As far as teenagers go, Shravan-Sumo have definitely landed in their own league😆.
On a "first date", these two decide to play some kind of " 1 - 5 - loser" question game with each other😆. Regardless of the randomness of this game, I liked that it had a sense of getting to know each other after the dust settles from their confessions.....and the added touch of both of them realizing they knew so much about each other without ever really talking about it directly😆. LOL though at the "Ek duje ke vaaste" plug in every other scene now.....it's a little on the nose frankly😆. We get it....they are "made for each other"....does it have to be spoonfed to us in every scene?😆
I'm also not a fan of the season 1 song playing in every other scene for them these days.....what happened to the song choices from the team? Budget khatam ho gaya to use Ayushman or Arijit songs?😆....now they are just randomly playing the season 1 song on every scene with maybe a few bits of the season 2 song.
I was prepared for more cheesy stuff coming out from their scenes cuz the transition from the confession was a little off balance in some ways....but things have looked up again from yesterday's epi and continued into today....even the bits where they were staring at each other were not overdone....and the little bits like the one when Shravan holds her hand and they smile at each other in the back of the truck had a sweet simplicity about them.....a sense of joy and contentment emanating from both of them.....as if they find a sense of calm with each other. And I must add, I appreciate that Kanika is downplaying a shy Sumo....it's not the typical coyness.
Which then brings us to the "big moment" from the epi today....The HUG😆....I've found this entire build up of awkwardness about a touch/hug to be a little overdone in the last few epis frankly but today, all the scenes flowed well. The "kidnapping" or whatever that was....lol it hardly lasted like 10-15 minutes it seems😆.....was essentially a setup for both of them to feel the panic of being seperated and that propelled them into seeking each other out for reassurance.....that is why the hug flowed very nicely in that scene.....both of them reached for each other almost simultaneously to enfold each other in that hug. It didn't feel overdone, it wasn't overtly drawn out....all of the emotion felt summed up just right in that moment, which is why I liked it.
Mystery remains though about how Shravan managed to fix his bike and follow the truck to rescue his Sumo😆. I also LOL-ed at Sumo threatening the driver and preparing to jump but by then Shravan had landed up there too😆.
Finally, the last moment in the end.....Shravan ke liye unexpected reward😆. A "date" that started with a Sumo too awkward too even put her hand on his shoulders ended with Sumo putting her arms around his middle and basically hugging him on the bike😆.....his initially zapped face and then the BIG happy grin cracked me up😆.
It was all in the little moments in this epi....a sense of both of them settling into the shift in their relationship - whether it was a growing comfort physically or emotionally....especially from Suman's side....it was done nicely today. It continued on into the last scene when Sumo initially tries to remove his jacket to check on his injury then gets briefly awkward again....but Shravan diffuses it all with a filmy line and takes off😆.....LOL@ Sumo marveling how she managed to fall for such a filmy guy😆.
Chalo, I guess all their happiness had to be compressed in this epi😆.....cuz trouble is coming up quick ahead as the Pari-WAR drama heats up. Bechara Shravan is gonna get blacklisted cuz of his Chachu's mess....I guess Sumo-Shravan will have to sneak around for a bit now😆.
