Hello TMD Worldwasis,
Today's episode felt like an alternate Universe, where I became a part of the Brar household. While watching the episode, I felt as if I was one with Manbeer's character and feel all that she did for her child... I saw a helpless wife, craving her husbands love and understanding, knowing that will never happen and in that, she became a wall---standing against him, rather with him. So much so, Angad became her only sanity and in that she got so blinded, she forgot, sometimes she truly had to be his mother too.
I could feel Jasleen's pain, owing to the fact, that she lives and breathes in 'victim mentality'... whilst her scheming mind is something that can give local gundaa's run for their money, I just saw a fallen woman with crushed dreams and burdened expectations... I saw a woman with crippled aspiration, birthing and nurturing venom in her heart.
In Saahibaa, I saw a woman fighting with standing in her own identity, to do nothing with her mother, and yet a daughter was hurt beyond measures to what her mother faced. The insults that were hurled at her, the low-life treatment she was addressed with by her own 'so called' husband... that broke her a little more!
In Angad, I saw a man truly broken for the first time---today, rather than feeling he is foolish, I felt that he is broken... and well, that kinda hurt. As for Inder... well, I guess... all of us can conclude the relation that he shares with his wife. But, what I appreciated today was how he motivated Angad without making it all dramatic... he merely shared his views and that he believed his son to be far more mature than he ever was. This also entails, somewhere both Manbeer and Inder forgot that their son needed his parents to protect him, be parents to him... rather, he became their shield, nursing his own heart witnessing his parents do not see eye to eye!
Today was a lot of emotions which spoke volumes about the whole Brar family and the family dynamics... Everyone in the family is nursing a broken heart or trying to mend relations. There is a lot of love and concern, but there are also walls created because of assumptions about one another.
What shook me a little was the precap, where Angad was forcing Saahibaa. Okay, I mean, I understand that both of them do not really like each other... but what is with inhuman behaviour? No amount of heartbreak should lead to such crass behaviour and I suppose, where gender differences already run so deep in our country, it is high time television world revamp its ways to show a couple! I felt a little sick to my stomach anticipating love and friendship between Angad and Saahibaa in the near future... I mean WTF... alas, I do live in a fairytale world in my head!
I see so much potential in SahAn's chemistry, only if CV's naturally tweak their way of being. Tweaking Angad's character in general would be a treat... that would also mean a small win for viewers/fans, I believe.
But all in all, today was more like a game changer episode in TMD world! I was definitely feeling a lot of emotions and a lot of thoughts were pouring in... I genuinely and sincerely hope the creative team become consistent in a plausible storyline rather than adding unnecessary drama, high voltage or not! So take a bow CVs for today's episode! đ
Of course, this is my personal opinion but I really felt like sharing it raw and real! Looking forward to your response on the same!
Love,
Radhika
