Ok I'm here now...many hours late, but nevertheless😆...my two cents on the episode below:
I didn't expect much from the episode given that we already knew the premise going in...still, the episode managed to pleasantly surprise me in some ways😆
1) Shivaay ka countdown🤣...and Om showing up there asking him why he's counting down and if he's that desperate to get married😆...thoda random Bro moment tha but I got my lulz nevertheless.
2) Shivaay's face when he realizes Anika ran away too😆😆...also GENIUS idea to lock in a girl into a room with a HUGE window as an obvious escape route😆
😆 Thats SSO: Genius😆😆😆
3) RANDOM Oberoi family dances STILL continuing🤣...matlab ab toh main troll bhi kya karun...I guess yeh log aaj pheron ke beech mein bhi dance karna shuru kar denge😆
What surprised me was that Shivaay showed up there aaraam se...played the happy son, brother partaking in the festivities of his marriage and cheering up his whole family...meanwhile all the while his Anika mission is in the back of his head😆...I guess he needed time to procure Sahil and set the plan in motion...so thoda timepass kar liya family ke saath😆.
Woh bhi aadha adhura sa, ishq mein hai pura sa types😆😆😆 sabke saath naachke bhaag gaya billu😆4) Anika telling Shivaay ki Tia ke bhaagne ke baad use SADMA pahunch gaya hai😆😆...Thank you writers for still keeping her spirit intact here atleast...such an Anika thing to say bindaas Shivaay ke muh pe😆...and he didn't even blink😆...I liked that she told him she wasn't scared of him either...oh and the bit where she told him to share his lame plans with his champu bodyguards cuz she's not hanging around for that😆.
I loved seeing how she was so NOT cowered by him, AT ALL😆
Shivaay was pretty funny in this scene especially when he was maaroing all that sarcasm about Saahil..."Bada khush lag raha hai...uski behen ki shaadi jo hai"🤣.
That was an unexpected well-delivered sarcastic comment, wasn't it?
5) The surprising switch in the last 5 minutes...I didn't expect that and it was a surprisingly well directed and enacted scene again...
Shivaay almost maniacally theatrical in the way he casually indicated Sahil's car being blown up and the subsequent reactions...the way Anika ran towards the burning car and Shivaay instantly switched from playing the role of ruthless, cold blooded blackmailer to absolutely terrified Shivaay trying to stop Anika from hurting herself...that entire set when he holds her back even as she struggles to run to her Sahil, the devastation on her face as she tries to get to Sahil...the way she keeps repeating to Shivaay, "Aap aisa kaise kar sakte hain...yeh humaare beech ki baat thi...ismein Sahil kahaan se aa gaya"...and then the way she switches to hitting Shivaay😆...I thought she'd slap him but she was shoving and slapping his chest instead😆...
I absolutely loved the immediate switch, and all that followed!Surbhi was seriously fantastic in the last scene...and Nakul surprised me second day in a row😆...yeh ho kya raha hai😆...the last bit when Shivaay shakes a devastated Anika and shows her that Sahil is still live and this was basically a threat of what could happen...the transition and interaction there was quite nicely shown...Shivaay was essentially trying to restrain here there more than manhandle her since she was busy shoving him around (woh kaafi hil bhi gaya tha😆) and then the way Anika just collapses in front of him with an, "Aap aisa kaise kar sakte hain? Aap itna kaise gir sakte hain?"...I found it interesting that there was more pain from Anika there than anger...she had been put through so much by him at that point...after all that he had done, there should have been more disgust...instead she was just absolutely disappointed in him more than anything...she expected better of him...and something about that moment where she just breaks down crying and collapses onto his chest...in a semblance of a hug, but not quite...it was a very poignant moment...wherein he was both the reason for her pain and the person she ends up seeking solace in as well...both of them did very well in that last bit...I didn't expect that they'd manage to add a touch of poignancy to Shivika at this point with the way things have otherwise gone down😆.
Nakuul bohot sensitive sa lagta hai, chui mui types, SC must have to be careful while 'man-handling' him😆Kal mili thi na poignancy, ab ek hafte tak kuch nahi milega methinks😆😆😆 sirf post-wedding drama😆
