KUMKUM BHAGYA : A year later Update - Sep 22nd 2015

September 22nd 2015

I was happy to come back and watch KKB over You Tube from where I left off last year before the exit of previous Tanu (portrayed by Madhurima Tuli). Zee TV uploaded episodes over Youtube are only until May 31st 2015. I sat and watched webisodes for the remaining until Pragya's accident. 

I was happy with Pragya and Abhi's confession of their love for each other. So far good story-telling.

I decided to wait for the next phase to unwind. I do keep track of the story without watching episodes, because I want to see the best in one shot and savour the Abhigya chemistry minus the scheming which just raises by BP if I see it everyday. Otherwise I am very much happy with comic dialogues and senti dialogues as I keep chuckling aloud and I love that laugh.

At this point, Its really a challenge to analyze the story or Abhi's actions in the present format and content of the show. Key effort being TRP garnering with full on tapping of onscreen chemistry of Abhigya, its very much there in the show. No matter how repetitive the drunken scenes are, they tap the Abhigya chemistry and Cuteness to full potential. Its not just Pragya who is cute as Chashmish or Fuggy, its even Abhi who is cute as the kid who loves to talk without thinking and play with his wife in a free manner.

What happened between Abigya in past is beyond torture or ridicule, its the desire to unwind what they are into something stupid and silly. People who did not believe in love, fell in love; is what this love story is about Abhigya. Pragya loses her wits, likewise Abhi also loses his wits, when these two are in each other's company. However that is the not the real case when they are outside their room. They both are respected for their brain, heart and commitment to responsibilities. We as audience don't see it as we are always with them. But through other characters we know, these two are capable of keeping their wits about when occasion arises.

When coming to the New Avatar of the show, with changed Pragya, the format and content is almost thrown to same old format.

Dadi is still with Pragya. 
Last time, she was supposed to get married to Abhi and change him for good. 
This time, she is supposed to act his money minded boss/bitch and mind Abhi's interests for good.

Abhi still has an antagonist in Pragya. 
Last time, he was supposed to have Purab get married to Aliya and expose Pragya in a way that dissolves his marriage, He failed miserably and ended up trying to get Purab married to Bulbul and fall in love with Pragya.
This time, he is supposed to get married to Tanu, protect his family etc and fight back the money minded mistress from his home and professional life. Will he succeed. Reasonably, he has to fail. 

In which way he fails, we cannot predict. But goal definitely seems not about commitments abt marriage, goal is about living up to the commitment of love. So this phase is not about taking care of Pragya's family or any responsible reason. This phase is about him being truly, madly and desperately in love with Pragya against his better reasons. So the fuggy factor of cuteness has to change to maturity of beyond cuteness of wherever this love story has to go to.


Last time too Abhi was seemingly with Aliya and Tanu, but for his key decisions, he never involved anyone, not even Purab. He was always alone in his executions.
This time too, Abhi may be seemingly support Aliya and Tanu, but we have to wait, when he is going to be all alone in his executions.
I think, Tanu's pregnancy truth will be exposed by Abhi rather than Pragya. Because history is that Abhi exposes truth. Not Pragya. Even if it is in bits and pieces. And always Pragya has to keep up the act. Not Abhi. So he is technically free to find truth when situation blesses.


What can be the triggers? Very difficult to predict when and how these character developments unwind. Perhaps that's why those extreme rumours. Something so bad that it will make Abhi ignore his hatred for money minded Pragya, but some basic goodness within him will drive him to help her against his wishes.

This should be enough of my ramble which is like a mumble with me running out of ideas.

To sum up, I don't think Abhi is decoding Pragya. I think Abhi is feeling Pragya, which he never did before. Earlier he was trying to decode Pragya and found his fuggy. Now he has to feel this Pragya and find his ***. And yes absolutely true, the kiss in drunken or dream state is the goal. He needs to get that kiss for real when he is not in drunken state.
