Misti, hilarious commentary.
But why so surprised by snakes?😆 They were supposed to come at one point or another but right now seems to be on demon chacha's side. Where are the snakes from Takshak gufa who crawled all over Dev and fell in love with him so much that they went to that town (forgot its name but where Dev was supposedly building hotel for Katyani) to protect Radhika?
Some random comments from me as you have covered everything:
1. Did wonder about BB's reaction? Was it Pragati who was playing it this way or is this supposed to be a story where BB is wary about chacha and is not his best friend as he seems to think she is. Now my question is because these creatives start something but it never goes anywhere. For example, Chenu has not been shown once thinking about visiting Radhika now that his vardaan is not working. So that story is now on hold until further notice (by demon chacha).
2. Yesterday was wondering about that mangalsutra and new makeup of Barkha devi. So thought that maybe it was due to family now calling her daughter and Dev calling her sister. But she is back to being fake wife with her old get up.
3. Tu-tu mein between Barkha and R/K has been replaced by demon chacha and R/K. In some sense I prefer it over Barkha as Barkha was nobody and so didn't like that type of scenes. Demon chacha is now powerful than Kanha and gets big victories where R/K's small victories of turning snakes into garlands is used to pacify viewers. I would have prefered Dai getting bitten by snake for a change. At least that would take out Dev from his bubble world for little time.
4. Not that these creatives have cared for viewers' reaction ever, but can they stop showing R/K as this worried upset God. Previously it was Dev who never got monologues. Now it is R/K who is not getting any. Why not show him in scenes with Balram where he is shown smiling and telling Balram that it is all part of plan? Is this suspense supposed to engage audience. From the reaction on the forum, it seems that all it is doing is irritating even the most tolerant viewers
5. Can they stop calling Dai this pure soul? The pure soul was berating badly Radhika during Dada's heart attack that her obsession of Dev brought this shame to the family. In fact Dev had intervened to stop her abuse. So that abusive person went after Radhika who did so much for the family and who was the only one in that family to give her proper respect of a family member (all others except Dev treated her as a servant) with a vengenance. Now R/K is constantly calling her the purest one when Kanha's main devotee was abused by the same person. Honestly I was wishing for snakes to bite Dai. I had actually applauded demon chacha when he got rid of Urmila who was getting on my nerves with her screeching. So can demon Chacha be shown successful and get rid of Dai for viewers' peace of mind. Barkha can be next.
6. Your comment about chacha using Rohan's mannerisms is funny. Though I personally prefer Rohan's sneering over Chacha's as I am not a big fan of Aman Verma based on what i have seen from him in Na aana. But that raises an interesting point. Did Padma had an affair with demon chacha outside of marriage at one point and Rohan is the result? Here I was thinking of Padma as a suitable companion for Dada but then when demon chacha took her hand so lovingly and caressed it against his cheek, this marriage between demon chacha and Padma did come to mind. Instead of your scenario of Dev doing Kanyadan of Vaishali with chachu, here it would be Rohan doing the honors. Also we can have some dance and song sequences for a change instead of all these havans and power struggle between demon chacha and R/K.
Now onto my main comment:
I know many loved Dev and R/K's scene but it irritated me immensely. All I wanted to do was whack Dev on his head when he was talking to R/K. He is now whitewashed to the extent that Radhika is called most fortunate by Kanha for having Dev's love. So he is shown concerned when Radhika hasn't eaten (by the way where was that concern when she was keeping nirjal vrat for him during Rohan's fake wife phase or on the Karvachauth day), but this same person was not concerned when Radhika was missing for a month. He did look for her two or three days after her disappearance (sufficent period for her to be harmed) but didn't bother to inform either her family or police.
Now he was shown asking for her problems when before he had started accusing her of insecurity the minute she tried to explain her problems regarding Barkha. So with right is he asking her to share problems.
He is telling her that all will be ok as Barkha will be getting married soon an they can start their lives together. Is that his wish or has he bothered to know what Radhika wants.
Then I wanted to whack Kanha (not the real one but this CB Kanha) when R/K assured Dev that he will never let Dev break. So in other words assuring Dev that he would never lose Radhika. Why should Dev not be broken down when he finds out about Radhika. He broke Radhika many times but especially at the end. Radhika was broken down in the first phase when he forced her to keep silent about her childhood marriage (and thus forcing her to go against her 12 year faith and hiding from her family about the true identity of KK). But she understood him because she found out about his obligations towards PF.
Now Dev and Radhika have very different personalities. Radhika gets guilt ridden easily when Dev shifts his guilt on to her. So she started feeling guilty about Rohan being injured even though she was not responsible as it was Rohan who started the fire in his rage. So much so that she decided to come as Rohan's fake wife and also tolerated Padma's atrocious behavior. She felt guilty when Dada emotionally manipulated her or when Dai/Padma combo did that after Dada's death. So she made another bad decision and influenced Dev in picking up Barkha. That's why she was so broken and upset when she realized that Barkha was the most evil of all and now controlled property and RPtain title.
Dev on the other hand shifts his guilt to Radhika conveniently. He blamed her for his and Rohan's shortcomings. Then he made her responsible for picking up Barkha when it was he who had taken the decision after his own fear. That's why Radhika felt so broken down when Barkha turned out to be the biggest betrayer. Then instead of listening to her (that only after he got irritated with her for hiding her problems from him and told her that he trusted her), he blamed her for her insecurity when it was he who was feeling guilty about depriving her of her rights and for Barkha getting credit for Radhika's work both at home and in Muth. So Dev is an expert on shifting the blame and guilt on Radhika and Radhika's weakness for him lets him behave that way.
So R/K and Dev conversation instead of creating a pleasant scene was extremely irritating as R/K was smiling indulgently at Dev for his "love" when his actions show otherwise. What is the use of claiming to everyone that Radhika is everything to him when his actions don't demonstrate that? So why is Kanha so worried about Dev's breakdown when he wasn't worried about Radhika's breakdown. Doesn't the law of Karma implies that Dev deserves to get that punishment. Or is it because Barkha is supposed to be let free and Dev is never supposed to know that Barkha tried to kill Radhika?
That brings to the second point. How many times will we get a scene where Barkha is shown jealous (Kanha's game) and then there is some silly game involving Barkha and then everything is back to square one as far as Dev's evolution is concerned. This had already been done several times in last three months and I guess will be done again and again until this demon chacha track gets over.
Finally, why is Dev assuring Kanha that R/K should leave everything to Kanha. It would make sense if it was Radhika where both take turns to cheer each other up. But why should R/K look so worried and needs assurance from a devotee? How long are they going to insult viewers' intelligence? Oh I forgot, they have been doing that for four months now. On top of that, they are making Kanha look narcissist. He is worshipping himself by pouring water on his own idol or doing other things. I know they show R/K doing that because Dai asks R/K to do that. But the way they linger camera on R/K and then idols of Radha-Krishn makes such scenes look ridiculous.
Finally, liked Avinash, Rubina, Mickey and Pragati for their acting.
Edit: Misti, they have used some of your lines today. Today R/K said that it was nothing special what demon chacha was doing in controlling Barkha, Virat, BB as anybody can control them because of their traits.
