Aisi aur bahut ghadiyon ko ana hai

Phir pyaar se nazrein churana

Awkward epi...

Wasted half an hour actually seeing the epi...😭

As people have mentioned...the chase sequence timelines were all screwed up, as well as, the chase itself..

The current CV team seems to have a huge filmi hangover...starting from typical pooja scenes, kalika scene, filmi songs...then this fetish intensifying through the coal walking coupled with a filmy song in a dargah (lift from Rockstar!!), suhaag raat room, haveli nilaami...and still further intensifying through Om Shanti Om direct lift, followed by dishum dishum, filmi chase and the absolutely required taking bullet out with a knife thingie...

Add to this the absolutely shoddy direction in the last epi...
- Let's start with Saras...Oohhh...he's shot...but where?..in the frikking upper arm!!!...it's not as if he's dying or going to die anytime soon...unless the arm becomes gangerenous but which will take 5 - 6 days to develop...yet he's shown stumbling and falling all over the place becoming unconscious and all that melodrama...Its the upper arm!!

- You could say maybe because he's bleeding...again its the upper arm!!!...and even then the blood flowing out is barely a trickle!

- Then the absolute pits was when Saras, Kumud & Pramad were in the face-off...I could see the extra villager cast actually peeping out behind some bushes when this face-off was going on!!...

- Oh God!...then all the dialogue-baazi...Pramad ...when you always shoot first and talk later...

- There is a 3 - 4 minute dialogue-baazi between him and Kumud...why?...

- Also if you see the scene, you will notice that Kumud leisurely takes the sickle and walks in front of Pramad...then gives some filmy dialogue...then again leisurely moves forward and points the sickle at Pramad's throat...Where is the urgency?...If at all you wanted to go the filmi dialogue route,,,please make Kumud plant the sickle at Pramad's throat and then go filmi...Why do you want to break it up in 2 parts?

- Pramad wants to kill them both...yet both he & kumud engage in an almost debate ...

- Most funny scene when I was ROFL...in the ensuing 'friendly' debate between Pramad & Kumud, Pramad's hand with the gun is now by his side...And then the village women come and point their respective sickles at Pramad's throat (again a John Woo trademark scene copied!)...one of them says "Gun neeche karo" or some such...Pramad must be going "W*F? Neeche Hi to Hain"...

- Then why does the camera have to repeatedly pan poor GR's face every 5 seconds just to emphasise that he is in some life-threatening pain?...From a bullet wound to his upper arm!!...After 5 - 6 times, even poor GR lost his expressions...by the time the epi ended his expressions looked less pain from wound and more from a possible bowel movement problem...repeated ad nauseum!...This is a first...first time GR lost his grip on expressions...

- Lastly the whole taking bullet out with knife thing...harkens back to the shoddy movies of the 80's... all that's remaining now is Gautam feeling cold and Kumud providing him some warmth through body heat!

What a bombed out landscape this epi was...all thanks to a lazy CV team..

...which just proves my perceptions regarding the last Fri epi ...the CVs had nothing to do with the last Fri epi...

...nothing has changed in the shoddiness quotient...The last Fri epi was just a stastical fluke governed by the Bell Curve of the law of averages...a stastical outlier which has to turn up once in a while in the middle of a series of average / below average epis which get churned out...

I so wished to be wrong on the above and so decided to see yesterday's wreck of an epi...

But then we propose and the lazy CVs dispose!

Sir ji, best post ever 😆

Also... Any specific reason for using Gautam and 'Kumud' with body heat? 😉

Very very sharp Ji...

The Epi was the pits...so ike Crime Master GoGo of Andaz Apna Apna ..."Ayaa Hoon Kuch To Loot Ke Jaoonga!"

Was being sarcastically wicked and politically correct at the same time to avoid censure ...

...And no comments on who would be thinking like Crime Master GoGO ...Real ya Reel waale characters?

😉😛

I thoroughly enjoyed myself, reading the various viewpoints and the lovely shayaris for yesterdays episode. You guys are too good !

As for the episode, both Kumud and Saras, said and did the right things, (his insisting she goes home, her saying chup, her letting go of the mangalsutra, her refusing to leave Saras, her dialogue with Pramad-which was superb) ...

just that it was all very matter of fact...the emotional impact of it wasnt there, atleast for me. There is no doubt that they cannot now get back to showing the same kind of romance, as was before marriage... the love has to be shown differently now, only I dont know whether the CVs have the ability !!

I am hoping the hut scene will continue today, and we will get some nice sensitive moments between the leads.

Hope Hope Hope 😊
