I watched 2 shows today: YHM & some random daily soap with good looking actors. Posting comments for each of them below. (For both the sets, Shagun & her love-life will be ignored, because I fast-forwarded that bit 😛 😆)
Random Daily Soap (with good looking actors)
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
This was my reaction throughout, even when the hero was getting beaten up (who btw looked smoking hot 😳) and the parents were fighting for him, and he, for the parents. Hilarious episode! And totally enjoyable 😃 Toshi's manhandling, Amma's tamil, Vandu's scattered hair, Sarika's tiny hands fighting, Bhalla ji & Appa's fighting - I was laughing throughout. Then Raman's antics in the hospital and Ishita's scolding, as if he was her kid instead of husband, and he was acting like a kid.
Not for one moment did I feel bored 😆 Of course, for this part I kept logic aside and did not try to find any deeper meaning in any situation.
YHM
When I was looking at the episode through the lens of YHM, I was disappointed. Just because the actors have a good comic timing, doesn't mean everything has to be funny. There were more misses than hits for me today.
Hits:
- Raman flirting with Ishita on phone - They've reached a new level of comfort that I cannot even define, or maybe we're looking at them this way post their consummation. Whatever be the reason, they're now treating each other with more authority, as I mentioned yesterday. The way he called her 'Madam' to Mihir, felt she was missing him because she had called 5 times, asked her to come home quickly, hinted for some alone time for the two of them, blamed her for being unromantic, AND the way she kept telling him to take her seriously, about her nervousness and palpitations - Such a natural conversation! 😳 😳 😳 [Gush Alert: Puttar in white in his new hairdo - If looks could kill, I'd have been dead by now. Never been a KP fan per-se, more of a DivAn / IshRa fan, but KP is pulling me towards himself day-after-day-after-day ☺️ ☺️]
- Ishita's reaction on phone - So tender and heart-touching. She could hear something wrong happening with Raman. The way she was shouting for him, kept calling his name out, her fear was contagious 😭 😭
- Raman's fighting hard, but getting beaten up. My heart went out to him 😭 😭 I couldn't get his blood soaked image out of my mind
That's all the hits I found. Rest everything else was a miss.
I felt that this track had HUGE drama and intensity potential. If they wanted to re-unite the Bhalla family, could've taken an emotional route instead of comic relief. Personally, I wanted to see Raman seriously getting injured and Ishita breaking down for him, the way she has broken down for Ruhi in the past. It had so much scope for all the actors to emote strongly, AND would have been a TRP fest too, because TRP aunties love tears and heroes struggling for life and heroines taking care of them. This could have been that moment for Ishita which Raman had during the earthquake. It'd have been so beautiful to watch. Heart-breaking, gut-wrenching, but beautiful. And the CVs ruined that potential with forced comedy.
Situationally, Ishita scolding Raman was not funny, Toshi treating him like a baby was not funny, him asking Bhalla ji to stay because he's scared of Ishita was not funny. Also, he was beaten black and blue, had so much blood loss that his shirt became red, and he seemed fine to me in the hospital, barring a few scratches, which I couldn't digest 😕 Nothing against the actors because they did great as always, but disappointed with the writing.
Not that I'm not fond of laughing because I am, and KP, DT and the remaining YHM cast has stupendous comic timing 👏 👏 But I had so much hopes from this fight sequence, which all went down the drain 😭 😭
So, as a viewer, I choose to watch today's episode as a random daily soap, with super good looking actors, and enjoy myself. No deeper meanings, no expectations 😃 😃
