**********************************************************************************************************
Let me start by saying that the episode as a whole was
not horrible. There were good parts, some ok parts and one gigantic flop. But
of course like in any case, it is the blunders that take the limelight. The
episode was good but it is overshadowed by that one ill-timed scene.
The first scene was magical. It was an epitome of Maan
and Geet's relationship. It was funny, romantic, and sensual. Geet was her
innocent self, with Maan in his best seductive avatar. Geet is focused on
getting ready for the rituals and is initially oblivious to her hubby- to-be's
not so saintly intentions. This man sure
knows the art of foreplay via wordplay. Asking her to change clothes in front
of him, saying that he would not object, tsk tsk tsk! But trust Gee to resist Maan's seductive
ways. It is this tug of war that makes their relationship a treat to watch.
Coming back to the episode, Maan tries to trap Geet, but it is him whom gets
trapped. He is completely under her spell when she uses her mouth to untie the
rope. She knows that she got him right where she wanted, distracted, so that
she can free her other hand. Isn't it refreshing to see such a clever heroine?
Post marriage, it would be interesting to see a role reversal with Geet being
the aggressor in intimate moments. We live in the 21st century; it's
not too much to ask.
Pinky and Adi scene was very endearing. Finally, we got
to see a glimpse of the much desired Adinky. The rest of the office staff is
also always welcome on screen. Now on to the rituals, Maan's love for Geet is
evident in his eyes as his looks at his bride. The look Maan and Geet shared
while sitting on the mandap was a reflection of their relationship. While, Geet
was very much a blushing bride and Maan her groom, there is a comfort level
between them that only comes from knowing the other more than one's self. They
don't back out of an opportunity to tease one another. It's such a refreshing
aspect of their relationship. When time comes for the Kanyadaan, Darji, returns
to the picture. Although Geet is troubled by his presence Maan remains calm.
His calmness suggests that he was somehow behind Darji's sudden appearance at
the wedding. If he did such a thing, that is very considerate of him.
Now on to discuss the much talk about Arjun and Annie.
While it is true that the viewers are not too fond of their romance, we had
come to accept it at least to some extent as a fact of GHSP. The audience is
smart and we understand the need of secondary characters to support the leads.
However, the CVs should not take this for granted and try to force feed the
audience Arjun/Annie scenes. What made today's episode a hard pill to swallow
is just that. Interspersing the much
awaited Maan and Geet marriage scenes with Arjun and Annie marriage and consummation
scenes was not a smart move. It not only irked the audience to a great deal, but
also was quite insulting and disappointing coming from the CVs. This is not the
way to treat the loyal audience that has stuck by you for past 8-9 months.
Arjun/Annie marriage and consummation at a first glance
looks like history repeating itself; Arjun is another Dev and Annie is another
Geet. However the truth is Arjun is not Dev, because unlike Dev he actually has
principles. Just a week ago Arjun told NT that he would not use an innocent girl
as a pawn in his revenge plot against Maan. However, here he is today, marrying
Annie to use her against her brother. While I do not condone his actions by any
means, I see this as a temporary lapse in judgment; a lapse of judgment with
dire consequences. He will repent his actions once he learns the truth about NT
or maybe even sooner. No matter when it happens, Arjun's conscience will make
him regret his actions. As for Annie, she is not Geet; she was not forced into
a marriage that she didn't want. Instead she married someone whom she loves and
who she believes loves her in return. However, the fact that she chose to marry
and consummate her marriage during her brother's wedding rubs the audience the
wrong way.
Finally, I just wanted to add that we might not agree
with every single storyline the CVs throw at us, but we need to trust that CVs
know what they are doing. It may seem like a daunting task to trust the CVs at
times such as today. But at the end of the day, it's their show and they call
the shots. That being said, the viewers' opinion matters a great deal, it
certainly does when it comes to the longevity of the show. Let's hope CVs make
better decisions in the future. It is their job that is on the line.
