Arshiji,
I've always had some complaints about the way the CVs use stupid superstitions into the story line to drive home the message to the viewers. Be it, the bells tolling as divine accreditation of K's realization of love, ink falling on the portrait to indicate something's amiss and so forth. But still, they've never bothered so much so that I would dismiss them as 'pure silliness' and let that linger in head because my suspension of disbelief radar would give those scenes a complete miss, for like I said, they're crucial plot devices in this medium after all.( I'm not taking a dig at any belief system here)
But today, I couldn't take that stupid promise Saras made to God. Would he have done it if it were his mom? Or if K was married to him with kids? How could a guy like him fall prey to post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy? Not to mention the "near death experience cum sudden and dramatic revival" of Kumud. She's on life support you say but WHERE is the darn life support? These things irk me to no end. Maybe it's just me!
This dude sure falters in making decisions when thrust with immense pressure. Now I'm thinking he'd coerce Kumud to help P in his last days, who knows? 🤢
PS: Like Happy ji says, you're way too kind. 😊
I know at present the stock of the CVs is way too low with us. But I don't think it was propagating a superstition.
Maybe I am living in my happy bubble, but to me it was more about Saras and his panic and desperation and not about Gods giving Kumud back in exchange for whatever.
I have been feeling this whole track is a rerun of the marriage track, albeit in a different way.
Whenever he is forced to recall his mothers death, his reaction is of flight. He still hasn't splayed those demons.
And again , seeing that Payal and Kumud near dead, the man panicked and made another stupid resolve.
I think Kumud recovered, because she recovered, not because the cvs wanted to show a superstition.
But they certainly wanted to show Saras and his fears and insecurities being again the reason for char kadam ki doori.
I think Saras and his fears and Kumud and her sense of duty will always become barriers in their relationship, but with each crisis they grow closer and the next jolt has to be bigger, but it will still be these two reasons that will pull them.
