A question for the weekend - Page 3

Lol most of this true but I feel like most Hindi soaps have bloopers like these. As far as VC's outburst goes, well that would be a bit too melodramatic in any time period really, it was mostly just used an excuse to have a fight scene. As for the Gau Hatya track, I totally agree that it didn't make sense in modern times, but some people on the forum said it still happens in rural villages, soo.. 😕 Honestly I don't really care if there are some weird points in the story, as long as we get Samud scenes. 😆

I think they're trying to make it a fusion of old and modern!😆

But walking with lantern makes sense sometimes when Kumud at night because when everyone's sleeping, lights are off. But one thing, I saw Dugba turning off her lantern before sleeping... doesn't she have electricity in her room? Or maybe it was a scene during power-cut! 😕

Brilliant post...👏👏👏

SLB himself is confused about what should be shown..

He has not accepted one view. On one side, he has shown its Kumud who brought internet to the village and there is no electricity at night...😆

This is actually the reality of many villages, they have Internet, but no electricity. But all our CVs need to do is to close it with a relevant dialogue, and not leave us to wonder about it!

They actually have excellent net speed in ratnanagri, because Saras could have a concall with the doctor, when VC fell ill.

Sanskaars and maryada matters are given utmost importance but still, the daughter of the house sneaks into the room of the boy at midnight...👎🏼

Again, sneaking into Saras's room at night - per se not a problem, she in her eagerness, did not think of it, but yes, her clothes, would be objectionable, in a house so focused on maryada

DB is shown dual-minded.

She has a problem if Kumari keeps her hair open but she has no problem if Kumud wears backless blouse and transparent chunni

That is a very very jarring point for me

Dear SLBji...Please show something that is complete...

In India, we see power failures in big cities too..cities like Kanpur and even Delhi experience heavy loadshedding for hours and sometimes days specially in summers.. Infact there is a time slot for power failure for every sector of a colony..and all these places have internet.. so why is it so unbelievable in this case? not sure..

What has Kumud done so far thats off limit or not within limits of maan maryada.. ?? Is falling in love and having the courage to ask the guy who gave her every possible indication that he has feelings for her, going against maan maryada? I don't understand what is this maan maryada you are talking about..?

Dukhba is one of the strongest characters is the show.. I agree on the part that she should give more attention to her daughter than she does.. Kumud can carry herself in the kind of attire she wears.. Jennifer has the height and figure to carry them off..Not only Kumari is too young for such clothes..I think she is a lil too skinny for those kinda dresses.. When she grows up and if she wears something like that, which is a common attire in Gujrat villages, Dukhba might not have a problem..who knows!?Leaving that aside, in the show they wanted to convey that Kumud is Dukhba's '' laadli'' so she gets away with a lot of things compared to the other children of the house..not just Kumari..but Kusum and Yash also are not as close to Dukhba as Kumud is.. right or wrong? I dunno..I know such things happen..

above stated questions have been bothering me too! after watching the show so far, i am getting the taste of eating saag with bread instead of makki ki roti!

the cvz are trying to blend the novel with modern era, that is why they showed dubai where saras was shown living in a posh house but still holds traditional beliefs.

then they showed ratnagiri where they tried to create rural atmosphere by showing gau hatya track, although its hard to believe but in some parts of rural india there r people that still hold on to the century old traditions and beliefs!

then in the village they showed computers and cell phones which means that the rural areas of india r still in the stage of development..which is again indicating towards today's time and age.

i think that the cvz are trying to make modern adaptation of the novel, the scenes where they show lanterns when the electricity goes just makes the scenes more classy and beautiful which might be slb's idea because he likes showing this type of settings even in his movies..a poetic romance!

on the whole its not a bad attempt but has lots of room for improvement..as far as acting is concerned i don't see any flaws..the flaw is in neglecting details...logic ki vaat ka blame goes to the bad script..i think slb should personally look into it and attention needs to be given to better writing and hopefully interesting sensible tracks!

Vaishali, maan maryada often refers to external social norms that are imposed on all members of a society, and dress code is one of the norms!

Common attire in villages - villages have very strict norms on skin show, and it's considered against maryada to expose, so there I will disagree with you!

Villages which have a rigid set of norms - the honor killing belts etc, will have rules that are restrictive in all domains, from talking to opposite sex, to dress codes, to speaking up and speaking out by women!

Internet but no electricity - agree with you there, in many rural centers, they are equipped with technology but never have electricity to use it!

Arshi, that was quite a comprehensive list of al the boo-boos that plague the show... 😉

I feel this is a common feature of SLB's work... If you've watched Saawariya, it was set in some imaginary blue world, that looked like Mughal-e-Aazam in Venice? maybe... And Sonam Kapoor usually had a lantern at hand, as well...

I dont think it bothers him one bit because he's seeing something in his head that he's trying to picturise for our benefit. And in SC he's going the same way making up an imaginary world with mix and match of reality from different periods and places. I hope enough viewers can connect with his vision to keep the boat afloat...

If you watch Western period dramas ( I am a fan of Downton Abbey and to a much lesser extent, Mad Men) they pay a lot of attention to detail. I dont think we should expect that level of attention from SLB because he is more emotional than rational in his work, as far as I have seen.
