Today's Take - Face Off

Mixed bag episode ... the setting is dramatic but the acting was good. The last scene was the best ... the confrontation between CC-Rupali.

Again there was attention to detail ... the accident victim told Manav which hospital he wanted to go to ... so that explained how the entire set up there worked for him ... apparently all set up by Rupali. Just wonder what if Manav had not braked in time and the guy had really gotten hurt, too hurt to specify which hospital he wanted to be taken to? Rupali's plan would have sunk without trace!

Manthan is not pulling with the entire family yet ... his grievances with Manav remain ... so Babuji's dream to see the entire family united will have to wait a little longer. Mugut and Manek on the other hand are with Manav. Kaumudi trusts Chhanchhan and Manav completely ... she knows they are never irresponsible, so there has to be something wrong.

The hospital scene was bad ... am resigned to the fact that hospital scenes in all telly shows are pathetic ... including that death announcement. And what was that about the delay about taking the guy to the hospital ... I thought ChhanMan took him there pretty quickly. 😕

The Manav-Chhanchhan bedroom scene was good but too short ... Anuj was good as the guy who is genuinely shattered to know that he has taken someone's life ... even a troubled but still reassuring Chhanchhan could not bring him out of that overwhelming guilt.

Broker is actually alive, of course ... so Manav's guilt is completely misplaced ... 😕

Police coming to arrest Manav ... why did Manav Chhanchhan not tell the family about the broker's death? So the police have also been bought off by Rupali .. or this particular set of policemen have, anyway. This scene, like the hospital scene, was marred by poor dialogues ...

Brothers and CC at police station ... Rupali calls Manav to gloat, CC takes the call and realises that this part is also Rupali's plan ... Manav had already told her about the broker plant, fortunately ...

Rupali-Chhanchhan ... best scene of the day ... the actress playing Rupali was good, supercilious and disdainful of CC ... so you know all this was my plan, what are you going to do about it? The edgy, almost out of control character was well done ...
And Sanaya was great ... controlled fury in her voice and eyes ... momentary doubt as Rupali speaks, then she regains her anger and her courage .. do what you like, I will get Manav out of this.
Always love Sanaya in these scenes ... she never loses her voice control, nor does she ever get shrieky or shrill when she gets angry. And Rupali was very good too.

Precap - Manav is apparently out on bail and back home ... am wondering how will CC get Manav out of this one. The deal breaker will be if they can find that the broker is still alive ... is Nerd Vineet going to come back for that, or will it all be Chhanchhan, maybe this time with Manthan's help? Or with Manav himself? Will Umaben come back to help, now that she has also been de-throned from her MM?

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!

I dont know if i should say this but really what was happening today?? Seemed like the script and screenplay writers and other creatives have already moved on.. The only saving grace were the actors, all of whom did a great job in spite of the screenplay. I feel really sad to say this for Chhanchhan as one thing i liked about this was the realistic approach..

A lot happened in the episode tday ...

The accident part and the hospital, the doctors it appeared right out of some cheesy 70s movie.. And even in such movies i dont think any doctor will deliver the news of death in that way!

And Rupali's dialogues seemed like they had just picked it out of some random old movie with a wife v/s girlfriend concept.. Although the actress who plays Rupali did her best, there's a limit to what one can do..

Sanaya and Anuj also tried to make it tolerable with their performance but ultimately the script and dialogues do matter.

When i'd heard its going to be Chhanchhan fighting Rupali to save Manav in yesterday's spoilers I had huge hopes but really what they showed today makes me scared as to what they are gonna do for next 7 episodes..

Appreciate Sanaya and the rest of the cast for their brilliant acting inspite of the sad state of the script..

@TM waiting to hear your views. If u feel i should remove this plz tell me.. I feel really disappointed to be writing this but just felt i had to say what i felt..

No, don't remove your post, this your opinion which is as valid as others. This is an episode discussion thread and all views and perspectives are welcome. About the writing and screenplay, it has been the biggest complaint of most from the beginning, now it is just about tying some loose ends and calling it a day. Pity, considering they have such wonderful actors to work with.
