Ok so I know that a lot of people were not thrilled with the dance sequence in today's episode. I have to admit, I was one of them until I watched for the second time and instead of paying attention to the dance steps (which were all over the place and why I didn't love the dance on my first viewing) I paid attention to Maan and Geet's expressions through out the sequence, as suggested by the lovely Z/Mk.Gh in her take the on dance.
Here is the discussion we had about the dance sequence after my second viewing:
S: When they come down the stairs, Maan can see that Geet is worried and not entirely happy, even though this should be a joyful day for her. So in the dance, Maan keeps trying to distract Geet from her worry by making her smile, laugh and feel romantic. And it's not easy because he gets Geet to smile every now and then but then she keeps descending back into her worried state.
Maan is stroking her hair, falling and her knees and yet she is still a little spaced out until he takes her into his arms and just surrounds her with them and finally she completely forgets the stalker, not to mention the rest of the world and finally falls completely into the moment and dances with Maan.
Z: GurTi barely had time to rehearse .. I mean they rehearsed right before they shot the sequence.. so at places it looked like just plain GurTi fun LOL .. and I think that makes it more natural and not rehearsed in the episode.. I mean they didn't show Maaneet rehearsing for a dance like they did for their sangeet.. so if at places it looked like they were off or it wasn't consistent.. that shows the natural instincts of the dance.. as if to say its just Maaneet trying to have a good time ..

and I agree Samana the key is expressions .. Geet kept getting worried during the sequence.. kept going back to the fear of the stalker and MSK tried to pacify her with his cheery mood .. he's doing it all just for her.. because you can see how serious he became when he was with the Commissioner.. and that's also when we see Geet being in a half-tensed mood since Maan is missing and she is left alone even if she is amongst a crowd..
S: Exactly. At first it looked like Geet was just trying to have fun for Maan's sake to keep him happy. She only completely let go right at the end when he took her in his arms!
I love that this man is willing to make a fool of himself, crack silly jokes and perform OTT gestures just to make his girl smile. And Geet is willing to smile through all her worry and trauma so that Maan won't be worried.
They care about each other so much! Truly, when they are together they need fear nothing because Maan will save Geet and Geet will save Maan from any museebath that comes their way and they have proven it time and again!
Z: Don't you just love that a rough and tough man like MSK is willing to go to any lengths to make her happy? People may laugh at his guitar play today but honestly I found it adorable because the reason he was doing it was to make Geet SMILE and LAUGH and just plain enjoy herself. I mean its his girl's birthday .. he doesn't want to see her shed tears the entire time :(
S: As for the guitar, I have to admit I didn't get it at all the first time I watched. I was like where did that come from and why? But now I realise that long with the lighter and falling on his knees, it was an attempt to divert her attention away from what he knew she was thinking about and like you said, make her birthday a happy time for her. He is SO SWEET but only to Geet. That is what I love. She breaks down only and only in front of him because she knows he will understand and never think less of her or think she is weak and he acts like a goofball only for her, for the same reasons.
This was our spontaneous take on the dance, the context and the expressions of our impossibly gorgeous leads. I hope that if you were not happy with the whole thing this gives you a new perspective and if you did love the sequence, you can join both of us in gushing madly about our overwhelming love for these two impossibly beautiful and in love characters! ❤️
