I watched episode 152 (Raghav drunken Act) again today. I had watched this particular episode only once when it was originally telecasted and basically it was my second viewing too. I noticed some things today in this episode that I couldn't in first viewing
First the dialogues were so heartfelt. It was like I am experiencing Raghav pain. He talks about why pallavi lied to amma that she will come and break promises. And when he goes to d family house , his voice had that helplessness that we feel in love when he called pallavi with her full name "Pallavi Raghav Rao ". It's like ok you may forgotten your duty but I haven't. And when he mutters those telugu dialogues about unconditional love. Then he talks about she is a dream which has turned into reality and he doesn't want to lose it(At this moment I am convinced that there was no Eisha in Raghav life in original storyline. he only loved pallavi his whole life and this E track is forcefully added in the last leg of the show just to glorify sp love for third angles).Now when he starts counting for pallavi to come out and at last 5 no , his voice breaks. I must give it to Sai for voice modulation(I will count this sequence as one of the best performance of Sai in this show). And when pallavi doesn't come out he calls her dhokebaaz and cheat . It feels like his philosophy about love that it kills you is coming to life and is being applied on him.
Second thing is in first viewing I was trying to understand pallavi pov but couldn't connect with her. I didn't hated her then but disliked the fact that she missed her husband important event but after watching it again I realised that all events in the episode went in a flow and pallavi wasn't at mistake. Her restlessness was at peak when kirti didn't let her mansion and meet raghav and also when she couldn't call raghav after coming to d house from mansion. I haven't seen pallavi this restless till now.
Pallavi longing for raghav was on the same level as that of raghav longing for her if not greater. When farhad takes back raghav , she goes upstairs and cries out his name but to no avail. You know this scene reminded me of beauty and beast story when beast is dying and belle is desperately trying to reach him.
It is the same episode which caused storm in IF , twitter and insta and after this episode telecast Sandeep Sickand posted a message and informed about track change. And today I am thinking why did SS had to bow down at that moment in front of audience. He should had confidence in his creativity. We would have gotten to see what pallavi and raghav dynamics would have been after the misunderstandings get over the head just like how we are seeing in E track. Like In E track How raghav is trying to be humble , keeping aside his ego and reputation and trying to be pallavi's Raghav.What pallavi would have done after Raghav finally gives her freedom to serve d family and not keeping any expectations from her to come back to him. What would had been her reaction and would she had realised where she went wrong in her Insanyinat. Like I wanted so much answers after watching this episode. This episode was setting base for bigger things in track. The preview too was different in which pallavi was still in managla gauri clothes and snapped at mandar. But what was actually shown in episode 153 was clearly a hush hush reshot episode.There was no consequences of previous episode and characters weren't in their form especially Raghav. The sudden reconciliation of raghvi and abrupt change of track aftet this particular episode surely feels a little bit disorientated and I can understand why majority of audience felt disconnected after this event.I am too feeling this and have this incomplete story thought even after second viewing.
For me this track is destroyed mostly due to audience and to some extent makers. If only audience had kept it's patience and makers had confidence in their creativity we would have seen some new dynamics in raghav pallavi relationship
Sorry for long post
Feel free to disagree with me 😊
