Just woke up, watched it again and now the review. And what a time to do so. 😳

I liked it for many reasons more so because they kept it so simple and yet in context.

MaNan - That phone call, on point where they both have pretty much locked each other's response and behaviour pattern .

NavShad- Never cared for them , never will. But gotta say one thing they cannot have Harshad and not play him around this bit , because as much as it's Navya's reality check -her story, harshad too plays a very important role. Before he goes bat-shit funny on fab5 , he needs to sort this .

Navya - They really want to make a strong b-story. Cabir's words, her own fancies and Harshad's return. She has me interested for a bit now. Her story in the initial 100 episodes have been around Harshad. And he too was played through her a lot. We might have different views but that was their arc all along. So basically it's a shout-out to the cherished earlier episodes

Alya- Again continuing with her eating disorder .

^Like how they are giving genuine good tracks to the other characters.Lets hope they execute it well. We wanted tracks for other characters, I guess they did decent by laying the foundation. MaNan were pretty much the b-story today.

MaNan- I like the light tone to how they are handling her trauma and recovery. That smile exchange was cute, this guy once cracked that gandhi joke, googled coffee,w rote 100 sorrys - so very point. I loved when she said she is came for him. Princi and everyone told her to take few days off but he is a huge part of her support system and right now she is using their love to regroup . That bit where she quivers on phone-ring- Nice, nuance.

Dhruv-Dart game.

Whos track was it? Not MaNan but Dhruv's.

He needs to apologize but that doesn't take away what he said. We all wanted to punch him, kick him at times. And he used that technique and confessed that he was an ASS , so please take out all the anger you have for me through this game. Smart, smart stuff- sort of games we have at work when those Inspirational coaches come to spew about anger management. His sorry after this will elevate him. To accept his own Assy behaviour is Major. Props Topi boy, go play splitsvilla now.

MaNan

Umm , light , breezy and sub-text. (less-screen space too)

But before that I would like to talk about Nandu's reactions when Dhruv tells her to try the darts, she is unassuming, doesn't want to dwell and is not ready to confront. And Manik's awareness of it- Score MaNan.

Liked how open they are about their equation. Nandu saw how it might be uncomfy for Manik and she accepted for the game. Her encouragement, the hand holding -that was brilliant, she is warming to his touch on HER OWN TERMS. Return of the Ishq Bulavva, kinda like how they are retracing it subtly . it's all about knowing the new Nandini- that Cabir spoke about. This Nandini is not the same, her perception is altered, which is why I will never compere her opinions before to now. She pretty much said it that she has lost her judgement, her opinion on stuff.

Dart game for me was for Dhruv and they used it to start Nandu's willingness and comfort at his touch. 😆

Loved the background teasing by Fab 5. CaBIni be nice and warm.

Navya-Manik usual. There was genuine bonding between the group.

Dhruv-Manik scene

I like how Dhruv is not dumping down on Manik, I know it's to write off Uttu for the time being but nice to see that the self-respect he wanted, he actually is trying to handle his problems on his own.

Precap- I hate assuming . So.

But she didn't say she is going forever. She is allowed days off to recuperate and she just wants to be alone for sometime and regroup. Space. But this is MaNan , Manik will always be there, as long they keep this sensitivity and let it be about her - Mangalore or no Mangalore doesn't matter.

I hate Adults on this show. But Amms is pretty harmless- she is dense, unaware but comes from a good place as far as her concerns are considered. If they play this track well, I only hope they don't make it about Manik but more about Nandini and let us in.

And on her terms. For him yes but at this point , only he knows her struggles, her pain so this is her way of healing , using their love to overcome her fears.

Reacquainting the touch is the whole point na, hence Ishq Bulavva song. Smart stuff that.

I am actually happy how they wrote the Dhruv break- gotta credit them for that . Uttu would have never nailed the dialogues but by conceding himself as a loser and having other call him names, it sort of did well for now.

I liked that they are being consistent with this. If she keeps talking about her figure to Mukti, I have a feeling that Mukti might be able to tell that Alya is suffering from this disorder and maybe help her out with it.

MaNan scenes were definitely on the light-end note today compared to the scenes last week. They are nicely transitioning, IMO. Loved that poster scene. They were just adorable.

Dhruv-Dart game.

Whoever came up with this game idea - I liked it! 😆

Dart game for me was for Dhruv and they used it to start Nandu's willingness and comfort at his touch. 😆

I loved how Cabir joked about asking for Manik's permission when they want to have a conversation with Nandu. That was nice. It kind of shows that in the future, Manik doesn't need to be there for Nandu to bond with Fab4. She can do that on her own. She is now part of their family as well.

.

I never really hated Amms even when she was here during Pandit track. 😆Her concern was genuine and I didn't feel she was OTT. First impression matters - she saw Manik punching Dhruv and others badmouthing him. Obviously, she will feel that Nandu's choice is wrong. Also, Nandu sneaked out to meet Manik that night and Amms caught her - who wouldn't be mad if they caught their grand daughter sneaking out in the middle of the night to meet that same boy? Then also, I felt she was strict and she left a nice letter for Nandu.

Well - I hope that at least, Ams will find out about his favorite student and how Manik saved Nandu. I don't know where they are going with this - so lets see - I will be a happy viewer if they keep it about Nandu as it should be like you said.
