I agree mostly with what you have said, especially how they have bungled in execution, character sketch etc. But truth be told, I am still trying hard to understand what it is that the makers want to show us.
Do they want to show us the repercussions of EMA, like how badly it affects the person you are cheating on and the people around you and the new relationship that you have just formed, with the result that you realize, that the guilt of betraying the person you once loved will always weigh down on you making it impossible for you to be completely happy? In such a situation, you may feel unfulfilled in your new relationship, or with time you may feel your new relationship was nothing more than an infatuation and that what you did was just an impulsive, reckless act, making you regret the whole thing.
Or do they want to tell us that it is possible for a person to just fall in love again in spite of having a loving partner (because it is destiny or God's will or the connect that you feel with this person is so strong that you feel you can only be happy with that person) and even though you know it amounts to betrayal, you just carry on with it, because apparently it is uncontrollable and unstoppable? Knowing that your betrayal can devastate your former partner, can distance your family from you and turn the society against you, you still carry on with it because what you feel for that person is not WRONG to you. You had no intention to hurt anybody because you feel whatever is happening to you is not your fault.
In real life one can witness both. Some people do regret their actions and wish for the former partner to come back into their life , while some people settle down with their new partners for the rest of their lives.
Kunal-Nandini's completely rushed falling-in-love, their absolute lack of guilt, and Nandini's half-baked characterization, may make one feel that they are going for the former approach, where they only want to show the aftermath of EMA and want these characters to deal with the consequences.
But then what was all that destiny and Baba and the constant presence of some kind of symbolism that keeps hinting at a forever kind of love story of KuNan? Or was it just to cover up the lack of substance in KuNan's love story? They somehow wanted to make these two fall in love and they thought nonsensical symbolism would do?? 🤢 . I find that hard to digest and also, how can they completely overlook Nandini's abuse? It is utterly confusing right now.
So far, the only thing they have managed to tell us, is that this is not one of those EMAs where the husband has no intention to let go of his wife and only wants to keep the other woman in his life as a secret guilty pleasure.
So, for now, I think we should keep calm and wait for the story to unfold.
