After two weeks of cringing while watching KHTV, this week's episodes came as a breath of relief. Clearly the Sony people are taking notice of viewers' feedback and making efforts to improve. The highs of this week, according to me are:
1. The marriage counselling thing was the MOST sensible twist till date! I strongly believe that in such situations it's far better to take professional help rather than rely on friends and relatives as mediators, who will have their own set of biases. Whether this succeeds in bringing Mona and Pradeep together in the end (I hope not!), at least their final decision will be based on a rational analysis of their 12 years of togetherness and not on pressure from their families or the 'majboori' of taking care of their kids.
2. Suhasi is compelled to admit that her son is also at fault! Yayyy!!! High time! Anushka's mom was completely right in her stand--it's Pradeep who is the fraud. Any mom would be aghast at her pretty, rich and successful daughter throwing herself away on a married man with three kids, who could not be loyal to his own wife.
3. The Punjabi vs. Bengali and Anushka getting annoyed over Pradeep's Katrina fixation were funny scenes without being nasty.
4. I'm so glad Mona ticked off her MIL for spoiling the kids! Both Suhasi and Pammi are Nosy Parkers who need to get a life fast. Pammi would be better off working on her own marriage rather than trying to save another's.
5. Anushka's character has gone from borderline psychotic to comic vamp. Anushka's acting braces up the whole act...kudos!!
6. Mona does not seem in any hurry to get Pradeep back. Great. With Vineet's re-entry, hopefully there is no chance of them getting back together. And she finally has a JOB!!
7. Finally, Taani and Madhav get some footage.
Of course there are low points too. The entire butler track was suited for the IQ of a 5-year old; and the kids need to stop behaving like brats. Hoping that the story improves even further.
