Liks I wanted to ask you something, you know that new serial DAK, that you are hooked to, SamRAT the hero has married the girl intending to be playing with her emotions as is the norm nowadays in hindi serials they marry for revenge and love comes later. How come you never watched MEIEJ from the beginning? & Why you weren't hooked to that show like you do DAK?
I've got a few ideas as to your reasoning, but I wanted to hear from you first then I will tell you what I'm thinking.
Nafs, I've already said it here in my various posts about it. I don't know if you've read or if you missed it. Basically, it's because he didn't go into the marriage as revenge. He went ahead with the marriage for his ego, yes. But other than that, to him there was no difference. He wanted to marry, he called it off, and called it back on due to his ego. But when he called it back on, the only thing that came to play was that he made a point to Trisha (and later would keep taunting her, also since he is too arrogant and blinded by his ego so blames Trisha for Urmi's calling off the marriage). The way he approached the marriage didn't change. He was still going into the marriage the same way he was going into it earlier.
I had linked earlier to a bunch of my posts on the forum that talked about this.
It's different from many other shows because the lead IS going into to it as a marriage. Not a hate marriage, not a marriage for revenge, not a marriage where he is planning on torturing his wife, and not as some compromise marriage where he will just treat the wife as a friend at best, or ignore her...and pretend like they are just two people sharing a room.
He has regressive and misogynist views. But that's actually quite realistic, a lot of men do think like that that they can have wives who will just be the docile wife. The gutsy thing this show just may do is show the wife taking a stand (and perhaps moving on). And speaking of his regressive, misogynist views, he wanted a wife who would fall into that thinking. And he called it off when he got an inkling Urmi may not be such a wife, but then his ego got the better off him and blinded him to other facts. Just as Urmi herself I feel proved herself to him when she chose him over Trisha. (None of this means I think Urmi should be stuck with him because of her wrong choices and mistakes.)
I know what you're thinking, Nafs. It's that they are sleeping together.😆 And yes, that's one of the things included too when I say, "go into it as a marriage." and I have talked about that as well.
MB--RK blackmailed Madhu into the marriage, treated her like trash all throughout. In DAK, there was no such blackmailing. (One could say that Urmi probably due to her family may not have had the confidence to ever back out, but at the same time as I said she herself had seen a lot and never really wanted to back out. And even more so, she herself basically proved herself to him.)
