I liked the episode, but what I wanted was different. Like it did not quench my thirst.

But then I have no complaints regarding NB and MP's acting.

I loved how Mansi's head was lowered when he pulled her out, and it rose when he said 'nahin jaane dunga' - there was this subtlest hint of surprise flickering in her eyes, not for what he had said - but it was a part of that same sense of amazement she feels - however mild - at how truly limitless Kesar's love has been. Her grand realization obviously puts her into a good position to realize what Kesar has undergone - better than than she could ever empathize before - and he has not an iota of grudge... no change that word, I want to say not an iota of shikwa - at her having taken so painfully long! Not that she could expect her Kesar to hold anything up on her... but I suppose its impossible to not be overwhelmed by a love like Kesar's - even for his Gulaal! At least momentarily!

I feel a flashback narration might have been too cheesy...I was just telling another friend of mine and maybe I'm in the minority when I say this but even a straight up "main tujhse pyar karti hoon" from Gulaal wouldn't have fit...

And I think the glimpses we saw of GK post the confession scene gave ample evidence of how much love there is b/w them...Gulaal's expressions when she walked down the stairs and pulled the ghoonghat up shyly said a lot...as also her expressions when Kesar put his arm around her and said Gulaal ab kahin nahin jaayegi...subtle moments but to me the chemistry was powerful...and ofcourse even more so in the final dance sequence...sparks flying big time in the bit when he circles her and there is this answering flirty light in Gulaal's eyes too.

I'm actually glad in hindsight that they didn't end with a wedding...that would have been just too much by the rulebook...instead they ended in joyful abandon...showing both of them dancing with joy at having found this happiness, this love with each other at last after a journey filled with so many ups and downs.

I think they gave us just enough in this epi to cherish the closure that GK got...ofcourse they could have shown more romance etc. if they had time but even within the constraints, I feel like they showed more than I'd expected...I had half thought it would just end with a confession or a textbook wedding ceremony...but I feel this was better...especially given how Gulaal's realization was built up (minus the mega cheesy scene with Vasant which I'm not even going to get started on...lol)

LOL you didn't approve of Vasant's scene then?? I thought it was ok, not bad...not amazing but I did absolutely LOVE the scene prior to it where Gulaal starts having flashbacks of Kesar while standing in Vasant's rooms. The GK phanka in me was so happy 🤣 Having Kesar flashbacks is one thing but to have them in a place which is so synonymous with her memories with Vasant, it was HUGE thing! Oh the flashbacks I didn't mind...when she's in the room by herself and trying so hard to cling to Vasant's memories but Kesar keeps breaking in to her thoughts and overtaking each memory...I liked her scene with MB too.

But the actual convo with Vasant could have been shown muchhh better...especially given that Tum Bin scene that Srushti posted a few days back as an example...and end mein humein kya mila...Oh man, Vasant was like totally putting me to sleep with his preachiness🥱🥱...I'm only thankful he didn't show up in the last scene to smile benevolently at the happy couple *rolls eyes*😆...I have otherwise liked Vasant's role in the show and in GK's life but that final scene was just blahh...that's how I felt.

I did wonder how their wedding would be but then I'm glad they were left without a 'tag' once again. Obviously phir se shaadi toh karege but it felt apt to leave them as Kesar-Gulaal and you're not in the minority when you say a simple 'Main tujhse pyar karti hu Kesar' wouldn't have done justice. Her final words meant so much more than a simple 'I Love you'. I agree...they ended it again without giving them a label although Gulaal had technically switched back to wifey mode by putting the ghoonghat on her head...lol...

I feel like the epic quality to GK was maintained till the end and I'm so glad it didn't descend into random overly mushy cheesiness...it was just so GK...that's the only way I can put it...it was just so them...they both exist on their own level.

BTW!! You two weren't here straight away post-leap so why not do these threads again?? Like from their first meeting after 10 years and so on?! Oh that would be nice...I guess I can be up for that even though I just recently did a marathon watch of the pre-leap epis uptill June😆
