Though ASR and Akash felt a bit out of character it was fun watching them together onscreen. I got the feeling that Barun and Akshay were enjoying themselves and fighting off smiles. Perhaps they had a good laugh about the dialogues and the fact that ASR was teasing Akash about his spectacles coming in the middle of.. Well, ASR would know, since many things have come in the middle of..
But, the "taking ur leave" moment was was so out of place. 2 brothers who have lived closely all their life definitely won't "take your leave".
what am missing in barun's rendition of ASR this time is the subtlety in acting. I seem to recall in one of the interviews he has said that ASR had to convey a lot through the eyes, keeping his face impassive, compared to the more loud and flashy Sukhi. But, in today's episode when the brothers were pulling each others leg, ASR's face had a more direct comic expression than what am used to.
The stark contrast was the impeccably timed, acted, directed and most importantly smartly written moments pre Payash wedding. That scene where Khushi improvises about the suicide note after ASR is confounded by Payal's question is a classic.
The brusque man getting swept into the excitement of a crazy plan laid out by a girl he can't get out of his head. All the heaviness post Diwali forgotten in this dash of freshness and happiness along with a date of chai bicoot. Kuch Kuch hota hai then heralded the flirtateous ASR that left us all with an acidity attack that thankfully never quite cured itself.
With Mami, the shatir businessman trying his best to fix his cousin's wedding which also meant a lot to Khushi. Also the apology that he would give Payal with full sincerity and least amount of dramatics.
In hotstars flawless print the short gelled hair, fresh ASR and young vivacious Khushi.. Loved both the flashback sequences..
