Perfect! - Page 4

OK. I watched my recording.

For a change, watched all the commercials with care - I was seeing most of them for the first time! 😉

Watched the show also.

Point 1 - Both our leads are really high-quality "professional" actors - I am filled with "admiration"..

- They both give their emotional best, irrespective of any minor problems such as lack of story! 👏

- They both look fantastic while crying - such a rare quality 😃

that's exactly what I felt too their sincerity and emotions they depicted were amazing! even though they too mustn't have been able to relate to this tamasha. I mean isn't this crisis a very PG Wodehouse type of crisis? Yet these two again put in their best.

Point 2 - As far as I know the GMT's 19th century Saraswatichandra was a progressive character, working against superstition and such like.. (Remember Saras jumping into temple pond to save some child, and Kumud supporting him? )

But...The bacche-log who are story-writing now have no clue abt all that ancient claptrap, so now in the 21st century they have turned apna Saras into a regressive person who waits on God to save him from sticky situations like an illegal second marriage! Kumud invoked Kanha, Dugba called on Ambe-Ma and Saras stuck by good old Ganpati Bappa in keeping with the festive spirit! All divine angles were covered, unleashing high-powered winds of change, putting out not only the diyas in this episode, but also turning the whole premise of a character on its head... CeeVees know (and care) less about characters than we do. End of Story.

it was awful that Saras did nothing to stall the sagai! he had no plan in mind! he was just waiting for divine intervention to save him, and so was everyone.

But what was funny was everyone's reaction after Saras burned his hand, it was like he had done something brilliant and mind blowing! I don't know, happy, ab toh gussa bhi nahi aata. It's just pitiably ridiculous.

@Happy ji,

Saras of the novel had progressive ideas and saras of this show too still does. But both never rose above the limits of the world around them. And bore the burden the society imposed on them.

I too found it stupid that he was resorting to 'burning' and running out of any other sane idea like taking Saraswati back to hospital for few days where she has Arti to serve her.

BTW, I found this link that takes a dig at SLb's SC. I wonder what they would write about current SC.

PS: Saras definitely is not thinking about the marriage so the 'illegality' doesnt arise for him.

I have stopped watching SC a long time ago.
I do read your bytes Arshi which I find more interesting than the show itself.
Through your write-up I feel as if I watched the comedy circus today! 😊

Arshiji today I watched the circus and as you said had a good laugh at theideas the cvs come up with. However I did not even enjoy kumud and Saras emotional scene. One phrase Tyaag ki Devi giving the lamp to DB and Tyaag ka Raja burning his hand. What a Tyaagi couple!

Santhi, I sincerely hope they are not watching the present track, SLB atleast was trying to make a legendary love story, these writers are not even sure whether it's a love story, or a saas bahu show or a comedy or a detective story!

I guess The only way to define this show has to be Indian daily show, that's a definition in itself .

As for whether Saras is thinking about marriage or not is not the point. No one in the story is horrified by the very idea that a second marriage is being talked about.

The most disgusting thing is that no one, including Dukhba, VC, Gun, Saras and Kumud is standing up and saying that a second marriage is out of question and not a demand that can be agreed to.

Even now, Saras's argument that they love each other so he cannot marry any one is wrong.

He cannot marry because he is married. Full stop. It's as if the demand of SM is ok, it's wrong only because it's Saras and Kumud. For any other couple to enter into bigamy would've been fine.

That's what's wrong. wrong with this track, this stupid balidan, this whole ma ki khatir shadi.

You know this is the regressive soch of our cvs. When Kumud was married to pramaad, marriage came above love. She was ready to do the shradh to protect her marriage.

She gave a message loud and clear - I am married and that is the biggest relationship

Yet now, she is ready to hand him over to someone else, because for a man polygamy is an option. A good woman will and must allow her husband to take on other women, reason Jo bhi ho. A bad woman is one who will hold on to her man, and say just as I think of none except you, so you must too.

...Why has Mr Mamas Boy Chandra Vyas not announced categorically to the nurse that she is paid to keep his mother calm and must do so, and marriage is not even on the table?

...This regressive thinking that a woman must step aside if the mom wants her son to remarry is cheap insulting and extremely denigrating to women.

...

Hell, pramaad was a monster, yet the cvs treaded so lightly with the whole remarriage thing. Pramaad had to step aside and let her go, she was still shown to preserve her marriage as long as she could.

We have horrible double standards, we still believe that a woman must be subservient to her mom in law and her husband, that while her contemplating being with another man while married is a sin, but the reverse is not true.

All good women must not cling to their men and must allow multiple women into their husbands lives if he or his mom so desire.

Saras is a good man for saying he loves her? Because if he didn't he shouldn't have a problem with another marriage? What sort of poor social message is that. Saras cannot marry because he is married. Marriage and it's sanctity must come before love. For both men and women.

Sorry, bahut gussa aa gaya, but I have been trying hard to treat this track as a comedy, and trying not to give it any importance, but it's making my blood boil, the writers whole attitude to a man can take two wives, if his mommy so desires.

That's why I really admire gauti and Jen even more, to do this so convincingly, when I am sure at at heart they both must be feeling like idiots.
