I've been a silent stalker of the YHM forum for a while & just now started engaging in the discussions! Also it was a long weekend for me with absolutely no plans - so this is ultimately the product of a lot of boredom! 😉
We know that since the time slot has changed, some tracks have been rehashed with a spin on them. As I watch this track unfolds, I can't help be see direct parallels between this track and the accident track - all the way down to certain scenarios.
Here are some examples...
Accident track: Amma speaks of an ominous horoscope to Ishita
Current track: Amma again speaks of another toofan entering Ishita's life
Accident track: Raman is supportive, helpful, & thoughtful for the first 2-3 weeks in finding the culprit
Current track: Raman is support, thoughtful to Ishita's emotions, and manages Adi like a parent (i.e. Adi should understand his dad's remarried; tells Toshi to let Adi put his dinner items away on his own; questions Ishita about Adi hurting her post-storytelling)
Accident track: Raman does a sweet gesture for Ishita & participates in her aunty's Tamil pooja ceremonies.
Current track: Raman has a Tamil-based pooja, asking for Ishita to be his for saat janam
Accident track: Raman discovers Adi is the culprit and starts hiding things & feels guilty - somewhat irrational but still could feel for him
Current track: Raman bursts in anger at Ishita and based off the OLV is a passive audience member in the "sorry situation" - somewhat irrational again - harder to feel for him bc of his character's sudden 180
Accident track: Ashok confronts Ishita about Raman supporting/being with Shagun. Ishita argues with him but then finds her trust broken
Current track: Ishita is forced to say sorry to Adi and sees Raman not standing up - slowly seeing her trust breaking
Both tracks: Shagun illogically involves Raman using Adi.
Accident track: Shagun involved Raman because she wanted to prove to Ashok that she still had a hold over Raman. For some stupid reason, she thought this would encourage him to make their relationship valid?
Current track: Shagun initially states she wants revenge from the Iyers sisters. Thus she blames Ishita & vows to oust her from the Bhalla house. Now we're seeing this as more of Shagun's attempt to snag a access to a bank account via matrimonial bonds (finally a justification that's a little bit more logical)
Accident track: Raman defends Ishita in front of Shagun but then accuses her in private of hiding the proof that Shagun did not do the accident
Current track: Raman in private during his outburst of anger accuses Ishita of being too nice which led to Adi being separated from again.
Thanks @luvabhiya9 for reminding me about this one!
Both tracks: When it comes to Adi - Toshiji is beyond blind
Accident track: the core issue Raman faced was to save Adi
Current track: the core issue Raman faces is if his perfect family picture of him, Ishita, Adi, & Ruhi can happen
Both tracks: Raman makes a mistake & is greatly hated by the audience!

What's left to continue the parallels in these tracks...
Accident track: Appa has trouble paying for Amma's hospital bills - Raman steps in
Current track: We just saw the resurgence of another Iyer family financial issue - who will step in this time?
Accident track: Ishita's Kali Ma roop came out when she felt Raman was saving Shagun because he still loves Shagun
Current track: the emergence of Ishita's Kali Ma roop is still TBA but it's coming soon...
Accident track: Raman + Simi vs. every other Bhalla & Mihir
Current track: possibly seeing a Raman + Toshiji vs. every other Bhalla & Mihir
Accident track: Raman sees the repercussions of supporting Adi thanks to Adi's actions himself
Current track: Who will show Raman the light of day? Ishita? Ruhi? Adi? Shagun? or what I prefer - Raman coming to a realization himself and making a smart decision
----
Main difference between the tracks:
Accident track: Raman & Ishita don't outright love each other but have a mutual respect/admiration
Current track: Raman & Ishita outright love each other but haven't vocalized it
----
If this this track is infact a rehashing of the accident with a possible separation at the end like the 1st Param track - then boy do we potentially have a long few weeks ahead of us!
The only thing frustrating about the way this track is shaping up is the sudden 180 change in Raman's character. At least in the accident track there was a build up, so you could sort of understand where he's coming from, but here, thanks to the CVs incorporation of some harsh lines during Raman's outbursts - the regression of Raman's character seems more out of left field.
One silver lining if this these tracks are truly that similar - the CVs could possibly give us some closure! The accident track actually had some sense of closure to it unlike the Mani track.
I hope I don't sound totally silly, but hey if the show can be silly and illogical, why not us viewers? What do y'all think?
