I see that there's mixed reviews of the epis these days for various reasons😆...but for me, for some strange reason, this 'comedy' is working for now...and I think it's because Shivika are in character in their interactions...in such moments, I really don't care about how asinine and riddled with loopholes the whole fake wife Tanya angle is...in those few moments, nothing else matters...cuz the CORE of the story holds for these two.
Yes, there's "comedy" happening, but it's strange how the meaningful moments also get totally bypassed by the audience...I think they are worth noting...like today, in the midst of the "Parda hai Parda" Qawwali, Shivaay had a point to make for all those people who love to keep score in Shivika's story...who did more for whom and when😆...who's love is greater...lol...he made his point in such a simple/heartfelt manner without going into cheesy territory...and Anika beaming at him from the side was adorable...lol taking pride in her Majnu...lol and along the way we get all these wacky moments of the qawwali troupe waali calling his eyes BILLAURI and him going "I'm not Majnu, I'm SSO"😆
And then ofcourse, the one thing they EXCEL at...finding a way to bicker in ANY situation, at ANY place...including inside a plane trying so hard to keep up the facade of a disguise after already being caught😆...Anika's butchering of Urdu continued...driving Shivaay even further up the wall😆...and then him having his own little neurotic tantrums about having to sit in Economy Class😆
And then somehow managing to have a little poignant moment by the end too...what a strange situation to be in...haha she's trying so hard to keep her act going even though she knows he's already caught her and he's still reassuring her even though he can tell she's trying to keep the facade going😆...somehow they make this work...I guess I'd credit NM-SC to a large extent too...they're so A-plus with all shades of Shivika
Lots of madcap comedy today, but I enjoyed the Don and Sundari Bua ke random antics too...and Shivika were so totally themselves in their own zany little ways that it worked for me too :)
