Today it was an entertaining episode! By the end of the episode it looked like a Priyadarshan film everybody running towards one person heading in one location!! 😆 As I said 'All roads leads to Maan'! CV's must be out of their wits to progress further without the protagonist!
Anyway as predicted I knew Meera will manage to get by Geet's question & will take her home. The only solution in that scenario! Geet back to her positive chirpy self after a night of mulling & pondering! This is the Geet we all know & recognise, she always tries to stand back & face the situation no matter how difficult the situation is. This Maan himself taught her & she follows it every time. Now she is back to her logical reasoning & determination. She knows she has to find Maan & tell him the whole truth. Go Geet go!
Loved how she gave hopes to Meera & told her about her resolution! Meera was awed to see her determined self & she was enlightened about NT by Geet. I loved the dialog of Geet about NT, 'babaji ne na uski tedi dimaag ko bahoot phursat se banaya hai' 😆, so true!! But I was happy to see how she realised that she shouldn't have left letting NT manipulate MSK! If she would have known she wouldn't have left then. Good going Geet!
And Meera u r still under a misconception about Dev! I know NT is notorious & she made the plan of a 2nd marriage of Dev but it was Dev who went ahead & did that & moreover without NT's urgings he spend the night with Geet on his own. So u can't blame NT for everything, Dev is not a kid to follow her being all submissive!!
I don't understand why the office staff & atmosphere of KC r total contrast to MSK!! The boss hates gossip & wagging tongues but the staff & employees all along only does that! Make comments & taunts openly!! Really that type of people exists?? That too in office? I knew about office politics related to work but here they r so personal!!
And I will wait for the day Sasha is going to be exposed. Loved Geet's confidence here when she didn't even cower under the pressure of the society but gave such a good answer back to Sasha when she asked her to get out. Yes only MSK has the rights to fire her & no one else & who is Sasha to ask her to get out!! Way to go Geet! 👏
And NT's schemes r on & I can see she is going to go what Doodle & Kasturi predicted I think, she will find out whether Geet is pregnant or not & will try to turn the table on MSK & Geet specially to dadi for some major brownie points. Obviously dadi will be displeased & when she will question about this MSK will jump in announcing its his baby & they will be asked to leave Khurana mansion! I will wait to see whether they go for the legal implications or not as Doodle is predicting!! In that case the baby becomes the 3rd most, no actually primary most important person in the family!
And Dev I have to say, that was such a pleasant surprise!! He grew his spine back in front of NT! He didn't cower either in front of her & faced her squarely with his head held high in a no-nonsense attitude. I think even NT was surprised seeing this. 😆 And Abhinav I will say today I liked ur expressions. U did a moderately good job! When Meera called & he took the call & looked at NT with angst & ire he did have a perfect expression. And the way he took Meera's call a moment before again with a nonchalant attitude he definitely deserves praise!! Good job Abhinav!
But Dev character do confuse me! Today he was a brave martyr but tomorrow he will go back into his coward shell when MSK will be back or when the baby truth will be exposed. He keeps going to & fro from being a hero to zero in a flash. So I won't & can't solely depend on him about his intentions. He still is confused & still is selfish, so it would be foolery to believe him on his word. Like NT even I am surprised seeing this chivalrous side of Dev but as I said I don't know how long will it all last.
And the latter part of the episode reminded me of Priyadarshan movie climax where every one gathers in one location & their eyes r targeted only on one object or person! Here everyone is looking for Maan & thus as I said all roads leads to MSK!! 😃 He looked like Baba Maandev here who will resolve every one's problems. 😆 We know why Geet is looking for him! Adi & Pinky r looking for him to aid Geet. Dev & Meera looking for him to tell him the truth about Dev & Geet's marriage & to expose NT. And NT searching for him to save her own back thinking she will weave all lies about Geet before Dev & Meera can get to him & in the process besmear Geet. Except for Sasha & Tasha everyone is out searching for Maan high & low. 😃
Geet really is street smart, she thought of how to find out about Maan. To check credit card transaction statement from the bank. Good pointer CV's, very logical. And she knows about MSK which she showed today that was lacking in the last 2 days. I laughed when she said no he will not go to any hotel but will go to a jungle, put up a tent & will mope & sulk away!! 😆 Muh phulake baithe rahenge!! 😆
NT has guts! After last time bashing by MSK she still went to his cabin & opened his laptop & was checking his whereabouts!! NT only if he comes to know about this! The priority list that u think u r in of the Lord Almighty will soon make u realise in what position & ranking u r actually in!! 😃 Will wait for the day. And have to say Meera is no match for NT, she is a shark who will simply eat her alive even before Meera can realise it.
That old clipping of MSK entering with his army of guards looking authoritative, confident & assertive is to die for every time they show it!! 😃 My jaw drops seeing that footage! 😆 But I doubt whether there will be an encounter with Maan & Geet or with others for that matter on Monday. Something will happen to show all of them missing each other by a hair. Obviously GC is not back yet & will take time to resume his shoot. I don't know if he will shoot for some limited scenes from his home or not & because of this a proper encounter on Monday doesn't seem very likely. Will wait & watch!
About Sameera entry as I wrote about it y'day I would like to reinforce some more points about Maan's character. I am still not convinced that he changed from a happy smiling man to this ruthless & heartless person only because of Sameera! A personality like MSK doesn't change overnight for one incident. No matter how much he was in love, if he was at all, he won't transform himself only for a mere girl. When Devdas changed or others change they r just normal human beings with a soft heart & weak resolution but here all along MSK was portrayed as a strong personality, of commanding nature, very independent, too assertive & demanding & a guy like him won't change for someone but usually make the world change for him! So think about it CV's before u bring in on this brilliant concept of urs that will kill MSK to the core in my eyes. And that will be the end of Geet for me.
If u show him affected by his mom when he was a boy I can accept that because boys r vulnerable at a tender age & any major repercussion from their mothers leave a deep impact that stays for the rest of their lives & this I can accept but he changing after being an adult just doesn't sit well with me. Sameera can be the last straw in his bitterness for women & devoid of any softness in his nature but can't be the only straw! So again be very careful when u sketch Sameera angle in Maan's life!!
And MSK who always believes in principles, morals & ethics can't be so underhanded so as not to reveal his past to Geet! I simply can't accept this no matter what the reason! When he emphasises on Truth, Honesty, Trust & sincerity as the basis of any relationship & yet he won't voice his past to Geet when she unfolded her past to him? If not on that occasion he had many opportunities to tell her, when they came home from the station, in the fountain scene when he asked her about her past, in Manali, in the jungle date night...........so many chances he let go by without revealing anything to Geet?!! Can't be, sorry that is not MSK! No matter how unimportant he thinks his past is or no matter how it doesn't bear any consequences on his present, he ought to & should have confessed to Geet! Period! There is no justification behind this. If u all show Maan this way then u r ruining his character & to me as I keep harping character consistency is very important.
To me it looks like Sameera was not sketched at the beginning of the show. Only in August the CV's thought of bringing a past angle to his life & thus brought in Sameera & only after that we heard Dadi mentioning Sameera in the outhouse before Dargah episode & Maan mentioned her after Dargah episode. But in all this u all forgot one thing that u built a strong, unblemished, unscathed, untainted character of MSK from HP days & that became a dream character to the opposite sex & suddenly to make him show more human & to carry on with a twist u all thought of Sameera, his love angle of the past! If this is so CV's I will be very vexed beyond understanding! This r cliche routes other production houses takes to bring in new twists in their shows & Geet is too superior in that regard & has been unique & consistent so far & therefore pls keep the story that way. I am not accusing u CV's but am just being proactive here to give u suggestions when u might think of bringing Sameera later on & how the characters should be kept consistent no matter what!
I can't believe that he was infatuated with Sameera & thus didn't know the feeling as love when he fell for Geet! Nope can't be!! A person like him is a perfectionist in every respect. If he had felt for some other girl before then it would not be so unknown to him when he fell in love with Geet! He wouldn't be questioning himself or doubting himself or keep talking about how he is changing for Geet & why is she so affecting him & why does it seem so alien to him!! A person can fall in love innumerable times but it can't be he won't know that he is falling in love. The degree & depth of the feelings might vary but he will know he is falling in love for sure. It won't be an 'anjana ehsaas' to him under any circumstances. All along u all made him react as if he is falling in love for the first time & now suddenly u can't show him he was in a relationship before!!
I hope after reiterating so many times u all will realise what I am trying to say! So pls keep this in mind while u bring in on Sameera angle!! The storyline & character consistency ought to be the primary most aspect of a show.
Overall an entertaining episode for sure with the climax leading to KC for all & everyone waiting & looking forward to meet Maan! I wonder what his reactions will be when he will enter the office!! Hope GC & DD is feeling a little better! Hope they recover soon & take ample rest to recuperate quickly!! CV's & Nissar, good job under this circumstances & DD a special thanks to u for shooting from home inspite of being ill. And have to say DD's body double is better than GC's!! 😃
