Nissar & CV's what can I say today?? U all left me speechless!! If y'day I had problem with continuity then today u shushed me up! What a perfect episode with logic, reasoning, pace, execution & last but not the least acting!! DD & GC u two were fabulous, fantastic & fascinating, specially GC! It was overall outstanding!
The first scene itself gave us the essence of the show today, their mutual love, respect, regard, esteem, concern for each other flowed to the beam. Her waiting eagerly for him because he has asked him to meet her there & yet she in spite of not wanting to come came there because he asked her to! Just because he thinks himself as the Lord u can't defy him Geet or rather Geet u look up to him as ur God, which is it? 😃 To me it looks like u were waiting to offer ur prayers & worship to ur God patiently! 😆
And Nissar as I wrote earlier u r the King of Symbolism, u gave that 'muh dikhayi' rasam today in that fountain scene! That was beautiful! Reflections of both their faces together in midst of flowers, very nice!! Only if u could make the water a little tinted in red through some lights it would have made the symbolism absolutely perfect. I knew & wrote about this ritual but forgot the name of it, luckily my friend Purvi reminded me of it. Thanks Purvi!
I liked the humor angle as well in this scene!! DD is amazing in comedy, her dialog delivery & timing is perfect all the time. Will u talk or stand like a statue?? Because u consider urself to be a god! That was hilarious! 😆 Poor guy gets tongue tied listening to her & then gets lost how to react or respond!! 😃
I liked the way he started the conversation about why he himself never asked for help from anyone because asking for help often brings out one's weakness & he never wants that to happen even to her. And her immediate reaction to leave thinking he is again trying to rub salt to her ego by emphasising he has helped her all throughout! And then that signature pull of MSK!! 😍 Oh dreammy! :-) That splashing of water a spontaneous reaction of Geet & immediately she gets concerned about his reaction! The way she gets jittery & gets up slowly walking away with that regretful expression was awesome!! By the way the bride & groom dip their hands in that red liquid to hunt for rings & put it on each other, was that implied here? Well maybe not!!
And the next moment is my 'oohhh lala' moment when he deliberately takes her dupatta to wipe his face off with authority, confidence & command!! As if its a carte blanche for him to take her dupatta whenever he wants & do whatever he feels like with it!! 😆 Now now girls no askew glances at me! 😆 I mean look at the way he wipes his face so comfortably closing his eyes, rubbing it over his cheeks from one end to another but he does it all gently. He keeps looking at her angrily when she splashes the water & then taking the dupatta deliberately keeps looking at her while wiping the water & then closes his eyes feeling her dupatta on his face! Get my drift!!? 😆 I simply loved that gesture! His message was loud & clear when he did that! 😃 It was this same dress in the conference room when they got locked. Then he didn't have the right to hold her dupatta but he did anyway but now he has the right! Nissar another brilliant touch. 👏
And then the reference to water as their binding agent!! Nissar u gave us 2 fbs there but shouldn't there be at least 5? There was rain on their 'grihapravesh' day when she agreed to act as his fiancee. Her offering her friendship in HP when it was raining followed by his declaration & 'ghar lauten'. And last week after Geet's frantic running behind his car she was going to faint & MSK brings her home. Yes so true water in any form has connected them all the time. Coming from an intense guy it really feels good to know he realises & remembers all this.
And a moment later what a transformation in Maan when he brought that hesitation in his voice & expression when he started probing Geet about her past. Today GC stole the show!! His every expressions was mind blowing!! How he was looking for words to talk to her, that hesitancy clearly showed. Then his asking to wait every time she wanted to leave, wanting her company & to find out more. I loved that! And Geet's discomfort increasing with his uneasiness. Both r awkward about it & yet they had to start rolling the dice sometime ! And Maan once he decides on something doesn't let it go unless he achieves it. So he had to put forward the question to Geet that was eating him up from within.
I liked the way he started! He let go of his pride & arrogance & asked for her help to find out about her ominous past. And those forced interventions about Manali trip also looked fitting for the occasion. His every attempt to stop her was amazing!! Loved that 'suno toh' from him, very husband like!! 😃 And the moment he caught hold of her came in front of her & started asking about the culprit I was amazed to see the change in his expression. How his eyes hardened to glints & he had that determination in his eyes to make that guy pay for what he did to her! And the promise he made to her to find him wherever he is!! 'Aur yeh mera vaada hai Geet', WOW! It was MSK again to the core! That expression GC will take u places in ur life!! Superb, splendid!! And this 'bolo Geet' had a different intensity, his determination & steadfast resolution to give her justice was primarily being portrayed here.
And immediately when Geet asked him whether if he is affected by her past, how his expressions again changed to show his concern that he doesn't care about her past but only about her happiness!! The worry for her reflected immediately in his face!! And then his 'bolo na' was to die for as usual.
Here many said Geet should have said the truth to him! But I understand where she is coming from. To us we r watching from a 3rd angle perspective & to us it seems she should have revealed everything. But Geet is primarily in love & often Love changes one's perspective, She saw Maan was disturbed about this fact & he was debating withing himself to ask or not about Dev. MSK who never pondered before to ask anything was debating the whole night whether to question her about the person who is to be blamed for everything! Whether she wants him to be punished or not, whether she wants justice or not!! And for this he had to go the round about way to ask Geet so that she doesn't feel bad about this. Simply out of love & respect for him she opted not to tell him! Knowing MSK he will live, breathe & work only with one agenda in life & that is to penalize the person who is responsible for Geet's current condition. Why spoil his happiness on her behalf? Moreover she doesn't have much to tell about Dev other than the number she has got so what could she say? And the most important factor is she considers finding Dev her own battle which she has to fight herself & I kind of agree with her. If I love someone dearly why would I want to see him suffer on my behalf? I will do something to protect & save him from all possible harm, danger or even a mild scratch, then why would I want him to go through that unhappiness on my behalf??!! Exactly she felt like this today. Her stand was thus clear to me.
And Maan, his respect & concern for her was the primary most factor that came across to me today. He regards her so highly in his life! Even her little concern or a big plight becomes his own war & finally when she owned that she is over her past & is looking forward to her new phase in life the contentment reflected on his face was priceless. His smile came from his heart & touched his eyes seeing her happily pondering about the future they hold together forgetting about her turbulent past. And if he loves her then obviously he wouldn't want to disrupt her happiness, he would honor her choice, would respect her decision! So I didn't find anything wrong in Maan's decision to just let it be!! If he had seen or known that Geet still harbours bad vibes about Dev & her past life then I can guarantee he wouldn't have sat still for a moment. We will see tomorrow how he gets the urge to find out more if he feels there is more to Geet's refusal than merely to put up a brave happy face in front to him!
And I wanted this all along, for Maan to find out everything on his own about Dev & bringing justice to Geet by punishing Dev for the heinous crime. I wanted the onus to be on him & that is what we will see now! I am really happy to see this, thank u CV's!! 😃 We will see the depth & seriousness of Maan's love now, how much he respects & regards her honor & character & to what extent he can go to bring justice to her. He will even go to the extent of concealing from Geet that he is looking for Dev so that she doesn't get tensed about all this. And on the other hand Geet will be concealing from him that she wants to pursue Dev on her own!! We will see two lovers doing their level best to keep the other out of all their personal troubles & plights! Essence of true love, even willing to sacrifice if necessary for the other! Well we always know Love & Sacrifice goes hand in hand, they r 2 sides of the same coin.
Dev & Meera segment was serious today & he is willing to be castigated & scourged for all his past misdeeds! And what is noticeable is he is not blaming NT here, he is willing to face it all himself. CV's u r turning him into a noble man indeed! U all r showing he needed that positive influence in his life to turn around. Hmmmm!! Maybe u r thinking of atoning him after all but just make sure his path of redemption is not very smooth, he really has to repent & burn to turn out into a 24 karat gold or else he will set a bad example to the society that one can get away from such an abominable act just by showing remorse & repentance. One has to face the consequences of his own deeds. And here I think as I said y'day that Geet will herself forgive Dev saying because of him she got Maan & she will be grateful to him for that. That will be a fitting bereavement for him. And regarding this all has to face the consequences not only him, NT should be punished along with his mom & sister as well. My only question here is if he had the file with him all along why didn't he do something to find Geet by now? Why didn't he take some action to undo his wrongs? Why didn't he try to amend the situation?
The last segment was instrumental to show us that Maan will get the seed of doubt in his mind that Geet didn't forget about her past life after all & has been harboring a feel to avenge the guy for his misdeed. And interestingly he knows its Dev's number, so maybe he will start connecting the dots from tomorrow. Interesting turn of rounds it will take I think. I will be interested to see what Geet tells him tomorrow, how she evades him, how she eludes herself from his probings.
About the precap I think we will get it on Friday & will wait to comment on it then. My only request is don't be cornered by any groups or activists & betray ur audience CV's. We know Maan & Geet & love them to the core & we have been waiting for this special moment of their union for such a long time, so don't compromise by showing edited versions to ur viewers just because a handful of people wants u all to curb ur creativity. That would be not only cheating ur viewers of their pleasure but also u will be deceiving urselves about the freedom u possess & tends to practice, if u give in once u will be asked to compromise all throughout ur lives. And why would u want to do that in a democratic country empowered with the freedom u possess? CV's & Channel we give u the TRP's & we will tell u whether we like something or not! Don't pay heed to unorganised hypocritic parties or organisations!
Also as I said y'day I would like u take this phase as slow as possible! Even their 'after engagement' stage is important to slowly grow in to intimacy level & the entire process is important, so pls take it slow to show us all the aspect of it. They have to connect in their hearts, joined in their souls before they can physically take the plunge to the next level of intimacy! So take a gradual path to this union of heart, soul & body!!
And as I said y'day if we will see what I think we will see here Maan has to come without his vest! That scene & situation demands it, we have seen unnecessary stripping many a times but here the scene calls for it & he should be shown with an front open shirt or in bare body! I always look at the scene to decide what is apt & justified & here this situation calls for this.
Overall a fantastic episode today, I am very pleased & happy to see the conversation they had today & their perspectives became clear to us. The execution was flawless & the pace was perfect! Acting once again Gurmeet u outdid urself, it was more than brilliant! Truly I am proud to be a viewer of Geet, I feel honored, so thank u CV's!!
