You are welcome Sia.😃

Yes, the discontinued scene left a bitter taste and the entire nice episode couldnt save that!! Why didnt they show that part...atleast they cud have shown Dev walking away from the room in a huff (for he has to be rude to her na! come what!) Y'day Dev's expression at her wound was beautiful...he was shocked to see the bruise at first, cuz he didnt expect that his action would hurt her physically...it was followed by pain because his beloved was hurt...but then when he looked in her eyes, his expressions changed...he masked his feelings and turned cold! Then, what? Did the band aid automatically fly and got stuck on her hand?? Either they cud have shown him putting it...or else atleast he cud have walked away and she cud have done it herself!! This sort of scenes leaves us bamboozled with incomplete feel!! #

Yes there was no closure for a hghly charged scene...and today suddenly there is a plaster on her hand. They are doing this most probably to go for their friday evening cliffhanger...but then they should decide of the scenes before hand...and are cliffhangers needed every friday.

Similarly Dev's expressions today during her bhajan was beautiful!! He stood there entranced by the beauty of her pure voice...He was happy within to see that his gifted idol was being worshiped by her so diligently. Then, duty took over and he walked off! Avinash is doing it perfectly...even without any dialogues, he is doing his job so nicely!!

Yes the fault is not his, its the creatives and that includes the writers, director and the editor. This should be a team effort...if even one member of the team fails in his job then the entire effect gets disrupted. Most probably the writers wrote a scene..the director shot the scene but the editor removed the scene...or the scene was not written...whatever be the case this team is not working together and the effect can be seen.  

Hehe...loved Cute Rohan pulling pants and coming to the puja room. How is Padma ever going to stop him? He is a kid and will keep going to his Pari again and again! 😉 Loved how he called her pari again. He should call her "Pari" in front of Dev repeatedly and Dev would fume finally with anger!! Hehe...! Also as u said, Virat-Mohini interaction brought some reality. These kind of simple, yet real looking scenes attract people. Another thing...BB without makeup.  Most often ladies in the serials always sleep/work/do their chores etc. with their makeup on...just like Mohini...but it was a refreshing change to see BB like this...! 

I don't know how Padma thinks that she can stop Rohan...he is like a small kid now and he is curious regarding Radhika and likes her...has even got a nickname for her. Today she just  nodded her head and he came to take the arti...the more Padma shrieks and stops him the more he will try to go towards Radhika. Rohan should insist to his badi ma that he wants pari always by his side...Rohan is not that much impressed with Dev, can't blame Rohan, Dev is too serious for a kid. Virat-Mohini was hilarious...very normal interaction between couples. Badimas without make up look was a refreshing change.

Loved Radhika's cooking scene...yet it faded in front of the scene that was shown in CB1 during RP puja...where Rads cuts/fries etc. etc and Vishaka was munching on cashewnuts!! 😆Somehow that scene was so beautifully shot with Rads doing everything so lovingly for her husband and family...that it remains the best kitchen shot for me 😳😆

Yes...Vishaka was entertaining before she became mental.

 

Padma and BB are egoist and are now taking on one another. She even said to BB that now Rads has become more important to u than me?  Wonder why Padma remained quiet for all these years and never recognized BB's intentions/ or questioned her...when she has a mouth...but now has suddenly become smart to understand Radhika and is suddenly bursting up? Is it because all these years things were going in her way...but now things arent! 

Thats another mystery...it looks as if she has suddenly woken up from a deep sleep. Padma and ammas POV were needed just after the leap...that time they were made into robots, if their POVs had been given then the audience who left during the 2-3 weeks after the leap due to lack of characterisation would have stayed behind. If Padma has such a big ego them how could she manage to keep quiet for such a long time...looks like she was happy that her son was getting all the attention. If only they had explained this then to the audience as a monologue.

BB's cold facial expressions on everything Rads does...should give her a cue as to why is she not allowed to take care of Dadajee? Afterall she is the new bahu...and when young people offer to take care of responsibilities/ or atleast share them...the elders dont rebuke them in such a manner...like BB did!

Yes...if Radhka takes a step back and thinks she should get a hunch that something is wrong in this house. 

And then...finally we again get to see Mansaram's family! Loved seeing Mansaram's interaction with Rads. This is one relation where there is no compounded emotions and everything is transparent to the audience...and thus everyone loves it. Wish the writers for this family had even created the PF...then I am sure TRP's would have been sky rocketing!! 

Yes, the writers of this family did a marvellous job.

Great so now Shanti must have already understood whats going on in Maheshwari's head...she must have deciphered that she has been taken on a ride by BB...and her chanda is not going to get married to Dev!! She will not remain quiet...for sure and will try to get in touch with BB personally and persuade her for the marriage. BB is gearing up for Rohan's b'day so as to make everything in her name... but we knw the will shall have something else...and probably will not be read on Rohan's b'day. Will BB/ Shanti get to knw abt Dev being RP and thus force him to marry Chanda!! Eww! No...pls not that!

Lets see what the creatives are upto.Hope that they will not again fr another repeatation.

You are welcome RADEV1000.

 

Dev is being selfish towards Radhika but not towards his dadaji and family. Thats what happens in real life too when a person decides to sacrifice ones love for the sake of the family. He or she is labelled as the good son or daughter for putting the family first but what about the person who has been let go off? Does anyone think of that person? Whether he or she left because they realized that it is better to let go than to cling to something that is not theirs or whether they were forced to let go without any thought to their feelings.  

As for Dev standing by himself...maybe he wanted to catch a glimpse of Radhika.😉

 What I didn't like...no continuation between the end of yesterdays episode and todays start...why on earth do chunnu munnu do it again and again...could you have used that hurting scene to show Devs decision regarding keeping his misplaced temper under control ...the bandaid id there on her arm today but are the viewers supposed to sit and imagine how it reached there? Extremely poor editing.

 here this is fiction and Dev is  orphan so supposed  to sacrifice , but in real life the guy is not orphan , specially from the business community , where the purse- strings are in parents hand , rarely have the guts to defy his parents and marry the girl of his choice otherwise succumb to his parents , blackmailing  , leaving the girl in lurch and marry the girl of his parents  choice ...So for me if Dev would have been real son , even then he would have done the same thing ...Dev,s expressions has softened , automatically his gaze was at the window as if expecting to see her ...Now these little bits will make the track interesting ...Misti when i was reading your above comments , could not control myself  and wanted to write , This is not something about being great as i am from in north india , these kind of things are quite common in business community ...

Misti, I am going to dislike part first.  This was very jarring even though I expected it and wasn't surprised at all.  Even though I have given up on Chunnu munnu as they waste all good tracks.  Here they have characters and track and yet waste them again and again.

 The underlined part is also my worry regarding them.

Anyway,  they believe in one-dimensional Dev and they are going to keep him that way. When CB1 first started, they always showed Radhika's POV or her remorse or regret or helplessness with her alone scenes even when she hurt Dev badly.  Then the Abhay track came and they didn't do that with Abhay at all.  So Abhay was shown to talk about sin when Kanika was his fake wife but totally forgot about it when he found out the truth.  No remorse for putting Radhika through all that or anything about sin.  Then, his reaction (of 2 minutes yelling at Katyani) was so inadequate when he was continuously shouting at Radhika previously.

 

Here in CB2, they showed Radhika's conflict except for that one week when she thought Dev came with a proposal for her.  But can not understand why they are not showing such pivotal scenes where Dev feels remorse or at least goes out of the room or go to the bathroom to get a bandage for Radhika.  He doesn't have to put it, but just can hand it to her to show his regret or something.  So we as audience are left to wonder if Dev put it on Radhika or gave it to her or she put it on her hand herself.

 

Now I wouldn't nitpick on one discontinuity but for the fact that it shows the mindset of chunnu munnu.

Angie here it is not one discontinuity but they have done this before in this same show...when Radhika asked Dev to meet her at the temple at night and Dev refuses...then they showed Radhika trying to leave the house at night and Shanti waking up...but the next day the episode starts with Radhika at the temple and Dev arriving there...and we were left scratching our heads that what happened here...how did Radhika leave? Why did Dev come when he was so adamant that he won't come. I can understand if it is a one off ...that it is a mistake but doing it again and again and not providing the continuity between two episodes shows that the creatives do not think that it is important...and that is their mindset. ...and by creatives I mean the writers, the director and the editor...this should be a team effort, if anyone of the team slips then the product does get affected. 

 so my fear is that tomorrow when Dev finds out the truth, he wouldn't look in himself and find himself the culprint but blame Maheswari, Padma and Rohan for betraying his trust.  That is true and he needs to be angry at them but he is at fault here too.  Will they ever show him realizing his mistakes or will they ever show Radhika being hurt by his behavior and calling him out on that.  Voicing her hurt doesn't make her less loyal to Dev and showing regret while being angry at Radhika doesn't lessen Dev's sacrificing nature. 

 Dev showing regret for his part in this fiasco will make the show more interesting...but I am not too sure whether the creatives will show it.

I would rather see them showing Dev's gradual change than an instantaneous one.  So he gets remorseful at his actions and slowly starts thinking about his own behavior.  Meanwhile, he continues to be both mesmerized by her as well as understand her giving generous nature.  So he starts  falling for the real Radhika and his image of DG is slowly replaced by this more human real Radhika.  Also, his anger at her starts melting slowly.  If they can Radhika feeling hurt and crying at PF's behavior towards her (where Dev's behavior is a big part of that hurt) when she talks to her father, she can show it easily to Dev too at some point.  Similarly,  Dev doesn't have to be shown as an angry person all the time.  Give him some scenes (alone) where he thinks about how he behaved with Radhika and is repenting.  So slowly his hostility is going away.  Here they showed him being entranced by Radhika next morning and there was compartively less anger in his expression.  So show that he is starting to question his own actions too and that reflects in his behavior towards Radhika.

But absence of regret for his actions leave a bad taste for audience especially when it is a case of "Once bitten twice shy".  Eventually they will show Dev falling for Radhika in a true sense by the time Rohan is cured.  Because it is more than likely that Rohan may lie about the marriage as even as a kid, he seems to like Radhika.  Radhika for him is a pretty thing.  So why not show gradual change that is a result of growing remorse for his own actions combined with getting to know real Radhika. 

 Would like to see the gradual change in Dev and that he chooses Radhika the real person over his dreamgirl  this but seeing how this track is progressing most probably Radhika will become the dreamgirl. 

 

Secondly,  Radhika is also shown somewhat one dimensional in pursuit of Dev.  Show that she is mature enough to understand that sometimes a space needs to be given to another person even if they are your spiritual partner.  Since she has deep faith, she need not be shown so desperate.  In fact, keeping some distance during inconsequential times would spark Dev's curiosity more because he is taking her liking and loving for granted.

Yes...I did mention this I think in my response to Radha's post few days back that Radhika constantly chasing Dev without thinking might make her look one dimensional, when she is not. She should be shown using her brains, when we know that she has them and she does give people space...so after some time she should be shown doing this...first push his buttons and make his face his rue feelings and then back off and give him the space to think...and this will also spark his curiosity.

 

Ok, this is all I wanted to say about the negative aspect of today's episode.  Like others, I have positive feelings for the rest of the show.
