A worth waiting for post from you Vaishali. Yes, the flow of scenes has been great , not just last night but for the last 3 episodes. A lot of synergy, control and tight execution has been visible this week.

All the pieces had been laid in place and so a lot of closures happened , story took a sharp turn and the emotional drama handled with perfection.

Oh there was so much I loved about the Saras Guman scene - as you pointed out, the blackness of the whole scene - in their clothes, in the night - Guman still playing the mom card, a game she has become a pro at.

And Saras - still the right amount of control - but letting her know in no uncertain terms - it was his moms Payal and never her feet that he touched!

Letting her know that he never really was taken in by her, it was his moms sanskars that made him give her respect

Again just the right amount of theatrics to the scene.

Vaishali all actors great, writing good, camera work excellent, the meditation scene, the upward shot of Saras close to the edge, all superb

But I think the man who deserves all the appreciation is the director, he has the reins firmly in his hands and its showing!

Arshi a lovely post for a great episode. First I have to say Gauti excelled yet again. What a performance. Loved the face off between Guman and Saras. I am happy we were right, the first time Saras bowed to touch his mother's Payal not Guman's feet and today he told it to her feet. He gave her whatever respect he can but he is done and how true his words were...his dad is blinded by Guman's love that he doesn't see what is right or wrong. LN when you realise everything you would be alone and the day Danny walks out I would be happy to see Guman's face. Until then we have to see the evil smirk on her face.

Saras has again gone back to his shell, suffers the loss of his mother. The only hope is Guman's words, instead of depriving him of his strength it might work the reverse. In order to prove Guman wrong that he and his mother were not weak Saras will rise up again more stronger than before.

Kumud knows something is wrong, her heart has already started fearing. I am tired of this Kusum, what is wrong with that girl. Ye Kumud ke har kaam mein kyum taang adathi hai. So now we are back to Radha-Krish rather than Ram-Sita. Kumud wants to be like Ram-Sita but destiny has different plans.

The new family entry was dramatic. The way the Baisab said weddings are based on luck, a regret will be there.. I feel the son might have liked Kumud but due to his behaviour either VC must have rejected the proposal earlier or the parents themselves hadn't approached knowing their son's character. But the first feel is the parents seem to be eager to meet Kumud and Baisab wishes he could get a DIL like Kumud, maybe Kumud itself.

Arshi,

So today we did have a Saras drawing from last reserve of his spiritual core,a last bastion, he so meticulously built. He was struggling hard to fend off all demons that rushed from his nightmarish past to blight his present.

Original has slight different mode. He bore no actual grudge towards stepmom, nor any disrespect towards father. He received father's diatribe in an obedient silence and left in dead of the night. Thinking himself unwarranted and thereby free to peruse his old dream of a spiritual exploration without any attachment hindrances. In the process, he also shook off his new found love for Kumud, telling her not to wait..So here we have suitable adaptation. Mother's suicide is a complete innovation. And tale is not so conformist after all.

But attention is now towards Kumud's predicament. State limbo is already unfolding. And just as LN in Dubai, VC's reaction in RN would be pivotal, unless, a bolt from Dubai instructs Kumud not to 'wait', as in original. Then she may take much of the blame away from an impatient father, I fear.

We also have Budhdhi Dhan and Saubhagya Laxmi. The source preserved as much that he is actually showed a politician and minister, as in Book! The way they were showed disappointed, I think they were already looking for a 'corrective' influence for their errant Son and seemed to have sent a proposal to VC before, learning her 'virtues' from intermediate sources. They are slipping in the marriage inexorably.

Does all this mean that Saras is going to eventually find his bearings after leaving LN's house

and Dubai in misery now and then later turn up as an aide to Pramad's dad (Buddhidhan?) the hotshot politician??

Knowing that Kumud is there as bahu of the house??

Doesnt the whole world know that he ws Kumud's fiance who didnt show up?

In this age, wont that be difficult to pull off?

Questions, questions??

Oh, I forgot my mantra:

"Every day, one day at a time."

(And no questions at any time!)

Well said. I am now conviced that Pramad will be a wayward son for whom they want a virtuous wife like Kumud.

But I hope she doesnt get married to Pramad on the same mandap...That would be soo filmy...And a future wedding date raises the hope that SaMud could communicate, in person or on phone, prior to the wedding so that at least their trust and confidence in each other is restored.

Mini7 while we all hope for Saras Kumud convo before tha wedding, I don't think it's likely!

Kumud has to be under the presumption that he is not coming, that she has been stood up just like badi maa, all those years ago, to agree to marry Pramad.

Kumud, if she knows that Saras loves her and has left everything, will fight the world and stand by him, she will not get married if she knows that he needs her, hence the wedding seems to be likely then and there

hi Arshi😊..i have a big smile on my face after seeing the episode! what an episode! liking the pace of the show..story is well connected! again gautam was outstanding, this actor has got under the skin of the character of saraswatichandra, i can rant about his performance two page long, but will stop at that..kumud looked gorgeous, kusum looked beautiful in pink ghagra, kumari chulbuli as usual..liked the entry of pramad's father, this actor has great screen presence..what makes me happy is that the cvz r holding on to the original script, kumud's in laws were in politics, the father in law was a big shot..her in laws were nice, they loved kumud, it was the husband that was a grey character..now if they portray pramad as a shady character then we know for sure what we will be getting in future! i am now excited for the upcoming twists and turns as long as the original story is kept intact!

Love reading your crisp bytes.

The characterization has deviated a lot from the novel with many other shades being added to the leads. But, core has been kept intact. The novel was a product or mirror of the times. And the movie too could not go beyond the times and stuck to the novel.

At the end, there was a debate about Kumud's remarriage. Atleast there was a debate.

There is Dugbaa the Desai Ghar ki beti, whose fate is going to be replicated on Kumud(cancellation of wedding and an unhappy marriage). I strongly feel Dugbaa was introduced to show(dont know if she was in the novel but she was not in the movie which closely followed the novel) the difference/turnaround in the fate of Kumud. There can't be another daughter in the same family who should suffer the same exact set of miseries for no fault of hers.

Although the turnaround might be after the hardships and struggles. Otherwise it will be a missed opportunity.

@ Arshi... have become a fan and regular reader of htis wonderful thread of yours . 😊

@ smrth ... Was waiting to read your take .

Thanks a lot for giving us the context of the " renunciation " by Saras from the original ... so there are differrences in the two scenarios and the mindset of Saras as you have pointed out ... the anger ... the Hurt ... the Pain ... is an innovation ... a change from the book.

Can we dare to Hope... and take this as some indicators of a slightly differrent version ... or an " adaptation " as they call it ...

It has barely been two days and am already missing SAMUD in the same frame ... and it shall be really difficult to watch the show without them being together.

Terribly missing that Hauntingly Beautiful BG Theme song and music ... are we not going to hear that ever again ?? That shall be a huge loss really...

wonder what the CVs have in store for us ??
