4th September 2014 (Day of Episode 103)
We are aware that the show is running solidly over a flimsy misunderstanding and illogical excuse of keeping Sarla Arora and Daadi Mehra in dark because of their heath factor. It provokes us through extreme state of Dumbness and Absence of Logic imbibed by the main characters of the story.
Allowing people to be beaten up black and blue by Abhi.
Allowing people to swallow their pride.
Allowing people to abuse you
Allowing people to scheme against you
And Coercing the Well-Wishers to Accept the Dumbest of proposals ever suggested.
The Mahaan Arora Sisters have everything wrong to find fault with Suresh.
(Pragya even makes Suresh declare himself as stupid to have gone after Abhi and registering a false complaint before the Police.)
The Mahaan sisters betrayed Puneet and allowed him to get beaten
Now the Mahaan Sisters will allow Purab to get beaten, after lacerating him with their icy lectures on why he has to marry Aliya at any cost, even if he does not love her and has already rejected her twice.
All for their Dear Fatty Mommy with bucketful of tears ready to shed anytime. And swooning too. Why doesn't she keep smelling salts with her all the time. Less burden on her daughters that way. She cant even take her medicines. Oh Yeah! She has been a single mommy raising her kids in such difficulties.
Such a Mahaan Mother and her Mahaan Daughters !!
The only sorry part for a female soap watcher like me is that in present times of TV Trends, somehow or the other reason, the males redeem their actions; and, it is always the good hearted prudent females, in whom we vest ourselves so much; disappoint us so hard. Abhi, even after the beating and all this MU generating acts of his, he is gonna be another Purab, lucid in his mind once reality comes before him. Feel so sorry that even female leads like Pragya can disappoint us so much.
Kahan gaye woh din, jab we could have faith in our female leads for being sparky and brilliant on Indian TV.
The problem with Pragya character. When did she ever explain to Purab why she is asking him not to marry Aliya. Almost everyone shuts her up...she gives orders that one no wants to listen to, because she does not care to give the reason. All she does is "Mein..", "Magar..", "Lekin .." Never does she have the steam or the honour to defend her argument or the compassion to put the other out of his delusional understanding, while she stands there "all knowing but doing nothing" presentation. How many times, Sarla, Bulbul have bull dozed her. And now Abhi, Aliya and Tanu to the list added. All she does is a monologue in her mind with the audience to listen. Who is stopping her from raising her voice and clearing up things. This is how she teaches? Nope. We have seen her opening her mouth loud and clear. Since when these lekins, Magars, mein, Suniye etc etc monothets !!!
[Sigh]
To be honest, we cannot even speculate what Pragya had in her mind about giving the breaking news to her mother. She never had any plan like she confessed in the car drive. She is just closing eyes to reality, because she opens her eyes, she sees only one reality, "Maa".
There are only five things that I like about Pragya:
- Suresh, Forgive me, but I have to ask you to go against your principles and take the case back. Its not for Abhi, but for Maa.
- To Abhi - I did not do it for you. I did it for Maa and ur Daadi.
- To Puneet in her heart - Sad that I am letting you get beaten up. Lekin Maa...
- To Bulbul over Phone - Sorry Bulbul, I am making you call Purab, but you have to understand, Maa ka sawaal hai
- To herself - Its inevitable, maa will get to know reality - oh what I am supposed to do...and then she drifts into thinking just about her marriage moments with Abhi.
[Shaking my head]
Crazy that she is going to slowly and steadily fall in love with Abhi just because he took care of her mother. This is why this crest and trough of nonsensical weave from Pragya itself holds my curiosity to watch the show. The audacity to call the shots by starting off with "Sorry, its wrong of me and stupid of you; to be unjustly used by me, but I have gotta do it for Mom"...I am just so dying to see what would be Abhi's reaction to Pragya for holding off truth from him when he had been so open with her. And that is why I am watching it for now.
In the end, seems Suresh is the one who is going to be proven true. He had said, Kahin na Kahin Abhi ke liye bhi kar rahi ho. And definitely; Pragya will end up loving Abhi just because he spared her from the shit planning of having to lie for her mommy. She is just so tired that she does not even acknowledge how much she hates all that and instead drifts into happiness that Abhi provides when he so easily takes care of her mom. The problem is she got pampered with Abhi's habits. It was him, day one on marriage morning, where she would have broken truth to her mom, and Abhi snatched the phone from her and gave a good talk to Sarla.
So bad, it has become soap trend these days that Son-in-laws take care of Wife's parents while mistreating the wife at home and blackmailing her to submission about playing the marriage game. Disgusting formula. Every soap has it these days.
When it comes to TRPs, I can watch crap. But, when at home, I have family members screaming at me for watching crap. Everyone from Father, Mother, Brother, Sister and Husband. So I have to watch shows like these, hiding from them, otherwise I will be teased to no end. And another reason why aging people like me or my parents or sibs cannot watch TV is, when between the breaks, the advertisements put us to sleep. LOL. So end up missing the show if the drama is not loud and emotionally engaging.
The TRPs happen just because of Promos and Habits. But more importantly the TRP is rising for KKB, because DABH is failing. DABH is the competitor show and for few months now, has lost its focus. The Surya magic is gone post IPS becoming and unbecoming. Since the novelty is gone there, the only strong contender for that timeslot is Zee's KKB. Colors BI wont attract TRP crowd, coz u cannot watch BI kind of love at 9:00 PM. Its too soft for that time slot. One needs something loud like Bhabho, Meena entertainment to go along with few soft moments between the leads. Coz u can still be going about household chores and not miss much. Likewise, the KKB MU can also drag, because, its okay as long as it is steadily making a 10 minutes progression everyday.
Ekta Kapoor and her Prod House is far more powerful to even allow any influencing on the daily business of generating crap. The Cast and Crew equally fear her. And its anyone's luck to work in her shows for two reasons:
1) Crew finds a lot of learning opportunity with her PH. For ex using ARRI cameras, how many other Indian Soap churning PH's use them? The Crew joins her PH just to learn.
2) Cast - one way or the other, EK makes it a rewarding experience to have worked with complying to her. And if they go against her, they are finished too. So before joining EK soap, better understand what they are getting into.
And her logic behind churning the episodes is very business oriented. She will not add anything new until she has sucked out the last penny from her previous ideas and likewise, new idea is tested in cautioned manner.
Those who do not like her, try opening their PHs. But they dont do well too...coz, those Channel Producers become the true bitches. Between this game of getting sucked and sapped by Channer or PH, Ekta as a producer has found herself as a successful juggler between giving in to what Channel wants, what her creatives can churn our, what her cast can do. EK has been successful with SP, Zee and Sony. The only one where she kind of failed (statistically) is Colors. Pretty difficult to survive that channels whims in the name of colorful diaspora of entertainment, perhaps the most bullying or a little lesser than Sony.
Against all the prevailing dumbness, Cast member Sriti Jha playing the role of Pragya has posted this over her Instagram account .
Its a cartoon chat.
A: Give me two pronouns
B: Who Me ?
[LOL] brilliant. That was so so far from dumbness.
Posts like these from the Cast also make the show more interesting making us see what kind of contrast they act. Its just fun therefore to dissect the show more and more. Tells us how much fertile we are and not into vegetative states of our senility. I love my ability to feel even for a soap drama. Because that makes me a Zohra Sehgal. And I love that feeling. [Wink]
There was this another post from her few days ago -
"drapetomania"
(n.) an overwhelming urge to run away
I like these posts. It makes so much sense and gives us the peace, that such psychological states exist and we either can accept or explode at them. And yet, if looked at objectively, it is new knowledge and something like reading a newspaper and throwing the newspaper in garbage. and Yet..Yet...some part of it made sense.
Parallel worlds of Dumbness and Brilliance.
I just realized that "Extremity of Dumbness" is being shown for Pragya, perhaps to make Abhi realize how dumb can be his gold-digging scheming wife.
ROFL ROFL ROFL
That's me doing a EUREKA Rofl'ing
