I read comments from some of you guys regarding the genre of IB (Funny as the discussion may have been). To me it is firstly comedy. It was the real comic element that got me hooked to the show. Be it Rudra's comical one liners, be it Saahil's darwaaza thod ideas and thoughts or Anika's khidkithod language.
Continuing in the realm of comedy, today's episode as high as it may have been on emotional and appreciable performances did have some elements of comedy (as unintentional as it may have been). I am no student of medicine, but would still question a doctor constantly holding his stethoscope to check a patient that is dying, or using electric paddles on the clothes of a patient, or the power of magical tears. I will look past these anyway since I watch this show as a comedy as it is and can therefore take these things in stride... and what do the writers like to call such stuff?... Errr, creative liberty! Chalo, grant kar diya creative liberty.
Setting these aside, such powerful and brilliant performances by almost everyone who appeared on screen today (barring the doctor of-course).
Highlights
1. NO NB's IN THE ENTIRE EPISODE
2. Loved how Om and Ru took a stance for Anika. I loved it when Om said that he knows his brother well, and knows what is good for him, or even the fact that for the first time Ridra spoke against an elder in the house. Such joy to have such devars.
3. Pinky was a fierce mother today. She was willing to do anything to keep her son safe, and would stop at nothing to keep her son safe. Her performance was brilliant. I appreciated her voice modulations etc and her complete rejection of any logic in that situation. He son was in danger, and she had to save him. She was very good today.
4. I felt for Pinky today. Maybe she truly wants to do what is good for her son. Or so I thought till the end of today's episode. She could see that Shivaay shares a special connection with Anika. That Anika is special to him somehow. But she refused to accept it. I failed to understand her reason for pleading Anika to leave at a time when Shivaay is still out of danger. I would have expected that the skeptic in her would have Anika wait atleast until Shivaay was out of danger, because she did save him now. But Pinky still asked Anika to leave. A bit surprising and a bit disappointing.
5. Anika was brilliant. Throughout the episode she was just excellent. I don't know what else to say. That scene where she sat by his side holding his hand, caressing his face was so endearing.
Lows
1. I knew they had to be by Shivaay's side. He was still their primary concern. But I had hoped that atleast one of the devars would stick by Anika too. Poor girl was sitting all by herself. One of the brothers could be with her I think
2. I am wondering why Prinku has not been shown at all. Like she is his sister.
3. I was a but surprised when Shakti took Tej to sign the administrative formalities. I dont have an opinion about it, but it was like whatever.
4. Where were OmRu in that scene when Shivaay started getting sick? They stick by their brother like glue normally. Now he is sick and in the ICU. I would have loved it if they also witnessed what daadi and Pinky did.
5. The tear therapy 😆
That is it for now I guess...
