I understand Ishita feels blessed she is a mother to two wonderful kids- Adi and Ruhi and doesn't feel the need to have a child of her own, and that she is content and all...but WHY does she look so UNBOTHERED? Its one thing accepting your fate and trying to move on in life...its another to behave as if the past few days have not happened at all and fate had been sending you its choicest benevolent gifts๐...its like she booked the tickets to the latest blockbuster and continuously found the theatre housefull...and noncalantly shrugged, "Koi baat nai...picture hi toh hai"..am sorry am having to use such crude examples, but that's EXACTLY how it seems to me
I say this w.r.t her 'adventures' tracking down Ashok's factory (where he has apparently hired children and making them work their arse off like slaves) and trying to gather concrete evidence against him, to land him behind the bars. WHY DOES SHE NEED TO GO GET INTO THIS SUPERWOMAN MODE AGAIN? I am getting TIRED of her behaviour...honestly...why cant she give it a rest?๐ก She can very well go to the goddamn clinic and try to engage herself in other pursuits no? Why THIS? How will it quell Raman's pain or for that matter even BUILD a strong case against Ashok?
The writing is so bad and unnatural these days...we, as an audience should have been pining for Ishita...but naeen...we are banging our heads thinking WHY she is behaving like it was no big deal at all? And just because we have been complaining, right before Raman opts for surrogacy, the CVs will decide to show how SHATTERED Ishita is...how will we connect to the character THEN after this time lapse? Are they idiots??๐ก
That swine didn't get jailed for attempting marital rape (however UNsanctified his marriage to Mihika may have been, it was a marriage๐), didn't get thrashed for trying to molest Ishita TWICE (once during the Bachelor party and again a few weeks ago), got away with his schemes even during the August 15 Ministry Contract wala track, got away with implicating Chand instead for trying to murder Bhalla family though having instigated him fully. The only thing that's common in what happens in his life is, he goes to jail, spends a night or two and comes back fresh and stupid as ever๐
And Ishita and ACP think they will have a SOLID case against him using the ruse of child labour huh? Molestation, bribing, assault, attempt to murder weren't grounds enough so now Children's Rights have to be brought in??
How much LAMER can the script get?!
WHEN WILL I GET THE GOOD FORTUNE OF SEEING ISHITA BEHAVE LIKE A NORMAL WOMAN? She is almost behaving APATHETICALLY now...and I thought this was a baby she and Raman conceived out of LOVE? Then why aren't we being shown quiet, solitary moments of her swimming through this phase...remembering it all...shedding a tear or two? Is it too much to ask? I am tired of this pseudo-superwomangiri...I'd rather see a REAL woman with REAL reactions๐ก๐ก
Today's altercation between Ashok and Raman proved ONE thing to me...NOBODY loves and GETS Raman like this pig Ashok does๐๐..I mean, since the time the miscarriage has happened, Raman has been blaming himself each minute of the day, for being unable to protect his wife and the baby...and today at the party Ashok hit the nail right on the head. He not only called Ishita 'baanjh', but he also remarked that prolly Raman wasn't man enuff to protect his wife...she should've married someone else.
I was wondering - the party had SO many dignitaries present...even if Ashok is a rascal, his image before the world is that of a polished, suave businessman...how does he STILL get to do business with the things he says in public??? He gets away with calling somebody's else's wife 'baanjh' and people are unruffled???Like its an everyday thing to say huh??๐ก He got exposed before the press during the Ministry contract wala thing and STILL people dont feel like kicking him to the curb when he ends up at these high-end parties?? They actually allow him to SPEAK??
And I understand Raman couldn't take it when Ashok said such mean, derogatory things about his wife...as a dutiful, loving husband he did what ANY man in his place would have done. Not ONCE in the past 7+ years has Khanna left Raman to his own devices...not ONCE has he let go of a chance to provoke this man...he is a reminder of all those things that made Raman retreat into a shell of his own till Ishita Iyer came in his life, and turned him around...so yes, Raman did the right thing giving it back to him at the party...In fact, I was expecting Ashok to get slapped hard for the siyappa he was doing๐ก
What I have an issue with is the AFTERMATH. How Raman behaved AFTER he left the party...all he could think of was Ashok's words...and how he really was a loser, unable to do anything for his wife...how HE was the one who led his wife to this miserable, sorry fate...how HE could have prevented the damage from happening...
And while I understand he is deeply pained by what happened, I dont understand why he is holding HIMSELF guilty for it. The fact that Ishita COULD have been a mother and now prolly wont be one, has latched on to his mind in an obsessive fashion and he is desperate to make this dream come true...no matter what...
I realized today. that both Ishita and Raman love each other dearly...but are in two different worlds right now. Ishita WAS carrying the baby and lost it but doesn't look a fraction of what happened with her...she looks ALMOST unruffled..."good riddance" types and Raman looks OBSESSED. They just dont GET each other right now...which is weird, coz ideally...couples dont get into baby-making OR social service right after such a traumatic event...Why cant there be a balance?? Why does it always have to be one end or the other?๐
I really think Raman is going mad with grief now...and behaving very irrationally as well. His wife JUST suffered a miscarriage...how and why does he think she would want to biologically or even VICARIOUSLY (if surrogacy happens) want to go through this experience NOW? Doesn't it take time? But then I kinda dont blame Raman entirely...because Ishita doesn't exactly look like she is withering into a dry flower or something...she goes about her day like the last few days haven't happened...like it was just a nightmare...like it wasn't a particularly big loss.๐
And he thinks she is only keeping it inside coz she's strong...I have an intuition it would all be fine if ONCE, ONLY once Ishita would bare her soul to him...tell him how she felt exactly...tell him about HER broken hopes and aspirations...so in a way, if he is getting all figdety and hasty and clueless and confused and hell-bent on fulfilling his wife's 'dream', its due in part to Ishita as well...
If one's spouse doesn't COMMUNICATE properly on certain issues, it can drive the other into a wall๐
ACP considers Raman a good friend...and he lets the drunken man sleep on the bench outside in a bedraggled state..in full public view?? Dimag kahan rehta hai in sab ka??๐ฒ
The ONLY thing that Ishita said I agree with is - Ashok Khanna isn't important enough to make Raman think little of himself...or feel guilty or whatever..that he wasn't that important to determine the relationship he has with Ishita...I really feel its HIGH TIME Raman STOP getting affected by that loser's words...
Ashok ALWAYS succeeds in provoking him...I have realized it myself - the more you react, the more vulnerable you appear to someone who wants to take advantage of you and egg you on even more. Its not a good thing. In fact, I liked the Raman who dealt in the most badass way with Khanna right after the consummation thing...he nabbed Ashok very strategically๐๐
KP was FABULOUS today!๐๐๐ The scene in the rain, where he was looking up heavenwards and venting his heart out, cursing God for the misfortunes in Ishita's life...brilliant!๐ This has been done countless times in Hindi movies and YET Raman managed to make me cry, it didnt look ONE bit insincere or filmy or whatever...It really looked like Raman was conversing with the hand that sort of sealed his and his wife's fate this way...it shook me up...to see how RAW this absolutely stunning man's emotions are...๐ญ๐ญ how he faltered in his steps, his eyes intense and red, you could make out the tears even when the rain was pouring down on him...
The way it stabs him in the chest when someone calls his wife barren...this is a man madly, irrevocably in love with Ishita...and I shudder to think what can happen if she ever leaves him..by choice or by circumstance...there was this scene where they hugged tight...Raman, holding on to her fearing she might slip away...there was so much passion and NEED in that embrace...gave me shivers down my spine...๐๐
Even my hubby couldn't resist saying today - Karan Patel is a fantastic actor!!๐
DT was BRILLIANT too in the last scene! After days, we got see them together in the same frame for SO LONG! ๐๐ The warmth, Ishita's loving concerned looks at her husband, her sincerity and purity when she said, "Main aapse bahut pyaar karti hun" and "Aap mere hi layak hain aur main aapke layak hun"...it made me clammy and senti inside...she cradled him like a baby, soothing his fears, reassuring him...WHEN WILL WE SEE RAMAN REASSURING ISHITA YAAR?? I truly feel, the way Ishita told him she loved him was MORE spontaneous, more heartfelt than when she ACTUALLY confessed (cupboard mein๐) that she loved him...there was so much understanding and reverence for this man...she was getting swept away in his love..in all the little and great things he does for her...there was so much love when she shouted at him in the car, when she supported him as his steps were faltering, when she cradled his heart and assured him of her love...and the mightiest was - when she told him only HE was worth her...and nobody else...its like, "Tum kuch bhi keh lo...tumhare liye toh main hi hun aur mere liye tum"...there was so much apnapan in that bit...v v well executed!!๐๐๐
And though it was a heart-rending scene, it had a subtle hint of sensousness in it as well...the two drenched in rain, in each other's arms, finding solace in each other's eyes...lovely! If ONLY the Mohabbatein between them attained a level of sanity where Raman and Ishita behaved closer to normal๐ I'd be happier!
That said, the LOVE and the trust between the two is just PALPABLE...And while I admire Ishita's strength, sometimes, just sometimes..it feels nice to also be at the receiving end and cry into ur hubby's shoulders...you dont always have to be the strong one.๐
I couldn't post the review yest...but I had a niggling question - WHERE DID MANOJ GET HIS DEGREE FROM? Honestly..he calls himself a DOCTOR??๐ก WHICH doctor in the world just JUMPS to surrogacy as an option instead of trying out every other treatment on the block??? Why the f is he in such a hurry??
As for Rinki, am damn sure she is seeing someone behind her hubby's back...what else would the L size shirt be doing in her brown paperbag when Mihir doesn't even wear that size?? This is getting interesting day by day...would like to see WHO this guy is...who's completely ransacked her brains!!๐ณ I hope Simmi finds out about it.. I wonder how Toshi is gonna react to this๐
And Raman, PLEASE give the baby a rest...and Ishita, PLEASE dont behave like Mother Teresa...do us a favour and atleast show SOME tendencies of someone who has undergone a trauma...
