to be honest, I was wondering how he calculated 37 hours -- if you put in 8-10 hours of sleeping, then it is only a day. it isn't that long 🤷‍♀️ 😂

Are you looking for logics?

He must've meant 37 waking hours 🤧

Fantastic analysis and highlighted @blue..Wish I chose another color bcos the blue in this series is giving me toxic vibes. But nonetheless, Absolutely spot on, they need to have longer conversation..But guess she knows the silence is killing him and that's what he deserves for giving her this pain. Actingwise, there are two places where things fell flat for me. One during the initial proposal to marry him and the deal/negotiation. Imlie's response was like, ok, let me just decide, nothing like some thunder fell on her head and second is today. That guy, THE ASR, bowing down to you..girl watch is body language and mannerisms..Your one blink and he will change the world. Well, this coudn't be conveyed through his actions was a let down for me. How Imlie couldnt read him. but then he voiced out, what can she do? sab kuch..May be that kind of got her spirts up..Well well..Take it one a day and enjoy.

* so I had read so many lovely reactions to yesterday's episode and I was looking forward to seeing it this morning. But I ended up having such a muted reaction when I watched it; I liked it but I didn't love it. This wasn't an episode that really got me fangirling like with Holi or even his spiel in the previous episode.

What didn't work for me: 😅

-- They needed to stretch the convo in the room to the whole episode and it should have ended with Aryan stumbling his way out of the room while looking at each other across the room -- so close and yet so far. That would have packed a punch

-- There wasn't enough questions being asked. I had to laugh when baby doll says that she didn't learn the hashtag values that blue aunty had taught her. The girl has no brains -- how is no one questioning if this girl could actually come up with something so absurd like a bride swap?

-- Imlie's brain has been switched off. For someone who keeps wanting to exit the wedding, all she needed to say was that she was traumatized by being stuck on top of the mandap roof and maybe needs a breather. That would have put a pause on the celebrations. 🤷‍♀️

-- For someone who wants to protect Narmada and Arpita, why didn't Imlie open her mouth and say aunty blue had a hand in what happened? 🤦

What I liked:😘

-- There was some overflow of music with much of the episode. What I found interesting is that the episode started with the tune I associate most with Aryan-Imlie -- the sad BGM. The strings as they play out tell of a song that is a bit melancholic. It is not sad enough for someone to weep but something where someone is going about their daily life but when they get time to look out of the window, for a moment, they allow themselves to feel the burden of their spirit, of weariness. Gah, I love this tune.

-- Anyway back to the choice of music, I found it interesting because I was expecting the episode to start with dramatic intense type music. Instead the choice of creatives made you feel that this was a tragedy that is occuring. This isn't just worry but rather Imlie's sense of pang at what is going on. While it was expected that she begin with worrying for Narmada and Arpita, she finally is able to acknowledge her worry for him as well "Aryan helped me during bad times, I can't let this happen to him."

-- Two hearts beating in two separate places; While her ending up on the top of the mandap had us all cracking up, liked how the creatives used it create shots like this -- to show they are both in the same space and yet so far out. If there was a pic that captured their relationship status at the moment, this would be it!

-- I wanted more out of the conversation in the room. While he starts out with admitting that he has even counted the hours they didn't talk, there is hardly reaction from her. Again, so close and yet so far are these two.

-- When he is reaching out to her, found it interesting that he puts himself in a position where he is below her looking up while she is sitting. Whether she realizes it or not, she has this man in the palm of her hands. She has no idea how powerful she really is.

-- However, even as he tries to tell her how much hold she has over him, he ultimately stops himself to protect himself. Was he right that the time wasn't right? Till that point, she held his hand but when he wouldn't tell her, she withdraws from him physically and emotionally yet again.

Found it interesting how he framed it -- "I can win over everyone. But I lose by mom's smile, sister's scolding and your - "

For both Aryan and Imlie, they start off with Narmada and Arpita before they come to the other. It is like they think themselves of the family first before their own personal self. So very alike in that way.

With Aryan, he admits that his mother's smile has the power to undo him. While he is not someone who will self-sacrifice himself to gain her happiness, her joy has the power to make him smile. Her random English phases, her willingness to dance and sing -- she brings him joy and her happiness also matters to him because he knows how fragile it really is. Arpita is the voice of reason and logic in his life. She has no problem putting him in place as well as asking the tough questions. She holds him accountable and does not give excuses.

So how does Imlie make him lose? The answer should be tears right? For him, there is something magical about her tears in that it makes him empathize and sympathize. Rather than retreat behind a cold wall of indifference, she forces him to confront his emotions without realizing it. It is interesting that this is a relationship where it is tears that tie each other.

So in some ways, we have a triangle that can undo him -- joy, accountability, and tears. It does seem complete picture then with Imlie no?

hahahaha.... the heart wants what it wants ... in this case, a little logic will be cool. 🤣

maybe I am cold hearted but I won't melt at 37 hours 😂. I mean people need to sleep, eat, work etc. so maybe miss for a few hours in between the numerous functions. 😂 and these days with technology, you can always annoy by calling to ask for random questions no?

What make him lose is her tears. Her tears became his worst "faibless" - weakness. He may start as Dom Aru but her tears always make him submit to anything!!!

Just a drop of her tear and he melt like ice cream in the Sun.

Behna. I don't even know what's there for him to love hermere liye tou ye kattapa ne bahubali ko Kyu mara? se bhi bara suspense bn gya hai? How did someone like ASR fall for her?

Anyhow, see I wanted to make a separate post for this. Cause I feel dejected. I don't know what purpose this whole track served, after today except the fact that ASR is once in a life time ML. And that his undoing is his love for imlie. Not just her tear, it's over all the intensity of his love. He basically just accepted defeat and I hate that. Why? It's a full on rant that I'm afraid nobody would understand

Go ahead, make the post! 😂 .... I tend to swim many a times against the tide when it comes to drama views. It is always good to have different perspectives. :)

Alright then. Let me gather my thoughts😃

sure! I will have to wait till tomorrow morning to see the episode and then will chime in. :) but I do get your thinking about the intensity of love and whether that is healthy. something that is attractive about aryan is his sanity and spot on real world view. moderation in everything including love is important. sometimes ITV makes it look like love is all important but as the dialogue from an old movie goes - "love is only a part of life".

That is exactly a part of the grudge I'm holding since morning and there's more.

Itv logic is not the only thing that's messed up. The way relationships and emotions are presented and handled is clearly messed up as well

weird as it may sound but this is exactly the type of drama that can really teach people on what not to do! 😂 so yea, lot of learning can happen about relationships as well as emotions based on how viewers react to those scenes.
