Oooh are we talking about the Maaneet wedding? I started watching the show right after that and sometimes I wonder if it was destined that I should start watching the minute the best phase of the show was over, because I literally found the show one episode after the marriage. 😕
Anyway, I didn't know how special the Maaneet marriage was when I first watched it, though I of course I thought it was beautiful. It also helped that I watched only the Maaneet scenes and only vaguely knew about all the peripheral nonsense that was happening in the other room. 🤢 I think that would probably be my only complaint with the wedding, ie, AA trying to steal Maaneet's thunder and failing, obviously but still being slightly distracting... I think the problem here was that the parallel track was competing with the main one rather than supporting it.
But the Maaneet parts were heaven, with the office staff lending humour and lighter moments. I absolutely LOVED Romeo during this sequence and his comic timing with Adi. They really felt like one big, happy family. 😊
But I think the best part about the wedding was that Maaneet and not anybody else, like a Bollywood star, were the main attraction and I have to thank the CVs for keeping it that way. Recently, there were a few weddings on TV and there were so many publicity gimmicks that I was thankful that Maaneet's marriage felt almost divine and sacred in contrast.
In one way, I am glad they did the wedding when they had the better CVs and sets, though storywise I agree that they could have waited and extended the IP track. If they wanted to do an MC at this point, which I have heard they did, it would have been perfect to use that as the climax, where just as Geet proved that she didn't need Maan's help to succeed professionally and they have a huge hateful confrontation, she needed him for something much bigger, Maan forgot all his anger and ran frantically to her, and we got the same powerful hospital MC scene.
Then at the same time (parallel track!), Dev and Meera could have discussed that the only way to prove Dev's crime and prove NT's lawyers (who said they were in Canada) was to do a DNA test of the baby and prove that it was his so he committed the crime.😲 And it would have also been great to see Meera being a support to Geet but hiding that she was helping Dev (drama!) and having a conversation with daadi about her conflict.
After the basic MC stuff, we could have had Maan trying to convince Geet to move back to KC and the outhouse with cute scenes of him trying to pull her out of depression. I would have also loved if he brought back her family here, especially Mohinder and Ranno who got some closure and apologised for being so weak.
Well, I guess I didn't talk much about the wedding 😆 but I know you guys enjoy my ramblings anyway so I just went with it...
