Episode 409 Discussion: 22nd Oct 2013

Ah! A very satisfying episode from beginning till end today 👏 And let me add that there is a thahraav in the episodes lately 👍🏼

The headlines put for the photos in the newspapers was the first believable unclunky thing in this track since the point when Mehul came to RK's house and expected to be given complete control of the film RK would produce.
From that point to this, everything else has been sheer clunk - especially the majbooris of producers banning a superstar, a millionaire suddenly at a bank's approval mercy for a paltry loan despite having to pay only an unwanted director and crew who can't command high charges, and clever RK's conveniently staying as idiotically helpless as in the previous track (except when it came to speaking up in defence of his wife).
Only the headlines today - after all these weeks - were believable.
*This* was the way the press should have torn apart RK's film after finding out at the mahurat that the banned superstar had managed to get only a flop-director and his own nonactress wife as heroine for his film.
Not the doting fawning questions they had asked the couple, as if the entire press corps gathered for that mahurat were the couple's paid PR team.
If the press hadn't put out the photos this way as something tawdry but rather as scintillating, that would have been unbelievable. It's not their job to make things better for the film; making the superstar and his wife look embarrassing this way grabs more eyeballs and sells more copy.
The precap was yet again appalling proof that the flop-director is to have everything his way, and is behaving as if he's doing RK a favour.
And RK is being conveniently stupid enough to fall for it and getting Madhu to do what Mehul could not have made her do - whatever Mehul wants, for Mehul's supposedly different story that is stock cliche of umpteen other films of varying box-office fates.
Why has RK not asked Mehul whether this movie will serve RK's interests, or whether Mehul is just getting leads and film at RK's effort and expense when he would get none of it from anyone else? It's hardly as if some film has to be made even if it's no use to RK professionally.
The RK who would have struck effectively at Mehul's weak spot and pointed out that Mehul might never again get a chance to prove himself as a director, since he had been unwanted for 10 years even without being banned... That RK has apparently had funeral rites done. Which is apparently supposedly fine, since he can supposedly be revived from pretty much any point.
But the longer the wait until revival each time, the less enthusiasm in those who are interested less in the actors and the 'different' tracks and more in the couple with half unbutchered.
Radha's reactions were eminently believable. This is a woman who has placed appearances and image first and foremost for so long in her life, letting herself get estranged even from the son she loves most because holding onto him would require her to lose whatever traditional-conservative image she has clung to.
She has fought and plotted only when she was about to lose either her son or her image.
And in manipulation focussed on Madhu, Radha - unlike her sister - has a terrifyingly successful record. Really don't want her turning vamp. Dips is much preferable, always failing.

It's not about personal comments, it's about generally letting anyone who criticizes feel they shouldn't. Why can't we just acknowledge each other and not pick on differing opinions?
If I can appreciate opinions that are opposite to mine, why can't at least comments about negativity be avoided?
Each person saying what they feel about the episode, and not picking on those who think differently.
It's a fictional track, for heaven sake. I'm not commenting about real people or even about the opinions of real people interacting here.
And people whose opinions are called negative are usually less than eager to post and invite such points.
And asking that this not happen, so you threaten to leave? So the only way is for everyone to unanimously love this track and make only positive comments?
The CVs won't listen to anything here. Otherwise the past several months of tracks wouldn't have got stretched that long. We just write, we can't influence them unless we have a guaranteed assurance of raising TRP by a ton of points. None of us can offer that, just opinions. That's all.

Charu, Leelaa, nobody is outta here! 😡

Guys lets just agree to disagree
We are all well wishers of this soap
We might differ in what we might think is good for it
But our intensions are all good

Just lets be more sensitive to other people's choices which we may not like also still

And lets all be respectfull to each other

This is a rocking place
