Nahin to hum kaha jaaye rant karne keliye

Since you have written whatever I felt, I am skipping that part and writing my feelings regarding the whole Delhi track. Also since it is coming to an end, want to share why the track could have been a hit and how the CVs missed the bus totally.

One major plus point in Undinon was that there were no completely negative characters till the Delhi track.

Be it Rakesh or Bina or Tauji (Does anyone know his name in the serial) or Arjun or Bobby and even Vishaka, all are just different shades of grey.

The negative traits most of them showed were selfishness or greed or narrow mind or frustration of failures.

No one plotted manipulatively to hurt anyone intentionally and certainly no one wanted anyone to be killed.

This is what made the serial very relatable to our real lives.

But with the introduction of Dadi, everything changed. Now suddenly we were seeing an old woman who went even to the extent of not caring if Sameer gets hurt or killed when he was lost in Delhi.

This was the biggest mistake they made.

If viewers wanted to see such a vamp, they can as well watch the innumerable Saas Bahu dramas coming on other channels.

Instead if they had kept Dadi just as a selfish and narrow minded woman, who cannot accept Vishaka's first born as her own, it would have been a wonderful track.

She could have behaved like Taiji does with Rakesh, making Sameer always feel unwelcome.
The KeDi drama was absolutely not necessary.

They could have showed the siblings bonding, Bobby also warming upto Sameer, which might not be to Dadi's liking but she could have just shown as indifferent to Sameer.

The Mawali gang track was not at all required and certainly not the eve teasing or sexual harassment drama.
Today when the boys said that they will show Sameer "Jannat" or something like that, I just hoped that they were not taking Sameer to some prostitute. Thank you CVs for not showing that.
YESS>>> OMG that is what I thought too.

What an opportunity lost by the makers. They totally ruined the Delhi track.

Now I am hoping that with the Delhi track ending, we will not see more of this Ekta style drama anymore.

Precap: Shubh shubh socho ladies (and gents if any)
Instead of Shanti teacher leaving, maybe Rakesh will be dismissed from the school for spreading such rumors.
Just imagine if Shanti and Lochan sir are married, how awkward it will be for them and their spouses.



Kavi... in a rush so for now just saying ditto ... same thoughts... 👍🏼

Sorry, the episode is yet to be telecasted here after few hours. Could not help from peeking in here. Did Munna slap Sam for his errant ways or because he thought he lied to call them to Delhi. I really wish it is the former. I am just happy that things are gradually falling in place



I saw it online and all that was shown in the precap was Mundit arrive at his house, they hug and then a really angry Munna slaps Sam. Pandit is standing there looking disappointed. They didnt show what lead to the slap.
Friday's precap is usually clips from Mon-Wed episodes so we should get to see this play out by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Nivi thanks for the update. This is the only episode I watched this week. That too after your update.

Request to the CVs-

Please think logically before you write a track. Most of us have loved the show because it was quite close to reality, realistic characters and situations and oh those subtle things about the 90s. Those of us who are 90s kids can relate to this show. It makes us nostalgic as we can relive those days through these characters. Please do not add cheap characters and drama and spoil yoru own creation. This Delhi track could have been handled in such beautiful manner.

So daadi does not like Sam because he is not Somani. We get that. Why not show it in some manner that did nt look so cheap for a 70 year old lady? She could have been indifferent towards Sam in several ways. So why make it a saas bahu type drama when you could have gone like the classic movies of the 70s and 80s? A track based on Khubsoorat with Daadi playing Dina Pathak's role and Sam breaking rules like Rekha would have been a much classier way to show the track.
Also you wanted to show Sam is away from Naina and the gang and hence he goes in bad company. But how logical was that at this stage of the show? Showing Sam in bad company would have been appropriate when he first came to Ahmedabad.
So you wanted to show Sam is getting bored and hence he indulges in wrong doings. Why? A person who is artistic like Sam ( perhaps you have forgotten Sameer Sang Naina card or his ability to write poems), and who is so much in love would logically day dream about his love, write poems for his love. Instead, Sam's character growth was just wiped away. NO sibling bonding, no significant mother and son bonding. Total waste. Not to mention the loopholes.

CVs you have missed a wonderful opportunity for a nice track.

Today's episode what I liked..

Naina, Preeti, Chachi Taiji scene was very realistic
Naina , Amrita scene was cute

What I failed to like

Sam and his mawali gang
Daadi still stooping low
Rakesh...seriously...I hope this leads to his downfall...I hope he loses his job...

Note-
In this show, Sam makes all the mistakes, he pays for them. I like that. For if you makes mistakes, you should pay for it.
But what about Rakesh , Daadi? And I guess Arjun will never be redeemed.

Nivi, you are back 😃!

Precap was the best part today 😆 Delhi track.. I get that Sam could get into bad company with the hostile environment at home but if they'd shown that before Vishaka turned into caring mom and he was still struggling to get in touch with Naina, it would have been more impactful. Kind of feels weird that Sam is talking to Naina, writing her letters but is still into the mawali gang.. kind of negates the basic characterization and growth of Sam.. but khair, given Munna's resounding slap, will let it go. 😆


Other random thoughts/observations:
- Chachi is love!
- Wonder where Naina gets the money to make the phone calls
- Deepika-Sam relationship is cute! Am also curious about her not including him in her pic (just for dadi to show her artistry 🤢)
- Rohan baba can talk but did he not realize bro Sam wasn't in school the whole day? 😆
- CVs really need to stop with Rakesh - aur kithna neecha dikhayenga iss character ko? And to what end?


PS: To all those celebration New Year's on April 14th, here is wishing you all an awesome year ahead!

Yay ! The mommy Munna in action🥳. Vishaka the real mom has no clue being under the same roof as her son but Munna comes and finds out the real deal with Sammer and his wrong ways and gives Sameer the much needed and deserved SLAP ! 👏 The expressions Munna gives out is stupendous just like a disappointed parent. Superb. Can't wait to see this slap. Hopefully Mundit will fix Sameer and leave and their friendship stays intact ! I am loving this if MunDit are the ones to bring Sameer on track.

@bold: Ditto! 😆 Mentioned this on the LU too.. Am so glad that MunDit are the ones that get Sam back on track instead of the cliched FL ka payaar changing the bigdaa huva ML (well that already did happen on the show but still 😆 )

Nivi, I haven't watched the episode. Came here just to read your episode analysis.

Appu Ghar I don't know how many here have visited Appu Ghar or have heard about it, but for us out of Delhi kids, Appu Ghar used to be a dream back then. Every time I visited my Badepapa's house in Delhi, I would force my parents to take me to appu Ghar. Such was it's charm❤️ Reading about it brought back all the wonderful memories
Today there are 3 amusement parks in my city, I even enjoy going there. But kuch chize aisi hoti hain jo hmesha special rehti hain, Appu ghr is one such memory❤️

And you people are so right about Munna. He is indeed Sameer's mother. I have only one complaint from the Cvs. Only if once, they could have shown Sameer writing letters to Mundit. They were his jaans. Long distance relationship sirf gf/bf ke sath thodi hta hai, best friends ke sath bhi to hota hai😊


I completely agree with Rose and Canapoem (sorry guys, don't know your names). Delhi track could have done wonders for the show had the makers chosen another path. But chalo finally it's ending.



Finally, thankyou so much Nivi for this thread, for giving us space to write anything about the show, be it praises or criticism. And you always reply to everyone's comment here. You are a gem of a person🤗

Hey Nivi, I am a silent reader of your posts. Thoroughly enjoy your analysis and the pictures you share everyday. I am usually at work due to time difference, so forget to reply.
Thought I did make a pit stop today and thank for all the times your analysis has helped me catch up with the detailed version of story even without watching it until 10 hours later 😛

Again great review today!! I am just a bit skeptical after seeing Sameer's expression post the slap. Hope he behaves well with M&P or maybe they could give him some more slaps to knock better sense😆

Thank you for the thread NIvi..😊

Posts in this thread have said all that I wanted to say..👏

The Delhi track and its characters -- unloved, so formal, so distant - if this was the intention of the writers then they have achieved it.. wondering is is it just Bad writing or done with a specific goal in place?? Cannot believe that they hired a bungalow in Madha island - must have cost a bomb and then mess the track up..😲😲

So wished that they showed Mundit apprehensive of taking such a long journey, but then their concern and love for Sameer gets better of their fears.. would have been realistic... though N's vo did tells us something, feel that isn't enough.. Again Amrita and N - conversing like friends for a long time..some kind of background and attention to details adds to the show..

Samaina's phone convos have always been engaging.. but this time felt that it was a one-way conversation Naina wants to everything with S, even wants to narrate the story of a film.. and S hiding/lying 😒
N and her bike ride wish in Delhi .. Masoom nirdosh pyaar waali Naina is taking baby steps 😳

Precap - thappad -- writers do not disappoint us pl...it should be for the reason what the audience is expecting..Munna mummy has been Sam's conscience keeper and Pandit too.. let them be this time too ...

Any member of A'bad track just lights up the screen.. Bela chachi is just..⭐️👏 so next week we will get to see Naina's filmy dream 😳
