For a show that is basically running on a bound script and a fixed number of episodes, of which we are already halfway thru truth be told I was starting to expect a lot, especially in regards with Anshuman.
Its been 2 mere days that these 'mahaepisodes' have begun and there are 3 more to go, and I don't know about you guys but honestly I am kinda beginning to see what a mistake this gimmick is.
When the promo for these extra long episodes aired, implying the deliverance of 2 of the most awaited events - Ayaan accepting Paakhi as his mother and Paakhi learning all the things that she knew so far about Anshuman and his stand on their marriage being a farce, I was giddy with joy. Especially since I thought the CV' are tackling these 2 issues simultaneously and maybe, just may be they would coincide, I had this mental picture as well - of an exhilarated Paakhi sprinting towards Anshuman to reveal to him Ayaan called her mom and seeing him with Tanya, as he promises her that they will wed soon and have this moment where she would be caught between the moment of such huge joy and such a betrayal in her life and couldn't wait for it to happen.
Then I saw these 'mahaepisodes' - the only thing maha about them being the amount of Tanya on my screen, really the show can now be rechristened ' Na kisiki Tanya' with the fact that the majority of scenes are devoted to Tanya either with her dad, Ayaan or Anshuman.
Initially when Tanya came into the picture and we started seeing Anshuman from her POV she had intrigued me, the fact that Anshuman Rathore, a man who craved thrills wanted her to slow down her car and not have them racing to death made me smile, thinking this is now a side of his that is not only trying to be careful but also is somewhat fascinated by the concept of stillness, a Thehrav that Paakhi brings with herself, which seems to be growing on him.
When Anshuman had that moment of contemplation as he inadvertently had remembered Paakhi' APA to Tanya' AT and Paakhi ' refusal to get bail on false grounds against Tanya using Ayaan' childish trusting nature to make him want to go to boarding school, I was one happy trooper. I believed now with the two women together, Anshuman would wake up to the truth that has been staring him in the face all along, but it seems I counted my chickens before they hatched.
Last night, as Anshuman reflects and acknowledges to himself he had been harsh on Paakhi and is truly sorry I thought finally the lad is waking up but oh no, he is simply not getting it.
The confrontation scene which should have made Anshuman have a moment' pang of guilt was wasted, since he was too busy being the spectator, to take the bull by the horns so to speak and tonight it seems he is picking rings with Tanya for their impending engagement.
What is Anshuman waiting for? and why are the writers not utilizing the ample fodder provided?
What happened to the guilt that Anshuman felt when Paakhi landed up in Jail? He started hating his own reflection at the time because he felt he was being such a horrible husband for the first time and also realizing, what a bang up job of being a father he must have done for his son to stoop this low to punish a woman who has never wronged him. What happened to the reluctant acceptance of him finding Paakhi as a woman who makes a wonderful wife, a loving mother, someone so good that he feels inferior to her?
I get it the show must have these moments of confrontation between Tanya and Paakhi but why is it not waking up to the fact that Anshuman has to draw parallels between these women not just in a episode or two, for it to fade later on, but have each of these confrontations serve as food for thought, so to speak, and realize Paakhi is the woman for him and what he had with Tanya, may have been attraction, friendship, a possible case of them making 'sense on paper as a couple' thing but not LOVE, never LOVE.
If the CV' can show Ayaan thrown in a tizzy last night by viewing one footage of Paakhi telling him, she won't let him go to a hostel or that if that happens she too will leave home what is Anshuman waiting for?
Why are the CV' not making Anshuman at least reflect for a scene or two, on his own, without him being brainwashed by Tanya or anyone the difference between the two women and what is it that he feels for them.
And lastly, what in the hell are they doing to Lavanya, seriously, I am not a fan of how she still continues to treat Paakhi or think of her as a unsuitable woman for her brother, but what in the name of all that is holy is wrong with them to make her go this insane? Seriously, they are contemplating Lavanya have a tit for tat approach to the problem at hand in her life, yes Girish has lied to her, betrayed her and hurt her in the worst way possible, but can't the CV' see that looking for toy-boys or indulging in a fake affair, to just get Girish to back off is really not working, honestly my mind is boggled as to what are they doing here I can't even catch a fun side to this stupidity. Had Lavanya, found some friend with whom she unwittingly started an emotional affair, by means of confiding her marital woes and be caught in a zinger, I think I would have appreciated the approach, but what is it exactly that the CV' are trying to put across beats me - are they trying to get Lavanya to commit adultery as a means to lash out at Girish? or are they just gonna show Lavanya flaunting a fake boyfriend here to hurt Girish or what?
And really, why is Paakhi' one lone well wisher not even dropping hints to aid her? If he can drop by have casual chats with Anshuman over a cup of coffee, be game to babysit Ayaan, why not a scene where Girish tries to subtly draw Paakhi ' attention to the truth?
Seriously, I get it Paakhi is the heroine and has to face all these hurdles, and I honestly love her as a character - she is refreshing in her approach, in her outlook, a positive radiant ray of sunshine, not a crying beautified bimbo, like most Indian show female leads, but can they please, please for the love of god, try to get the other characters to grow too? Get em to grown in terms of their characters and on US as the audience, just like they have made us love Paakhi. I get it Anshuman is not a character to be loved or pitied at the moment, but can he not be so daft? And can Lavanya realize these schemes are not gonna help her drive Girish away, only perhaps make her feel more ridiculous and embarrassed of herself when she eventually forgives him.
