haha so just like MaNan we all thrive on conflict?😛😆


@blue: Yes, the missed kisses should convey a growing sense of intimacy rather than appear ROUTINE...getting routine is when things start going downhill.

@Eveline: LOL everyone's just getting very sensitive here...trust me, no one is "writing them off" on the basis of the missed kisses...just that the frustration is valid...so it's not fair to put ppl down for criticizing the obviously repetitive nature of the missed kisses.


If that first kiss was supposed to be a one off deal, then why do they keep flashing it in our faces via FBs? LOL it's like jale pe namak chhidakna...that is why ppl feel like Manan fans are being taken for a ride...ki just for publicity they milked that kiss and now they are suddenly acting prudish about it.


Thing is, they HAVE demonstrated via their writing that everything b/w Manan has had a purpose, a build up...all the throwbacks to trust, communication, the fireflies, the stars...the fact that these are reiterated over and over again leaves one to inevitably wonder if they will follow up on the loop regarding the kiss as well.


People aren't harping about that kiss simply cuz it was a rare proper kiss on Indian TV...it's the fact that the kiss had so much MEANING filled in it...it was such a meaningful moment for Manan and close on the heels of that everything got ripped apart thanks to the Manik sacrifice track...so if this loop of lingering trust and communication issues is really to be closed, it needs a kiss like that to show the depth, the MEANING of it again.


We all speculated so much regarding when that peak of trust will be reached b/w MaNan again...instead somewhere in all the need to fill in drama into the show now, MaNan and the depiction of intimacy b/w them is becoming routine rather than being a part of the BUILD UP of the story...that first kiss was a defining moment not for the intimacy but for what it implied...they need to follow that gameplan with regards to any kind of intimate moments b/w MaNan in general...that is what sets them apart...not the number of kisses/almost kisses they have...but the fact that any intimate moment b/w them has MEANING in it and isn't thrown in for the heck of it.

@Red - Soon conflicts be boring and we will be have to try normal ,to balance it out. Perhaps this is our "normal". 😆

Friday had a jarring note not only because they were repetitive,technically not executed well but they failed to transition seamlessly. Like I said , A+ for writing but something you do need to make it work on the screen. I enjoyed his calming down scene way more.

THIS...Transition was DEFFO a problem and the lack of consistency vis a vis Nandu's reactions...random mopey selfies one moment, smiling as Manik tries to kiss her the next...

Which calming down scene are you talking about? The first time they played Jeena Jeena? *sigh*...that was just so pitch perfect...writing, acting, directing, feels, song...everything so beautifully in sync... I think that was the last epi which really made me want to gush properly...since then it's been very hit or miss.

@Eveline - We all understand that this show has been special in regards how they treat and execute their story. I am sure we all are well-versed with how desi tv works, so I take it we all understand the elbow space you mentioned. But here the problem is ,even if the writing has been good, the scene has had meaning , yet the impact has become repetitive because of these kiss misses, doesn't help the cheat kiss was very shabby which meant the impact or the idea behind it was diluted considerable.

@AY - That scene when he is about to blast at Dhruv but he just glances at her and then smiles, winks and calms down. It atleast showed that he remembered how she doesn't like his gussa and tried her technique to calm down.

Transitions were bad, the Pandit came and the next moment we were back to stage thing. I guess Soha's exit should sort it . She be the bad omen in lot of ways.

OMG you know I didn't even realize he WINKED at her until you just told me...had to go back and watch the scene😆...see that is what I'm saying these moments are so fleeting stuffed in b/w all the other running around happening in each epi that sometimes they don't register or make as much of an impact😕


And yes, Soha ka saaya jabse padaa hai, show ki band baji hui hai...I'll breathe a sigh of relief the day she exits and hopefully they bring Harshad back instead of dragging out Pandit ka cameo like Soha too😕

@AY - Watch it probably the best scene of the lot , also I liked how he anticipated her palat and had the smug yet pleased look on his face, just after she leaves for the class. These scenes were far more "them" .

its so big but so happy u made o ne on sunday, but caution me, if u have danted manik anywhere, i am not reading it, otherwise all my time is for uuu no for yr topic 🤗

I don't know about Harshad coming soon , for that you need stable united fab5 and happy MaNan, also resolve Navya's pregnancy in some way. Thing is till musicana we had N4s vs fab5 which kept them all constrained now these characters don't have a common intercepting point story wise. This album could have been one , had it not been for Soha's creepiness . I say bring another music contest after Pandit and then Harshad's return .

Oh I did notice the palat bit but dunno I somehow missed this wink of his😆...and now after watching it, I got such deja vu of that pre-musicana scene when he was just giving her these smug looks as she gestured for him to come over for his performance😆...similar look he gave her in this scene when he bobbed his eyebrows at her after the wink...this kind of playful banter is always welcome...but I guess somewhere we all miss the intensity b/w them as well...and in the juggling that Manik does b/w Fab 5 and Nandu, sometimes the impact doesn't fully come through.


Re: Pandit...the only reason I'm wary is that they will pull a Soha regarding him and just stretch out his psycho track as well for months on end...that will be too much then...if they keep it to the point vis a vis him getting Nandu to be more responsible about her goals in life and we get jealous Manik as a bonus, fine...but yet another psycho close on the heels of Soha is just too much.


Atleast with Harshad, there is history to explore.
