Paayaal,

Loved your post. so agree on your 20/20... not much logic in the expressions or the characters themselves...

I actually liked the episode. If they had to make it appear as though Anjali is on the verge of losing her life to get Shyam back, so be it. I will take it at face value. Do I agree with khushi's decision? Hell no! Do I understand where Khushi is coming from? Probably a bit. Khushi has always been known to be impulsive. She acts first, and thinks later. She also always thinks from her heart. Here, she was the only one who knew why Anjali was doing better the previous night. She realized that Anjali would improve only if she got her Shyamji back. So, without worrying about the consequences (read Arnav's reaction), she set out to get Shyam back. At this point, she is only thinking about di's health, and nothing else. Does she then have a very short term memory? Of course. Because only Khushi can forget that he tried to murder her husband and herself not so long ago. Him lusting after her is a non-issue compared to that!

I am glad Shyam is back in the house. At least, Anjali drama will end now and she can happily participate in all the wedding festivities. And, we the viewers can get some respite from her, and get our fair share of Arnav and Khushi!...this is what we're all hoping & waiting for Bidz...if not for this 1 optimistic thot garnered from tht precap...😆I would like to point out that though we know that Arnav has done the right thing by ousting Shyam, the way he did it was less than practical. Until Anjali believes it from her heart, it is impossible to truly get rid of him from Anjali's life. No one knows how low he can stoop. Arnav knows that he tried to kill him and betrayed his di. He still doesn't know how he molested Khushi. No one in the family has really seen any proof against all the insinuations against him. They just took Arnav's word for it, but we saw in as recent as last week's episode, how that faith in Arnav (and therefore Khushi) was flickering in both Akash and Mami's mind. Of course, no one in the family knows that he is a cold blooded murderer. So, for khushi to really be absolved of all the blame, he was definitely needed back. So, I say bring it on. It is going to be explosive to watch Shyam and Arnav in the same frame...👍🏼

That said, I am now more than ready for some passion, romance and a grand wedding with all its finery...aren't v all...

Anjali - I have nothing to say about her. She is using the weapons that she knows is effective. What I have got to say is about this family. What are they doing? They are making those weapons work. When a two years old throws tantrums, the family ignores him or make him sit on the punishment seat and no one talks to him. So he knows not to throw tantrums.

What this family is doing? Constantly fawning over her and creating pressure on Arnav and Khushi to act accordingly. And by the way, Arnav himself is equally guilty.

Arnav - Arnav never wants to look bad in front of his family.

He did not tell anyone the circumstances of Khushi and his wedding six months ago even when Khushi was being termed as gold digger. Why?

He did not tell anyone what Khushi had gone through including making her sleep on the poolside in the freezing nights of February in Delhi's infamous cold.

He did not reveal to anyone that he himself was witness to Shyam revealing that he does not love his Di. Why?

Today, Khushi brought Shyam home, but he did not throw him out saying that this person is not allowed in my house. Why?

Everytime, he lets Khushi take the blame for something he did and all he shows for his contribution is to tell people don't insult my wife, proving himself a great husband just duped by a clever and scheming wife.

Khushi - Everyone of her wedding function is tainted because of something or other Anjali did.

Roka - Anjali got sick, the family started fawning over her,

Mehendi - God bharai/miscarriage,

Sangeet - what sangeet? never happened.

Wedding - may be anjali will slip into coma...

She looked forward to her wedding all her life and not a single memory Anjali left untainted. On top of that the man she loves is also fawning over Anjali including the household. Nobody cares that one woman's selfish act is ruining another woman's dreams. No one wants to send Anjali to her husband's house. No, she has to stay at RM and make everyone miserable with her non-stop drama and demands.

So today she had to bring Shyam back. You tell me how long you can take Anjali's daily melodrama and whining?

Anjali won't let anyone to be happy until she gets what she wants. Her beloved brother's wedding which apparently she planned for ages is put on hold because of her, but she does not care.

Arnav won't start his life until his Di is happy. So what could Khushi do?

I want Khushi to stand up to ASR tomorrow and say, "Shut the hell up. You are ruining my life because you can't see beyond your whining crybaby. I tolerated everything you dished out for six months. But when it came my turn to be happy, what did you do? Your selfish Di ruined every one of my wedding memory. You think I can look back to my Mehendi without remembering her miscarriage? There is not a single happy memory I can remember which was not messed up by your attention grabbing Di and your family's constant catering to her whim.

So yes I brought that cheater back because I want to get on with my life. But this is your house, throw him out if you want. Why did not you?

You either send your Di to her husband and shut her complaint permanently or stop freaking fawning over her. Enough is enough...👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Welcome to Director's Cut...

Hey All,

I am back after my short break... and bringing to you all yet another edition of the Director's Cut...

When I left town... Arnav and Khushi were romancing and flirting with each other, wedding preparations full on... Roka was done, and Mehendi was about to begin... Anjali was happy for her brother !

Now, when I came back... I found Anjali crying yet again, Shyam back in RM and another MU simpering between Arnav and Khushi and no sign of marriage?

They say a pic says a thousand words... so here's one for you all, this is how I feel after 2 weeks of vacations...

Iss Confusion ko Kya Naam Doon?

For those of you, who have read me regularly... know my fondness for Anjali Jha's character ! She has been one of the most difficult, yet intriguing character to decipher. Even when DC decided to do a 1st person point of view.. I took upon the difficult job of justifying Anjali's Character from her point of view and tried my best to put myself in her shoes... ahh well, one shoe and one sandal (I even ignored the fact that if she could REMOVE the shoe brace and walk through the whole house without it... what was the need of it in the first place) ... and tried to see things from her point of view !

Yes, I knew she was selfish and manipulative... but I always sympathized with her situation and tried to justify her as a wife and as a sister ! But, for the first time... I could not feel any sympathy for Anjali, the mother, who just a couple of days ago lost her unborn child... her first child... yet, she hasn't even once thought of something more than her beloved Shyam Ji?

A woman losing her child is no laughing matter, it's trauma for any woman, specially if it's a first child ! Yet, Anjali felt only one day of remorse for the loss of her child and for the rest of the days, all she wanted was to be with her husband !!! This, as a woman, is a little difficult for me to digest !

Yes, I get it that she has been pampered beyond limits and everyone in the Raizada family has always been over protective towards her... so much so that she lost her sense of right and wrong over the period. I can understand that... but for a grown woman to even think of, let alone openly accuse the family - a family that has always kept her needs above theirs ; a family that has sacrificed time and again so that she can be happy - that family as "showing off" their love for her... is a little too much to handle even for an optimist like me !!!

The woman is supposed to be sick, coping with the loss of her child... not only mentally but physically too... yet Anjali Jha had the time to put so much mascara and a dark shade of lipstick... so that when her Shyam Ji visits, she should look prim and proper ! Whatever happened to subtleness in makeup ??



While cribbing about the episode during our chat sessions, Megha (meghavn) said something about Khushi's dresses that made me think ! Thanks Megha... for pointing out the following:

There used to be a time when IPK was unpredictable... I mean, leave the episode on a cliffhanger, and then the guessing game used to begin ! If there were a 100 predictions from the viewers, the CVs used to come up with a 101st googly and pleasantly surprise the viewers ! But now a days, we can predict the episode just by looking at the female lead's dress... Didn't get it? Here, let me explain...

If Khushi is wearing a Pink Dress... it means separation from Arnav !



If She is wearing a Blue Suit... She is about to commit suicide... physically or Mentally (by thinking of bringing back Shyam)



If there is a Purple Dress... the one she was wearing today (and as per the precap will be wearing tomorrow as well) we should expect a big argument between Arnav and Khushi... just the way he blamed her for all the wrong doings in Anjali's life the day she tried to abort her child... yep, you guessed it right... Khushi was wearing the same dress !



Red brings in trouble for Khushi... If Green brings in passion (Teri Meri song or the missed kisses), then White brings in subtle romance... Go have a look at old episodes... if you don't believe me !

That's it for me for today guys... I apologize if my come back post sounds like a rant to you all... but IPK set the standards real high for me... and it actually hurts me, as a dedicated viewer of the show, to see the PH making blunder after blunder !

As Scarlet O' Hara famously said... After all, tomorrow is another Day !

So here's hoping for a better tomorrow !

DEATH OF CREATIVITY

nayak nahi khaknayak hoon mein

zulmi bada dukh dayak hoon mein

hai pyaar kya mujhko kya khabar

bas yaar nafrat ke layak hoon mein

"humein aisa kyon lag raha hai ki saale sahab humein khud lene aayenge "

yea right .. sure dude .. dream on .. i mean it is as far fetched a thot as Akash coming to get you .. come on guy .. thank ur stars for the small mercy ... small wonder .. small chance ... KHUSHI ...

_______________________________

Finally Anjali delivered on her promise .. she finally went on a NO food diet .. no water diet .. no medicine diet .. great ... atleast she lived upto her promise ..

Ques 1: she is on drip .. can meds not be fed to her from there .. neways post a gynae operation the first day solids are not administered .. u r given sustenance through drip ... which she is on .. SO .. Dear Mr. Maker .. how can not eating be a problem .. in one day after she lost her child ???

Anjali .. a mother no more .. who lost her child .. 8 days back

(serial time) .. & in these 8 days .. she has mourned for her child twice .. once in hospital .. once in RM .. & since then she has been constantly asking for her husband .. or sneakily meeting her husband ..

Ques 2: Anjali a mother who has lost her kid .. ( 7 months still born child) & u have as yet shown her remember her baby only twice .. now Dear Mr. maker .. how do you expect your audience to connect with her .. how do u expect ur audience to NOT "bash" the woman .. who has no VISIBLE emotional upheaval of loosing her child??

Khushi .. i seriously get it .. why she has to be the one to bring Shyam home .. its part of the future of the track .. i understand the importance of this .. so she feels for Anjali .. a woman who needs sustenance .. & is not taking it . being compounded by the nurse adding in her 2 bit .. so i get it she goes to bring Shyam ..

Ques 3: Now my ques to you mr. maker here is .. when u show Khushi in her monologue .. do u not want to show her actually reminising .. on how Shyam tried to kill the MAN she loves .. HER SUHAAG .. how heinous Shyam is NO ONE but KHUSHI knows .. so what kind of a monologue was ur audience expecting .. shudnt it have been her torn between doing the right by Di .. & her thinking for a minute .. what it cud mean to Arnav .. the MAN Shyam tried to kill the Man who is her HUSBAND ..

How do u expect ur audience to digest this .. when treatment is so wrong ???

NOW Mr. Maker .. lets c . what in this one week was need of the hour ..

1. We your audience would've appreciated .. a completely broken Anjali .. not an Anjali .. who at the drop of her hat comes onto her husband .. an Anjali .. who would've struggled with her loss .. wud've wanted to STOP EATING .. FOR THE LOSS OF HER KID .. an anjali ... who is devoid of emotions IN SHOCK .. not at all talking...except to mumble her husband name ... . & to break this SHOCK .. THE DOCTOR SAYS SHE WUD NEED HER HUSBAND .. & a family broken .. not knowing how to proceed ...

This justifies Shyam coming into RM as well .. & also .. paves way for a logical post still delivery trauma .. It also justifies .. Anjali ... & ur audience who is struggling with connecting with her .. cud find it in their heart to be a bit lenient with her ..

BUT above all this would NOT TRIVIALISE .. such a BIG social & medical problem .. as that of A BABY born STILL ..

NOW i am not a script writer nor have aspirations of being the same .. if i cud point one such scenario u cud use . i am sure ur very capable script writing team .. cud've come up with 100 such scenarios .. where Anjali wud be justified in her behaviour ...

2. KHUSHI .. oh we so get why she has to be the one to get Shyam back .. now .. today .. when Shyam was brought back .. what was the reason for it ?? why did Khushi bring back the man who attempted to murder her HUSBAND .. her SUHAAG .. just because Anjali skipped a meal ??? was there enuf drama & justification shown to us the viewer to merit such a BIG MOMENT ..

Now lets look at the ouster of Shyam .. the same scene had 3 days dedicated to it .. & reentry through the same front door .. was all of 3 minutes ..

WHERE was the struggle for KHUSHI .. she looked like she was stepping out to bring a cadbury chocolate for Anjali .. that was the sum total of her dilemma . what shud i bring .. Dairy milk or fruit & nut ?? .. did we get to see a torn KHUSHI .. did v get to see a Khushi .. who went against herself .. to do the BIG THING .. of bringing back the MAN WHO HAS MOST HURT HER ..

Now we all as audiences know .. the biggest impact of Shyam coming back to RM will be on KHUSHI .. so was this at all dramatised .. for us viewer .. ?? So how do you expect ur audience to be with u through thick or thin .. when u dont respect their intellect ???

Now lets go to the other BIG one tonite .. ARNAV SEEING SHYAM IN RM . that too ENTRY THRU THE MAIN DOOR ..

Lets visit this scene .. Arnav is told by nani & mami . that .. anjali is in real poor health .. OK got that they were also trying to get in touch with Arnav & Akash .. ok get that ..Nani thot .. that this was it for ANJALI .. she was so frail that they wud loose her . ok get that ...

Now lets pause here .. was a doctor even called .. the last we checked .. Arnav was the head of a fashion house ..he doesnt know how to save lives . so cudnt the esteemed family members call for a doctor .. wud that add to the credence & seriousness of this claim .. coz in this manner .. i as a viewer thot this was more manipulation of Arnav .. not real concern ..

Then for the BIG MOMENT .. Shyam walks in .. there is the typical ekta kapoor treatment .. bang bang .. close shots of all present on set .. then predictably .. Arnav holds Shyam by the collar .. & threatens him .. & shyam is speaking in a very calm dulcet tone .. so .. pray do tell me .. how did Anjali .. come to know on the first floor .. or the other family members come to know on the first floor that .. shyam was down .. was it so windy on the sets that the dulcet tones carried .. to the first floor .. heres my reaction to this .. WHAT THE F***

Could we have seen an enraged Arnav .. dragging Shyam who was digging his heels in .. & the other 3 passer bys .. Nani , Mami & Akash .. adding to the pleas .. NOW cud a doctor here now not make sense ..who would say . great this is what was needed .. if this is shyam he is the anti dote needed TO BRING ANJI BACK TO GUD HEALTH .. ok chalo too much drama ..

Ok .. now lets c .. shyam enters .. there are a couple of close ups of the people on set . then arnav goes up to him .. exchanges pleasntaries .. which he replies to . SO WHERE IS KHUSHI ALL THIS TIME .. was she by any chance paying the auto guy & ran out of change ?? that she came in SO LATE ???

Common .. drama .. for the sake of drama .. please .. the audience .. is not that naive .. u can dish some parts sense to us as well ..

NOW FOR THE NEXT BIG MOMENT .. Arnav realises .. KHUSHI has done this .. she has brought SHyam home .. now my friends .. i am not even going to give that much respect to the maker here that i will write here on the mistakes in this one .. so please pause & play this ur self .. BELIEVE U ME .. U WILL WANT TO GET UP & COMMIT HARAKIRI URSLEF .. ON THE MAKER ..

please do pause on both the leads expressions ... i for one cudnt understand it .. was it anger on Arnav's face .. disbelief .. shock .. a look of et u 2 brutus .. ( please do tell me if u caught even one of these)

Now Khushi .. did she have an expression of .. i am worried for Di .. i am dam scared of how arnanji will react .. i am disgusted that i have to even stand in the same place as creepwa .. was there a look on her face . try to understand that i did this for Di .. ??

again if u managed to catch any one of these expressions .. do let me know promise to rewatch with an open mind) ..

NOW FOR THE COUP DE GRACE ..

anjali comes .. rolling down . note she removed the drip as well .. she also repaired her lipstick to a darker shade .. ( ok that was uncalled for ) .. then she comes down .. & sees her Shyam ji .. & promptly HUGS HIM .. wow .. "madhur milan " happened .. how much have u trivialised the death of a child .. mr . maker .. please see this scene urself ..

she is happy her husband is HOME .. wow .. how sweet .. now tell me Madam MOTHER .. cudnt believe she had KHUSHI KE AANSOON in her eyes .. instead of breaking down .. for her baby in her husbands arms .. crying for their child .. mourning their loss .. she is so happy to see her lover back in her arms .. she wants to go for some private time to their room ..

Then she turns around & tells Arnav thank u for bringing my husband home to me .. he is my life .. awww .. what a moment .. now did any one here catch helpless ness in the brothers eyes .. did anyone catch him clench his fist to stop the HUG between his sister & his kidnapper .. did ne one catch .. a look of extreme disgust in arnav's face . when he saw Shyam .. speaking to Anjali .. in those i love u tones .. wasnt there a need for this .. isnt Arnav the only one to whom SHyam has confessed his true feelings for Rani Sahiba too ?????

such glaring errors in one of the most important episodes of the track .. the episode which laid the foundation for the future .. the start of the REAL DESTRUCTION .. the start of the BATTLE ..

Now my question to you the VIEWER .. DID ANYONE OF U FEEL THIS WAS HOW IMPORTANT THIS EPISODE WAS ?????

_____________________________________________________

This is the first time i have ranted on DC about the episode .. but this really was the straw which broke this camels back .. SUCH AN IMPORTANT EPISODE .. BUT TREATMENT .. & SCRIPTING ALL WRONG .. the no of people who got the magnitude of this episode must be in negatives .. hence .. i came out of the closet literally on this one ...

have written my post .. in black .. u normally do that . when u mourn something .. tonite i mourned the death of creativity .. this episode .. was a death in creativity .. for IPK .. i am hoping . tomorrow will be a new day .. the precap . was the only promise i cud see in this episode ..

if this episode was return of the prodigal ..

tomorrows episode hopefully will be . Return of the MAN .. yes .. asr .finally hopefully wil DON the mantle of the MAN of ACTION ..
