Today's Take - ChhanMan Tension, Dadaji's Delusion - Page 3

Sonali, as Newbiesoapfan said, is a loose end. I can't understand her motives either, did she change his name because she realized he was married, or did she already know that and decided to create a rift? See right now, if we see things from Manav's perspective, you can't call him a dikra. All he;s seen is his mum making as many adjustments as CC, plus this whole Manav Nagar/Borisagar thing just added more to the confusion. And CC is not some silly naive girl, she's seeing through Uma's sugar coated barbs, only because she knows something is fishy. Uma has managed to alienate her from her husband, but this girl is a fighter, and she wont sit in a corner and shed tears .She'll go and look for more proof, and as they say in Hindi cinema- all criminals leave behind some proof of their crime. So, let the games begin!
P.S. I dont think she immersed the ashes, I think that empty pot is a hoax, and she's going to help Dadaji get closure. Thereby, becoming his darling.

ah fabulous take di..

except even now I don't believe Manav has been dikrafied..hehe funny isn't it considering I was one of the first to jump at his throat at every such trait he displayed..

well he has redeemed himself in my eyes.. so well he is no dikra even now..

in fact while dikra's trust mummy blindly he trusted his wife blindly!! and well right now he thinks that trust was broken..thus he is lashing out as he was hurt too..he will surely regret it when he learns the truth but till then he is reacting as any sensible person would..

Anyway omg the tension in the room was WOW!! seriously that scene took the whole episode to a different level!

Be it the precise cutting dialogues,,body language, actions, reactions.. everything was so perfectly apt! the tension was building so think that u could practically cut it with a knife! it was tangible watching it from outside!!

ahhh fabulous execution and direction and Sanaya & Anuj nailed it!! WOW!!

aahhh I am absolutely loving this and I am gonna kill someone at the end of this week when that stupid 3 day weekend comes and its not there! they better start airing it 5 days a week soon! I cannot not watch it for 3 freaking days! that is cheating!!

ps: hehe had a good laugh seeing urs n Ash di's analysis on Bwology! 🤣

Agree with you Diya, the creatives did deliver another good episode. The show has definitely taken a turn for the better and keeping fingers crossed and hoping this is just the start.

My favorite parts today were ChanMan scenes... very well conceived and executed. I especially liked the bedroom scene, the dialogues were good, but the one before UB comes was so well enacted, no dialogues just with looks and body language both actors conveyed their emotions, both getting up together to open the door and sitting and then again getting up really well directed and acted.

UB definitely can gloat today, but the weakest link in this track is Sonali, why did she get convinced so fast by UB, is she not upset with her father and UB for not telling her about Manav's marriage...there are so many loose ends here, hope the CVs give us more and just not expect us to go with what we saw today. If Sonali has a decently convincing backstory this track will pack a punch.

UB has declared war today and sounded the bugle...was very refreshing to see a female protagonist in a desi serial who believes her instincts and not afraid of standing up for herself in front of elders. Despite what Manav tells her, Chhanchhan is firm in her belief.

For Dadaji to become an ally there has to be a strong emotional connect between him and Chhanchhan and this "barsi" incident was to establish that. Chhanchhan has gone straight and touched the most sensitive issue for Dadaji, what better way for both to come together.

The creatives are already laying foundation for the Kaumudi and Mukut track and as Chhanchhan finds her footing again in Borisagar house and Manav's heart, that will explode. Good going CVs... they seem to have a plan, now the only thing they need to explain is Sonali and Thakkhar Bhai.

Agree again Diya, can clearly see why Sanaya selected this show and if CVs and writers keep improving like this, she will have a good show to her name, TRP is another game.

at least now, i have some gist of the episode..
tks Diya.


tension in Chhanman's bedroom...
both are upset, and none is willing to pacify the other... :(


for sonali, i guess its too early to judge her cz she may have an agenda of her own..
and how long is she willing to wait for manav..?
as much as he is upset with chhanchhan now, manav holds that wedding vows v dearly.. 😉


sensing trouble in chhanman's heaven, i am sure ub will def up her game..
she is intelligent with her moves, but smart chhanchhan is no less...


great acting from the actor who played dadaji.
from his 'dying moment' till the time he went beserk the next morning.. wow!


we are in for more gripping moments tomorrow,
with Chhanchhan taking things in her own hand to help dadaji moves on..



one Q, can CC dispose the ash like that?
is there a ritual for this.?

Diya ...nice post as always . Look forward to them after every episode .

Let's see the scenes I liked - three actually . The first one ofcourse was in the bedroom , the dialogues between manav and CC , the music and the acting was bang on ...it was also cute , this was effectively their first major fight . The bit which stayed in my mind was how they got up from the bed together and then sat together 😊 nice .

The 2 nd scene was the family after dinner kheer scene ...very nice and natural . Liked the tension between kaumidi and mukut ...CC noticing it , then everyone feeling awkard when dadaji offers kheer to urn dadi ...CC quietly observing everyone .

Ofcourse the scene of the day was the last one , when CC come and admits to dadaji that she has immersed the ashes ...dadaji and CC expression were bang on. This scene looks like one dhamekadaar and emotional scene and from the glimpses that we saw today , think sanaya and arvindji are going to rock it .

Umm sonali ...don't understand her ...is she going to be so dumb that will be totally manipulated by her dad and UB , didn't she once think that would she like to be married to an already married man OR is she so much in love with a guy who she never has seen , that she is obvious to all ...lets see how the cv's take it .

For me the only jarring note in the episode was the way the sonali loop was closed in the beginning , it was too direct , especially UB's speech ...I like a little subtlety in a scene , like the bedroom one between Manav and CC ...

And am always going to comment on what sanaya is wearing ...the lilac and yellow suit was pretty , the sleeves were gorgeous . 😊

Agree with you about the episodes flowing smoothly and the tracks being well laid out.

UB uses Sonali to create the first rift between the married couple. Manav is hurt, confused and torn between his mother and wife...something we knew was going to come soon.

And it is really not easy for any son to believe his mother can be dual faced to this extent. Not willing to accept the girl he loves as a DIL is one thing but conspiring to break his marriage and getting him married to someone else is totally different. Also the evidence in front of him so far ...Sonali talking abt someone else, UB bending rules and being extra sweet to Chch...makes him think Chch is being paranoid and is still not able to forgive UB for not accepting her initially.

I don't think its Manav not trusting Chch here...its more like how can she think my mom can do this. And they did lay the foundation for this for the past few weeks...couple of scenes where Manav tells Chch that UB has accepted her whole heartedly so Chch should also do the same.

Loved the bedroom scene...palpable tension, neither of them willing to budge this time and some good acting by Anuj-Sanaya. The BG music, dialogues, and direction were good too.

The whole Dadaji thing seems to be paving the way for him to be Chanchan's biggest ally in the house. I also don't think she did the visarjan and he will do it himself once he has cried his heart out for his wife.

Reserving my judgement on Sonali for now...the scene was too short and her reaction when UB told her abt Manav being married seemed ambiguous...she also seemed unconvinced about Chch being a cheat as she had already met her. I feel she might be led on initially by her dad and UB but will come aound later and thwart their plans.
