In whole i am ok with the way story and plot is building up but dissapointed with the dance sequence just bcoz of poor editing and bad camera angles...

In all 8/10...

I don't think the screen play was upto the mark- I do not understand what the dance was doing in the episode- there was absolutely no build-up or any logical connection between the dance and what came before. It started abruptly and ended equally abruptly. Who starts dancing without asking their fiance why she is crying/upset? Maybe I am being too pragmatic- but I found it very out of place! Why could you not show a 1 min build-up to the dance? I do not think it would have taken more than that to set the stage. The last lap sequence could be shifted to tomorrow- 6 days a week and all, I thought you guys would be all for dragging! The team needs to find a healthy balance between going to fast/glossing over issues and dragging too much. Both are equally off putting for the viewer.

On a standalone basis the dance was good...

However, I loved how both of them are so in sync/attuned to each other. Maan's reaction to a distraught Geet was really beautiful. His frustration, confusion, angst all shone through.

I liked Geet and NES interaction too. NES' lines were a bit OTT. Though I do not understand why Geet would not come out and tell NES the truth. She herself called NES dost and family. I guess that story is being saved for a rainy day. Both the actors were very good in the episode.

Editing was way below average today. The team needs to deliver on episodes for which so much hype is built through spoliers/SBS/SBB. You cant raise expectations and then do a poor job in putting together the final product.

Precap is looking very interesting. At the risk of getting ostracized from the den- I am beginning to like NES and NEB- they are right now keeping things interesting! Especially NEB. I am enjoying the fact that the character and his motivations remain a mystery to the viewer. I also thought that in today's confrontation NEB came out tops over MSK. (Now to pucca se I am getting thrown out of the den!). You need to build a backstory for NES- where was she all this while? Why did she not attend Dev/NT wedding- since she clearly does not know who Arjun is. I am assuming Dadi would have thrown her other grandson an equally lavish wedding!

Overall- I liked the episode. The story is moving in a very interesting direction. 7/10 from me (My first rating!) and I am ignoring the misplaced dance!

Future tracks

I ll say again .. judge on the basis of what was shown instead of what was not shown 😆
