this is what i made out after the last few episodes ...
the story has really slowed down ... yes yes there have been moments and the there is plot .. but the story has actually stagnated and this i attribute not to the on screen story but to the off screen happenings, i have a feeling the makers are trying to create a bank to accommodate for Gurmeet's absence if he is already not here.... either ways at times the episodes look like fillers ...
this doesn't in anyway mean i don like what i see, i certainly love every episode being a hardcore fan of the show .. but there is a part inside me, that expects perfection and that inside says ... these guys are not on the mark of perfection at the moment ...
why i say this ...
the focus is on the office, which i am happy about, but, why they have this is backdrop is problematic ... those scenes look like flimsy fillers between any two intense Maaneet moments ... Sasha and Tasha could be jealous of Geet but they are just shown giving her cold stares... i dont want them to sceme and plot, but they can do other things to make Geet feel odd .. the way they earlier did .. remember the scoring sequence ???
the ring scene yesterday was over before i could feel the impact ... where was Geet involved... people were merely passing it on ... the seriousness of the scene would have been more highlighted if Geet was seen fighting for it .. but being helpless, in the process when Maan walks in he gets pissed... and then she defends herself .. the punch was missing ....
going a little peeche i loved the way he slid the ring into her finger the previous night ..he had totally taken her in .. with his words, his gestures and she had no other option but to give in ... the comparison of their relationship with the moon and the sky was the highlight of the episode ... and her after thoughts also were awesome .. it showed the apprehension of a young girl, as she tries to make sure that the guy she likes likes her too ...
the soft tender moment, where he tells her he doesnt want to fight with her anymore, also indicated how close he wanted to be with her, and how he wanted to remove all the bitterness between one another ... she complied at some level she wanted it too ...
the most striking feature of yesterday's episode was however the fact that ... unlike other shows, or other stories, where the couple in love plunge into a relationship and then discover the bad sides of the other and then misunderstandings crop up ... here we have a story .. where both of them, are not only trying to understand one another, accept each other the way they are ...
dadi telling Maan, he might want to lead an aesthetic life, but him now having to think of Geet, and Maan actually giving it a thought ...
Maan telling Geet that she should leave some things to destiny and not try and gamble with it ...
Geet exercising authority over Maan- the way she pulled the file while he was trying to avoid eye contact and then the way he was fiddling with the mobile and she tries telling him how he cant run away from issues either showed how both of them now not only try to make one another better.. is what appealed to me ..
Mr. Demello's entry .. well.. i have mixed feelings .. well yeah, they are to play cupid .. par .. why the hell do they need so many cupids ... i mean, its no longer about external factors playing .. i now think, their relationship has crossed a stage where there needs to be self realisation... all these third parties coming only reminds me of a series of patients coming into Sanjeevani to make Armaan and Riddhima realise their love for one another ... and this relationship acc to me, is a mature one, that needs each other more than outsiders ...
and whats with this new twist ? NT is running away? this one actually turned out to be a damp squib after all the expectations we had .. she takes MSK's threat so seriously she decides to run away from the scene ... while i am relieved... i am also disappointed ... but i guess, its a little different from the usual.. she turned out to be an escapist after all... i now feel bad for Dev!! what was he married into??? how many of you think she will be back? or do we add her to the list of actors on Star one who were promised a meaty role and ended up being another extra to the plot and the actor has opted a way out ????
phew! those were loads of thoughts at one time ... thats why i hate piling it all up .. i end up getting overly critical .. and stop enjoying the "in the moment" joy aspect of the show ...
your thoughts and reactions obviously are welcome ... thrash me ... correct me .. agree with me ...
its over to you now ... i am in mood for some serious phoruming !! i may not reply right away .. cos am at work.. par m reading ... " i am always watching child ! 😉"
love,
