checked the epi just now...
But too many combustible elements now in the plot and many permutations & combinations possible still..
1) With SLB out...SP has no reason to follow the novel anyway. Their concern is TRPs for which source be dammed. It might be thinking that by following the source they got nothing but 1.4 - 1.6 TRPs ...but by jazzing it up the TRPs have come up =>2...so let this be the way forward till Nov (extension) ...if TRPs remain steady till Oct...take a call of whether they want to end it or continue...
2) TRP aunties get orgasmic when the shaadi ka bandhan angle is followed to the T...so all this winning her hubby over, reforming her hubby, bahugiri etc. is what is the course forward...
3) In line with #2, it seemed to me kumud is planning to out saras on her own...all the prayers in front of the goddess durga point to her fully decided on biting the bullet and doing the 'deed'.
This is in line with her vow to make her marriage a success. She may feel that full disclosure before naveen might help win his confidence.
4) In line with #2 ..attempts on Pramad's character rounding off...from the violent abusive character I see a gradual change being brought about to make him a victim of circumstances...sort of like a poor little rich boy types...They made saras from novel positive...same treatment with pramad...
- BD suddenly upped all the name - calling in private & public, all the 'namard' talk...to build a case for a 'victimized' pramad under authoratarian father
- Pramad commenting more and more on...no one wants to listent to me, trusts me, hates me, play with me etc. etc
- Richest line today was pramad commenting he doesn't like all the free-loaders! Look who's talking!!.
- Physical abuse has suddenly stopped (Good!)...but now kumud is aggravating him more and yet his responses are more petulant than violent. And after all that he still does what kumud wants him to!
- Today he directly listened to her!...The old Pramad would have gone to the party in his underwear if kumud told him to wear a kurta.
- He doesn't spend time with kalika...padma mysteriously out
5) saras vow and 30 days deadline...history is against us...all such vows made by each have been won by the person who made the vow...both their respective vows point to pramud rather than samud.
6) I see an attempt to round off alak too...make her image more domestic...today's banter in the kitchen was so out of character...and all the party campaign stuff on hold..
7) kusum now here...😕...was this a deliberate plan even by SLB?...this is the only character which was left vague all this time...therefore when introduced / developed now...you as the viewer have no history of her..
..so how many NEW saras / gautam fans will go 'oh-ah' if their track starts right now?
8) kalika ...
NOW the reverse...
1) kalika preempts the whole outing with the kamarband, pramad goes ballistic, pramad-kalika shame BD, kumud leaves etc...This is the novel track
My problem is that right now I just cannot logically sequence as per the novel track...because of the kusum card...in the novel when kumud leaves BD there is no kusum at all...kalika gets a letter of saras which she uses to get back at kumud...
So I just see the sad acceleration of the TRP track because I cannot answer the million dollar question...Why is kusum here???
Edit:
Answer from the show will be a big yawn till next week.
I think they will show all song & dance and today's precap in the last few mins of tomo...
