Perhaps it was just me but I absolutely adored today's episode and somehow felt the originality of DMG to be on an all time high once more...why?
Riddhima's road to redemption....seems to have begun. Her side of the story was explored today. They tried, and perhaps for some people satisfactorily justified her reactions in previous episodes completely. She loves him. She thinks he is loyal and a good guy in general but- He is just too DIFFERENT to her, perhaps just beyond her comprehension? His reactions, his way of living and behaving are different to what she is like, completely. That can make some one think whether they are compatible for the long term? I still did not like her saying he (the hero..!) didn't take life seriously. Im sorry if he didnt he wouldnt really be a doctor- he would still be in the arena, and bike racing is a thrill it doesnt mean he's not serious about life. but apart from that- i saw glimpses of her perspective and a more transparent character emerging, especially aided by the visual flashbacks that helped her narrate the (Film...lol...)story- wonderful touch.
(side note: though I think they are very cunningly trying to get us to forget that she wasnt all that 'seedhi saadhi' to begin with. May I remind you of the fake molestation? I believe she deserved a slap there more than Armaan did for his fake bloody letter)
Secondly, I dont know how much they are going to stretch this- I think they should....Riddhima's incompetency in handling emergency cases....! I had been noticing this for a very very long time but just dared not mention it. She is hopeless when it comes to emergencies. Like armaan pointed out very aptly- The police officer in the lift, the gujju bhai the other day and i swear there were more- she panics. she might be a really good doc generally no doubt. But perhaps they should stretch it to her feeling guilty for not deserving the award...? bit more sensitivity on the professional side of things maybe?
Third thing was the subtlety of human emotion that they tapped into today. Something as small as accidentally hitting someones head lead to her reacting in an impulsive way (added to the anger of what he had just said about her) and telling him to go away- and the way he just got up and left- WOW...i mean how many times have i done that myself! just left when someone said something angrily. The person who said it is usually left thinking...'oh no...they actually did leave' And then going getting the payal out to cry on and reflect back on everything followed by throwing the payal down in anger at the other persons insensitivities- It was so realistic!
Just hats off today really!đđđ
