Hindi TV Serial – Na Aana Iss Des Ladoo – Has Ammaji really got transformed after learning that Amba is her own daughter

On May 29, 2010 in Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Na Aana Iss Desh Ladoo, Ruthless, Saas-Bahu, Society, TV, Values

Is there really a transformatation in Ammaji after she got to learn that Amba is her own daughter ? It is hard to believe that somebody as strong willed as Ammaji will not have the capacity to withstand shocks, but it would seem that the makers of the serial are trying to show that maybe she can also change over a period of time. In this case, Ammaji spent a lot of time tracking down who Amba is, what are her origins, and finally tracked down the Daima of Amba, somebody known to her. This was the same Daima to whom Ammaji had handed over Amba soon after she was born; and this was the same Daima who told Amba later about how Ammaji was her real mother and had handed her over after she was born; thus causing a huge amount of hatred to be formed in Amba against Ammaji.
Now, Ammaji has got to know about Amba, and this is causing a huge amount of emotional turmoil in her; she now understands why Amba hates her; but is there a real change of heart ? That one cannot be sure, and it is doubtful whether anyone knows. The makers of the serial can change the situation anytime, say for example, a couple of weeks later, they can show that this transformation was fake and was meant to find out all those in the household who were supportive of Amba.
For now, Ammaji is trying to be supportive of Amba to some degree, so that when Jogi comes to say something that is against Amba, Ammaji scolds him and sends him away, she tries to act more supportive of Amba; and also comes into view Amba when Amba is sleeping, with the makers of the serial showing her giving a tender look. However, by now Amba refuses to believe that Ammaji can transform in any way; and has sworn to teach the oppressed women of the household how to speak up for themselves and protect their rights; starting with Sia.

Hindi TV Serial – Laagi Tujhse Lagan on Colors – Datta marries Nakusha in a drunken stupor, but his sister now humiliating her

On May 20, 2010 in Character, Colors, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Laagi Tujhse lagan, Marriage, Romance, Ruthless, TV, Values

In Laagi Tujhe Lagan on Colors, Nakusha is facing a huge challenge. The tactics of Kala (Datta’s sister) to blame Nakusha for Supriya running away seem to have worked out, with everybody convinced that Nakusha was to blame, and she was unable to deny convincingly. So, Datta got real angry, and when combined with being drunk, he decided to take revenge in a different but predictable way. He told Nakusha that he will marry her and make her life hell, and so, in front of all the astonished family members, he marries Nakusha, but roughly. Nakusha however does take this as a proper marriage, and is ready to live with him in whatever way he wants to keep her.
And then the next morning, Kala comes in and tells Nakusha that she needs to leave the house. She wants to get Nakusha away and also blame her for running away, since that will ensure that the focus and anger of Datta will remain on Nakusha, as well as there is low chance of him getting involved with a girl again. So, in the morning, she scolds Nakusha that the marriage was held around a flame fueled by whiskey, and where Datta was angry and drunk, and that Nakusha should not consider that this was a proper marriage; in fact, when Datta will get up, he would regret everything that has happened and turn out Nakusha from the house right away or even harm her.
When Nakusha refuses to leave, Kala slaps her and forces her out of the house, backed by the other members of the household. Finally Nakusha and her family leaves, and when Datta gets up, he asks for Nakusha. When he learns from Kala that Nakusha fled the house, he gives chase and catches up with them, since his punishment of Nakusha is just starting and he would not let her go so easily.

Hindi TV Serial – Na Aana Is Des Ladoo – Ammaji growing furious over Amba, but does not know that this is her daughter

Finally the serial makers are showing somebody who can stand up to Ammaji, although there is a sneaking feeling that maybe this challenge will also fizzle out (after all, Sia continues to be a failure in terms of challenging Ammaji, the DM was also a failure, and so far nobody has managed to challenge Ammaji in terms of Amba). The reason she is able to challenge like this is because she has Raghav in her capture and Ammaji would not like to do anything that could cause harm to Raghav. At the same time, Amba is systematically humiliating Ammaji and her sons, something that caused great anger to Ammaji (to the extent that if Raghav was found, Ammaji would kill Amba very easily).
Ammaji is careful that she is not able to try to cause harm to Amba directly without making an attempt to get Raghav out from her clutches, as when Rangeeli wants to kill Amba because of all the insults that have been heaped on her, Ammaji stops her.
The reason behind this anger that Amba feels for Ammaji is that she is actually Ammaji’s daughter, one that Ammaji gave away when she was born, because she was a daughter. Amba found out later about this from the Tai who was taking care of her, and was then given away to a family who was part of a group of dacoits, and that is how she is now a dacoit leader and also very angry against Ammaji. Amba wants to change the entire structure of Ammaji’s house, remove the huge control that Ammaji has on the house, remove the discrimination against women in the house and is willing to use whatever force is necessary to achieve this.

Hindi TV Serial – Na Aana Is Des Ladoo – Ammaji trying to turn Samar away from Amba, while Amba trying to change things in the haveli

On May 08, 2010 in Character, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Na Aana Iss Desh Ladoo, Ruthless, Society, TV

Ever since Amba kidnapped Raghav and keeps him away, she is staying in Ammaji’s haveli and trying to change things in the haveli. And Amba seems to have an old problem with Ammaji, and trying to level the scores a bit. Also, seeing how she is, the women in the household who have had a problem with Ammaji such as Sia and Santosh are starting to support her, to the extent that Santosh replies back to Jogi and claims that he will be set right by Amba (and then Jogi dreams about when Raghav is found, and then he will take his revenge against both Amba, and then Santosh).
Other ladies in the house such as Rangeeli who used to misbehave with the others worry about the reaction from Amba to their normal behavior; such as when Amba sentences Rangeeli to starve for a day for misbehaving with Santosh; and then when Rangeeli tries to mix something in the juice that Amba was supposed to drink, she gets caught and has to do 200 situps.
One of Amba’s men, Samar, is susceptible to the influence by Ammaji, more so when Ammaji plies with sweets and special drinks, and also plays up to him by claiming that such a powerful man should not be under the influence of a woman leader and should have his own gang. Samar comes under this influence, and seems to start supporting Ammaji, promising her that he would help her by taking Ammaji and her men to save Raghav. However, Amba is suspicious that Samar is falling under the influence of Ammaji and may be close to becoming a traitor.
Now, the basic issue is whether Amba will be able to stay ahead of Ammaji, ensure that Raghav does not run away from his captivity, and that she is able to change the way things are running in the haveli.
