Posted my analysis on Pg - 2, am posting it here for u all!
Ok I am wondering what & how should I pen down about today's episode!! There were lots of light moments today & some were kind of surprising moments & the rest pondering moments....'hmmmm' types!
By now we r so well attuned to the show that we immediately can make out a difference be it in the story, script, acting or direction!! I just have a hunch that many parts in the episode today was not directed by Nissar, I felt his absence as far as the handling & treatment is concerned! That intensity was not there in many parts. Ok more later.
Well after an intense & significant night Geet was all very cheerful & chatty! I mean she is bubbly in nature but last 2 days she was shown serious with the turn of events & today after one night she seemed very casual & off hand! I mean I thought it would be more of pondering on 'what will happen now, how should I behave & react to Maan, what is the future holding for me, how long do I have to carry on this charade, how can I control my feelings for Maan when he is around me......', now these would have been more logical questions which I expected her to pose to 'babaji' instead of the casual 'how 1 evening has changed everything & its a fake engagement & what r u doing with my life babaji' talks!! Here it should have been more soul searching serious self talks instead of this light banter! Then it would have looked like the story is continuing from the previous evening with all the significant events & turns that took place!
But what I liked here was after posing that question to 'babaji' & taking out the 'Taveez' & seeing it & thinking of the flashbacks she gets a call from Maan. This again shows that 'babaji' is indicating that her life is with Maan only, wherever & whenever he will go she will be there with him. Nice significance here. Whenever the 'Taveez' is in sight there is Maan related some occurrence, either he appears in person or calls or makes his presence known somehow! Very nice link to show the 'Taveez' always shows her the way that leads only & only to Maan.
Definitely loved the light moment between Maan & her when she was fumbling to call him Maan or Sir! 😃 And her disconnecting the phone with a sigh because MSK wouldn't be coming to the outhouse! She is so affected by him! 😉 😆 And MSK too for a second lost his voice after hearing her 'hello'! Aag dono tadaf barabar lagi hai!! 😆 And it looked like he was looking for an excuse to see her & thus suddenly remembered about the files. 😉 Looked pretty real to me, couple in love do behave like this & wait for excuses to see & meet each other. And his calling her 2nd time & telling her that once the talk is over then only u disconnect a phone was so MSK like, so definitely liked that! 😃 And the most funny part how he himself disconnects the phone abruptly getting exasperated with her 'sir'! This too was very much like MSK, he won't tell her shakily or sweetly don't call me 'sir' but call me Maan but we expected he will tell her exactly like this with an authority & audacity. This shows consistency in character.
And the next moment we see how their self talks r tied up together. What Geet was saying Maan was also thinking it loud & vice versa. Here only 1 thing I felt was Maan always had self talks but it was in monologue format but here he talks out loud like Geet does. Did she rub her influence on him?? 😃 And he wants her to call Maan & yet doesn't know how to tell her!! MSK u r so gone now!! And that 'order.........aur Geet Handa, woh toh kabhi nahi sun ne wali' was very good followed by that smile!! Almost a proud smile at that thinking she has the audacity to even defy him!! Oh he knows her so well by now, knows when she will goof up & when she will retaliate & when she will trip, when she will get jittery & hyperventilate with his proximity......everything, good going MSK! 😆
Again Geet walking to the office imagining that welcome indicates she wanted that kind of reception or simply wary of what people will talk if they comes to know! I will think the latter as she always was affected by what people will say or react! And maybe the CV's wanted to bring some light moments after the last few days of serious episodes. So will let it go.
The next scene I simply adored! Ok 1stly about the cliched 'suniye', though I had a hearty laugh every time I heard that but CV's r u all seriously planning to make Geet address Maan like that?? I mean it does look like 18th or 19th century to me! 😆 Next will be what 'o ji, ae ji, suniye ji'?? 😆 Oh pls she is a modern girl & is slowly coming out of her shell of HP so give her an attitude & mental makeover as well. But nevertheless from the humor angle it was bang on!!
Now y'day itself I was talking to my friend & was telling her that MSK is someone who is arrogant, aggressive, stubborn, proud, egoistic & never ever listens to anybody but expects the world to be at his beck & call but the day he will marry Geet or make her his own in full sense his attitude will change big time with Geet & that is exactly what we saw today. He will be attentive, doting, understanding & full of patience as far as she is concerned. Y'day we had a glimpse of it when Geet was signalling him to put her down & he goes 'hmmm' & today too his attention to what Geet was saying was so doting husband type!! 😃 Her 'suniye' & his 'hmmm bolo' was so alluring, almost dreammyyy!! 😃 He was protective about her & she so compassionate.....the entire interaction was so homely! It was like I am watching a husband & wife interaction who is married for quite some time & knows exactly what the other wants! It was entertaining to watch that scene. And in the end he was Maan again taking the file from her forcefully & then after being disturbed again had that exasperated look saying 'yes' to her of query of coffee! And another thing Gurmeet is such a pro now in changing his expressions with his eyes all the time, from anger to surprise to love to passion to intensity, every time he does it flawlessly! So 👏👏👏 kudos for that!
And the next segment, well, we got our MSK bang on!! No going round the bushes, no wavering the topic but just declare openly the fact that Geet is his fiancee & move on with it. For that declaration so openly in the public I will applaud him! He doesn't give 2 hoots what others will say or talk about them but just shut them up with the bare truth & that 'don't care & no nonsense attitude'! This is the MSK we all love & admire! 😍 Reminded of the conference room incident after which he didn't care what others spoke about them & even taught Geet to ignore them. I love character consistency & every time I see it I feel good. And Barry Dhillon again I salute u for that dialog 'main ek kaam karta hoon, office band kar deta hoon aur yehan khade khade mooh dikhai ka rasam poora kar lete hai'! 😆 Again a total MSK dialog!!
The next scene gave me joy & also an apprehension about future. I really laughed heartily at the entire husband- wife type interaction. When they were together MSK was bang on MSK, angry at the way she was dealing with the office staff, about how she has problems in whatever he does, stopping her from saying sorry to Rasika........in all that I could see our MSK! And enjoyed their little banter as well. Geet's ''aur kya chahungi, chaand sitare...' was also humorous! Overall the scene was very entertaining! And I was startled to see that reaction from Maan when Tasha entered, didn't expect that for a single moment. And the funny part was when Geet was totally perplexed at his reaction how he slowly holds her head & turns it around towards Tasha to show why he did what he did! 😆 I had a hearty laugh there. His holding her & trying to give that drooly eyed expression at Tasha to make her believe about their relationship was all very comical! And yet while telling Tasha to go he had that stern 'do not disturb' look back again. Gurmeet again u did a very good job, with that back & forth expression! And immediately after Tasha left they bolted apart with his furious query 'tum kya kahi rahi thi?' was fabulous! And Geet's total uncomfortable 'blown away, swept off the ground, unable to look straight' reaction was also commendable! The way she left the room immediately was more than amusing & priceless!! 😆 For the comic factor this scene deserves 10 on 10!
But my problem lied elsewhere. As I said many many times before character consistency is a big factor for me! And I never expected The MSK will react this way to show his mere employee he is in love!! I can imagine Maan barking at Tasha for entering his cabin without knocking, lacking in manners & then reprimanding her but wilfully acting like 'awed, star struck in love' is not MSK, atleast to me! That is where my problem lied. I mean no matter how much love sick he is he has to act like MSK & doesn't have to put on some act to make-believe his employees. So my ardent request to u CV's whatever u do pls keep MSK the way he is, let him be in love in his MSK style & we will, like always, be happy & ecstatic. Though I enjoyed the scene to the hilt seeing Maan taking an opportunity to be near Geet but still I would like him to react staying in his character.
But in this entire scene the underlying emotion of love shone very brightly. He is willing to go to any length only for her, he doesn't care if he is sued or send to jail, he will not accept any apology on Geet's behalf to Rasika, come hell or high water he is there for her & doesn't batter his lids about the consequence was so praiseworthy! MSK today u scored big time on this regard like always. His love speaks volumes in his actions. 👏😍 Here MSK's character was totally relatable!
The last part about how Geet lands up in HP looks a little rushed to me. I mean one phone call from Rasika Rathod & all her confidence in Maan fades away & without informing anyone she leaves, looks like a hurried job to parcel her off to HP. I thought the CV's could have done a better job today as far as the pace of story telling is concerned. It looked too sudden & somewhere didn't fit in well with the storyline. I know she got unnerved the moment she heard Maan might land up in jail but then what is this sudden plan of action she has in mind to save Maan? She thinks just by apologising to Rasika Rathod she will be happy & will take back the case? There was total lack of logical insight in this segment & that is what bothered me.
And did Geet inform Adi & Pinky that she is leaving for HP? How did they know? And here she didn't even leave a note for Maan informing him about her departure? And Maan suddenly says he is looking for her & calling her but we don't see anything of this sort. And he hears it from Adi & Tasha & yet he reaches HP even before Geet does! So as I said a link of rationality was amiss here & it was speeded up too fast to make them arrive in HP by Monday. Why this sudden impetuosity to move the story to HP, it could have been done on Tuesday also, right?? Today I expected a more sane logical episode where both would have been shown doing some self analysis & a plan of action to behave with & around each other. But other than this the episode seems to be fine & we had some wonderful light moments which definitely lifted our spirit in joy!
Hope to see some unbeatable episodes next week. But it was good to see that HP MSK all over again in that attire! Hope the jeep will be back too!
Oh another request to the CV's like I always do pls take this phase of love slowly, I do not want to see a rush & hush up job. I would like to cherish every moment of Geet & Maan's scenes.
2ndly every time I watch Geet's title track I keep wondering why is Dev there & not a single scene of Maan? After all Maan is the main lead & its high time the CV's reshoot the title song. So if u r reading this pls do something about it.
Overall an entertaining episode today!
