Loads of people have done the episode review and I will add my bit there.

So lets talk about the changing equations we saw in today's episode.

Lets start with the most important and obvious of Manik and Dhruv, Manik does not do well with emotions, we have been told that over and over again. In the scene after the punch from Nandu, Dhruv tells Manik that the anger looks good only on Dhruv and not on Manik, suggesting that Manik does not really explode usually. Cabir also mentioned to Mukti that its when Manik goes all quiet, that things become bad and right now thats exactly what has happened. Manik is putting on a show of things being okay and Dhruv being Manik's BFF knows that things are not right. However Manik can only sort out things with Dhruv, if they sit and talk and Manik is in no mood to do it and Dhruv is not the type to force the issues. So problems that could actually be sorted out have been built up with them not communicating, in a way ManRuv are learning to function independently of each other, but I really think the friendship will sustain but for that to happen I think Fab5 needs to have a big blow-out.

Harshad-Navya

We are slowly seeing that Harshad is becoming more and more agitated with Navya and her questions.While he was handling her with her a lot more care earlier, he is increasingly becoming more frustrated with her questions and for the right reasons. Harshad has only offered friendship and its really not his fault that Navya wants to make something else out of it. But Navya too is becoming disillusioned with her Harshadji dream.

Manik-Alya

I kind of find it very telling that Alya needs the rest of the Fab5 to force Manik's hand into talking with her/ dancing with her. Honestly I only see more heartbreak for Alya because Manik really doesnt seem to see her in the romantic angle anymore,Alya's face kind of gave us a story when she tried to make Manik dance in the precap.

Ill come to the rest later.

Because I'm too tried to write, I just cope and paste what I write in Shelly's thread and will expand it here:

"Professor Nandu, keep giving me leassons, Its fun" winks Manik.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just want to start with Manan scenes

Fab 5 scene

1) Nandu walks slowly and sits down. Manik, being the wannabe monster that he is, makes comments trying to provoke Nandu but Nandu doesn't bite until Manik being childish (why manik **rolleyes**) and causes Nandus forehead to bleed. Manik's facial expression were epic: when he saw the blood he froze and immediatley looked at Dhruv to help and pleading him to save his bad-boy image. He was about to help because that wound was killing him until Cabir opened his big mouth and applauded Manik 😡

Rose was really sweet here, no matter what she speaks her mind 😆 but sherni Nandu was ready to give her piece of mind and put Manik in his place about getting cheap thrills over someone elses miresy. Notice how Manik actually doesn't stopp her so much, I think he is actually loving the interaction and I think he actually looked alittle pissed at Dhruv when he said time-up. It's like when Nandu left he walk around cabir's drums 😆

The paint scene

2) Yeah that was my favourtie, they are starting to sound like a couple, bickering Manan "so prof Nandu will teach us" Nandu "does Manik Malothra ever listen?" 😆

Did you guys notice the fine detail of the last scene..how when Manik touched the wound and then to Nandu's lips with the hiss and Manik's eyes" 😳 With the risk of posting something inappropriate, Manik's eyes looked like he was drowning 😳 in Nandu's wounds and lips. 😳 And the awesome BG music. Manan fans, we are in for treat in next weeks musicanas, for sure 😳 And the wink, I'm still at that wink, it was like Manik telling Nandu "Hey babe, you keep them coming, I'll be here to catch you" 😳

I also wanted to say, did you notice the difference and the similarities between Dhruv-Nandu-Manik, and Naavya- Harshad-Mukti.

a) Both Manik and Harshad annoyed their girls and left an impression on the Dhruv/Naaya

b) Both Manik and Harshad didn't want to speak abou their attraction towards their girls.

c) Harshad grabbed her waist and Manik tripped Nandu.

About Manik and Dhruv, I do hope their friendship will survive this soon, which I am sure will happen after musicana, and Alya is just setting herself up for the fall, she should come out and say it, this is no closure for the poor girl, although I didn't like her one bit when she laughed at Nandu's bleeding.

Ah CC you got them all right.⭐️

I feel fab5 are emotionally closed off individuals, they don't do well when they have to confront their emotions or confrontations. The bond between them must have started because they all hide their real self and the "act of pretending" has been their glue. Although now they share genuine friendship, bonding and love but they just don't have faith in these emotions enough to trust each other with secrets. They need a big bang to sort themselves and realize what they truly feel for each other. This false castle of friendship build with the bricks of bullying/power needs to go down so that a real friendship with emotions can develop.

Nandu was spot on when she said they feed on the fears they generate in their preys. thats their coping mechanism , they need to feel powerful to numb their vulnerabilities.

Good for Dhruv and Manik though, they are friends for life and will remain so but they do need to get out of each other's space a bit and trust each other to do things individually. I feel eventually they will communicate and it needs to be filled with passion and emotion to get their essence back. Till then , happy to see them as individuals in their own right.

Manik is closed off probably worse than others, he numbs his emotions and is mechanical. Apart from Nandini , rest have just allowed him to be and what she has done to him, has awakened a sense of "feel" in him.

Harshad-Navya

He is getting frustrated with so many things, music not happening , Fab5 still together and then add the over-eagerness of Navya. The mask will slip and frankly he needs to tell Navya off because that girl has no tact and sense. Although now she is sensing the shattering of her illusions but probably still in denial.

Alya-Manik

I think Alya's first thought is to use this "pretend" time to win back Manik but that is not happening because emotionally Manik has sealed the door. She is somewhere similar to Navya and is in denial. Perhaps she would continue to be in one till she sees Manik moving on. Which would be very unfortunate and sad, I just hope she comes to her senses soon and start breaking away from her Manik world.

You know what I think this break is good for both of them, to discover their individual selves, both of them need this, Manik is too much of a protective hen and Dhruv too passive, letting Manik take the lead, as much as I love ManRuv, the unit,I think finally it will be nice to see Manik and Dhruv as individuals. It will only make their friendship stronger, any relationship be it love or friendship, evolves and changes with time. Manik and Dhruv have always grown together and for the first time, they are at different emotional stages. I would draw a parallel to Alya-Manik's relationship, which is also facing the same questions but Dhruv unlike Alya knows Manik in and out and vice-versa, I think Manik Dhruv will be fine in the long run, but this journey is also about them finding themselves as individuals.

Manik is closed off probably worse than others, he numbs his emotions and is mechanical. Apart from Nandini , rest have just allowed him to be and what she has done to him, has awakened a sense of "feel" in him.

Manik does not believe in dealing with emotions, there is a lot to be explored about his relationship with his mother and I guess a lot of answers about Manik and his views on life will come from there. To a large extent I think caring for Dhruv, gives Manik a purpose in life, he puts so much passion into it and while its beautiful to watch, it is also unhealthy, later on in life, you will have other relationships taking precedence, like being a father for example and if one person is unable to accept that, it will be disastrous

Harshad-Navya

See I don't get Navya at all, while I am all for a woman trying to go and get her man, not at the cost of losing your self-respect.If you dont respect yourself, no one else will be inclined to.

Alya-Manik
I think Alya's first thought is to use this "pretend" time to win back Manik but that is not happening because emotionally Manik has sealed the door. She is somewhere similar to Navya and is in denial. Perhaps she would continue to be in one till she sees Manik moving on.

I agree, Alya definitely thinks the proximity of dancing with her will make Manik rediscover feeling feelings for her. The problem is Manik has been emotionally sealed off from her for a while and she is yet to acknowledge that and therein lies the problem. There is no quickfix to this problem, the only way Manik and Alya can resolve their problems if they sit and actually talk but when was the last time they did this? I dont blame Alya for trying here, after all breaking a relationship of 7 years, no matter how early it started is a lot to deal with. Sometimes you just cling onto a relationship, no matter how much its not working or how bad it is for you, just because of the years you have invested in it, even if your mind is telling you you are better off without it. I know this very well😆

Mainly it's Manik who is changing.🤗

He is changing for the good...in the broader sense he may not be but in hearts of hearts he is.❤️ And thus the equations around him.

Hola catty!

I am still not over that paint wala scene, I've been watching it again and again for some time now.😆 His attraction towards Nandini is getting way too obvious now, I am surprised no one else has really noticed it, especially Dhruv. But then I guess Dhruv himself is confused regarding his own feelings. He is realising he likes and cares for Nandu in ways more than a friend would, but I don't think he will act upon his realisations anytime soon, knowing him. Nandu's dialogue about some friends always remaining friends is significant, almost like foreshadowing that their relationship might not take a different turn, at least in a mutual manner.

Manik is trying hard to keep his facade on, but not very successfully and I guess he himself knows that he is failing. That, I think is why he refuses to talk, even to Dhruv, because he knows if he starts talking about it, he won't be able to hide behind the mask of 'Monster Manik' that he is so comfortable with.

About Manik-Dhruv friendship, there is no real danger there yet, their relationship is too strong for a simple misunderstanding to do any major harm. But in a way this small fall out, for lack of a better word, could actually help them to see things in a different light and deal with their feelings on their own first.
