Hi shama,
Another awsome analysis as usual. In fact, Your analysis just saved my day. I didnt get to watch yesterday's episode, so the first thing I did when I got back was read your analysis. Thanfully I watched the epi on my laptop, so it saved me from the torture of wading through the unnecesary and absolutely boring love-scenes of B-M, and A-T.
Seriously, I mean I just want to ask the CV's - Do you have any problem with rising TRP's? Dont get me wrong, I find the CV's absolutley brilliant in thier characterisations and casting and givng us one of the best love stories of Indian telly. But when it comes to doing something for the show they seem absolutely clueless. The only reason I am being so cynical and critical is that, was it really necessary for the CV's to show a full ten minutes of the BR-Maya jaal with BR coochie cooing and making us rush to our medicine cabinets for some strong anti-emetics and Akash(I am going to call him that becoz there is no way in hell he is aryan) wasting a full five minutes on sleeping on the couch, dreaming of -----? All we wanted to have was that one scene of maybe 10 seconds where maya gets a phone call and she acts all suspicious and Akash introducing his new found love interest to make us believe that he is infact Aryan and not akash. That would have sufficed, not the sleep inducing, long drawn out amar prem kahani of Akash and Tara and Brij and maya. I would rather see more VB or J or bua if they feel like taking slow with manveer. EVEN M'S EARRING WAS GETTING MORE SCREEN SPACE than M/UV these days. 😠tsk tsk tsk.. not fair. Ahh! finally we get a scene when that earring is thrown away. Thank God, otherwise who knew how many more epi's we would have to bear the torture of Akash-earring prem kahani. Weird.
Something about this new Aryan just puts me off. The new look, the new clothes just end up making him more of a wannabe than what he was before. Like you said, I would at this point, have the old akash back. Atleast, although he was sopoforic to the extreme, he didnt sound fake. This new Akash, just cant pull of this rich, snobby, cool dude attitude. He sounds like a UV-look alike the CV's want to push down our throats. He deserves a better wardrobe and a better characterisation than that if he has to truly compete with UV and make it believable. That said, they gave us one perfect 'prince' in the form of UV. Its gonna hard topping that with anyone else. Nobody can beat UV at being UV than UV himself. (Doesnt make much sense na... sigh, i'm drugged up on coffee)
Coming to the epi - When I saw the first scene I was like wow.. finally some sisterly bonding. I could really feel like this time J was trying to help M than anything else, and just when I was willing to give J a chance, everything went for a toss. Thankfully, we have the voice of reason in the form of VB. He is really proving to be M's support and guide in all this especially because right now it seems like M has no-one. I loved how he told M that she is wrong in trusting J. At the same time, I think VB knows that whatever UV may have done in the past, UV would always be on M's side and would never hurt her. That's why he said that if anyone can help M through this mess it's only and only UV. I liked that, truly. Because it paves the way for something I have been dreaming of since that one dialogue that UV had uttered so long ago - "Ab sari khudai ek taraf, aur manyata aur hum ek taraf" I've always wanted to see that in action, with UV being the brains and manyata being the heart that rules over both the riyasats. But ofcourse, Manyata is one stubborn chick, who most often than not is stubborn against her own developement.
I am going to skip over the akash-tara nonsense, and the BR-maya crap becaus it was just that, BUT there is one thing about this mess that caught my ears. The phone call that maya got. Who was it? Because it sure sounded like whoever it was, was the one who has brought this 'marz' back into brij's life for his/her own selfish reasons. I first thought it was GR, but then I got to thinking, we know that UV-M are going to pair up to get to the bottom of maya mess (all thanks to nizza), and we cant yet have UV finding out that it was his dad all along. That point will come when we will have UV at the biggest crossroads of his life - when he will have to choose between what is right and his dad, but i dont think the CV's would bring it so soon, because that in itself would be a huge track with lots of conflicts and realisations on the part of jaigarh parivar. So then who exactly was it? Why do I feel it is jagat/akash team??? Maybe not. But i cant shake the feeling that it isn't GR but someone else. God, dont tell another character that will come into play! sigh!!
After so much of nonsense we finally get our 3 seconds of manveer bliss. Aww... she dreams of him. Yeah girl, thats totally normal. because since the time I have been hooked to this serial, (about 3 weeks now) I have dreamt of little else. And then she goes right ahead and caresses him the way he did with so much love and affection. Yeah girl, you are in love. I just loved the way UV's eyes closed at her first touch - like he was cherishing it like the biggest gift ever given to him. And then she snaps out of it - lol. UV's expression was priceless and he teased her so bad - 'so u are dreaming of me now???' And M went right ahead and told him that she will never ever take help from him. Now that just makes me happy. because whenever M says that she wont do something, she always ends up doing the very same thing. LOL.
J, J, J... when will you learn, that every time u plot it backfires on you and no-one else. Its got to the point where people have stopped taking you seriously. Even UV had a slight smirk on his face rather than anger when he first saw u on DS's desk. I liked that even though M is refusing UV's help, UV is still protecting M by driving some hard truth's into J's shallow brains. He very calmly let J know that even though she may think that she is safe because M trusts her and VB wont be able to do much, still, he is laways watching her and if she puts one foot out of the line to hurt M, he will be onto her so fast that she wont know whats hit her. And then she had to go straight ahead and provoke UV by saying that M would only love akash. Sorry girl, but that ship has sailed and M is already falling head over heels for prince UV. And i agree with you, shama, M is more hurt by the fact that UV betrayed her, than the fact that Akash died. WOW. clues much??
A lot of foreshadowing in this convo. J is going to make UV-M allaince as difficult as possible. therefore, when J sees this akash (supposedly akash look alike) she is going to make sure that her sister will remember her old BF. UV has vowed that M will forget and there was a lot of anger and frustration and determination in his eyes. So when UV comes to know about this Aryan/akash whatever, he isnt going to take it lying down and I dont know what the end result will be but I just hope UV doesnt do something that will furthur put him in a negative light. Thats all i ask.
Precap: J back to being J. which just means that we will get the manveer we want.
lots of love and affection,
shal. 😊
P.S: A thought just struck me. VB must have been the one na... to call up UV and tell him to come over coz M needs his help. Awww... VB is so cute. I would love to see VB-Unnati getting together and plotting and planning to play the cupid for manveer. small stunts like locking them together in the same room or tricking them into going on a perfect date or other fun acts that would get them to admit their feelings. Awww... that would so much fun to watch. better than the maya tara jaal for sure.
