#*Devil's Den#* Ateet ki Dastak [INDEX Pg 1]

Helloooo Denizens 🤗🤗🤗 Wassup? Hope you have recovered from the emotional punches thrown at us today and can appreciate the awesomeness 😃 of the journey on which we started tonight 😍

Yup ... I loved the episode 😳 Hats of CVs, Guru and Drashti 👏👏👏

Note: Before I begin, sorry for the delay in putting up this update had several interruptions .. load shedding, load shedding, father, load shedding, father, father ... in that order 😆I should have read my horoscope this morning 😆 would have known that today is the day of tension between my domestic world and outer world

Note II: I m in a crazy mood tonight 😳😆 The titles/songs here bear no relevance to the actual episode 😆

Okay ... on to the analysis shall we😃?

Akele Na Jana Humein Chor Kar Tum

Tumhare Bina Hum Bhala Kia Jeeien Gae ...

Hmm ... Maan as we know had already decided that he was mistaken about Geet and he would end this game between the two. Maan spoke a very interesting line here

Kisi aisi jaga chala gaya tha jahan kisi ko bardasht karna muhkil hogaya tha

Question is ... who was he referring to? Geet, his own self or both? If he was referring to Geet, did it mean Geet hurt him almost to breaking point and hence he was unable to bear her presence? Or was he angry with himself because he had caused Geet's tears? Or was he disgusted with himself ... for allowing the situation to reach such a point where he was at a disadvantage? In my opinion it was the last option but either way ... the agonizing pain beneath the anger was very obvious 😭😭😭. He opened his heart and the result was rejection and pain ...Maan decides to deal with this pain the only way he knows ... becoming a loner ...Here we saw Maan retreating inside his shell ... the shell of hardiness and I-don't-give-a-damn-attitude ... and unless something drastic happens .. Maan will not open himself up again ...

Question: will he really succeed in closing down the doors to his heart?

Geet meanwhile ... poor girl ... she could well assuage his anger and pain if she could just reveal her feelings but ... she can't 😭 off course she was hurt by what Maan said ... however at this point she can't do one damn thing to change the status qou 😭😭😭

Mujhe Tum Nazar Se Gira Tou Rahe Ho

Mujhe Tum Kabhi Bhi Bhula Na Sako Gae...

Geet followed Maan to the main house to tell him about the lipstick mark 😆 and was unable to do so ... Maan's pretense that he didn't remember the previous night ... Geet didn't know whether to be relieved or sad😭 ...What happened ... no matter the consequences... it was beautiful to her (and to us 😍) this was the typical battle of mind versus heart ... the situation thus created was perfect ... logically speaking but what to do with a broken heart🥺?

Maan is in full on defensive mood here ... pretending that he doesn't remember the night when he did... that barb that nothing important or worth remembering happened .. ouch man ... that hurts and we know Geet was terribly hurt as well😭😭😭 ... But we know it is a defense mechanism being employed by Maan here ... pretend that he has forgotten all about the night ... that it held no significance and may be someday it will really be insignificant ... I think it was also an attempt by Maan to sort of gather what was left of his pride which, considering how arrogant he can be must be in tatters at this point ...

The Dev-Maan scene was a nice one actually ... Dev I suppose was still upset at the way his anniversary plans had blown up ... he was more subdued here ... instead of teasing Maan to death ... he was happy for Maan ... Maan's dialogues that women were complicated and difficult to understand also gave Dev something to chew over ... but being the dumb dodo that he is😆😆😆 ...I doubt he will try to understand where NT was coming from

Sada Houn Apne Pyaar Ki ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-PK-6plWbA

The lipstick mark😛 gave a lot to Maan to think over ... he said women are complicated because he finally realized that inspite of feeling something for him Geet is not opening up ... And wants him to stay away from her ... Maan finally asked a question here ... how can she say that to me when she feels the same for me as I for her? ...This question was asked in anger ... Well at this stage it is justifiable I suppose ... just the previous night he was told that the girl he is in love with doesn't feel the same way about him ... Just this morning he was guilt stricken because of her tears and now that he realized that she has feelings for him ... off course he would be angry with her ... I just hope that he cools down enough to think and wonder why Geet is doing this and than connect her behavior now to the events in Hoshiarpur .... I really hope that Maan decides to find answers as to the cause behind Geet's behavior but first he needs to calm down ... Right now he was in his angry-young-man avatar ... tit for tat mood .... That ok she wants me to leave her alone ... I'll wipe away everything that connects me with her ... He had said this line once before ... when he was about to leave Hoshiarpur ...but the frenzy seen in his actions today was not there than ... and in this frenzied actions we saw his anguish as well ... In this state of mind he will not think about where Geet is coming from ... He will need our Cupid to point him in the right direction 😆😆

Jab Koi Pyar Se Bolaye Ga

Tum Ko Aik Shakhs Yaad Aye Ga ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebcwg8WrBDI

Pari (thankfully she was very sane today 😆) had noticed the undercurrents between Maan and Geet so she played a game to see if she was right or wrong ... It was pretty interesting here that Geet connected everything with Maan today 😍.. as if she never had any special memories related to rose or rain that could take her back to Hoshiarpur[

Roses, Candlelight Dinner, Dance and Rain ... her first thought was Maan😍 ... the memories were of events that were both sad (Kurbaan Hua .. though that was awesome for us 😆) and somewhat pleasant(Hum Tum Aik Kamre mein band hoon😆) So everything related to Maan was memorable for her ... Ahh the pathos😭 ... this girl is in deep ...heart, mind and soul ...and even though she is trying to stay grounded ... and not let her emotions overrule her ... she is defenseless really against the onslaught of bittersweet memories

Bhuli Hui Hoon Dastaan

Guzra Hua Khayal Hoon...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0CrYbUJVlA

Maan ... Maan's hurt was evident when he told Dadi in order to move forward one needs to reopen old memories😭 ...That taveez ... he was taking it to that storehouse of painful memories to throw it away there and let it become just yet another disappointment in life ....On a symbolic level ... this man is adamant to bury his feelings for Geet ... along with the memories that were both joyous and painful ...

Today we were given a peek in to Maan's past ... this was by far the best scene of the episode ...We were given two (of i think several) instances which shaped Maan, the man he is today ... One was the picture of a smiling Maan and the other a bicycle.

His comment about laughter ... it was about something more than the simple flexing of muscles ... he associated it with all the joys life had to give ... which for him came at a cost ...Maan obviously paid a heavy cost for enjoying life to the fullest ...and his inability to smile (before Geet entered his life) was more of a physical evidence of his unwillingness to accept joy, happiness and the sheer pleasure that life could be ...

(Btw ... I really liked Geet's hand gesture here ... she touched Maan's reflection ... it was as if she was trying to reach out to him and lessen his pain 😍)

The childhood incident about falling from a bicycle ...again it went at a deeper level ...the cycle was more of a reminder to him ... that he must never ever allow himself to fall ... to fail .. to appear weak ...

So the questions here arise ... is Geet now being relegated to the same status (and associated meanings/memories) as a cycle?Maan clearly stated here that he is now where he could stay away from Geet ... so is hegoing to stay away from Geet who reminds him of his weakness and foolhardiness (in his eyes) of opening his heart? And is he trying to keep Geet in that corner of his mind where she doesn't effect him?

Geet's point of view is in contrast with Maan here ...in spite of all that she has been through ... she is optimistic... and very willing to go down dark alleys and unknown paths .. she is not afraid of falling or failing ... This difference in approach to life was brought out very well (ceetiyan for Nissar😆👏) Can we hope for Geet to change Maan when/if they get together? Fingers crossed 😃

Who Let the Dogs Out?

Woof Woof Woof Woof

🤣🤣🤣 Sorry but I couldn't resist it 🤣🤣🤣

So NT sees Geet and she again blasts Dev 😆 FinalltyDev stood up to her👍🏼 (or at least he tried 🤣🤣)

"Knock Knock.

Whose there?

Your brains.

Shut it."

Yeh I ve put my brains aside for now 😆 I m not going to go in to the method used to make Geet stay in that hall or why NT didn't just made him look over the banisters ... The main things that came out of this scene were; Dev nearing his breaking point, Dev thinking NT has lost it 🤣 and NT thinking that she has lost it 🤣🤣

Precap: Maan telling that she is free to go now ... so Geet is getting exactly what she thinks she wants ... and Maan thinks he is going to get exactly what he wants ... I m resting my hopes on Pari here 😆

Phew .. Done ... sorry once again for the long delay

NOTE III: Guys pls refrain from quoting so many times..Some of our members request for it and i think it'll be better as well..😛 Try makin use of the "@" format while answering..coz it makes the thread easier to read for the late comers....and plus it would be neater..Also instead of quoting the whole post of someone else...just pick out the lines...😳...Thank you..😊

Precap - i shall reserve my take on it....

All in all the episode was brilliant'. Nissar, CVs, Drashti, Gurmeet please take a bow'. 👏👏👏👏👏

The script, dialogues, lights, direction, acting, voice modulation everything amazing' I liked the BG too' but the BG for Dev-NT.. not very nice' please do something bout the volume of the BG'. Please tone it down a bit.,..

Phew am I done??? Yes yes'. 😃

Before starting my analysis...would just like to say that there is a huge difference between falling in someone's love and rising in someone's love...both Maan and Geet earlier had fallen in love with Sameera and Dev respectively..but right now both r Rising in each other's love😳...both had a trumatic past where they faced betrayal and deceit ...and now both r trying to connect those strings of past to their present and during this process discovering each other...In the disco Episode, Maan was discovering the new jealous side of Geet and today in this episode Geet is discovering the new smiling side of the otherwise khadoos Maan😛....what they still could not discover is the mysterious haunting past that is surrounding both their lives and once they discover this aspect,their final phase of sumission and ultimate confession will begin😳

Talking about phases...I always believed that when u r in love,u go through four phases to make your relationship divine and eternal..here r those phases..

1st Phase:Fantasy-Maneet hv passed it already

2nd Phase:Physical attraction and Desire:This phase too is passed by Maneet

3rd Phase:Emotional bonding...discovering each other and understanding:Right now Maneet r in this important phase..its in process😛

4th Phase:Submission and Ultimate confession:Maneet will enter this phase once they complete the third phase of discovering each other😳

So now if we watch this episode after taking into account the above mentioned phases of love..it will make perfect sense😳

The opening scene of today's episode where Maan makes his stand clear by telling Pari that its better not to go in such place where its difficult for me to tolerate someone's presence and so he would prefer leaving alone ..clearly indicates that Maan once again wants to close the doors of his heart which last night he had thought of opening again😭..Many raised this question...is it back to square one ??😆..I will say no because in this scene we can clearly see the way Maan was trying to avoid Geet's rejection last night with his sarcastic replies😆;He was trying his level best to show that even he is not affected😛..and when someone like MSK is trying hard to prove something,one has take a blind guess that he is the most affected person right now😭😳 ....and when Geet comes behind Maan to tell him about the lipstick mark,once agian he tries to prove Geet that he was drunk and so he doesn't really remember whatever happened last night neither he thinks its all important😉...wowww did we ever see Maan giving such justifications about his conduct to anyone till now ??😲😛...But he is giving those justifications to Geet now😳..this itself proves that things r not back to square one and r progressing ahead towards the discovery phase😳;Maan is trying hard to act all professional with Geet not because he wants to stay away from her but because he feels that his presence will hurt Geet more and he cannot see tears in her eyes😳;Thats the different between old Maan ignoring Geet and this new Maan trying to ignore Geet😳

Ok now Dev seeing the lipstick mark on Maan's face was like a blessing in disguise for us because in the future he will definitely know whats Geet been doing for last 2months sinse he is always curious about it😉🤣....Again we see Maan trying to give justification here to Dev about the lipstick-mark😆...thats the side effect of being in love...keep on giving justification for your madness😉😆...Now both the Khurana brothers hv complicated woman in their lives🤣🤣🤣...I can already see two future Dev Ds here🤣🤣🤣...ok jokes apart ...the fact that Maan indirectly admits that Geet is complicated is a clear indication that in the future Maan himself will try to discover the hidden secrets in Geet's life😳;And Dev mayb thinking NT is not only complicated but a mental case as well..so no chance of any discovery there🤣🤣..even Discovery channel will fail to discover whats going on in NT's disfunctional brain🤣...

One word of advice to Gurmeet..plss hv some healthy food dear..u hv lost lots of weight😭😳..but still u looked very hot and yummy in that black Vest☺️...phew Jyoti is CONfused here😳😆...ok lets proceed😡😆

I loved the Maan's bedroom scene and his self-talk👍🏼..the way he wipes-off that lipsstick mark from his face showed his inner pain and hidden emotions for Geet for the first time😭..it was difficult and almost impossible for him to actually wipe-off Geet's memories forever but he was still doing so just because he cannot see Geet in tears 😭..earlier the situation was different..he wanted to stay away from Geet because he was himself afraid of opening the doors of his heart again..but today he wants to stay away from her so that she doesn't go through any pain because of his presense around her😭..but once Maan discovers that his presense is not bothering her but its her traumatic past which is haunting her,then we might get to see a determined Maan all set to conquer the world of his ladylove Geet with full passion,intensity and determination👍🏼...

Ok so Maan wants to put that Taveez behind in the dark room which is connecting him to his dark past...but the question is can he do so ??🤔..they hv not yet shown whether Maan actually puts the taveez in that room or not😛😉...And that Taveez is actually the real connection between Maneet..so even if it goes inside that store room..I m rest assured that it will hv the magical wings to fly out of that room and straightaway fall on Maan's head or neck or any part of his hot body🤣..sorry me doing more comedy today😕...Jyoti get serious😡😆..anyways all Taveez lovers..chill...Taveez will b back with a bang soon connecting the two love birds😎😛

Ok now comes our sweet little Pari madam from Pariland😆..finally she had some Mentos..so dimaag ki batti jal gayee🤣..She could sense that there is some Gadbaration in the corportation in Maneet world...mayb she got some telepathy from Maneetlok where we all were on a Pari cursing spree🤣..so Pari madam thinks of getting into some real action now and starts acting sensibly..Finally the Cupid's Aatma enters her body and she starts her love-game with Geet😛..I m loving it😳...Jyoti stop doing nonsense comedy now😡...😕😆..sorrry was just watching Tarak Mehta ka ooltaa chashma..and so was in comedy mode😆😆..getting serious now

Like Doodle mentioned the entire scene where Pari plays this rapid-fire game with Geet and she connects each and every word like rose,rains,dance ,candlelight dinner with Maan itself is a wonderful symbolic scene here👏..earlier whenever she used to think of rains or pasta ,she used to get Dev's picture in her mind but now she she has removed that picture from her subconscious mind forever and its been replaced by Maan's picture now😳..So this proves that even if Geet wants to stay away from Maan,she cannot really remove him from her thoughts😳..same happened with Maan too when he was on a mission to stay away from Geet but he was unable to remove her from his thoughts😳...Geet too is going through that same phase now😉...so the moral of the story is ..when two people r in love..they both go through similar realisation and emotional bonding process and this is what makes their future relationship stronger to withstand any hurdles or obstacles thats coming their way😊

About Dev-NT donkey ride...Should I say anything today😆..Dev thinks NT has gone mental and NT thinks Dev has become bewafa...thats it😆😆...Jyoti thinks she sholud soon book two free passes for DevTara in Agra's mental hospital😆..on a more serious note...CVs r doing this very intelligently here👏..they r trying to show that if someone commits a sin...then destiny itself punishes the culprit...Dev commited a sin by not only betraying Geet but also cheating on his wife..and today he is getting regular emotional atyaachar doses from his wife😛😆😆

Now comes the most cruicial scene of today's episode..the store room scene where for the first time we get a slight glimpse of Maan's hidden dark past..wonderful direction and camerawork here..some beautiful dialogues as well👏👏...We get to see two reflections of Maan's character here..one reflection is a happy one..that is the photo which Geet sees and discovers that the guy has got a very pure smile😳..and another reflection is the present Maan who feels that its better not to smile at all rather than going through the pain and then shedding tears of sorrow😭..but we can clearly see that when Geet touches the smiling Maan's photo,the present Maan moves away from there and photo becomes more clear which is a clear indication that Geet is soon going to bring that smile back on his face😳;Geet is the choosen one by the Almighty who has been given this tough task of transforming our Prabhu Shri Ram ..I mean our MSK😆 into a happy man again😳;

The best dialogue of the day was undoubtedly the cycle wala dialogue where Maan says how he fell off from that cycle for the first time in his life and so he hates that cycle because he hates falling😉..this clearly proved my early analysis right where I said that Maan might hv fallen for Sameera ..but he is going to rise in Geet's love😳..and thats what Geet says.."unless u fall in life..how will u learn to rise up"👏😳...Maan might hv fallen many times in life..Sameera is not the only case here..I can see the pain in his words which clearly indicates not just Sameera but he was betrayed by many people in his life which mayb including even his own parents😭..because the way he was talking about his childhood cycle...it seems he had a troulbed childhood as well..mayb his mother left him...he started hating women then..but Dadi showed him the right path..he started living again..then Sameera came in his life..betrayed him the same way his mother betrayed...so that was the end of his happiness..he closed his heart's door forever not letting any woman to enter into his heart after what his mother or Sameera hv done to him...but history repeats itself and Geet manages to gatecrash into his heart again😛..but last night once again he faces disappointment when Geet asks him to stay away from him..once again he gets rejection..so once again he goes back to his dark brooding world😭..but is this the end??..Answer is No...this is just the beginning because behind every darkness,there is a bright day waiting for u with open arms😳...All this was just my prediction but I would love the CVs to follow this route when they will explore Maan's past in detail..😳...and good tosee Geet promoting Star one horror nights here in the form of that haunted looking store room😛

Also those Doves inside the dark store room looked very symbolic to me...Doves r a symbol of purity..and with Maneet inside that dark room with those doves flying around like a ray of hope in their life itself proves that their love is divine,pure and eternal😳..and lets not forget Geet is the first person to follow Maan inside that dark room after Dadima mayb which is again an indication that she will b the one who will bring Maan out of that darkness into the new era of bright sunlight😳...So when I look into this scene from these symbolic POVs...instead of feeling sad I m feeling happy about the entire episode as I can see lots of positivity happening today😛

About the precap...I think its misleading..so will not talk about it today😆😛

My overall rating for today's episode..9.5/10.. for perfect direction..amazing camerawork...superb dialogues..wonderful acting...grt vision and presentation of the scenes..some good background score and lightings👏..story moving forward logically👍🏼..I would hv given it a perfect 10 but somewhere I m still not totally convinced with Pari's character here...otherwise it was a FLAWLESS Episode😳

Before starting my analysis...would just like to say that there is a huge difference between falling in someone's love and rising in someone's love...both Maan and Geet earlier had fallen in love with Sameera and Dev respectively..but right now both r Rising in each other's love😳...both had a trumatic past where they faced betrayal and deceit ...and now both r trying to connect those strings of past to their present and during this process discovering each other...In the disco Episode, Maan was discovering the new jealous side of Geet and today in this episode Geet is discovering the new smiling side of the otherwise khadoos Maan😛....what they still could not discover is the mysterious haunting past that is surrounding both their lives and once they discover this aspect,their final phase of sumission and ultimate confession will begin😳
