Significance of Bhangra dance
Bangara is a form of dance and music that originated in the Punjab region. It began as a folk dance conducted by Punjabi Sikh farmers to celebrate the coming of the harvest season.
The first time we saw Maan dancing to a punjabi bangra was in the dhaba which was soon followed by their first love hug if you may. Maan by then had started realizing his changing emotions for Geet and hugged her in a protective embrace almost like he wanted to stand as a barrier between all her sorrows and her.
If the spoiler pics are to be believed, it seems likely that we will get to see Maan dancing for a bangra number even now. With all the creative thinkers in the den, I was wondering if there is any siginficance, parallels, loop closures or symbolism of performing this number at this stage again.
This new track was introduced to being about a fresh start in Maaneet's life. The earlier bangra number was performed at a similar juncture where Maan started acknowleding his feeling for her, so in a sense, can we attribute that to a fresh start for him after which his life started changing evidently? If yes, then maybe we are in for some really cool stuff like the things we got after the first bangra.
Also, during the time of that initial bangra, Maan started realizing his feeling for Geet, or atleast that he was changing because of her and tried every measure to shun her fron his life. At this juncture he knows the importance of her in his life and is trying everything to get her back. Is that a loop closure?
Like I said earlier, bangra was initially performed by farmers to celebrate the harvest season. So, are there any symbolisms to draw here? Maybe this bangra will lead to the best moments we have seen between Maaneet so far?
Just putting it out there for you guys to speculate as well.
Ram Sita ke jodi mein Lakshman kaun?
Yesterday when Opti pointed out the significance of the colours of the clothes Maan and Geet were wearing, it got me thinking. Maan was in a grey shirt and Geet in green even in the conference scene when Geet releved to Maan about the occurrances in her life and then decided to go away from him. And they were in the same coloured outfits yesterday when Maan was looking for Geet and she refused to go with him. Sheerly in terms of colors too, it was a loop closure thinking from the aspect of who was chasing whom.
But the other important factor to note is Adi.That day Geet used the help of Adi to reach out to Maan and make him see things for what they are. And now, it looks like Maan will use Adi's help to reach out to Geet. In almost every instance when Maaneet have been helped by an external party in their relationship, it has been Adi. Makes me wonder, is he the Lakshman for this Ram-Sita jodi?

Episode Analysis
There is no better way to learn then through experience
The striking similaroty between Maan and Geet's presonalities is that they are both self made and they are who they are today because of their experiences and what they have learnt from it. If they were both told that it is important for a husband and wife to share things with each other, they probably would never understand its significance. And now, they are learning it the way that they know best. Experience is here to teach them that lesson.
Both Maan and Geet lost out on each others company because of they took each other for granted. They believed that no matter what they say or do to each other, things will always be ok between them. But they are wrong. Irrespective of how much you respect and love your partner, you are two individuals and have different opinions and likings. The way you balance your thoughts with your partners is through communication. And if you don't learn to do that, you will always have problems. That is what has happened between Maan and Geet. And now that they don;t have each other on their sides, they are learning the importance and what they should and could do to make things better.
Pakka bhai par kacha pati
We had all started appreciating Tej the bhai of Geet and his concern for his sister's well being. Some of us were in a dilemma if his stance to take care of Geet and not let Maan get anywhere near her was appreciable. But his behavior with his wife today has left everyone with a question mark again. It is hard to imagine that a man who can be so concerned about his little sister can be so bad to his wife. Why? Most husbands think they own their wife's and that they should do exactly what they are told to do. If Geet is made privy to this situation she might start appreciating the fact that her Maan is not like normal husbands. So this new family, like other cameo's in the past might land up teaching Maaneet a new lesson of bonding and togetherness, the most important one at it, appreciating each other's good's.
Maan ke liye Adi dega Jaan
Needless to say, Adi has not just been one of the cutest character in the show but also a great friend to Geet and Maan's most loyal employee. He has infact known Maan and his family for so long, it is almost like he considers them family. I was not surprised when I read that Adi took all this bashing by Geet's family with a pinch of salt. He is a genuine friend who truly wants his boss and his friend to be happy with each other and can go to any lenghts to help them in the process. I do hope we get to see more of Adi-Lucky and Adi-Maan scenes. Asi can be very funny and now we know that Lucky can too.
The only way to rectify a mistake is by correcting it
I was gladly surprised when the faqir baba game Maan the right piece of advise. If you make a mistake there is no point in punishing yourself for it and crying your heart out. It is also important that you rectify the mistake you created. Unlike daadima, this faqir baba was an intelligent one. If it was daadi, she would have asked Maan to go back home to Delhi with her and told him they could think of a new plan back home. I am glad Maan knows what to do now and will go to any lenght to bring back the happiness in Geet's life and take her back to his home with her consent.
Ek driver out toh doosra in
Well, "Singh is King" ko driver ban ke aana tha toh uss pehle driver ko nikalna toh padta. So, he got kicked out of his job on disciplinary issues. Well, it is kind of a pot calls the kettle black scenario since Tej was complaining about his driver's lack of discipline, but whatever. He had to get out for my Maan to come in. So, will wait patiently.
Maama hai ki CONfusion
Well, all of us knew that he would not give out Maan;s name today. He said he had forgotten whom she was with. But we might find out later that he hid it from everyone for a reason. I feel like he will be one who will help Maaneet eventually. Or maybe I am asking for too much, maybe he really forgot. Confusion hai bhi confusion hai.
