Finally, Navya and Anant succeed in postponing their marriage and Navya’s family breathe a sigh of relief. But their happiness proves to be short lived and their smiles soon fade seeing the Divorce notice sent to their daughter Renu by her husband. As Navya and her Parents get a shock of their lives, Renu is shattered at this heartbreaking turn of events. This put an end to her marriage with Gautam.
While Navya’s family is devastated at the state of their daughter, I somehow feel it is a new beginning for Renu. I have come to believe that when GOD takes away something from us, he is only emptying our hands to receive something better.
As a viewer, I wish to see a mature track of love and understandingbetween Renu(Navya’s elder sister) and Mohan(Anant’s elder brother). Every time I see Mohan and Renu, my heart aches for them. Two wonderful souls trapped in marital relationships that were never meant for them with partners who did not value them. In our society, Marriage is a Sacred Institution, but nothing can be worse than putting up with a bad marriage.
It is unfortunate that Mohan has a manipulative and vindictive wife like Rama who is selfish and fails to understand his emotions. It is equally sad to see that Renu’s husband Gautam, even after cheating on her, had the nerve to convince Renu’s family that their daughter was unnecessarily suspecting him over nothing.
Even though Renu and Mohan never looked for someone outside their marriage, the recent twist and turns only goes to suggest that Mohan calling Renu for an interview is not merely a coincidence. It looks like Destiny is creating circumstances for these two to meet and eventually bond. It would also be interesting to see a submissive Mohan eventually stand up for himself and his happiness.
Though it is too early to talk about this track, do let us know if you would like to see Renu and Mohan make a new start or would you want them to continue being in a loveless marriage?
"It is by chance that we met, by choice that we became friends, but it is fate which will turn us into soul mates”
Finally, Ashutosh bared his soul to Dr. Nidhi. He not only spoke his heart out, but unknowingly he opened the door a little bit, for Nidhi to step in. Ashutosh in yesterday’s episode revealed to Dr. Nidhi all the pain and sorrow he feels for not having his Baba around. The man of few words spoke volumes. The way he reminisced about his Baba and the home he still misses and craves for has moved me with an undefined emotion .
“Baba mere naam sab kuch kar gaye sivaye uss ghar ke, aur mujhe, kuch nahi chahiya tha sivaye uss ghar ke”.
This line described his love for that house so beautifully that it just swept me away. Dr. Nidhi for the very first time got a real glimpse at the person Ashutosh is. If Ashutosh’s words impacted Nidhi, then it was Nidhi’s silent understanding eyes which expressed a lot. This definitely is the turning point in their relationship.
When you let someone in, into your personal space, you are unknowingly giving that person a certain edge and a certain right in a very quiet but subtle manner. That is what happened when Dr. Ashutosh opened up to that one person who he doesn’t know, but is indirectly responsible for all the heartache he is going through. If pain and hatred drives them apart, it will be that very pain which will reunite them.
a relationship that sticks on despite uncertainty!
Kudos to the makers once more for such a brilliant episode!!! The Episodic Story started with Nani accepting and letting the Arnav know she is now ready to get him married to La! But Arnav is not happy. Why? He never wanted to marry La in the first place and was very clear about the same ... But today the issue was not about not wanting to marry her! The question was why he was sure he didn't want to? Things have changed for Arnav over the past few months! Khushi has taken over his senses completely! So when he opposed Nani today, unlike the last time around, he had a valid reason, and the makers very smartly established that minutes before the family arrived, by showing how Khushi stated the sentiment attached to the Payal in her life!
As if his preserving her souvenir was not enough testimony to what was brewing in his heart, he wasted no time in pondering over, returning it since it was so dear to her !Thus, establishing the fact that her happiness, her feelings, her emotions are of utmost importance to this man ! A man who was devoid of all the above, and a man who never acknowledged the same until a while ago!!! So the pain you saw in his face, was not that of indifference and not getting the space he wanted in his own house, but it was the pain of wanting to give someone else the space of a life partner that the family seemed to unknowingly now be wanting to give away to someone else!!!
Love is a two way connection-and here, Khushi right fully complimented him in every way, by suddenly withdrawing at the mention of ASR getting married to La finally! What is that they shared that, it troubled her so much? Why was giving him away to someone who rightly deserved him so painful? What is it that bound the two? Khushi didn't know? Or she knew now ...
A perfect moment to cement the purity of their feelings for one another-a scene of Shyam is aptly inserted, where he is cribbing about, how much more he will have to give up for the sake of his love! Havent we been taught of the unconditional nature of love from time immemorial ? As much as Shyam pleads his love for Khushi is true, he miserably fails by hiding behind a mask! By cheating his family, hurting his loved ones and most importantly counting his actions and gestures! This is where ASR stands out once more! You love his silent yet subtle gestures towards Khushi. He doesnt say it, but you know his heart beats just for her....
An apt selection of song: Unconventional like all others under this Banner have been ..The makers turn your visualization into totally something you would not expect! If the original was all about lust and the physical need to be together, this picturisation according to me did more justice to the lyrics by exactly showing Khushi's state of mind! Those eyes, that were constantly on her, amidst a crowd... !! She could feel his presence around her all along. He had La by his arm and was making no verbal conversation with her, but his heart beats were audible to Khushi! And thats the reason why she kept moving away from him, since her heart was strongly signaling her that their relationship was finally going to have a defining moment!
What one got to see after that left most I am sure speechless, with symbolism at its peak! On not finding her around, he went looking for her!
Bheed main bhi thi Tanhayi
Yaad har pal teri aayi
roke koi mujhe zara
bhar na aaye yeh dil mera...
and then he found her by the pool lighting diyas ... And the moment she saw him she lost control over herself .. her emotions, everything...
behke behke mere kadam hai
aise main tu sambhaal toh zara ...
... and he did sambhalo(hold) her !He caught her... tried to mend her twisted leg-signifying pain! When was the last time we saw this vulnerable side to this man? May be never?
The soft-hearted man, who couldnt take his eyes off, who forewarned her softly" thoda dard hoga" as though to say, my heart with also ache along, but dont worry, I am with you! I am here to ease your pain! He softly places her feet on his thigh giving her support and comfort!
By this act, he has already allowed her to stamp on him unofficially-exposing his vulnerable side to her and has told her, I am allowing you this, because I want it that way! She tightly clasps his shoulder, as though seeking support! When he lightly moved the saree to mend her leg, she had to feel a certain sense of comfort and ease around him to allow him to do that! Or may she was too mesmerized by the moment herself!
After having done his bit, this man, touched my heart the best when he subtly yet impact fully expressed his love for her by still holding onto her foot delicately yet firm- as though to say I don't want to let go of you ever! and then, over the pain that he gave her and mending it later, the man also adorned what he had hurt with what she always wanted!!! A fairy-tale ending or should I call it a beginning?
The pre-cap is another story so I shall save it for another day!! Have a good day! happy viewing!!!
Take your pick from a variety of genres that is threatening to invade our theaters this month starting with Sci-Fi and ending with Happy Feet 2. Don’t we all love it when we have choices?

I leave you with 'November Rain' by Guns N' Roses -
Crime Patrol, a series on Sony Entertainment Television that deals with real life stories of Crime and Criminals, has slowly made it to the TRP charts and is now among the Top Ten Shows of the Week. Crime Patrol, conceived and created by Subramanian S. Iyer and developed along with Neeraj Naik is in its Third Season of telecast at the moment.
Hosted by the popular television actor Anup Soni, Crime Patrol is the first of its kind to be aired on Entertainment Network.
When we have several crime based shows on various News Channels, what makes Crime Patrol so different from the rest? As is strongly believed, its not WHAT you show but HOW you show it, that makes all the difference. Similarly, the execution of Crime Patrol is very different as it helps the viewers to understand the “Why” behind the crimes apart from focussing on the “How” and “When”.
Rangmunch.TV,had the priviledge of talking to Anup Soni - the "Face of Crime Patrol," who gave us an insight into his journey from an Anchor’s perspective and shared the reason as to why Crime Patrol is garnering high TRPs.
“We have completed more than one and half year with Crime Patrol. There are lots of other shows that depict real life crime stories, but I feel what has connected the audience with this show is the way we have put forth the stories. In the last six months, we have seen a rise in TRPs which means more and more people are connecting with the show.The main thing is that we do not believe in sensationalizing it. Its not like oh my god ! what is this? Its more of a genuine approach that comes across very strongly in every episode. People have noticed and realised that we are not making a hungama or sensationalizing Crime, neither are we glorifying it.
The purpose of the show is to make people aware as to what is happening around them, within the society and through the show we want to convey to our viewers that little precaution is necessary. The cases and stories we choose are directly related to common people. Recently we showed a case about a domestic help killing the employer just for the sake of money. The approach behind showing that particular crime story is to make people cautious, since dometic helps these days are an integral part of our life style and we can’t do without them. However don’t push them to do something that will cause harm to you as they belong to a sector where things are a lot more valuable to them. Jo cheez hamare liye 10 rupaye ka hai, shayad unke liye woh 100 rupaye ka ho. Apne paison ko leke thoda clear rahe.”
Infact 99% of the crimes are committed by individuals who don’t have a criminal background. We have cases where a man works in an IT company, who has done M.Tech or B.Tech, but has gone about killing someone.
Crime Patrol, has definitely made me more sensitive to my sorroundings. I’m the kind of person who gets very deeply involved with whatever I do. There are times when I am shocked with the kind of cases I get to see and hear, and it stays with me for a good couple of days till I go and shoot the next case. We have brilliant writers and a great research team who are very thorough while writing the screenplay. Itna detail mein likhtey hai ki woh cheez dramatised hoti hai purposefully. When we get a case, we get a storyline. Par usko jab screen play mein dhaaltey hai, toh kai cheezon ko enhance kiya jaata hai. Jo dialogues hum likhtey hai, we are not even sure ki woh dialogues bole gaye they ya nahi. The idea of writing those dialogues is not to create masala but to convey the right message to the audience. As soon as I get the script I involve myself completely in it. When shooting, I do try to improvise the script and bring in something more on board from my end. I don’t do anything without the permission of my Director, but they know if I want to add something, it will only be for the benefit of the show. Being a part of the society, I feel I should say a little more than what is scripted.
We do travel a lot, but not regularly. We also travel to cities where cases have happened and do interact with victim’s family. But now we have cut down on that unless the need comes across very strongly.
As an actor, you plan so many things, but not all things happen the way you want. I always had the desire to anchor a show but was not sure what kind of show would suit my personality. But when Crime Patrol happened, I knew this is what I exactly wanted to do.” ~ Anup Soni
Rangmunch.TV, through this article would like to request all its readers to beware of one’s surroundings. Its very difficult to delve into people’s minds and judge their intentions correctly at all times. Along with Anup Soni, we at Rangmunch.TV would also like to reiterate the fact that a little precaution can save us and our loved ones from a catastrophe.
Marriage is every Girl’s dream and the most beautiful phase in one’s life. A Girl is considered the “Paraya Dhan” since after marriage she leaves her parents to go and live with her husband and in-laws. Whether love or arranged marriage, it’s a whole new beginning for a girl, as she has to mould herself as per the tradition and customs of her new household. She is not only expected to bond with her husband, but also with every member of the family. This new journey becomes easy when one has an understanding and loving husband and in-laws, but it can turn into a nightmare if she finds herself in a household that is in complete contrast to her upbringing.
Rangmunch.TV brings to you the newly wedded Brides’ of Tellyland, who have recently started their marital journey and are trying to find a firm footing in their new household.
Sandhya in Dia aur Baati Hum: Sandhya is today’s girl with a mind of her own. She has her own set of dreams and aspirations to be an IPS officer and serve her country. However, the sudden death of her parents in a fatal bomb blast shattered her dreams. Her brother instead of being her pillar of strength gets her married off into a household where women are mere puppets and education is given the least importance. Sandhya is shocked to learn that her husband Suraj has studied only till 9th Grade. To make matters worse, her brother not only had lied to her about Suraj’s educational background, but had also told her in-laws that Sandhya had studied only till 7th grade. Sandhya feels hopeless and helpless realizing that her marriage is nothing more than a nightmare, which she has to live through for the rest of her life. While we understand Sandhya’s pain, turmoil, and frustration, we only hope that Suraj becomes her pillar of strength in the days to come and eventually helps her to realize her dreams.
Lata in Yahan Mein Ghar Ghar Kheli: Abha’s elder sister Lata, after a traumatic past has eventually tied the knot with Raj Singhania. Though they got married under most unlikely circumstances, Raj promises to be a good husband and son-in-law. However, Raj Singhania is a man of principles and follows a set of rules to live his life, which is quite alien to Lata. She is now trying to know this new Man in her life and also adjust to her unknown surroundings. However, Raj’s Dai-ma puts additional pressure on her by reiterating the fact that she is now the Bahu of ‘The Singhania Family’ and therefore she needs to follow a certain code of conduct. Dai-ma has more layers to her character than what meets the eye which is definitely not favourable for Lata. We hope Lata is able to overcome every hurdle she faces in her newly wedded life and experiences marital bliss with Raj.
Lovely in Mrs. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuyein: Lovely is a young, educated, and bubbly girl who falls in love with Karthik and eventually marries him against the will of his family. Least did Lovely know then that at every step she would not only have to deal with Karthik’s mom who runs a Hitler Raaj within the house with stringent rules but also has to put up a tough fight to match the other four Bahus of Mrs Kaushik. Although Lovely is the only daughter coming from a wealthy family, she very willingly accepts the situations at her Sasural. Despite having failed to win her mother-in-laws heart numerous times, she does not give up. She always tries to make others happy, but in the process gets herself into trouble and unintentionally comes up with a lie. Kartik does love her and understands her. Inspite of having a loving husband, she is facing a tough challenge in being accepted as the Panchvi Bahu of Mrs Kaushik. Even though Lovely is fortunate enough to marry the man she loved, she is still struggling to prove her worth like Lata, Sandhya and Priya. We hope Mrs. Kaushik soon understands her good intentions and realizes that discipline, though very essential within a family, when stretched beyond a limit can suffocate and ruin relations.
Priya in Bade Acche Lagte Hain: Priya, born and brought up in a middle class family has always been an ideal daughter, an ideal sister and even an ideal friend. In trying to help her father financially to run the house, Priya sacrificed the golden years of her life. While she had given up on her marriage, destiny had its own plans. Much against her wishes, circumstances caused Priya to tie the knot with the Business Tycoon, Mr. Ram Kapoor. Priya from her small cozy flat lands up in a mansion where family members talk to each other over the intercom, where lighting incense sticks before God is forbidden due to the fire alarms. Much to her surprise and annoyance, a simple request for tea in her sasural is met with options galore that leave her confused. Last but not the least; Priya also has to cope with Ram’s snoring habit which initially gives her sleepless nights. While Priya is learning to adjust and mould herself to this new lifestyle, only thing that binds her and Ram together is their undying love and sacrifices each has made for their families. As Priya is slowly seeing Ram in a new light, we hope that her relationship soon goes beyond “Compromise” and she emerges as an ideal Bahu too.
At Rangmunch.TV, we would like to know from our readers, which of these Bahu’s do you relate to the most and what would be your words of wisdom to them.
