After enjoying a topnotch humorous episode, I found today's episode substandard. All thanks to conflicting technicalities!
One of the most pivotal moment of HD was destroyed by the poor sound processing. Rishi sounded so hoarse during the first 5 minutes that the vocal impact of an excellent conversation was eluded. The most entertaining element from yesterday's episode, i.e. SV's natural voice, was completely robbed off today. The ending scene from yesterday and the starting scene from today were totally disconnected.
However, the emotions were well enacted. The most adorable part was Indira expressing her desire of coming out of Hitler mode and Rishi reciprocating his happiness through his tears. I know people found it a contrast from regular situation of guy proposing the girl and girl getting emotional. But this was the best way of depicting love. It showed their comfort level in expressing emotions in front of each other without any hesitation. In a way it boosted Indira's emotional confidence. For the first time background score of her childhood was used while she holds Rishi's hand. She knew that in past she had hurt Rishi many times, physically and vocally but he never reacted emotionally. His response raised her concerns but he immediately composed himself without letting her know and continued playing to situation. His light-hearted humor sealed their confirmation of love for each other.
Immediately after this sequence, SV's normal voice resumed but the next blow came in terms of creativity. May be it was only to me, but today I found Rishi's character going astray for a while. Rishi wiping off Indira's tears was fine but then continuing to hold her face and later shoulder seemed weird. I was like that's not Rishi! He cannot be so liberal with physical affection immediately after Indira's confession. To me Indira was visibly confused and uncomfortable by this sudden physical affection, which I liked. And this was the reason I did not like her initiating the hug in dream sequence because that's just not part of her persona. Thankfully her discomfort was realised by Rishi, thus bringing back "our" teasing-flirting Rishi. Now the most awaited moment is when Indira will smile.
Just an observation, in the flow of thanking doctor Mukul, SV ended up saying his trademark words "God Bless" 😆. So, looks like he has his personal inputs as well to his performance.
I hope HD team takes care of these technical glitches.
