Trying to recover from the phaaassst episode, will try to make some sense before penning down anything!! Pheww!!!
Ok I will try to keep it short today!! The episode to me looked like a storm just blew by with so many things happening all at once. By the time I tried to register the episode got over!! Yeah call me slow! 😃 I really wanted to ask the CV's why this rush, why the sudden urge to hurry up the story, I am having problems with the pace nowadays, the pace of story telling. So kindly please take a deep breath & slow down. HP over in 4 days!!
Ok with that over I will get to the episode. Geet's juvenile methods finally worked & Rasika came down from her high horse & finally assented to let go of the case! Well good for all of us! But what was it all about? She kept on giving threats of putting MSK behind bars & for what, because he cancelled a deal?? Doesn't deal fall through day in & day out? Do all the people land up in prison?
Anyway the following scene I liked because I saw Maan acting just like himself. I remembered Dadi's explanation to NT, the difference between 2 brothers. Where Dev is an escapist from any difficult situation Maan on the other hand face them boldfacedly & accept the challenges as they come. He did just that today, went straight ahead to meet the angry mob & cooled them down! Good character consistency there! I know the CV's will be raising their eyes in boredom when they will read about character consistency from me but what to do, its extremely important to me in any work of fiction.
So Maan already is performing all the duties of a doting husband! Another vow here signified, he wanted to make Geet happy & thus brought a part of her happiness to her because she can't go to achieve her share of glory!
The sibling scene was very touching, at least the younger generation feels what the older generation very conveniently has forsaken. I am surprised how come parents have simply given up on their kids so much so that they don't even think about her!! How can that be?? But loved the bonding the young generation shares & Maan's happy look to see Geet so glad & emotional. What I liked here was how he understood what Geet was trying to ask when she looked up at him & he gently said no one else is here. Their eyes r conversing now! 😍
Next segment, well, it will be difficult to digest & understand that why now she is offering & asking for his friendship when all of us feel this stage is long past over! To justify I will here think from Geet's point of view because looking at Maan he is definitely long past that stage! The way he paused & looked at her with that smirk said a lot! 😆 Must be wondering he got a nice naive slow girl who will take centuries to reach to his 'baba Adam ka zamane ka soch aur kartoot'! 😆 Ok jokes apart, from Geet's side I know where she was coming from. She is after all a village girl & her thinking will be related to basic feelings & emotions. She handled Rasika in her own inane way showing she is not like a city bred girl like Pari who had an unique way to find out about their love for each other. And in this instance I will say CV's u stuck to basic character consistency. She was grateful to Maan for all he did with Rajji & Tito & what more can she offer to him other than her friendship, a part of her!! So from this angle I think she was ok. She felt cribbing with him all the time makes her restless & so its high time she makes peace with him & thus this offering of an olive branch!
2ndly also I think the CV's r telling us the importance of true friendship here in any relationship. Am I right Nissar?? Even between the audience & the creatives a friendship can exist where one shows something & the audience is supposed to understand & pick it up intelligently! They r trying to convey friendship is something very strong & doesn't fade away just like that & in a friendship one is open & free to say or do or to confide & understand which not necessarily is in every relationship be it parents & kids, Husband & wife, between siblings & in any other relationship we can think of. So maybe they r basing Geet & Maan's relationship on friendship now so that tomorrow when the time comes Geet can freely tell Maan about her past without any inhibition & Maan will also accept her as she is without making any judgement. So this friendship today was the foundation stone of tomorrow! Hope I am right here Nissar!
But I will say the dialogs were a little cliche! And I loved Maan's attitude in this right from the beginning to end. He completely gave the right over to Geet to call the shots. He didn't want to push her into anything, he let her have the comfort to call him her friend & openly accepted her decision & suggestion. He is slowly backing off giving her that space & freedom & not overpower her by encroaching in her personal space that we were witnessing all these months. He is letting her to make the call to come to his life instead of pursuing her himself like he did earlier. And also he wanted her to be happy after the emotional turmoil she faced in the last 2 days. His care & love remains intact & he is now the changed mellowed MSK who is thinking about his actions & reactions, curbing his temper, controlling his taunts & remarks. And he is trying this consciously so that Geet becomes more comfortable with him. All said & done I don't want MSK to change even in love! I love & adore him for the way he is, arrogant, aggressive, ruthless, proud, stubborn & bold & even in love I want to see him with these qualities! Yeah crazy me I know!! 😆
Next segment was a little juvenile, bickering over nothing! And then Geet's comfort level has grown so much with Maan around. It was a nice touch there showing how she pulls him by the hand without a second thought to take him inside that forsaken house or ruins. She didn't feel odd to hold & bring him in like that. "Chhote sahar ka soch' was not there then! 😃 Both r growing in their relationship, that is what is portrayed here.
Again their small squabble not much of value went on! And this time Geet helped Maan for a change to come up, a symbolism Maan is all the time rising in love! All his life he led a solitary life taking care of himself but today he has someone to share his life with & in this he is achieviing a higher level peace, satisfaction & happiness.
The last segment totally filmy & a little over the top for me! I fail to understand why were the villagers against Geet? She didn't do anything to them, then why?? So these people were Brij's friend who were all willing to avenge Geet for what she did to Brij?? Again if this is so, wow, what a friend Brij must be to inspire this feel in his friends!! Amazing 'dostana' I would say! 😃
And Maan's frantic search for Geet & how he slowly gets worried from being mad was good to watch. And he knows every little aspect of Geet be it her nature, personality, mood, jewelry, dress ......everything!! He knew her anklet, her earring & obviously her dupatta.......after all its the only possession of Geet that loves to entangle itself on Maan! 😆
Ok so tomorrow will wait for some MSK type of action back in the ground of HP!! And Guru again looking very tired & exhausted all throughout! He needs sleep, rest & food, big time!
To me this episode was not out of the ordinary or anything but an ok episode with a new phase built in their relation which is making it all the more stronger!
Ok done, Doodle shoot away! Will go & read ur take now!! And I know it will be awesome like everyday! And I am really thankful to have u as a good friend guiding me with others day in & day out with ur explanations, hints & suggestions, here offering my hand in frienship!! Shake it pal!! 😃
