RKC Week 24 Jan 15 - 19 Epi 125 - 129

Very quick recap as I am losing interest in the show ... it has started dragging, the story telling has become too linear and not properly fleshed out ... and currently none of the characters are very likeable. For a show to click, the viewers have to connect with at least one character from the heart ... be interested and vested in his/her trials and emotions. Right now, even Satrupa has lost that connection, the thread that was keeping me hooked to the show. She is too proud, too ungrateful to the Pandits, her love for her daughter has become an obsession, and she is not concerned about anyone's feelings, least of all Anami's ... she just wants ... no, demands her return ... without trying to reflect on why she ran away and how she can atone for what she did.

Anami lost my sympathy long back ... she is too impulsive, too quick to jump to conclusions and believe the worst her Satrupa ... even when Adhiraj and Dadi both warned her about Sudha, Satrupa has told her that Purushottam did kidnap Laddoo, she has forgotten all that, and is ready to believe that Satrupa wanted to kill her parents so that she comes back ... Ergo, she will go back ... for revenge.
Not the story I signed up for, or wanted.

Laddoo ... why is no one talking to him about the kidnapping? Anami is blind and obtuse ... but what about Adhiraj? And what about Adhiraj ... he left his job, his work, and helped Anami run away ... now he's tamely going back to work?

Panditayin irritates me too ... she is as possessive about Anami in her own way as Satrupa is .. she gave her up to Satrupa, but she now wants Anami back ... does she not stop to think for a moment about Anami's future? Will she remain a Benaras ke ghat ki ladki all her life? No future, no education, continue drinking tea from a saucer and fighting fake pandits, because those are her sanskaar ...
If Panditayin was a selfless mother, she would realise the opportunities that LM and Satrupa can give Anami and urge her to stay, give it a try, at least till the age of eighteen, to sambhalo her own future ... and maybe that of Laddoo as well.

Murari Pandit is the only somewhat sensible person as of now.

Forgot to mention ... Sudha is evil ... but Sangeeta Ghosh has been playing her brilliantly the last week.

And I love Narottam's turnaround ... for me, right now, he is the most deserving heir to LM and RS. Courageous, principled, humble, mature ... if only he was not involved in Vatsalya's murder, that is.

The story is going in circles right now ... the TRP effect, I guess. Pity ... another good show bites the dust. let's see how long SP gives it ... with these TRPs, not much longer I guess ... though Ekyavan will go first ... its trp's are even lower.
