This week in Parichayland.

Whew! What a week it's been in Parichay land. 👍🏼The story on hindsight progressed swiftly and we got to see Kunal and Siddhi's relationship reach a new comfort level.👍🏼 To show this evolution, we have had every possible scene ' from the ridiculous to the banal and every possible emotion ' from desperation to relief and love to hate explored.👏 There have been highs and lows production wise, so I'm going to try and summarize what I thought of the scenes and what could have been better. I am going to leave out bloopers since we have members with more wit and humor than me to cover those.😆 I'm also leaving out all the Thakrals' scenes since they were uniformly hilarious what with the family turning against each other, Richa getting slapped not once but twice and going crazier every second as events unfolded contrary to her plans.🤣 Please leave comments if you have the patience to reach the end.

The Good:

1. The best scene over the past week: Mr. Kunal Chopra sitting at his unconscious wife's bedside, gently saying, "Aye, jaago na." and everything that followed, every single line of dialogue and every emotion on Sameer Soni's face was perfect.👏 It was heartbreaking to see this fearless character so calmly helpless.😭 Great job writers for simple, yet beautiful dialogues and Sammy who gave a restrained performance with precise voice modulation, not a word OTT. 👏Until the end of course. I personally hated the end where he started screeching "Hey Bhagwan" and shaking Siddhi 😡but I say thanks for the first part and bear it. Even the part where he is standing the corridor oblivious to the world around was heartbreaking. 😭

2. Mr. and Mrs. Chopra meeting each other when she regains consciousness. ❤️Right from the time the doctor gives him the news ' the relief on his face was graceful and not dramatic👏- until crazy momma walked in, the most beautiful eye lock I have seen in a while.☺️ Forget about communicating through their eyes, I think they were just so happy to be quietly in each others' presence after everything that had happened.☺️ Both their expressions matched each other. The deep breath from Siddhi when Kunal holds her hand, followed by a gentle smile. Him caressing her hair. Simple, yet emotional. Nice job actors.👏

3. The no-confession confession on the bus when they admit through their nok jhok that everything that they do is for each other. Sweet, simple, funny dialogues and extremely good dialogue delivery. Keerti who is normally somewhat off with her dialogues did a great job with timing in this scene.👏 I loved her line "Aur aap to ekdam Kunal se daanveer Karan hi ban gaye. Yeh lo ji le lo, CD le lo aur meri biwi ko chod do."😆 The suppressed smiles at the end were alright but the most natural thing was her falling asleep on his shoulder and him hugging her. 🤗

4. Aapne mujeh miss kiya? ☺️If there was something wrong about this scene it was the fact that it was shot using BDs. 😡Otherwise it was short and sweet. The knowledge that he loved her had given Siddhi the courage to prod him. I loved her directness and the eagerness and hope on her face.❤️ The smile which Kunal gave in response indicated that he understood what she was doing and was willing to relent but ' the kidnappers got there just then.😡

5. The nok jhok at the dhaba. What can I say? Loved the fact that Kunal heard what Siddhi said about love in an arranged marriage. 👍🏼And loved her hesitation afterwards, wondering whether he heard it or not, wishing that he had and poking him to say something about it.☺️

6. Teri Deewani. 🤗I am going to put this one on the good list simply because I love this song and I loved Siddhi's expressions.👍🏼 She has just been through a harrowing experience the only good thing in which has been her discovery that her husband loves her. So she is just enjoying the experience of basking in his love and care. She has completely surrendered to the moment. Kunal was a trifle OTT; the concern was good but I felt the fear on his face was too much.

7. The SiNal conversation on Friday. It was good to have Mr. Akadu back after the emotional turmoil that he has been through.😃 It was good to see the banter between them. 😃Great to see Siddhi gently taunting him to get him to accept that he loves her. And of course Kunal isn't going to give in which is fine but as Fari said on another post, why was he going all the way back with dialogues like "tum sab ho na mere saath"? Why not just "tum ho na mere saath"? Why pretend like things haven't changed at all when they in fact have? What I loved about this scene though was the serenity between them, the comfort, the calm which was missing for the past week what with all the excitement.☺️

8. The Chopra family comes to the hospital. Loved Raj in this scene. Loved the way the whole family stood by Kunal. Loved the Seema Kunal conversation.👍🏼

9. The Chopra family waiting for news at home. Very realistic scene with discussions about what could be happening with Kunal Siddhi. What if scenarios discussed, small arguments between family members, people supporting each other. I seriously love the way this family is depicted without any kitchen politics.👍🏼

The Okay:

1. Kunal carrying Siddhi. Seriously? 😡They want to do this clichd scene again? This is not what SiNal is all about. What SiNal is about is the banter that preceded and that is the only reason this scene is in the okay category ' because at least the writers tried to SiNalize (hey that's a new word!) the whole situation.😆 I hated the falling, holding eye lock.😡 Really if I wanted to see that I would watch another show on another channel which shows this scene almost every day. What would have been awesome is if she had actually fallen and then Kunal lifted her up and said "Chodo mein utha hi leta hoon, phir gir gayi to problem ho jaayegi." That would have been better. That being said, I did like how Siddhi was enjoying the ride and then the way Kunal dumped her when he realized what she was doing.😆

2. Do pal ruka.😭 This scene had no purpose other than to fill the 3.5 minute gap at the end of show so that they could end the episode in an uncertain manner thus ensuring that people would tune in despite the IPL ceremony the next day. Still I liked the fact that I got a quick recollection of all the SiNal scenes.👍🏼

3. Awake in the jungle. I liked how Siddhi and Kunal awoke and instinctively checked for the other person's welfare.☺️ Kunal especially making sure that Siddhi didn't get hit and checking her all over. After Siddhi passed out, Kunal shouting for help was okay and then constantly saying "sona nahin, hum ghar jaayenge" and walking determinedly was good.👍🏼 But I hated him tearing his shirt and tying her up. How clichd.👎🏼 If he really wanted to stop the blood, he should have torn her saree and got a bigger piece of cloth. And I hated Kunal crying and saying the dialogue "Main mar jaunga." Please, the writers could have done better and the performance could have been less melodramatic.👎🏼

The Ugly:

1. Perhaps the ugliest scene of them all. 👎🏼Kunal Chopra at the highway with his dying wife in his arms shouting out to God that he can't live without her and asking God to take his life and spare her. Forget how clichd it is. Even forget that I don't understand, as Chithra said elsewhere, why God would be interested in bartering a life. This was not Kunal Chopra.👎🏼 It was Balaji Telefilms' version of Kunal Chopra playing to the galleries. Kunal Chopra would never be so desperate, he would never beg, he might hold God's collar (sorry don't intend to offend anyone here, it's a metaphor) and make him spare is wife's life. But he would not shout and scream and screech like a village bumpkin.😡 I hated the scene. Tried watching it multiple times to see if it grew on me, but it didn't. The only dialogues that I liked were Kunal softly saying, "Main ise bata bhi nahin paya." The gentle desperation in his voice was beautiful. And the other was "Main ise jaane nahin doonga." A painful reference to Anand's untimely death. 👍🏼

2. At the PCO. What were the CVs thinking? Kunal Chopra fighting goons off like Bachchan and randomly firing a gun?👎🏼 This is not a 70s Hindi movie after all. 😡

3. Falling off a cliff. Too filmy for my taste. 👎🏼Goons trying to separate the two, Kunal falling on Siddhi at the last minute and then both of them falling off a cliff. Too much drama. 😡

4. The cops telling Raj that his children might be dead. I expected better from Raj. Beating his head and crying?👎🏼 It's too old-fashioned for this strong character. 👎🏼Simple crying would have sufficed.

Having laid out the ugly I do understand that the production house is trying very hard to maintain a balance between TRPs and a quality product. This is a daily soap after all. The writers have a hard job writing beautiful scenes every day. And for the most part they are doing a good job. So thank you for that.👏 The CVs are also trying to maintain a good pace for the show. Over the last week especially I appreciate that despite building a suspense they didn't succumb to the usual tracks of amnesia/coma/begging God again and so on. 👏They kept events moving at a brisk pace and against all expectations Siddhi woke up on Thursday. So thank you for that as well. 👏The technical part has been lacking ' editing, dubbing, camera work has been shoddy off late and needs improvement.👎🏼 But in all, it was an interesting week with many memorable moments.👏👍🏼 I'm looking forward to a quick wrap up of the case next week and no pregnancy from their first time, but only later please.😡

Annie🤗 you made it finally!

3. The no-confession confession on the bus when they admit through their nok jhok that everything that they do is for each other. Sweet, simple, funny dialogues and extremely good dialogue delivery.

4. Aapne mujeh miss kiya? ☺️If there was something wrong about this scene it was the fact that it was shot using BDs. 😡Otherwise it was short and sweet. The knowledge that he loved her had given Siddhi the courage to prod him. I loved her directness and the eagerness and hope on her face.❤️ The smile which Kunal gave in response indicated that he understood what she was doing and was willing to relent but ' the kidnappers got there just then.😡Loved Siddhi here, You could feel her heart thump with anticipation as she held her breath waiting for his answer.

5. The nok jhok at the dhaba. What can I say? Loved the fact that Kunal heard what Siddhi said about love in an arranged marriage. 👍🏼And loved her hesitation afterwards, wondering whether he heard it or not, wishing that he had and poking him to say something about it.☺️

I didnt like this one, she knows he loves her, does she want him to know that she loves him too or does she want him to continue thinking that she is still pining for Anand? This particular scene almost made it look as if she hoped he hadnt heard her.

6. Teri Deewani. 🤗I am going to put this one on the good list simply because I love this song and I loved Siddhi's expressions.👍🏼 She has just been through a harrowing experience the only good thing in which has been her discovery that her husband loves her.

Kunal was a trifle OTT; the concern was good but I felt the fear on his face was too much. Agreed, a tad over done, but I'll take this OTT-ness anyday to that calmly mournful mooning from a previous episode🤢

7. The SiNal conversation on Friday. It was good to have Mr. Akadu back after the emotional turmoil that he has been through.😃 It was good to see the banter between them. 😃Great to see Siddhi gently taunting him to get him to accept that he loves her.

What I loved about this scene though was the serenity between them, the comfort, the calm which was missing for the past week what with all the excitement.☺️ Yes the comfort level has evidently increased, but given that just a few hours ago, he was wrecked & distraught, it was odd to see him sit there & not let a single emotion through. There was one more thing that I found inconsistant here...during the gujju picnic episode Siddhi said to herself that she finds it hard to read his expressions, that she can never tell what he is thinking, yet in this scene she tells him she can read his face😕 Common cvs, a little follow through is all I ask for. Anyways, Im ready for the drag & pull in this love story, bcz how else will they sustain our interest?

8. The Chopra family comes to the hospital. Loved Raj in this scene. Loved the way the whole family stood by Kunal. Loved the Seema Kunal conversation.👍🏼

9. The Chopra family waiting for news at home. Very realistic scene with discussions about what could be happening with Kunal Siddhi.

That being said, I did like how Siddhi was enjoying the ride and then the way Kunal dumped her when he realized what she was doing.😆 But the other show on another channel has high TRPs, doesnt it?😛 A little bit for everyone, is EK's motto. Cut across age & social barriers & reach the masses, that's what she is doing. You & I & a few others will like the silent, subtle scenes, many others love the loud, screaming cliched dialogue wala scenes & the fall & catch eyelocks. It cant be easy, catering to all of us😆

2. Do pal ruka.😭 This scene had no purpose other than to fill the 3.5 minute gap at the end of show so that they could end the episode in an uncertain manner thus ensuring that people would tune in despite the IPL ceremony the next day. Still I liked the fact that I got a quick recollection of all the SiNal scenes.👍🏼 Nail biting suspense, that was the only purpose😉

3. Awake in the jungle.

All of the above, 1,2&3 were playing to the galleries, en-mass. Erm, say what you like, there is still a large section out there that likes those Bachchan-like scenes from the 70s

4. The cops telling Raj that his children might be dead. I expected better from Raj. Beating his head and crying?👎🏼 It's too old-fashioned for this strong character. 👎🏼Simple crying would have sufficed. You forgot the one from the cop...kidnappers unki dead bodies bhi le gaye🤣

Why do I feel that's not gonna happen😕

Annie🤗 you made it finally!
Yes ... Finally!
If there is one scene that should get him the next best actor award, it is this one.
Whole heartedly agree.
Except for the last "thank you Sddhi, wapas aane ke liye" It was obviously dubbed separately & didnt quite seem part of the scene.
Yes I thought that was unnecessary too but let it go. At least he wasn't screeching 😆
5. The nok jhok at the dhaba. What can I say? Loved the fact that Kunal heard what Siddhi said about love in an arranged marriage. 👍🏼And loved her hesitation afterwards, wondering whether he heard it or not, wishing that he had and poking him to say something about it.☺️

I didnt like this one, she knows he loves her, does she want him to know that she loves him too or does she want him to continue thinking that she is still pining for Anand? This particular scene almost made it look as if she hoped he hadnt heard her.

I agree it made it look like she hoped he hadn't head, but there was room for doubt and so I choose to believe that she was hoping he had heard her and not the other way around. Cancerian see 😉

6. Teri Deewani. 🤗I am going to put this one on the good list simply because I love this song and I loved Siddhi's expressions.👍🏼 She has just been through a harrowing experience the only good thing in which has been her discovery that her husband loves her. So she is just enjoying the experience of basking in his love and care. She has completely surrendered to the moment. Kunal was a trifle OTT; the concern was good but I felt the fear on his face was too much. Agreed, a tad over done, but I'll take this OTT-ness anyday to that calmly mournful mooning from a previous episode🤢

Hey that was below the belt, because you know I would take the mournful mooning anyday 😆

7. The SiNal conversation on Friday.

Anyways, Im ready for the drag & pull in this love story, bcz how else will they sustain our interest?

I agree he wasn't letting a single emotion through. That's what I meant when I said why go all the way back - I meant emotionally. The least he can do is accept they have been through a lot and things have changed a little. Why act like they just came back from a walk in the park?

But the other show on another channel has high TRPs, doesnt it?😛 A little bit for everyone, is EK's motto. Cut across age & social barriers & reach the masses, that's what she is doing. You & I & a few others will like the silent, subtle scenes, many others love the loud, screaming cliched dialogue wala scenes & the fall & catch eyelocks. It cant be easy, catering to all of us😆

Guess what Fari, I recently noticed that other show's TRPs have been drastically falling so may be people do get bored of the whole falling routine😆 But I do recognize what you are saying about catering to a varied audience and respect that it is a difficult proposition. So we have to take what we get with lots of salt😉

Dont you know, a man tearing a woman's sari is tantamount to rape, in our movies, bechara Kunu, he is already fighting one charge🤣

🤣

All of the above, 1,2&3 were playing to the galleries, en-mass. Erm, say what you like, there is still a large section out there that likes those Bachchan-like scenes from the 70s

Oh I love 70s Bachchan style scenes too. But not in a show set in the 2000s 😡

I'm looking forward to a quick wrap up of the case next week and no pregnancy from their first time, but only later please.😡

Why do I feel that's not gonna happen😕

Yeah yeah I know.

First do this every week if you can Annie, it was really nice reading about the highs and lows of the week!!!😃

Siddhi has progressed far ahead in the relation , infact she seems to be all set to get him to speak up, she even says openly 'main aapko akela nahin chod sakti' but our akadu 😡.But I feel that dialogue could have been presented better with a significant pause between the 'tum and 'sab'.
Definitely that dialogue was incongruous after all they had been through.


Having laid out the ugly I do understand that the production house is trying very hard to maintain a balance between TRPs and a quality product. This is a daily soap after all. The writers have a hard job writing beautiful scenes every day. And for the most part they are doing a good job. So thank you for that.👏 The CVs are also trying to maintain a good pace for the show.

@bold can never thank them enough fo this , but the again since 'katra ab tak tali nahin hain' I withhold my 'thanks' !!!😆

Arre Chithra don't talk like this

The best scene over the past week: Mr. Kunal Chopra sitting at his unconscious wife's bedside, gently saying, "Aye, jaago na." and everything that followed, every single line of dialogue and every emotion on Sameer Soni's face was perfect.👏 It was heartbreaking to see this fearless character so calmly helpless.😭 Great job writers for simple, yet beautiful dialogues and Sammy who gave a restrained performance with precise voice modulation, not a word OTT. 👏Until the end of course. I personally hated the end where he started screeching "Hey Bhagwan" and shaking Siddhi 😡but I say thanks for the first part and bear it. Even the part where he is standing the corridor oblivious to the world around was heartbreaking. 😭

I would like to just FF the last segment. 😃.. But to their credit.. it was a gradual progression from a sad person who had hopes, who tried to someone who was finally helpless and desparate..and he did what was in his hands... the corridor scene was good too..

2. Mr. and Mrs. Chopra meeting each other when she regains consciousness. ❤️Right from the time the doctor gives him the news ' the relief on his face was graceful and not dramatic👏- until crazy momma walked in, the most beautiful eye lock I have seen in a while.☺️ Forget about communicating through their eyes, I think they were just so happy to be quietly in each others' presence after everything that had happened.☺️ Both their expressions matched each other. The deep breath from Siddhi when Kunal holds her hand, followed by a gentle smile. Him caressing her hair. Simple, yet emotional. Nice job actors.👏

For a change I liked Siddhi more here more than Kunal😉. And I wonder if any other serials have shown such silent scenes...Amongst us I know we dont watch that many serials..but I doubt such silent scenes lasting over a minute are shown!!!

3. The no-confession confession on the bus when they admit through their nok jhok that everything that they do is for each other. Sweet, simple, funny dialogues and extremely good dialogue delivery. Keerti who is normally somewhat off with her dialogues did a great job with timing in this scene.👏 I loved her line "Aur aap to ekdam Kunal se daanveer Karan hi ban gaye. Yeh lo ji le lo, CD le lo aur meri biwi ko chod do."😆 The suppressed smiles at the end were alright but the most natural thing was her falling asleep on his shoulder and him hugging her. 🤗

Very true, the yeh lo ji...was so nice.. I am not sure what was good abt those lines..but she looked so nice mouthing them !!! I didnt like their suppressed smiles though..didnt look genuine..but thik hai !!!! But on the whole, i liked the bus scene more than the teri deewani !!!! 😉

4. Aapne mujeh miss kiya? ☺️If there was something wrong about this scene it was the fact that it was shot using BDs. 😡Otherwise it was short and sweet. The knowledge that he loved her had given Siddhi the courage to prod him. I loved her directness and the eagerness and hope on her face.❤️ The smile which Kunal gave in response indicated that he understood what she was doing and was willing to relent but ' the kidnappers got there just then.😡

I agree, there were BDs, I noticed too..And also the knowledge gave Siddhi the courage, for once she knew the answers and just wanted him to say it out loud

5. The nok jhok at the dhaba. What can I say? Loved the fact that Kunal heard what Siddhi said about love in an arranged marriage. 👍🏼And loved her hesitation afterwards, wondering whether he heard it or not, wishing that he had and poking him to say something about it.☺️

Dhaba scene was good in Kunal saying, love marriage is bachi se..it was more like..i haev to take care of her so much, she is so immature 😉

6. Teri Deewani. 🤗I am going to put this one on the good list simply because I love this song and I loved Siddhi's expressions.👍🏼 She has just been through a harrowing experience the only good thing in which has been her discovery that her husband loves her. So she is just enjoying the experience of basking in his love and care. She has completely surrendered to the moment. Kunal was a trifle OTT; the concern was good but I felt the fear on his face was too much.

Agree, Kunal was OTT i mean, i was like how was he able to show such scared expressions..the kidnappers should have been shown little more crueler to warrant such expressions !!! And hte scene could have been little shorter !!!

7. The SiNal conversation on Friday. It was good to have Mr. Akadu back after the emotional turmoil that he has been through.😃 It was good to see the banter between them. 😃Great to see Siddhi gently taunting him to get him to accept that he loves her. And of course Kunal isn't going to give in which is fine but as Fari said on another post, why was he going all the way back with dialogues like "tum sab ho na mere saath"? Why not just "tum ho na mere saath"? Why pretend like things haven't changed at all when they in fact have? What I loved about this scene though was the serenity between them, the comfort, the calm which was missing for the past week what with all the excitement.☺️

I think he was just feeling shy..give the guy some space guys..😉

And Siddhi also knows it..the only thing pending is vocally telling ..!!!

When he says, sirf yeh kamra badla hai, tum aur main nahi..he meant sab badal gaya hai...His verbal confession when both are in senses is the trp gainer..so aise hi hospital mein thodi dikhayenge

8. The Chopra family comes to the hospital. Loved Raj in this scene. Loved the way the whole family stood by Kunal. Loved the Seema Kunal conversation.👍🏼

9. The Chopra family waiting for news at home. Very realistic scene with discussions about what could be happening with Kunal Siddhi. What if scenarios discussed, small arguments between family members, people supporting each other. I seriously love the way this family is depicted without any kitchen politics.👍🏼

The Okay:

1. Kunal carrying Siddhi. Seriously? 😡They want to do this clichd scene again? This is not what SiNal is all about. What SiNal is about is the banter that preceded and that is the only reason this scene is in the okay category ' because at least the writers tried to SiNalize (hey that's a new word!) the whole situation.😆 I hated the falling, holding eye lock.😡 Really if I wanted to see that I would watch another show on another channel which shows this scene almost every day. What would have been awesome is if she had actually fallen and then Kunal lifted her up and said "Chodo mein utha hi leta hoon, phir gir gayi to problem ho jaayegi." That would have been better. That being said, I did like how Siddhi was enjoying the ride and then the way Kunal dumped her when he realized what she was doing.😆

I think I can pardon the lifting, but the eyelock was too much and honestly in such scenes I pity the actors, what must they be feeling while shooting such scenes, funny, ridiculous, embarassing !!!

2. Do pal ruka.😭 This scene had no purpose other than to fill the 3.5 minute gap at the end of show so that they could end the episode in an uncertain manner thus ensuring that people would tune in despite the IPL ceremony the next day. Still I liked the fact that I got a quick recollection of all the SiNal scenes.👍🏼

3. Awake in the jungle. I liked how Siddhi and Kunal awoke and instinctively checked for the other person's welfare.☺️ Kunal especially making sure that Siddhi didn't get hit and checking her all over. After Siddhi passed out, Kunal shouting for help was okay and then constantly saying "sona nahin, hum ghar jaayenge" and walking determinedly was good.👍🏼 But I hated him tearing his shirt and tying her up. How clichd.👎🏼 If he really wanted to stop the blood, he should have torn her saree and got a bigger piece of cloth. And I hated Kunal crying and saying the dialogue "Main mar jaunga." Please, the writers could have done better and the performance could have been less melodramatic.👎🏼

All the others, are just for TRP..and more so the do pal,,I think in films there is still some suspense, but here we know that nothing will happen to them so these scenes, song lose or fail to create the charm...

and i forgot to add, not jsut the ok/ugly..our good ones matched too I think always..didnt know you didnt like teri deewani either..I thought I was one of the few odd ones out !!!! 😃

Annie ,

SINAL nok-jhok as always was good..
I was missing ayee for a long time now. o when he finaay said ayee utho na...i was like at last..I wish he uses more of ayye..I just love it when he address sidhi as ayee...
The best scene was Kunal speaking to unconscious Sidhi..Sammy voice modulation, the dialogues everything about the scene was awesome..he really deserves award for this ...
For me kunal and richa confrontation could have been better ..though loved the way he held her gardan and also when he said that until he is there nothing would happen to her...but expected more dialogues and fireworks from that scene...
Seema and richa confrontation was good..
Rohit slapping Richa was awesome..
