Maryada et al

Catching up slowly with other shows - Maryada mahaepisode and Gaurav's truth - saw parts of it, need to watch the repeat ... this show deserves to be the slot leader at 11 pm. The makers have stuck to their guns and kept the controversial subjects going, whether it be the illicit relations between jiju-saali, the devoted wife who after so many years of knowing everything yet wilfully turning a blind eye, is finally turning against her husband - lord, that's a change from all the self-sacrificing Bhartiya naris on Indian tv, and of course, the Gaurav-Vidya-Karan story - a first on Indian tv to be tackled in a serious, realistic way, including all the ramifications and reactions of family. Added to which, all the actors are amazing, from Gaurav, to Viday, to SSP, to Devyani to Roshnee Devi - even the PA is good for his role. Karan is okay, but on the whole, the show still commands my attention. Vidya gets shot - so predictable, and so well acted by Vidya, the way she collapses to the floor, and Gaurav holds her - wish the makers of IPKKND would take a look at this for a realistic falling scene.

SGP - the only show where the leads are the worst part of the show - am enjoying the Inder-Panna-BM-BP track - just love the Inder-Panna bond - and I mute the tv whenever Suhana-Ishan come on screen. Friday episode had lots of Inder-Panna with BP-BM - enjoyed it so much! Beautifully done - the pain of the brother-sister at being abandoned by their father. The only thing I didn't like was them calling themselves orphans - negates the warm, loving family they have grown up in, and the strength of their mother - while they have her, why should they be called orphans? The father is not the only parent, nor is he the most important one - in most families, the mother is the glue which holds the family together. But liked the episode nonetheless.

Also caught part of Mukti Bandhan - hmm, not really impressed with what I saw, the acting is far inferior to Maryada in the same time slot, and even to IPKKND actually. Parichay - might catch it again, but not very impressed with that either. So have to decide whether I want to keep Colors or not. Wish they would air Sony. I want to watch KBC.
