Lol TRYING to do really doesn’t count for much when execution is messed up IMO 🤷♀️.Psychoanalyzing the motives of the writers might be a fun exercise but I personally don’t have patience for writers who can’t execute their content well and then try to make excuses like we were TRYING to do this but the audience didn’t “get it”🙄. So very easy to blame the audience rather than take responsibility for lazy writing.The writing is super disjointed and choppy and no, TRPs are not the excuse. They haven’t laid down the characterization basis correctly so it will only continue to get choppier. Their focus is on gimmicks rather than character development. If instead of developing character thought process, all you show is a surface level reactions robotically like they do with Kunal especially, that won’t work.So those of us calling out the bad execution of the cross connection have a valid basis for it IMO 🙂.As I already mentioned before, if Mishti is doing this only for the sake of respecting her family’s wish, STOP called it “marital courtship”. What Mishti is doing is just MEETING a guy. There is NO courtship. The insistence on calling this a courtship is part of the bad execution 👎Originally posted by: Samanalyse
Actually, I think the inconsistency you're seeing is justified by how they've characterised Mishti and Kunal. Neither of them are doing this because they are independently interested in marriage. Both of them are trying to be the acche bacche of their family -- Mishti because, no matter what, she is carrying the bhoj of the Maheshwaris' ehsaan, and Kunal because he's trying to be the reasonable, normal son who holds his mom and brother together.Kunal explicitly said that he will marry whoever his mom says, and finds this whole idea of GTKY (thanks DQ!) very tiresome. He just wants to get this Shaadi box ticked and move on with life. Mishti, to her credit, is giving this an honest try and despite having a connection with Abir already, has consistently attempted to involve Kunal, like she tried to call him first yesterday. She's being made to feel like she's asking for too much even with this shart and if it wasn't for Vishambar's support, Rajshri would have blackmailed her into giving that up too. So she doesn't really want this but the people she loves and feels indebted too are telling her it's what's right so she is trying to see if she can make it work, mostly for them. Most of all, it's all in limbo until Meenu gives the green light, so the lack of initiative makes sense to me.The pacing of the episodes is choppy and they are introducing too many events so it's clouded, but I *think* the whole point of this is irony. Kunal is already doing the GTKY thing with Kuhu unconsciously (he called her directly for a meeting when he told Mishti to make an appointment with his secretary, and they casually talked about things they had in common, like hating poetry). Mishti, who wants to go about this in a practical, formal way hasn't yet given much thought to the fact that she somehow *knows* Abir without really knowing much about him and he trusts her "sabse zyada" without knowing her that well.To speak to the original post, I see what they are trying to do. My only wish is that they would focus on the characters' feelings more and less on dramatic events, but I suppose that's not how we get TRPs now is it?
