Finally the landmark episode is here where the confrontation takes place between Dev & Geet! After the declaration of love maybe this was another episode which was so important in the story & context. I have to say Drashti today u stole the show!! U were fabulous! Actually only u stood out for me in the entire episode & this time I didn't notice anything about dialogs, camera, direction, concept & other actors. So DD, fabulous job & expressions, u deserve accolades! 👏👏👏
The scene starts of from where they left on Friday, always a good sign! And in 'be-daag' relationship finally the 'daag' walks in breaking the trance, the moment! And as expected Geet escaped from there. Oh before I forget I am 100% sure Nissar & CV's on Friday followed the Parineeta story of Sarat Chandra Chatterjee & what we saw were just 2 jewellery on purpose, necklace symbolised the 'mangalsutra' or the garland & the 'maang tika' symbolised the sindoor! I will elaborate more on this later. The 2 major ingredient to complete a Hindu marriage which took place under that lighted gazebo signifying 'mandap' & they took blessings from the celestial heaven. A marriage of heart & soul were completed on Friday!
Maan's change in attitude & behaviour is more emphasised up on by the CV's & indications r given to us, the audience, that he will be smiling more now because Geet has taught him to smile forgetting his dark past's torments & he is willing to look forward to a happy pleasant future letting go of the forbidden past. Not only is he smiling more but of late Maan has become verbal more as well. He is expressing himself more in words, to Geet, to Dev, to his employees!! And there is a slight role reversal & Geet is more quiet & subdued now. She used to be more verbal & argumentative & now she is all talking through her eyes & within herself & Maan is trying to read her eyes & asking her to speak with his 'bolo, bolo na Geet'! So there is a change in their character graph & yet so far they have maintained the character consistency. Good going CV's! Both Maan & Geet r growing in their own ways!
And Dev realised & thought in a correct manner that he ought to leave because he can't ruin Maan's happiness which he witnessed on his face for the 1st time! Fast Dev, fast just pack ur bags & leave from there soon!! Yeah CV's u r doing an excellent job in paving the way to his redemption!! One lucky culprit he is I will have to say! If it was a reality I am sure a person with his criminal records would have been meted out with punishment but only in this show we r seeing Dev is honorned with sainthood! He wants to sacrifice for his brother's happiness, ask for forgiveness from Geet & leave them alone.............where to CV's?? Have u all booked his place in the Vatican yet? I don't understand this 'holier than thou' attitude of Dev that u r crowning him with, its not befitting!!
Maan leaves seeing Geet happy listening to the out pour of his heart & as usual happily goes to stalk her & pull her to him in his typical way! I flipped over his 'kya jaanna chahiti ho tum, bolo', 😃 that slight leaning on to her while asking that was too romantic! And this showed MSK, his as usual direct way of putting his feelings forward without concealing anything or beating around the bush! What Geet wanted to hear from the background he wanted to reveal to her on her face! That is MSK! Straight forward truth & honesty in every phase of his life! And she leaves him smiling showing her 'mehendi' reflecting the deep colors of their love! He didn't spoil her 'mehendi' because he can't, the color is related to the depth & sincerity of his love for her.
The next scene the most important one in the whole episode!! Geet's bumping on to Dev!! And boy oh boy what a scene that was!! I simply looked at DD all the time, how she was smiling when she bumped into him & then slowly tried to look up straightening her face to find out who it was & then the surprise turning into shock seeing its Dev & then slowly all the bad memories seeping in while the realisation just sinked in on her seeing Dev what she went through all because of him!! And then the detestable & abhorring look on her face seeing him standing there looking at her doing nothing was too much to bear! And yes she had to get those abominable emotions out of her system at that time or else she would have completely broken down from within, she had to find that outlet from her system & thus all the emotions came pouring out through that forceful slap! And did he deserve it or what!! I only wish there were some more that followed that one slap!
And the 'mehendi', the symbol of her happiness & love, is wiped away by the dark spot of her life, Dev!! That mehendi stayed as a mark on him to show he is the cause of all her sorrows & pain & he even now took away all her happiness which she found in Maan & the 'mehendi' bearing his name on it! Dev is the cause of all her miseries & suffering! A true real 'daag' of her life!
And now to Dev!! Actually I should say Abhinav!! Well as an actor u know what u have to do, right?? Yes ACT!! How long do u think we will overlook that one expression of urs in each & every frame?? This was such a crucial scene for u & all u had was a pitiful expression of urs on ur face seeing Geet!! Neither u looked sorry, neither it looked like u cried, neither guilty, neither u looked like understanding her plight, neither did u look u were empathising with her sorrow & pain, neither u looked like gracious enough to let her free of her memories of u.............I tried to see & read ur expressions a lot but believe me I came across a blank wall every time! I simply failed to put in to words what expression u were trying to emote. I know later u tried to tell Meera that u could feel what Geet went through because of u when u saw her but believe me I didn't see that on ur face even for a second!! Sorry for being so harsh but it really beats me to think what ties do u have with PH to keep u there in the show when the only thing u r supposed to do, but u can't , & that is to act!! Whatever!! Next to DD all the more ur expressionless face stood out very conspicuously!
The way Geet was aimlessly walking away & out of Khurana mansion was very noticeable! She was walking out on all her happiness just because a page from her past has come & blown right into her face. She has no ears for anyone there but the moment someone mentioned Maan look at the change of expression on her. Suddenly as if she found the anchor of her life & she realised she has to confide in Maan about Dev! She forgot about him earlier & his name brought back a renewed force, a renewed hope, a renewed life to her!! She dashed back to look for him! And yet after seeing him she didn't want to worry him seeing her in that condition!! True selfless love! He shouldn't suffer no matter what!!
And now CV's be prepared to be battered big time! U know I can accept any faux pas or mistakes or bloopers on ur part but the moment u mess up MSK's character I see red!! That is one constant factor I want to see going on in the show to keep me hooked to it. 'Badlava zindagi ka niyam hai', 'ussne mujhe phir se muskurana sikhaya',............I can understand & grasp he is changing & realise that he is finally happy today in his life to get engaged to Geet, the love of his life BUT, yes a big but, did he really have to go & joke around with his subordinates from his office? I will let go when he jokes with Geet or for Geet with someone but not when he is alone on his own, to go & speak jestingly with his employees, absolutely NOT. MSK should change for GEET but not for the world!! Over there he ought to remain the same! My 1st reason to be ticked off!! I know many will say he said he has learned to smile after a long time & is doing so effortlessly out of happiness but just remember a person's basic nature just doesn't change like that overnight! And here he is the CEO of the company & he has to maintain his position with his employees! CV's it definitely didn't go down well with me! Only my opinion!
2ndly Geet comes all in urgency with the stressful look on her face asking him to come with her because she wants to talk to him...........alone & what does he do?? He stands there telling her 'in front of everyone....................' & I wonder what was he going to say to her? I was beyond being shocked to realise he not for once realised that this is Geet who gets wary even to talk or look at him in public always thinking what people might say came to him all in despair asking him to follow her because she wants to converse & that too in private & yet it didn't register to him that Geet if she is doing this then it has to be something very important, something that is bothering her, something more than urgent!!?? And MSK is the one who is supposed to read her eyes!! Even if I let go of all his smiles & jocular self with his subordinates I can't let go of this one! He fails to read her big time knowing Geet will never publicly pursue him unless & until its very important! My 2nd reason to be upset with u CV's!
3rdly after he goes to the room he wanted to be cosy with her, I will pass that! Ok being a guy he thought of the obvious that she wants to be romantic with him!! He doesn't realise she just walked out of his hold, all right, will let that go as well!! He goes & switches on the light & comes back & then sees her & has a questioning look & asked her what happened! Ok fine! Something to put him back on track! Geet tells him she met him, Dev, & Maan is surprised & happy to know she has met Dev, his little brother who he loves the most after dadi & thought reckless & naughty he forgives him all the time & looks at him with all his love!!
Ok all fine but while saying all this he is looking at her & not for once he realised she has a shocked expression on her face & her eyes were pools of bewilderment there & she is not smiling but is all somber & solemn & the moment he utters Dev is my brother she just as if a current passed through her walks back from him, staggers backwards away from him!! He who was her world, her anchor, her pillar of strength now is talking away to oblivion & she is walking away from him, away from her very world!! And all this he doesn't notice, doesn't realise, doesn't see!!!?? R u all kidding me? This is MSK, he notices & observes every minute details of Geet & her eyes & her expressions & yet he can't see the massive devastation written all over fer face? She is not even facing away from him, hidden from his eyes but was standing right there in front of him staggering away all desolate & shattered & he is there talking about Dev & looking at her obscurely! R u trying to tell us CV's that u r connecting that statement of Geet's the other day to MSK about his unable to read her eyes to today's episode? But I am still not convinced! I want MSK to be perfect with his character, emotions & expressions all the time! The moment u change him without reason or go wrong with him I seriously get peeved! Expect much much better from u on this regard!
I am positive tomorrow Nissar will tie this with Maan again where he will be his original self trying to read Geet & getting it right! Specially that song 'aankhen teri' was chosen with a purpose for sure!!
Again Drashti was superb in this scene. She had the pain written all over her eyes & the moment Maan said Dev is his brother her face reflected shock followed by a shattering look as if the very ground she treads on was swept off her feet, the entire world collapsed around her, the bright light that hovered around her suddenly gave away to darkness. That one stagger away from Maan said everything! The very person who would have given her the support & strength is talking highly about the person so very fondly who gave her all the torment & pain in her life! Obviously her world will cripple down right in front of her eyes. The person who robbed her of her property, jewellery, money, honor, respect, her very purity, her life turns out to be her brother-in-law & this time the relationship is not fake but all very real! For any girl that would be a devastating fact! Living with 2 persons who changed her life under the same roof is not easy! One just ruined her life & other cared, saved & treasured it, this is the only difference!
At least by the end of the scene I saw a look of concern flitting across Maan's face about Geet!! He was going to probe but was interrupted by Adi & gang! And what was up with Adi today? He was a little carried away with his laughter & behaviour! Felt a little OTT specially knowing it was MSK he was dealing with.
The last scene again corroborated Geet's helplessness & dilemma! All her life she has been struggling to fight for happiness, truth & security & today at the time when she was going to gain everything the ominous past walked right into her life again to crush everything to pieces. No wonder she was questioning & complaining to her 'babaji' about her being tried & tested at every juncture of her life. And she asked for a way to resolve all this & up comes the solution in form of Dev! Or is it disaster?? Knowing u CV's Dev will be ultimate rescuer of Geet I think, relieving her of all her miseries of the past thay haunts her all the time! Baba Dev!! Will wait & watch to find out. Today the show belonged to Geet & DD did complete justice all throughout!
About the precap only one thing came up to my mind! Doodle u keep on making requests so that we get to see them fulfilled in a beautiful manner! 😃 U thought the scene was incomplete & tomorrow Nissar will complete it for u! 😃
But other than this there were some more significances! As I wrote earlier the 'maangtika' symbolised 'sindoor' & the necklace symbolised 'mangalsutra' & 'mehendi', all these signifies the essence of a married woman, 'suhagan'! Tomorrow in the precap she was devoid of all these characteristics symbolising all the color was taken out of her life by Dev & Maan putting everything back on her showing he is bringing the colors back in her life, he is making her a 'suhagan' again! From a blank canvas of her life Maan painted beautifully to give her a bright colorful life! Rest will wait to see the scene tomorrow to comment in details!
Overall an ok episode, the confrontation was very good, DD was superb, MSK to me was messed with & Dev being a pest in her life but apparently with good intentions & portrayed with an expressionless acting of Abhinav! Expect much better from u, Nissar & CV's!! Hopefully tomorrow it will be more remarkable than today!
