hi guys...the promos of the show along with the ensemble of cast especially vikas manaktala dragged me to this show...hwever i started watching on tv from today after i completed watching all the 20 epis so far on hotstar at one go...the show is that interesting that i cud watch all the epis in one seating widout skipping any parts...
the story is completely fresh for me since i hvnt watched the movie koyla nor the serial choti bahu as mentioned by someone here...
i can see disappointment already brewing regarding the characters...as for veer he is a plain psycho in a family of psychos...
however i can see some gud pts too in this character...for instance the men in this family r not so superstitious as their mother...
no doubt veer doesnt believe in the fact that shivani's death can bring curse on his life but still he respects his mother's beliefs and in keeping with the promise kept to her he refrains from dragging shivani to bed which is another plus point i can see in this character since 2 (or 3) nights hv passed but shivani has escaped being "raped" by this guy...i hvnt actually seen any real force from veer...
somehow he feels that wives need to be subjugated and they shud willfully become his bed partner...and that became the reason to kill her and after his promise to his mom his decision to inject her to coma since he cannot control her...
as for rangeela the title of this show as well as the promos did tell us that he will be more than a shackled doggy for his master...however wen the stow started i was pleasantly surprised that in spite of being treated less than a furniture ghulaam actually gets all the rights of a servant...11 months slavery and one month of freedom and getting rewards with lacs of money on regular basis...
as for his unfaltering devotion to his master whom he now regards more than bhagwaan i am sure there is a back story...i can guess that he lost his parents at v young age and this family has brought him up but still i feel there may be some more back story too...
as for rangeela's conscience it is there and we can see its glimpse wenever shivani is ill-treated or wenever shivani looks into his eyes expecting protection from him as he had promised wen taking wedding vows...however his innate slavery refuses him to awake to his conscience...that will take time because after all we all know that this story is about his slavery and how he comes out of it...
as for shivani...i think she has shown enuf strength of character since coming to berhampur...it is her strength that veer has not been yet successful in touching her...as for devotion to his spineless husband i agree that is quite OTT but i feel that will play a big role in awakening conscience in him...moreover it is justifiable to some extent since she is a small town girl who is orphan and brought up by mama mami...
the show may be already 3 weeks old but story's timeline has hardly covered 3 days...so i think it wont be logical to expect her to turn into a tigress from someone who is even scared to cross the streets of delhi...
however i like the fact that she knows how to take advantage of her enemy's weakness...she knows now that this family fears her death because of veer and so now she knows that they wont actually physically harm her and is even threatening to suicide if veer dares to touch her...
all in all...the show is fulfilling its promise and the characters hv been well written...the other two bahus r also apt...malda wali doesnt care about the fate of others though i wont call her evil...since her life is a mess so she cares about noone else...moreover she feels dejected since her husband is the eldest son of the family but also the weakest member...hwever i hope she learns to take pride in her husband who is the only one here who has some voice against all the injustices...
as for the mute bahu...she can hardly do anything after being silenced for life...but she can feel for shivani as we can see she is always there with her although she is as helpless in the land of men as the other two women...
so far i really loved the show except today's episode and first time disappointment struck...i am all with rangeela's unwavering slavery and being mute spectator of shivani's state but i just cannot find any justification y he dragged shivani's mamaji in this wen he already knows his frail physical condition...
he cud hv made any excuse to refrain from bringing him here...i hope this will be the only blunder and i will try to overlook this if tmrw they show something of rangeela's conscience by making him save mamaji from veer...
