Wheee, I got my laptop back early! Turns out, the center works on Sundays too :)))
Anyway, so I watched the Friday episode of MB, and in agreement with you both, the sequences, despite being dream on dream, were well done. I think I'm going to stay in at least mild wonder about how this show pulls on some classic cliche slash overused executions but somehow does it in a way that suits its own bill.
In particular, I liked the choreography of the bit in the phone booth (that's JTHJ inspired?! 🤓 had no idea, but just the thought of SRK romancing Kat in that manner makes me cringe. Seriously, back to what you said Nur, how long before it begins to look creepy slash he realizes it already does look so?) Khair, interestingly, it fit Madhu and RK quite well, given the setting of the dream was a Bollywood song being shot, and given that they actually looked sweet...
The other bit I liked was from Madhu's bedroom scene using RK's dress coat as a prop, when she slips in arm into the sleeve and then turns around with it, and then the hand clutch. For one it was a change from the usual dance with heroes clothes plain dance, and for another, I quite liked how it came out. DD definitely emotes her best while dancing. Anyway bi, as Nurey says, I'm the "DD fan here" 🤣 But ni, amazingly, for all the cheese and dreams and luv-shuv in this episode, it was decently executed, particularly not overdone, and I suppose RK's guess-my-reaction face sometimes has some role to play in how romance doesn't come in an overdose 😆
@RK's reaction even in Madhu's dream - I found that quite interesting in fact. Technically, Madhu does have some fair idea about how RK could react to her being in love with him. It showed in the earlier scene this week where she caressed his face walked away, then turned around a bit alarmed like she could feel his eyes on her and then back again with a relieved smile thinking he was asleep... She can't help the way the sentiments are absorbing her own self, but there is some part of her which remains aware of the most likely reality of this situation, for now... and I guess the dream in a way sees RK's reaction for what she subconsciously expects it to be...
On the same note but other hand RK's own reaction in the morning to finding Madhu caressing his face was - apart from being hilarious 😆 - quite credible! I love how these nuances are so true to their respective characters. RK hasn't fancy dreamed about Madhu the first time, so that faint si smile on his face when he just comes around can be assumed as a subconscious drifting thought of her witnessing her face in front of him. But the alarm kicks in, almost on cue of Madhu's own reaction, not just because he's spooked by her paap ki bhavna 😆 but because, yes, like you pointed out Nur, she has now seen him seeing her, and he can't just fake sleep and bask in the glory of the moment secretly 😆
Such a perfectly nuanced moment to show the wall he's not willing to drop, but in some form of self awareness, a warmth beyond it that he does like... So he's not entirely a person in denial - he's just not as far gone as Madhu - but the sentiments brew, and he isn't disregarding them as much, as he is unwilling to have Madhu catch him at any such point. It's like he wants to stay in the safe cache of enjoying someone's unconditional sentiments for him without letting that person become privy to the vulnerability of his true bliss, not out of doubting Madhu herself, but from having been too scarred to not be reflexively guarded.
The upper hand, that you also mentioned somewhere Nur, which he retains in their bond, at least currently is not his tool of power, as it is his shield. So long as he can control the flow of sentiments, he feels safe enough to let them prevail. Within himself, he's mostly okay, even warmed by the general attention he gets from Madhu. The right that he had exerted on her initially out of revenge has long undergone a transformation and currently his sense of exerting right on her is like a fond part of their relationship now, for both of them... Innately, they are both needy souls, and that's where despite whatever walls threaten to come between, they don't end up suffocating each other with their occasional enough unusual ways!

Khair, on another note, I just had to go and stalk Viraf on Twitter after the referencing here, and you just HAVE to read this one exchange - dude is totally enjoying being not all nice ass to jerked up rabid fangirls 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I almost felt sorry for him even considering to step into this role, but one visit to his Twitter account has changed that! If ever, now might be the time to tune into IPink, just for kicks 😆 If nothing else, at least we'll finally hear the lines awesomesauce Mr. Raizada gets to deliver 😆
