CROONER 150 : Arr-rrr-nav nd Blushes - NOTE pg 56 - Page 8

Friday I loved sanaya ... Because I know offscreen she is a fashionista...she looks good in everything.. But on Friday even in theI western attire she looked like khushi,.. No where sanaya was visible..

Same points I tried saying that the clothes khushi wore is the kind she should have bought... Won't it be weird if she is shown wearing Versace...or it's copy...though the princess outfit was bad.. Very bad..

What I loved in the episode is khushi understood that Arnav was unhappy during movie and the reason behind it... And Arnav understood khushi wants to make up and why...The point is they resolved their issues amicably .. Jab Miya biwi raazi... Now they do it behind blinds in the office..or between sunrise is our guess and cvs have left us to ponder.. Bad cvs..

Coming to the post and the episode, I totally agree Priya. Weekdays, especially the last day of a working girl/student is normally very stressful and after a tiring day at classes and the eagerness to welcome the weekend, coming back to such a light hearted, simple and adorable episode is the best that can happen. And like you mentioned about you being stressed, I was as well ,but the episode managed to lift my mood. I don't really understand what the audience expects from the story. This is Indian television, this show on this platform does not have the kind of liberties any english show would have on any English channel. With such limitations, but yet a to convey a gradual development between the lovers, they need to show moments, which are sometimes, intense, sometimes comical, sometimes emotional and so on, and yet limit it to the character sketch. This is not an easy job. But yet we get an episode each day exploring the story between the couple and each of their characteristics. And the antics by Khushi were just an example of her character. She is as impulsive as Arnav is, she doesn't think twice before doing anything to make others happy, and for her the simplest way to cajole her angry husband was to do what he likes and prefers, because even he did so for her.

And extremely perfectly pointed out by you that a relation with two opposites works in such a way. Both the partners have to come half a way to meet a single point, which just takes the relation to a new level, and strengthens it further.

I loved the moments in the show on friday, from the scenes in the theatre when Khushi is just innocently unaware of her husbands wants and enjoying the movie, Arnav is trying to snatch a moment between something he didn't want to sit through, but will repeatedly if it makes her happy.

The moment when he pins her to the wall and tells her why he is EXACTLY angry with her, was classic, and it took the scene to another level because of Barun's acting. He conveyed Arnav's frustration, anger, but the child like tantrum in that plea when he just gets 'ACHA?' for all his rant 😆 that was the highlight of the episode.

I've already written about the conference room scene, coming to the main scene. The one where he tells her to drop the ji. That scene took their relation a level ahead for me. Because by making her do so, he conveyed to her that there is nothing like one above the other in their relation, they are equals, and hence none has to do anything to please the other, because they love each other the way they are. The moment was beautifully enactedby our leads and the hug at the end of it, and the tum pata hai na... ajeeb hai? pata hai was the cherry on the top for me.

Can't wait to see what is next, but most likely looks like a ride to see the married life between the couple. Though I miss the hard core intensity, but its too early to complain, with the drama just sorted out, I am hoping that when the story does need it, the intensity shall be back as well. 😊

A lovely take on the episode today...restrained and non-judgemental and appreciative of the stand out moments...

I have to say this Priya,for me the hits or misses are always in the writing and it's execution which may be lame and /or lazy in turns but not of it's actors nor of the characters ,cause whatever they are given BS and SI always always deliver...and that makes Arnav and Khushi perfect ...that's all !

150 and more to come...
