Manik doesn't gesture for Dhruv to take care of it...he looks EXPECTANTLY at Dhruv HOPING he'll take care of it but Dhruv determinedly doesn't look that way...and that is when Manik starts moving forward helplessly to try and help Nandu before Cabir's praise for his "monster" act stops him and he pretends to be proud of his "art work"
Yeah.. I always thought thats what the scene meant too.. Manik hoped D would but he didn't. Looked v irritated when he didn't 😆
