My take for today:
Geet vs. Maan Round 3
Geet ji...ki haal chaal? Dust Danav back doing what he always does? Must feel so comforting to know that cameos come and go but Stalker Khurana will consistently repeat the exact same pattern time and time again. And what is this...as CEO you are sitting at a secretary type desk outside...no cabin? Tch tch...store room ko cabin banathe aap? Nahin? Oh...the KC mansion set just has one room...🤣...I get it...budget ka zamana hai!
Maan...MAAN...MAAN...the ego still preventing you from hearing me? But I must say...even if your hearing is impaired, your reading is not. I was wondering yesterday when random shirtless scene was going to make an entry...and you delivered. Thank you ji! This time you broke out the Nunchuks too....😎. Awesome...a week without a sighting of your OhEmGee pecs and Abs is no week at all! 😳. Do I see a little green monster growing inside you? Tch tch...you stopped Bunty from meeting his Babli...but Romeo...not so quickly...HAAN!
Daadi...feeling better are we? You clearly approve of your pota's shirt-less "hoo-aa-ing"...so do barah mulkon ki sabhi ladkiyan and their mothers...and their grandmothers too! 🤣
Romi...hi darling! Till Yash comes back, you are my random BFF.
*Tearing up* Thank you for your green hand kerchief...yeah I am still moping for JB's clothed shower scene. BTW, walking around with files tucked in your pant must get uncomfortable no??? I will keep offering you the same advice buddy...remove your shirt and run to the nearest shower for a shot...or you will be running out of this set instead.

Dear Geet Writers,I really don't know what to say anymore. Am I even watching the same series? Is this what all this track is about...Maan wanting to prove Geet needs his help? Why is this new track lacking basic character and story depth? The characters are now appearing like mere caricatures of what you have sketched for 7 months now.
Lets back up to last Friday's episode...I disliked its execution...but you raised some serious questions that are fundamental to the characters of Geet & Maan. These are now just being shoved under the rug.
Let's talk about Geet first: At a basic level, Geet lacks trust in humans. What Dev & her family did has left her with a fear of being used and discarded. Even when her heart is teaching her to trust again, her subconscious mind cannot let go of the fear of being betrayed! So, viewed from this perspective, I can understand why she jumps to conclusions about others intentions so quickly. Trust is not built overnight and when one has been betrayed as deeply as her character has, every major event is viewed and filtered through that sieve!
But now, Geet's character is coming across as emotionally needy. The way you wrote last week's screenplay, Geet felt betrayed when she confronted Maan in the office. This week, all that is pushed aside for Geet wanting Maan to do what...wipe her tears, come close to her...huh? Where is her resolve? If her anger and feeling of betrayal was so strong last week, where is that in this track? Her feeling of betrayal is now reduced to proving she does not need Maan's help?
Coming to Maan:At the end of the last track, Maan seemed more hurt by the fact that Geet could not even understand why he wanted to marry her. He was hurt by her lack of trust in him. So why is it now all about wanting to prove to Geet that she needs him?
Maan's character is egotistic...I get that. Why is being egotistic equivalent to putting somebody else down? That is such a superficial interpretation of an egotistic person.
Closing Notes:Have you read
The Celestine Prophecy? Do so...one of my favorite books. It talks about control dramas and patterns in human behavior. Your characters are perfect examples of that. They behave a certain way because they draw comfort from the reaction they know their behavior will incite. Chew on that for a bit!
