First, I need to vent something: I FRIGGING HATE THE DOUBLE V DRAMA. Finish him, please. I beg you, writers. Finish him before I die of utter frustration.
Now, on to the episode. It was a surprisingly good start on the week, I must admit. Finally, the story progressed, the characters developed a bit as well. And a secret was revealed.
>> Pros:
1) Raghav refuses to drop Sia off and Sia is upset
First, I loved it when Taashu insisted on calling Raghav to give Sia a ride and Sia did not protest wholeheartedly. It seemed to me that she wanted a ride from Raghav. When he'd come out, she wouldn't meet his eyes [nerves?] and went on saying "no, it's fine, I'll go", even as she continued standing there, hoping for him to say "okay, I'll give you that ride".
He never did. Because he's withdrawing from her and she can sense that. It worried her. It confused her. It upset her. She didn't like it. Especially when he asked V to give her the ride, it really seemed to upset her. That was not what she'd hoped he'd say.
I loved this entire scene because it portrayed Sia's emotions so beautifully. Because she has given their relationship a name [friendship], she could allow herself to need him and want to spend time with him -- but he withdrew from her entirely, and that hurt.
2) Sia refuses to take a ride from V and V is upset
OMG, I loved it *does the conga* With Raghav, she stuck around, hoping he would offer. With V, she plainly refused and walked away. The best part was how it stung V. Ah, now that's what I call entertainment.
3) Ashram Didi recognizes V
Thank God for some logic. It's rare on this show nowadays. But I've always liked ashram didi and thus I was happy when she saw V with Sia and recognized him as the sirphera. Or whatever she called him. Hope she'll pass the info to Raghav, put his guard back up around V.
4) KriGhav moment and Raghav's expressive eyes
Yiir. KriGhav moments always cheer me up. It was so cute -- the way Krish wrapped his arms around Raghav's legs, and told him through signs that he was scared of going back to school [naturally]. I especially loved Harshad's expressive eyes in this scene. He used them beautifully throughout the scene.
The milk thing was adorable. LOL.
5) Sia shuts V up and leaves his car midway
Music to my ears when she practically told him to mind his own business. Sia is starting to show some guts, which I really like. There was a change in her character tonight. Layers were added to it somehow. Tonight, I enjoyed watching her character.
Returning to the point; I loved it when she told V to stop the car and then stepped out with no real apologetic attitude. LMAO. She just walked away from him. She was awesome.
6) Sia seeks out Raghav at his garage
Huh. Someone's been thinking about a certain someone all morning and found an excuse to seek him out *grin* Heh. That list was an excuse. She likes his company. She was kind of upset about that morning and concerned that she'd lose him, so she sought him. There was absolutely no fear to trace in her approach.
You know what I saw again tonight? The complete blind trust that she has when it comes to Raghav? Even when he's standing with a tool in his hand, hammering away, she didn't fear him. She kept insisting on talking to him.
7) Raghav hurts himself and Sia touches his hand
That was such a sweet, such a bittersweet moment. When he accidentally slammed that hammer down on his finger due to her distracting him, and she reached for his hand -- at her touch, he gently pulled free because her touch hurt him more than the hammer did.
Beautiful performances by Harshad and Sriti in this scene.
8) Raghav tries to shut her out, fails, and almost tells her that he loves her
God, I loved how Sia kept insisting on knowing what was bothering him. No fear. And no surrender. Finally, he cracked. He almost told her that he loved her. "Main aapse--" Then he froze, swallowed, and left.
Too late. Sia got it. She finally got it. God bless the writers.
9) "If he loves me, then why did he yell at me?"
LMAO. Omigod, I cracked up when she said that. First, I loved Sriti's solo performance in this scene. Her realization and the complete calm. I mean, she didn't seem horrorfied. In fact, she was more upset about why he'd yelled at her when he loved her *grin*
It was sweet. I totally cracked up. Because it revealed that, somewhere deep down, she's known this all along and she's not repelled at the thought *wink wink*
10) Sia walks right past V without a glance
HILARIOUS! I loved how V got pissed when he tried to catch her eye and she just passed him without even one glance, her mind focused on Raghav.
11) Sundar escaped
*phew* I'm so frigging relieved. I was afraid that he'd be hurt. He could still be hurt, but I'm hoping that he reaches Raghav and safety in time.
12) Taashu-Raghav interaction
Always a pleasure. It was a brief moment, but sweet and funny all the same *happy* They have awesome chemistry. Just enjoyable.
13) Sia wore less makeup tonight
Did anyone else notice? It was still quite visible, but her face seemed more natural. They still need to ease up on the lipstick and eyeshadow though. I mean, the pink lipstick is a bit Barbie Doll pink on her.
>> Cons:
1) Double V, Double V, DOUBLE FRIGGING V!
God help me. I cannot stand one more scene with these two. This isn't Comedy Circus, for crying out loud. Remove Double V and stick to scary, original V, please. I can't stand it when they make such a dangerous and scary character pathetic or ridicule him by creating a double and turning him into a circus clown -_-
