The CV's decided to go to the drama route inorder to salvage TRP's and the show. Unfortunately we have moved from 1st to the 3rd in the slot. My blame is their ignorance to the audience pulse and killing the essence of the show and characters.
The property saving act and Ram's non belief of his wife's words are a ripoff of the classic KS. So much for creativity. It never fitted then and it's a worse fit now. Here are my reasons.
Ram Kapoor needs evidence is the popular argument. Ram Kapoor needs to wake up and recognize the ride he has been taken by the evil trio has been a regular complaint.
For both cases, the property approach is the biggest flawed direction.
1)Ram was never shown to value wealth more than the relationships. It didn't matter that his Dad suffered losses. It hurt more that his mom deserted his dad when he needed the most.
This was conveyed to Priya on the Jan 10th.
2)During Vikram's haar issue, it didn't matter that Vikram needed money. He was more hurt even talking about it. Remember he didn't let his family run over Vikram inspite of the evidence.He was going to handle it himself and that uncomfortable convo is still one of the best guilt talk in the show. If Vikram wanted, he would have given him all the money in the world. Again indicating the unimportance of wealth.Priya has personally seen him suffer for even having a conversation to Vikram closely than anyone else.
3) He wanted the most lavish wedding not for himself but his Choti. It was more important that Sudhirji maintained his self respect and did what he could do. Ram would simply follow and adjust. It was not about money.
4)If wealth ever mattered, he would have kept his companies in his name. Vikram's revelation to Priya that he has nothing against his name but the only one they had for themselves was the Pharma company. Btw.. That was enough to feed them for generations.
5) He is an emotional fool in the matter of relationships. Blinded trust for his family has always been the case for the past 20 years. I don't know why since it has not been revealed, but he values relationships closer to him. The others don't matter. That's the reason there was so much time that passed by before he acknowledged Priya and her love.
6) Is he aware that his step family doesn't value him as much? YES and Yes. Watch the episode 1 and the kanyadaan's of both Ishika and Nutz. Does that matter? NO. He was holding on to the last relationship that he had when his mom deserted him.
What was the smart decision to do here? Run after wealth and property to do a ladai for fairness or to make their relationship stronger?. This is the major flaw and it fits worse since Priya has always been a person who found happiness in smaller things. The wishes week is an excellent portrayal of it.The fact that she was going to put her relationship at stake over getting Ram's share of wealth now speaks so little for her trust and knowledge of what's priority for him. By making Ram behave like a child all of a sudden and trying to make Priya a superwoman /sacrifical lamb who will rescue him from the clutches of Niharika just killed the essence of both the characters.
