Not very happy with the episode today. It just seemed like a bunch of scenes all put together. There are too many things happening at the same time- competition between the brothers and their spouses, the entry of the nerd (who will fall in love with CC), entry of Rupali, (seems like she loved Manav from college) and also the beginning of MU between CC and Manav.

RanSan got an order of 6 lakhs from their maayka, isn't that cheating though?

I like the fact that Manav will finally start to get responsible, he was living off the family money till now, will be interesting to know what he does!

Missing UB, very less of her in the last few episodes. Is it because of her new show with Hats off productions starting soon?

Precap- Does Manav really expect CC's family to help him. 😲Common Manav, be a man!

Landing here after 3 days cz am finally back home!... anyway.. don't have much time today cz am busy with the b'day 1 n some work..

Just a point i saw..
Babuji didn't necessarily ask them to earn more... he spoke to dadaji about the one who manages most well..

I am 100% sure that the very fact that R&S got the cheat order from the mayka will disqualify them.
CC & Kaumadi r definitely ahead of them due to the fact that they r genuinely concerned and manage both ends...work and home..
balance act will be needed as well as NOT using shortcuts! cz the point of this exercise is to find out which one will succeed in protecting and taking the family up.. its not gonna be feasible to turn to the mayka whenever trouble hit..n babuji will be intelligent enough to know this.

But well I honestly am not very sure about Manav.. well not so bad lol cz all 4 brothers r equally bad i guess.. All r annoying! :p

I guess in CC's case n Manav's its always that Manav has been the youngest in the family and thus used to get the easy way out and not have too much responsibility..n now having a hard time with it cz neither r his elder bros used to trusting him with responsibility as he is to taking it up and taking the blame if he screws up..
in CC's case, in the new house she might be the baby bahu.. but she is the eldest in her own home n is more level headed and sensible..it sure is a good thing for Manav that he married her in this sense! He would have gone crazy with a different sort of wife!

btw Dia di - did Manav's friends kinda remind u of someone? CJ from MJHT? lol i was trying to place who it was n just now remembered...kinda the cocky attitude less feminine... (CJ was way nicer which is beside the point 😛)

n lol I like the nerd more lol..

PPS: di is this serial ending or not? hayee i would have preferred CM filled episodes instead totally romantic kind!! ❤️

Sunara, this is what's bothering me...the not knowing...all the storylines are well and good if there's time but what's the point in bringing in more people to complicate issues resulting in a mad rush and this show seems to be all about rushing. IF the show is ending then take one track preferably a ChanMan one and slow down a bit and give us lots of ChanMan romance. At this point I'm not to bothered about relationship development...if I can accept that Kaumudi learnt english overnight and Babuji's heart attack was diagnosed and treated at home then I can accept that ChanMan know each other as well as a couple who've known each other for 50 years so let's move on and have romance.

Jaya, you are talking of two prong attack, there is also mama Sarabhai who thinks Manav is cheating on Chhanchhan. I like the issues this track is raising - insecurities, rivalries and jealousies raising their heads in wake of the challenge Mathilal put forth. I think this challenge is less about earning money but more about one's conduct and ethics when the going gets tough and facing problems headlong. Even Kaumudi slipped a bit today from being a perfect bahu, though it could also be due to her new found mission of being a perfect wife now.

It will take sometime to get used to seeing such a subdued Uma Ben. Wish they incorporate a few scenes of her talking to Mathilal about consequences of this challenge, she is supposed to be proactive in family matters.

Manav too is cracking under pressure and this is the first time he is being pushed to prove his worth. He will slip and fall , male chauvinism coming to the fore, and of course our Chhanchhan will be his moral anchor. Will his masculine ego also be hurt if Chhanchhan does better at work and refuse to take her parent's help?

Episodes bring up good issues, but execution keeps falling short so have to see what the creative's make of this track (now with added pressure of time). New entrants did arrive and mystery of missing mangalsutra and sindoor added to several other mysteries of running a daily soap.

Yeah, how could I forget about Mama Sarabhai, the tigress in waiting😆, hell, this is getting even more complicated. The concept of the track is excellent and you can just see all the crossed connections being set in place to end up in a huge explosion and I'd love to have all these story lines in a show that I knew was going to be around for a bit, where the cv would have time to delve into each aspect and give well thought out scenes. Here though there's already a rush to round things up and more ingredients are being added to the mix. I'd like for the how to end in a nice way and not a hodge podge of storylines thrown together in a rush.

I too understood the challenge to be about responsibility rather than the bottom line and I think CC is the only one who seems to have cottoned on to that. There is no way Manav can be expected to be on the same level as Mukut when it comes to experience,While the financial side is important Babuji is looking for something more...the ability to make it through good times and bad, to work together and keep both home and business running smoothly. I don't know what the going rate for a dog trainer with probably no office experience working in an office is but I'm guessing it's less than what Kaumudi will make for her saris or RanSan will get from their mayka for the pickle...how much pickle do they need to make to fulfill a Rs 6 lakh contract and more so is poor Sanjana going to end up making it by herself because we know Ranjana doesn't like working...that might actually bring conflict between the sisters. Kaumudi seems to have come up with a business idea that she can expand but she also seems to have gotten her first order through a family member/friend.

OK. I'll take a two day MU between ChanMan, just enough for Manav to man up and then I want romance...and yup my needle is definitely stuck on 'more sizzling romance'😆
