16/6 - Epi 9 ... Another Filler

Show slowing down considerably after such a fast-paced start ... my personal feeling is that they need to replace the screenplay writer ASAP ... never said I was not biased, but this time I'm not alone! Popular opinion all thinks the same. Back to trademark OTT scenes - when they were based on characters I didn't care for at all, I didn't give a damn, but this is destroying the main lead before she is even fully established. . And we do need to see more of the lead guy - give us some office scenes, to show his khadoos nature, scenes with his driver, his peon, staff - anything ... except for OTT mami's, who have nothing of value to add.

The CV's have to realise they are not catering to a schoolgirl audience any more - they need sensible stuff, not the same silly, bubbly chirpy girls which worked for them in DMG, MJHT and Geet. Besides, in both DMG and MJHT, the bubbly chirpy silly girls were the side leads, not the main ones - no idea about Geet, so can't really comment. Here what it seems to me is that BS is taking time to get into his role, so Sanaya is getting the bulk of the scenes, and hence they are badly written and GH is falling back on his trademark stupidity! Especially the scenes in Arnav's house - the annoying mami fulfils no purpose whatsoever - except to create hurdles for Khushi, so that she is forced to join Arnav's office. But she doesn't need to lose her brains to do that!

Scenes I liked yesterday - the dining table where Arnav deadpan pulls Anjali's leg about her husband being happy at her absence - such a typical brotherly remark! And the Khushi-Payal scenes, where for once, Payal managed to restrain Khushi's impetuousness, and Khushi agreed that she wasn't going to go alone to meet Shyam ... though of course, she will. Also liked the little directorial touch of Khushi being in a simple salwar kameez for bed, rather than her normal bright clothes, and that she didn't sleep with her dupatta - somehow, that sight always irks me - WHO sleeps with their dupatta?!

Again, I really wish they had shown Khushi being around 21 and having finished her graduation - would have made getting a job in Arnav's office far more believable. The first two episodes showed a far more mature Khushi, this week has made her regress to the brink of stupidity! Hope the CV's realise their mistake and bring back the maturity and intelligence they started off with - mature intelligent girls can be bubbly too! Or is it vice versa - bubbly girls can be mature and intelligent too - they don't have to be dumb!
