Helloo Nissar, Ved, Sudhir, Vikas, Barry, friends, et al … I liked today's epi…a nice build up to a shaadi …enjoying the beauty in simple things like selecting a wedding card, a dress, decorations…same but still unique…because Maaneet is unique. Liked the confirmation from Geet FB that it will be on a HUGE scale.
Aap meri zindagi hai
-------------------------
Continuation … Red or white, whatever u like, my choice is in ur happiness, says Maan's note. Brings a smile to Geet's lips. She turns around sensing, hoping he's there …but no.
She moves to her bed and finds another gift waiting for her …with another set of red/white rose combo….Meri pyaari si would-be wife, meri Mishti ke liye, it says….which brings a delighted grin to her face…awww. Geet opens the box to find a set of beautiful bangles.
Are you happy now, Maan asks from the doorway. Happy, Geet rushes into Maan's arms. U r bad, says she…u've bound me so that even if I want to I cant be mad at you…turned me into playdoh….moulding me anyway u want. So I would want to see this moam ki gudiya always smiling, counters Maan.
Geet I didn't give u these bangles to wear,,, keep it. I will put them on you myself on our SR day (?) A collective awww from the viewers…with reservation…knowing Maan's speed of action….LOL…but happy nevertheless for he uttered the SR word.
From now on everything will be per your wish Geet…including the wedding cards.
Geet, Maan confesses, pls don't be angry with me ever. When u r angry, everything fades. You paint my life with colors, you fill my life with every fragrance.
Aap meri zindagi hai, confesses Geet, when u r with me the world is at my feet….awww scene…Maan cups her face in his hands, looking at her adoringly and then kisses her forehead….scene fades…matlab use ur imagination.
AA batteries
---------------
NE storming out of Arjun's office with him following her. She gets ticked off at him for calling her that….more finger pointing by NE ….quit that NE…looks rude….only Geet can carry that off with aplomb. Arjun, must say you have a very good voice…so much so that NE sounds like a screaming banshee. Again, like the BG score.
So Arjun trying to charm NE … and finally succeeds (by challenging her) …in convincing NE to look at his designs.
Oye hoye, today Arjun NE ka haath pakadta hai….yeh maamla kya hai ?
One good thing, Arjun comes across cool, calm and cunning ? calculative? Manipulative ? or just besotted? Well, time will tell.
Battle of the wills…NE wins this round …. But walks back into MDs office to check out the designs. After all her goal is to give her bro and Geet a fantastic wedding.
Maaneet
----------
Maan ki khushi is Geet , Geet ki khushi is Maan….so who wins …viewers, of course. So Geet decides to make Maan happy which will make her happy and decides to pick his white card and paint it with the colors of his happiness.
Next morning, loved the way Maan-Dadi pull a fast one on Geet on how to be a dutiful wife….and she falls for it…hook, line and sinker…LOL !
It was fun to see Geet's enlightened moment ! Maan's moment was when Dadi hugs Geet…the 2 most important women in his life … loved the satisfied look on his face.
@ the Bridal Boutique
---------------------------
The boutique is booked specially for Geet…just like how Maan had booked the hospital for her first checkup. NE is there to confirm that Maaneet keep the appointment.
This time NE pulls a fast one on Geet….seems like a family day for taking phirkees of Geet. But I loved the thought behind the gesture.
Since Nissar is so much into symbolism, why does NE part Maaneet when she is leaving ? Hmm…stop it V… it probably has something to do with the precap…look on the bright side, will ya.
When Geet thanks NE for helping her with the wedding…loved NE's sense of humor…Big bro seems to have gotten it this time. Another satisfied look on Maan when he sees Geet and his sis jelling with each other.
So now on to the important task of dress selection. I loved this scene…how many men like shopping ? But when u r in love, shopping is therapeutic to them…they are at the most patient time in their life…LOL ! Maan seems to be totally at ease, not impatient, not in a hurry, nothing….while Geet is making her selection. Loved the head nodding going on…even though there's no one else in the store…LOL !
But very soon, Geet doubts the constant agreements he gets from Maan…is this guy for real or is he thinking of work ? What Maan says next when Geet confronts him with the sherwani …summarizes all his love in that dialogue…Barry….maar daala.
Can I tell u something Geet ? Jab bhi tum mere saamne hoti ho to tumhare chehre ke alaawa mujhe kuch dikhta hi nahi. Tum jo kuch pehnogi wo hamesha achcha hi lagega. Shaadi key eh kapde mein kewal rivaaz ke liye khareed raha hoon Geet. Mujhe koi farq nahin padta ke mein aur tum kya pehen rahein hai. Hum log saath mein hai, bas, yehi mere liye mainey rakhta hai…haan Geet.
Precap – Tasha trying to enlighten NE on Geet. Now is she standing in for the MIA Sasah ? Par Tasha to dhakkan hai….khair…kal dekhtey hai
So let's look at the likes and dislikes today –
Likes
------
- Maan's gifts and the way they were presented, the red-white symbolism. Even I decided to change my profile pic to show this symbol of unity…LOL !
- Maan's note to 'his would-be wife, his pyaari Mishti'
- Barry's dialogues
- Maaneet chemistry has been upped a bit today…good…keep jacking it up….after all its their wedding.
- Maaneet's costumes. Loved Geet's pink patiala and Maan's casual shirt…also sporting his mangalsutra…I mean taveez. Bahut dino ke baad nazar aya wo taveez. Of course, wedding day is coming closer, so taveez has to make an appearance.
- The satisfied look on Maan when he see the 3 most imp women in his life happy together.
- Maan's big bro manner kicking in when Dadi says the MD of the EM Co. has an attitude.
- Arjun-NE – Arjun seemed more natural than NE
- NE-Maaneet convo in the boutique. NE seemed much more at ease.
Disliked
----------
- Editing - The discontinuity of timing in the scenes. The red bedroom scene was at night, followed by NE-Arjun meeting…which was during daytime correct ? Followed by Geet's bedtime musings. I was confused. Is it day or night ? No wonder even the writers are confused as to should it be called SR din or SR (night).
- Arjun's hairstyle…minor…but me don't like his 'Sadhana' cut….totally at odds with his deep voice.
Ideas
------
- NE-Dev/NT mulaakat
- NE-Meera mulaakat
- Maaneet finding out who their EM person is
- Mehendi ceremony
- Sangeet ceremony…rope in Madhuri Dixit !
- Invite the Dhaaba couple with kids, Pinky's dad, Geet's parents and siblings
- Does Dadi know about the baby ? Bring her up to speed. She can help Geet as the pregnancy progresses
- Start off Arjun as manipulative, then make him fall in love with NE, let him find out about NT's true colors, NE finding out Arjun's relationship with NT … Arjun's decision– NT or NE
- Arjun-Dev faceoff
- Dev/NT sent back to jail
- Sasha exposed – her role in the sari fiasco, the Chopra party, for leaking to the press, ganging up with NT and Pindi Queen.
- Tasha's come uppance….straighten up or lose the job.
- Adi – beef up his role…make him a confident CFO of KC…able to face off NT/Arjun's machinations.
Nissar – good execution…barring the editing mixup…will chalk it to the technical issues u had today.
Barry – good dialogues
Gurmeet, Drashti – U succeeded in bringing back the chemistry …need more as the days move towards Maaneet's Big Day…especially Maaneet's Big Night and thereafter.
