Ok to be honest, I didn't love this episode, except for the Maaneet parts. It was pretty much as bad as, dare I say it, the circus! I mean a blindfold game, REALLY?! And for some reason, other than the Maaneet scenes the camera work was really off until the scene in Maan's office. It looked really cheap and didn't have that HG stamp at all! 🤔
Anyway so I am just going to talk about the Maaneet scenes in this one. I love Maan the mentor. He is so calm and sweet to Geet and really does try to understand where she is coming from. He has these flashes of maturity where he can rise above the situation and these moments, where he is not playing the game with Geet but is genuinely concerned for her well-being is when he does her the most good. He is seriously like a whole family wrapped in one wonderful man and in this episode we see Maan being almost a parental figure to Geet.
Because of her age and inexperience, Geet falls prey to what people are saying and her desperation to retain her reputation. Although she knows deep down that it doesn't matter she does get bogged down and also fears for her job security. Sasha makes her feel defensive because of her constant attacks and doesn't give Geet a moment to think about her position and her actions properly. So Geet ends up being manipulated.
I love how Maan makes Geet understand how redundant Sasha is by saying that even if he was to believe Geet, that she still wasn't doing the right thing by marching to other people's tunes. But my favourite part was when a stubborn Geet tried to march away, declaring that they would never understand each other and Maan pulled her back because this wasn't a situation of equals. Geet was being immature and falling prey to other people's nonsense and that was absolutely wrong so Maan made it a point to get that across to her and Geet finally understood when he told her calmly after he almost let his inner feelings slip. 😉 She needed someone to shake her out of her own stubbornness and strongly guide her in the right direction and Maan took that role with responsibility. This is why he became her whole world!
Ah NPM. We meet again. ☺️☺️☺️
I loved the flashbacks where Maan's confusion and frustration was shown beautifully with the contrast of Geet's words and actions. On the one hand she kept telling him to stay away but on the other she kept somehow coming closer and closer to him and he couldn't understand which one was the truth! Poor guy, he is really confused and then Dev comes to "clear his doubts" but the clarification only makes him more upset.
Before Geet was being aloof because of what other people were saying and now Maan is avoiding her calls because of how he is feeling. But all this confusion is just waiting for its fitting climax...😉
@Paro: Thanks for the info! 😆 I will apologise to my laptop now. 😳
