We all know that for some reason the CVs etc of this show have decided that we (i.e. they) are in a race against time or at least out to make a new entry in the Guiness Book of World Records for a show track progressing in the most MINIMUM time possible!
I can't believe I am writing this as I usually constantly moan and moan and moan about indian shows dragging, which is my pet hate. BUT - seriously do we have to gallop at this speed! Today's epi should have been a momentous occasion but it literally all got over with in a very short 30 mins (max), which in itself is better than drag but the following really rankled :
1. Too much too soon. From Lux entering in his blood spattered Halloween costume to the whole apologies galore - it felt so rushed. I found it actually offensive that Swara and Shomi forgave almost before being asked. I am not saying bear an endless grudge but after building up so much drama and showing how much they were insulted, both the perpetrators (Shekhar and Dadi) apologised and were instantly forgiven?! Self respect bhi kuch cheez hoti hai ke nahin?! Shomi- if you wanted inspiration- you could have watched the end scene of Baghbaan and learnt from the best 😆!
2. The acting was way off for me today. Usually Sachin Tyagi is spot on- he's a real method actor- today I felt like he was in a poor parody. His scene with Shomi was truly cringeworthy - urrrggghghh!
3. The whole thing felt like a let down and almost too anti climatic. I mean if you were the Mentaleshwaris and Gadodias (heaven forbid and thank the Lord we are not! 😉) wouldn't you need to digest what you saw?! I know it was all in the video but still, they see it, instant understanding dawns and then apologies and Ragz- go home tomorrow?! Huh??
4. Too many unanswered questions! Like Kavya mentioned in her KDR too, the plan SwaSan and Lux made- it felt weird. So he rang them and told them to keep a fake knife handy, which Sanskaar somehow organised after AdRi dropped them off and then what?! They made up the plan, with the pathetic attempt by the CVs to suddenly show Lux ji the mastermind with that random "blowing the candle" scene - LMAO!!!!!
5. Can anyone explain why the filming started from that point? So Lux came in, set up a camera asking Sansku not to say a word before and then when the video was on (taking HD quality no less)- Sanskaar was on cue to ask about the knife and it all got conveniently filmed?! 😆 Kuch bhi kya?!
6. This is not to do with the speed of the epi but WHY the heck is the Maheshwari TV not in the living room but on a random wall where to watch the only place you could sit is the dining table?! 😕😕 Am I missing something?!
7. Not direct about the speed- but in the madness to rush this they had to clearly use a body double for VK for some of the big reveal scenes which wasn't major but still annoyed me 😆. I know, I am OTT!!!
Ok, enough from me but I must have missed some off! 😆
