I knew the day would come when i would make a post titled "the last five episodes" cause i mentioned it in the first everthread of this forum that i made exactly three months ago on Feb 24th....it had been 5 days dince the show started and i made a thread about the first five episodes of the show....while i expected the show to end within 6 months (the core plotline couldn't have been streched more than this) after completing 150 episodes i sure did not exprect it to end within 70 episodes....this show had the perfect cast , hope they get better projcets soon...let me post what worked and what didn't ;
What worked ;
The acting ; Litterally everyone were amazing in the show , when i started to watch the show I only knew two of the cast members ; Dharmesh sir (Hemraj and Shyam from Hasratein) , and Sandeep Kapoor (Dhawal) , but the rest of the cast grew on me as i watched the show...everyone were spectacular in their roles
What didn't work ;
Streching and the rushed ending
While i clearly mentioned above that the core plotline couldn't be strechedto infinity , they surely streched the marriage track for 50 episodes...like why? They should've finished the marriage track by ep 35 and Dowry revelation should've happened by ep 40 and the rest of the show should have been about Nandhini's battle to get her dowry back (a 30 episode arc) granted they didn't know that the show would be axed soon and they would've had an initial plan to execute the battle track for en no of episodes but the makers knew that the show was getting offaired last month and yet the truth was only revealed in ep 64 (6 episodes before the show ended) why? She could've learnt the truth by ep 55 or 60
She learnt about the dowry and won by the next 6 episodes...too rushed
Hemraj's realisation was well done but....
Being a hats off show i know thier tendancy to glorify toxic relationships but Hemraj becomes the pramukh of thebcommunity again? Really? It's great that he gave back the dowry but here's how they could've handled the whole thing
They could've sent him to prison and could've made him repent for his sincs for 3 or 4 episodes and then a minor time leap later he could've apologised to Nandhini and given back everyone's dowry .Dharmesh sir would've performed those scenes excellently causes that's the logical thing to do , you can't forgive someone easily just because they are the "Eldest" in the family....demanding dowry is a crime and punishment should be shown and not glossed over.....they should've shown his regret a bit more organically than what was shown...him seeing the error of his ways in less than 24 hours and managing to overlook his belief system which he has had his entire life felt like fanfiction and was far from reality.....the writers realised this and tried to do damage control by making her FIL asking her to guide him and made her the co head of the comunity was fine but still not enough
The prison sentence redemption and him getting released and returning the dowry and having a somewhat civil relationship with his son and Daughter in law would've felt more realistic than the sacchrine sweet ending we got
THE MAKERS MADE A SHOW WITH THE INTENT TO CONVEY THAT DOWRY IS A CRIME BUT ENDED UP SPREADING THE MESSAGE TO FORGIVE YOUR IN LAWS WITHOUT REPORTING THEM TO THE COPS....familes can only be forgiven if they are capable of understanding and change and are just mildly toxic like the Ratansis (It's difficult to forgive them rven in such scenarios)
Hemraj's realisation was driven by the fact that the dowry he gave for his brother's daughter wasn't enough and the poor girl was being tortured in her house....i thought that the girl's mother would've left for her daughter's house and brought her back but she was busy in Nandhini's welcoming ceremony the next day weirded me out but Hemraj said that he has arranged a flight ticket for her daughter....like isn't someone going to fly to her place to bring her back? That girl has been tortured in her house like where are your brains? The mother should've flown to her house
I know that this being the final episode writers didn't want to include unnecessary scenes like that but they could've flashed a message on screen like "2 days later" and shown the same scene of Nandhini getting welcomed with the daughter being present in the house with her mother....i blame the writers the actors were excellent no complaints on them...
The patting yourselves at the back kind of dialouges like "Nandhini brought a revelution in the society" felt more cringe than empowering...like i said in my first thread this show would've been considered a groundbreaking show if it were made in the year 2000.....this entire concept seems outdated in 2024 for instance the girl who was said to be tortured in today's episode; this is not the 90's for the girl to keep quiet due to stigma of divorce or whatever , any woman would've gone striaght to the cops
At the end of the day it was a show and the actors were amazing in it
The writters tried to conclude many subplots in the last five minutes but left out a few....like what about Hemraj's brother and his son cheating him in buisness? I know i should be happy that they atleast concluded the main storyline and didn't leave it hanging , in a nutshell I'm just glad that the show didn't end on a cliffhanger like it did for the other off aird shows of the same prodcution house like BBSAH and Mahisagar...they were informed a month prior to the show's cancelation and they actually gave a conclusion to the show by purging their existing episode bank (they atleast have 26 eps in their bank) and creating new ones to give the show a proper conclusion (however rushed it was) now i hope that BDSAH had also gotten a proper conclusion than a cliffhanger ending :(
Kuch reet jagat ki aisi hai was good and the cast members were AMAZING , wish to see the actors in more shows
but I agree, they could've done a lot better. 
but the cast was amazing! 😍
the new show Pukaar which replaced this is a blatant copy of Sony SAB's Vanshaj so compared to that , this show was miles better
