arshi-
Checked your CB and then decided to quickly check online...
Few notes-
It is a given that new PH does not have the finesse of SLB and has a heavy handed treatment...so let that be the assumption for all of the below..
1) Still continue to believe that the PH is 'trying' out this track ...and will wait till the new TRP / TVTs come out (tomorrow?) before deciding the future course...
Why?
Because they seem to have pulled back momentarily from the Pramad imrpovement track ...he is still a psycho boor and today they seem to have more - or - less aligned to the novel...
And yet still kept their options open...
How?
In the novel:
- when the maid exposes Kumud & Saras relationship, Pramad behaves just like he did, his family responds just like they did...but Kumud is thrown out...and saras is not around when that happens.
- kusum comes in Act 4, when the decision to marry saras is taken blah blah..
Currently:
- both of the above have been fused, so Pramad & family behaved like they did & kusum got a step closer to the eventual marriage with saras.
- kumud is still hell-bent on the Pramad reform path
- The elephant in the room (saras & kumud instead of naveen & kusum) is still undecided.
So depending on the TRP / TVT they can go either way...depending on what they show first.
- If Pramad exposes saras & kumud (basis spoilers - saras is dead, kumud runs to saras) and we are back to original novel...kusum & naveen then have to up the ante and actually announce marriage...
- Saras is effectively dead (as per spoilers) and we go on to Pramad reform path..
I am sure the PH will make a bigger mess in handling this...coz they seem to be mostly flying by the seat of their pants ...
HOPING IPK2 has far lower TRPs than expected...so they kill that and continue this..
Regarding todays epi-
1) Think kusum managed the situation the only way it was possible...in the super-charged atmosphere it was just not practical to come clean ...BD's trust would have gone in an instant kumud would have been thrown out...
2) PARTICULARLY since kumud is still having her blinkers on and WANTS to take a crack at her marriage...known to both kusum & saras... So what else could either have done...saras couldn't say I love You and take a willing kumud with him away from BD house...
3) We may curse kusum as an imbecile...but have to admire her spunk...she is 'committing' to a relationship which does not exist ...Of that I am sure, coz at least till now she has not shown any overt inclination / preference / liking for saras as a boyfriend / husband...(Again like the novel, she sacrifices for her sis happiness.).
What is with the K-sundaris...making all these sacrifices at the drop of a hat? 😕
4) Did not like:
- Kumud not screwing Kalika & Pramad royally in public like he did ...Would the old Kumud have done it? Absolutely!
- Kumud the Doormat
- MIL going all TRP serial MIL...my son is a crazy psycho serial killer types...but 'uske dimaag mein kya guzri hogee' and "why did kumud not tell us?,...Really????
- NO REACTION when kusum says I am with Naveen...GR as saras had nailed the despair when Pramad had carried kumud when she fainted...
Methinks.. kumud has moved on...and there may not be a samud ever. If they follow the novel or Pramad reform...sadly they won't meet...
Neways...like the Channel V Bai ad says "Itne Paise Mein Itnaich Kaam Milega"...not worth spending too much thought beyond this on a TRP driven show produced by a PH who does not even understand the characters...All of the Above could be easily junked tomorrow...
