The second promo of Pehredaar Piya Ki’s post-time leap series Rishta Likhenge Hum Naya is here and we went through it to find out if its a better insight into the upcoming show. Here’s what we thought about it-
What’s it about?
This half a minute clip doesn’t leave much to interpretation. It starts out with a grown up Ratan (Rohit Suchanti) tying Diya’s (Tejasswi Prakash Wayangankar) hands as he takes the driver’s seat in the gypsy (and their relationship too it seems). He playfully tells Diya that she works her brain, her gun and worst of all, her mouth a little too much (he means this part by the way). Ratan tapes her mouth too, while she protests claiming that the land and the people have changed quite a lot in his absence. The promo ends with them driving off into the desert.
What we liked?
We think this peek into the newly formed relation between the two protagonists, is rather revealing. The switch in their characteristics comes across pretty well. We also liked how Ratan taking over the scenario of things here, plays out in the short glimpse.
What we didn’t like?
Well, he did tie her hands and tape her mouth. Considering that this series comes as a consolation for the entire Pehredaar Piya Ki controversy, we aren’t sure this is a good idea. We get that Ratan is much older, but this only makes the unnecessary measure of tying up Piya rather irresponsible.
The Verdict:
The promo did send a message and set the tone of the upcoming show. We don’t mind keeping the show open to interpretation, but with the tying of hands and the mouth taping we couldn’t help but wonder if it was pivotal, they announce a shift in the dominance paradigm this way. It only leads us to think it may be another error in representation, the way it went down in the previous show.
Ratings: **1/2 (2.5 stars)
