Dude, take a moment to appreciate how we had out own personal moment with Bira after the CabIni. He talked to US! He looked us into the eyes and told us how he just mindf**ked Nandini into thinking about her Monster at night so that the Monster will haunt her dreams.
And they gave my ManBir scene right after the CabIni -- Such cruelty!
He told her to not think, knowing that she would.Unlike him, she still has hope, the relationship still has hope so how can she let go.She says, okay! You are right, I will do it. But he knows that she can't.Because as he said, saying it again and again is not enough.You have to let it go.
Cabir calling Manik a monster, telling her to not think about him.The last part be so cute, You KNOW who I am talking about right? And her confirmation, yes obviously she knows.
One moment he is so going some random song, next moment there is sass, Your and Manik's chord! The invisible chord that connects two people.
No, I am talking about me and Raghav -- And there comes the honesty and the Trust!
Cabir trusts her -- He vouched for her to be their manager.We have worked together before, she is very resonable.I don't think she is ever unreasonable, she is perfect!
If someone is going to manage this Impossible, Pain in everyone's ass, Fab5 then he will trust her with it.
So fruit punch drink for her.
And the mutual respect -- He talks, she listens and understands.He says complex shit and she gets it.He knows what they are talking about, she knows they are talking about.And this relationship is based on honesty and understanding from both sides and bluntness -- that is the basis of CabIni.They are special because they might be different but not really! Two kindred souls coming in contact finally!
He is not only Manik's friend who just want him to have his girl.He sees her as an individual, she is her own person in his eyes.She had to make her own decisions and choices in the end.There is respect from both sides.
ManBir made me want to hide away my boys from the world just like how they were hiding in their own little bubble.Who knows what they were talking about before Manik fell on the bed after having his drink.
Tu So Gaya? Per Mujhe Jaagna Padega.He is mature and sensible, he thinks and thinks about the right things.He has to work hard to get his life back on the right track.He has lost almost everything, he has his Fab5 and he has his music.What he cannot get back, he lets go but what he can gain back, he will try to gain it back even if he fails.In the end, at least he can say that he tried his best.That is what he has always done, hasn't he?
He can't go home because his mom is ashamed and his bro, Baba understands why he can't go home.He can't live with his head down to make his mom happy because she is the one who said that life should be lived with head held high.
Whatever Mukti,Dhruv were thinking about Auntie after this -- Manik is different.He knows that she is still the same auntie who gave them home made food to eat and encouraged them, he wonders how a life without Auntie will be.He gets Cabir and his situation.He doesn't project his own relationship with his Mother on Cabir because he knows the difference.
The same way, Cabir doesn't project his own relationship with Raghav on Manik and Nandini.For Cabir, there is no hope.He is hurt but moving on.But it is far from over for Manik and Nandini, it hasn't even started yet and he sees that.So he won't let a repeat of his own incomplete love story happen with his Bro and Bro's Babe.
And kameena friend won't forget about any deals you make just because you are being so nice to them okay? So talk about the Band Aankhon Waali ... kya scene hai?
And the vulnerability, the openness and something other than anger and stubbornness on Baba's face.This honesty floors me.He is growling and snarling, snapping and shouting in the open.He is on edge and he lets everyone know.He warns Nandini to not instigate him to be he was before he met her.He is angry, stubborn and confused.He can't even bring himself to call it love and still this 'end', this 'over' hurts deep.He is extreme, his feelings and decisions are too.He is too stuck on the 'she left me' part to really give a thought to 'why?'
Then he is home, sharing drinks with his bro, and he is mellow.He is tired, injured and sleepy.He is quiet and soft.So bare because its his bro.He is just some guy who doesn't even realize he has a broken heart.
"Pata Hai Cabir ..." he starts and the confusion, the despair is so transparent.
The quiet room, two friends, harsh truths, sadness, equality, helplessness and honesty.And the genuine affection, concern and most importantly, the trust!
I don't think that ManRuv going back to being how they were after they sort their shit will ever compare to ManBir.They have gone very ahead, have been there for each other through too much deep shit and have made each other smile and laugh when they needed it the most and this is too special in its realness now.They have completely won over my heart and there is no space left.
This time, Cabir asks to think.Soch.Think about the why? She left! But why did she do that? What made her take this decision.
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
Mangal Lakshmi
