told her that as a woman of the house, he wants to ask Radhika's hand. It would have really nice if they had shown a scene between Dev and Dadaji where Dev explained about Radhika's treatment at hands of Shanti. So Dadaji's subtle way of showing Shanti that Radhika is important for their important and they want her as Dev's wife was well done. Liked that Dadaji called Radhika a diamond and showed a bond with her. Too bad Barkha was in that scene too. Also liked that Dadaji made Mansa less conscious about his status by telling him that the money is not an important factor in any shagun and is just a formality. Dev gets this quality from Dadaji.

I liked dadaji today...his conversation with Shanti hinted that Dev has spoken to him about it and h was trying to put Shanti and Mansaram at ease and I liked the diamond comparison with Radhika...shws that he values her. Barkha I am ignoring.

Maheswari's scene was good too as she did feel concern that her son was working like a servant. So she did end up bringing food for him even though she bungled that up too. Liked Mohini, Maheswari and Virat's scene without Barkha this time. So Maheswari is now going to her next plot of getting rid of her servant status while Virat is angry at her for spoiling everything for him. His anger is not because of this tussle between Maheswari and Mohini, but because Maheswari ruined his life. Mohini and Maheswari are at war with each other. These three have good chemistry among them.

Yes liked this scene too...it was more realistic than the artificial one that they showed with Barkha before. These three have good chemistry with each other. Today Virats reaction was more real that his anger at his mother is for ruining his life. That is why Barkhas dialogues last time of driving a wedge between Maheshwari and Virat using Mohini was extremely artificial... this mother and son are quite capable of looking out for their own interest. Virat does not care about Mohini-Maheshwari, he cares about his future.Infact in the earlier scene Barkha was not needed...Maheshwari was sweeping the floor so she could have easily left some water by mistake and Mohini could have slipped because of that...or Mohini could have done that herself, she is quite capable of doing it. Infact the creatives brought down Barkha in the earlier scene...they showed her pouring water, Mohini slipping...Mohini has never harmed her nor has she harmed dadaji or Radhika yet Barkha used her to drive a point...so in one way they showed that Barkha can be quite inhuman if she wants to do something and she hides it under her childish behaviour.

Now except for Dev and Radhika's expressions, everything else was just nuisance. Barkha was dominating the entire conversation. So she went to the room to get Radhika dressed (should have asked Chanda too to accompany them too regardless of Chanda's feelings as Chanda is the sister) and basically took over the Mansa household. Then she again acted as an intermediary in asking for a date for Dev and Radhika. Dev could have done it on his own by asking Dadaji to speak up for him which eventually he did anyway. Barkha was not needed in that conversation at all.

Arreh Angie someone in the creative department (not only the writers but the other background people) is in love with Barkha.They have been hit by the loveria bug.😉😆

The worst part was all the hints that chunnu munnu threw at us. So will the wedding in the ME (Janamastmi) be between Dev and Barkha? Shanti gave the first hint when she told Chanda that Radhika is not Rukmini. So this implies that Radhika would remain a lover and a hidden wife (in eyes of society) of Dev whereas Barkha would be Rukmini. Then Barkha gave Radhika her earrings and told her that they share everything. So earrings for Radhika from Barkha in exchange for Dev to Barkha from Radhika? Chunnu munnu, don't even bring down Radhika's character like this. Your ratings would go down the tube.

maybe thats what their intentions are...to deliberately bring down the ratings so that the show does not survive.

Then, Dadaji talking to Barkha that he has to find a groom for her and find a way to make her stay at PB. Finally, Barkha calling herself a gift in lives of Dev and Radhika as she is present in their lives. Effects of loveria.

Since the society is unaware of this engagement for now and thinks of Radhika as Rohan's wife, the objections would come. Will Dadaji cave in and ask Radhika for the sacrifice the way he did ask Chaya? Then will Radhika give up Dev for his own good and ask Barkha to take her place on Janamastmi.

But then these chunnu munnu ruined CB1 by burning Radhika and letting Vishaka and Amma go scot-free for all their crimes. That time too none of us believed that they would go really show that track.

Angie they showed amma burning Radhika and then made Kanha... said oh he was testing Radhika because she was special...As I have said before are they really interested in making this show a success or are they interested in using this show for someother purpose and the PH and the head honchos in Zee are allowing this ? Best of luck to Zee and DJs.

Anyway, they should realize that viewers watch CB2 because of Dev and Radhika and not because of Barkha. Also viewers are already weary of triangles. The ratings for CB2 fell after Radhika came as a fake wife in name of Kanha. They cannot show us Barkha as either real or fake wife of Dev and assume that viewers would tolerate that. .

Maybe they know that the audience will not tolerate it and hence they are showing it...so that the ratings fall.

Anyway, to end on a good note:

Precap: It was cute between Dev and Radhika. Bholu shyly bringing out the poem he wrote for Phullu. Hopefully, we will have a Barkha free episode.

Lets see.

Acting wise: Not much scope for anybody as it was a filler episode with hints for the coming track (hints were offputting though). But Rubina with her expressions was very good. Avinash didn't have much scope today, but he performed well with expressions and one dialogue that he was given. Again, his wardrobe is questionable. Now that he is heir to the vast property, can't they give him some nice clothes for his own "roka" ceremony rather than a shirt that has been repeated 20 times in the show so far.

Acting I liked both Rubi and Avinash and I also liked Shanti.

yeah i hated the dialogue Barkha uses " jo tera hai woh mera hi, aur jo mera hai woh tera hai" just so sick. gosh dont know where this is going, but it was totally pathetic.
