Misti,

Y'day's episode for most of us was satisfying because it answered alot of our questions. The talk of Dev and Radhika has already been discussed by you and the others and I have nothing much to add and I also concurr with your views.

If Radhika is found to be pregnant tomorrow will MR foul-mouth Radhika especially because she has already disclosed the fact to Abhay that she is aware of the intimacy shared by him with Radhika or will it be used to review the situation and cause some major damage to Radhika? In the eyes of the society Dev and Radhika are husband and wife, it is only in the eyes of MR that he is Abhay.,will she be forced into a situation to accept Abhay as Dev. MR's doing away with Radhika is the only option left so that she can establish Abhay as Dev and Kanika as RP. When Abhay gets to know this, will he get rid of the guilt and obligation towards MR for good?

Are the CV's going for the emotional track to draw the audience? It is far better than the melo-dram if they can up with good dialogues and portray feelings which is a part of human behaviour. I still have my hopes that this track will be dealt with properly and thereby justify the leap and the difficult days the PB family had to go thro' in the absence of Dev.

Misti ... loved your review as usual 😆... apparently, your humorous reviews were desperately needed in the past couple of weeks

Thankyou.😉

I am watching the show after a couple of weeks, and caught up by reading up on a couple of episodes ... also watched an episode a few days back

I have always loved the character of Dev bcos he had the right streak of idealism, capacity to empathize, a quality of wanting to do the right thing but was also passionate enough to go after what he wanted. He managed to juggle and balance what was needed of him as a RP but did not give up on what he wanted as a person. He had a larger than life persona in some instances - this took away from the dreariness of watching the female lead being abused and made you believe that she was protected and cared for. Not only that, I primarily liked the fact that he was uniformly respectful and protective of all women, not just Rads and always believed in doing the right thing. I liked and understood why he behaved the way he did after causing Vish's miscarriage

All yes and your last sentence regarding Vishaka..this is why I got irritated when they showed Dev slapping Vishaka.......that day for the sake of cheap gimmicks and melodrama they brought down Dev tremendously for me.

So while Rads is definitely the main character in this show and helped draw me in, for me the show became more interesting and differentiated itself from other shows bcos of the way they characterized Dev. Avinash and Rubina were excellent in their respective roles and got me hooked to the show

Yes

I dont even know where to begin now 😡
Oh good ...you are ranting........
I liked what they showed of Abhay initially and this track could have been handled so beautifully if, at a minimum, they had focussed on Abhay emotions ... It is appalling that they have treated the male lead (and a favorite one at that) in such a shabby manner
- took more than a month to show Abhay's point of view and reasons for his actions ... at a minimum they should have shown this from day one.
- today, when they show his POV, why is he shown blaming Rads for their SR ... if he is so much in favor of dharm, wont he blame himself for SR...
- what is the point of having a five year leap and not showing how one of the victims of the leap feels ... how does a man feel if he has not had any relationship with his wife for 5 years and does not remember anything ... also when he suddenly feels an intense attraction for a woman he has just met and is the rest of the time just staring at a payal and kissing up to his MIL... what a horrible life that must be!!
- SR was such a huge mistake and i was hoping it was his/her imagination ... how do they even justify his rant of meri biwi after this ... why mess with his character in this way?
- i thought Avinash did a great job of capturing the essence of abhay .... but they gave him no dialogues except to have him stare endlessly at a payal, say meri biwi mera bacha a few times and then alternatively either gaze at Rads adoringly or look at her in anger ... what a waste of a track !!!

Avinash's acting was good but was not again consistent.......I can't blame him for this, if there is no screenplay, no dialogues and no one to guide you it is very difficult for the actors to portray emotions consistently. They need something to work on and here Avinash for most of the time did not have anything.

Now, they have brought back Abhay the original ... so instead of this being an emotional connection and a divine love story, it has become a detective who done it kind of story ... kanika and rajjan possibly will get the credit for revealing the truth ... i thought this story was about dev and radhika rediscovering each other ... instead it seems to be abt rajjan and kanika

I actually do not know who this track is about........I think it is about Radhika and Rajjan.......the two logical characters in the show now.

I am losing hope that these set of writers even know who or what they are writing for ... forget abt dev they are not even consistent with how they portray abhay

Exactly....I have kept Dev aside because that Dev might not return.......and Abhay he is one confused person who is confusing everyone...that just shows the confusion present in the writers head.

The only thing i would tell zee tv as they launch new shows is that building up new characters that people love and want to watch and choosing the right actors to play those roles is not an easy task, as they can see from the TRPs of their new shows. When you have all of that , why do you mess it up? Writing future story lines involving enough drama, emotion should be relatively easy for this show if they would only put on their thinking caps ... why are they finding it so hard?

Why are they finding it so hard.......well actually they are not, they are just not interested. If they had been then they would have got decent writers.

Misti,

When i put my comments today I was not aware of the news floating

about the closure of the show.

Just a thought, if they are going for a quick closure will it end up as a tragedy? The forum and the audience will feel even terribly let-down if this happens when the people to be punished go scot free and the real bhakt ends up with the rough end of the stick.

Whether it is a tragedy ora happy ending it is not going to have the lasting effect if the show gets pulled off suddenly. This track has the potential to make up for the previous blunders. I do hope they manage to give a meaningful ending to the show.
