🎵S. Janaki: One Voice that Reflected in a Thousand Melodious Emotions
Well, I watch this show on and off,, I was quite amused to see in one of the epis,Sarang's dad blaming Mukta for her father's failures to the extent of terming her jinxed and a few of the family as well ogling at her with venomous eyes...
The show seems meh with the typical rich boy falling for poor girl BS !!
Dāra Ughaḍa Baye is a remake of a Bengali show, Jamunā Ḍhākī.
I wonder if this idea of bad pāyaguṇa is more prevalent in Bengali literature than Marathi literature. Does anyone know?
Ironically, while Rāvasāheba is accusing Mukta of bad pāyaguṇa while she is earning to save her family's home from foreclosure, his daughter Renuka of supposedly good pāyaguṇa brought a pack of cigarettes into the house, stamped with a literal warning of death!
This attitude inside Rāvasāheba's head is as ridiculous as the flat wig on the outside of his head.
The scene of Sarang pleading with Mukta in the dark, with just the moonlight and one candle, was beautifully shot!
Except that the fictional date is the night of Śukla-Pañcamī, when the moon shouldn't be full!
No matter which TV show or movie I see, from whichever decade, they always show the wrong phase of the moon. Would it be so hard for the producers to tell the lighting crew to cover from the top-left, almost three-quarters?
Sarang pursued Mukta around the candle two-and-a-half times, keeping it to his right. Was that supposed to be symbolic of the wedding pradakṣiṇā around fire?
I hope the next episode will acknowledge that Sarang putting kuṅkū at Mukta's hairline isn't a legal marriage ceremony.
It's not legal because Mukta did not consent to marry Sarang. Even if she accepts his gesture and considers herself married to him, the law would only recognize it as a marriage ceremony if it was in accordance with local custom or either partner's tradition, and it was not. Nobody in attendance is wearing kuṅkū at her hairline. It's not a Marathi wedding tradition.
It's copied from the Bengali original, in which Shongeet made an even bigger mess of sindūra falling all over Jomuna's forehead and nose. Applying sindūra after Saptapadī is a Bengali marriage ritual.
I guess Sarang had to do something irrevocable to demonstrate his commitment. Saptapadī would take too long ... he didn't have a maṅgaḷasūtra handy ... he could have simply taken her right hand in his and declared it pāṇigrahaṇa ... or applying a dot of kuṅkū at the middle of Mukta's forehead would have been a more dignified way to demand recognition as her husband.
If I had to write this plot point, I would have done it this way. In the earlier scene of Chandrakala urging Sarang to claim Mukta, she takes out her maṅgaḷasūtra and tells him that his grandfather also had to make a difficult decision. Nānāsāheba Nagarkar had respectability and Chandrakala Imampurkar was the unwed mother of his child; marrying her meant losing face, but he had the courage to bring her into his society. Chandrakala puts the maṅgaḷasūtra in Sarang's pocket to give him courage. When the moment comes to put the ring on Arya's finger, Sarang nervously hides his hand in his pocket and clutches the maṅgaḷasūtra. He pulls it out, ties it on Mukta's neck, and tells her, I already followed you around a burning candle, pledging my love to you. I consider myself married to you, and if you accept, we'll get new vāṭyā for this maṅgaḷasūtra and make it legal.
Whatever gesture Sarang used, I guess the point is that he compromised Mukta's reputation, and now he can make the moral argument that marriage is the only remedy.
Just imagine this happening in real life, a son of a well to do household decides to leave his fiance on engagement day and declares his love for a girl whose status is equivalent to a servant at his house. Rumors would fly and tongues would go wagging, the family will face humiliation. Even bystanders who hear these stories third or fourth hand would call that boy an idiot. Tv serials often minimize or ignore this scenario.
Well love knows no boundaries, it just happens...Sarang not only fell for Mukta but for her sambal vadan too.. Sarang's father is a control freak who cannot see beyond his ego where his son's, wife's happiness lies in ...Wot saddened me was Sarang's mother throwing Mukta our of the house on the orders of her husband...jya devichi 9 days Pooja keli tilach haath dharun ghara baher kadhla!!
I thought Saaniya Chaudhari delivered Mukta's dialogues very well. I wouldn't expect someone who has just been embarrassed, manhandled, and cheated to be simply loud and furious like an organized protestor. High pitch, trembling, croaking, uneven volume - all of that is expected when she is nervous and her survival depends on making her voice heard.
When Mukta was shouting to Atmaram that the patriarchy would pay for disrespecting women, Saaniya Chaudhari even changed her voice to show that she was possessed by a divine force, not speaking as Mukta. Well done!

Yes, I can imagine that the guests who witnessed Sarang's stunt are probably saying that he took advantage of the nearest girl ... maybe Mukta is pregnant ... women are not safe working in the Nagarkar house ... who knows how many others ... what can you expect when a boy lives unchaperoned in the U.S.A. where people hook up casually with all different races ... anyway, Sarang is a sex-crazed fool!
We'll see if Dāra Ughaḍa Baye minimizes or ignores the scandal. Renuka's boyfriend Ved's father is associated with a rival political party. They could make hay of this news tomorrow. The focus right now is on the Nagarkar household and Arya's family, as it should be.

Vaijayanti is a complex character. I believe she was sincere when she offered to arrange Mukta's marriage and help with the cost, and when she told Sarang that if he declared his love, Mukta would suffer the most. However, Vaijayanti right now is reacting to Mukta as the cause of her husband's fury, the explosion that just rocked her household where she walks on eggshells to preserve a semblance of decorum. Vaijayanti's plan to get Sarang engaged right away was ruined simply because Mukta walked through the room. So, Vaijayanti isn't just following orders; it's her own frustration and helplessness that she's taking out on Mukta.
I am not an expert, but Stockholm Syndrome might be the word for Vaijayanti's willingness to mistreat Mukta and prove her loyalty to her husband. It is sad.
I noticed the parallel between Bhakti and Sarang. Both are being restrained physically so that they won't marry someone who would ruin the family. Bhakti's parents know that when Kanta Sheth gets tired of her, she will be their responsibility again. Sarang is financially dependent on his father, so he can't leave with Mukta without being an unsought burden to her. I wonder if this patriarchy-questioning show will verbalize the parallel, or we'll see a double standard.
