ok.. honestly this novel was based on time when there were more restrictions on women if we see.. I think if they have to show this kind of stuff in 2013 , they wud definately try to change what seems a very regressive thinking. I cud only find your line on morality and woman.. I wud rather watch kumud going against world for her love in the end...as she deserves best too...lets see how SLB tackles issue here..

^^ Ya the novel suits SLB's kinda stories.

Couple never get together but end up with someone else.

And tradition always wins.

So I am ready to accept that he will stick to the story.

Bravo dear friend , you survived the whole novel 👏

This is worst than devdas, there was only phase 1 in DD and I was weeping buckets when I saw it and SC has 4 long depressive phases and Mr. Bhansali expects me to tag along all through 😲

Any ways coming back to SC novel , I wouldnt have survived after the first renouncement itself,what kind of guy who is madly in love with out of the world beautiful gal (apparently) can renounce the world 😲 (he needs to be tested in the first place)

I didnt understood devdas also and now SC joins the list , well I havnt got the hang of all the names after almost 1 week , still cant understand when bombay can change to dubai , then why SC can not change to sid/samar/sameer 😉

To be very frank , I am not very much impressed with SC till now , cant see any thing beyond GR's brows (damn SLB,y did you have to make that damn portrait with those eyebrows , they are just etched in my head) I am gonna hate SLB for the rest of my life , he is not making me look beyond eye brows .

No comments on kumud though ,she is a carbon-copy of nandini , has 4 dots also on the neck

Thanks for the awesome summary ,

P.S: what is with SLB and tragic love stories ?

I agree to that.

a) sad love stories sell better

b) sadness (separations) keep the story going with audience's undying hope of bringing the lovers together

c) He would stick to the main theme.. me quite sure.. if he doesn't then story won't have much to offer .. in terms of drama and extending the serial to 5 years

This is exactly what i have written few days ago.

You know, when I read it ..the other perspective that I had was

Given the early 1900 that the book was written in, women were not so respected in the society . .. and in his novel Kumud is introduced as a strong character..

Think of it this way,

in spite of everything going her way with the love coming , its she who upholds the duties of being a daughter, wife, widow.. for the family.. putting self below all of this .. i think author brought out her strength of character ( in a twisted way) .. although , when i stop giving benefit of doubt,and i am out of the emotions that the novel generates.. it irks me the entire sacrifice bit ..sacrifice for heck of sacrifice is pointless

To be honest, I really really hope SLB doesn't follow the storyline with a needlepoint. And a small part of me thinks that he won't. Since it's a daily, he has to change teh storyline a little bit to fit the trp's and whatnot. Plus, I think since it's based on a novel, he must realize that if he follows the novel closely then there's no fun in watching the show if he follows bit by bit because everyone knows what will happen. (and thats no fun lol). Even in American shows (like True blood, etc) the shows tend to deviate from the books, some characters aren't introduced, others are introduced and kept past their death dates (they don't get killed off if the audience likes them, etc). So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that SC the show is slightly different.

The novel is so depressing. But thank you SO much for writing out a synopsis. It was great! Much appreciated :)

I am really excited about this show... but it would be really upsetting if the story turns out to be a carbon copy of the novel... because, if that is the case, I don't think I would want to continue watching it. I hope SLB realizes it, even though he is a big fan of the novel and devdas. This is not a movie, its a daily soap, and to keep interest of the audience, he will have to make some alterations to the original for sure.
