Ok now that I have finished my fit of fangirl reaction I can go on to my serious analysis of the episode. 🤓
There were several interesting things about it and it also threw open a lot of questions.
First and foremost the dupatta:
So Geet's dupatta gets caught on a bush and she is forced to tear it to move forward. Ideally she should have just left the thing there and run but it represents her izzat in my upcoming symbolism so I will forgive her for that ziddi. I thought it was really interesting that Vikram found her dupatta and left it hanging on the bush while Maan picked it up and kept it with him. To me this reinforced the idea that Vikram is not in the least interested in Geet the person, but rather in Geet the idea and any small thing about her (ie the dupatta fragment) is only useful insofar as it helps him possess her. For Maan on the other hand, every bit of Geet, no matter how broken or small is signifcant and he keeps it with him until he finds her.
Vikram is not dead.
Ok yes, we all know that Vikram cannot be dead. For one thing they made way too big a deal of his face being down and he had a huge lead on those poor huffy puffy police officers. They were just too ready to believe it was him but I wonder who he killed in his place. It is scary that he is willing to kill to protect himself. 😕
THE HUG. ❤️
Ok to be honest, I have to watch this again because I was so concerned with whether it was a BD or not that I didn't properly get into the scene. But it was just beautiful in the aesthetic sense. I love that they met in a clearing which showed at least a temporary space for them from problems, hopefully. I also liked that Maan didn't rescue Geet as that would have been hugely melodramatic and unnecessary. They both just sort of found each other and that made it more beautiful to me. It was the culmination of each of their fights to escape some sort of bondage and reach each other.
CIRCUS. 🤡
OK this is really just getting ridiculous. Nando ruined a perfectly good Maaneet moment today with her nostrils and it was insufferable. And her lecture to Preeto about love! EW! Um let me remind all that Preeto has been in love and suffered much more hardship for the same than Nando. Her "romantic" talk with Dev was EUGH! But he is in LONDON Ahem! The same LONDON that the LONDON clients are from. I know, I am being too hopeful but that's how I roll. I really hope Preeto convinces Lucky to have some romantic moments far away from our tortured eyes.
ADI 😳
Ok to be honest, I just feel a duty to mention him! It felt nice at least seeing him there. But poor thing he is banished from KM. 😭
SOUP!!! ☺️
Ok the soup scene was so freakin' HAWT! I love how it started out funny and Maan was all shararti but then he got SERIOUS ☺️☺️. And I LOVE how Geet was totally NOT in chaddo mood today. Thanks to Sundeep for that. I like how she gave him the napkin to prove her point in the nok jhok battle but then she wanted the romance too so she took it back. It was just so beautifully directed! And I feel like I have been saying this for ages and I finally saw it today! Instead of them being interrupted or Geet pushing him away, they just froze frame as they were on their way to kissing which I will take the liberty of imagining they did.
Precap
It's sponge bath time again! 😃 This time Sundeep Sharma ishtyle! I can't wait! It looks like we are getting the few lighter, romantic episodes we wanted. 👍🏼
