I am falling more in love with this show. I think.
First scene would be my favourite for many reasons.
Cabir, Mukti and Alya
Not only they shared their secrets, fears , life issues but the way they genuinely wanted Nandu to reclaim her music. Nandu's gratitude for them, today they actually became her friends. Alya-Nandu nice, Mukti-Nandu finally some depth. Thing is while for them Music helped to numb their hurt , for Nandu it's the music which is her fear. i really liked how this not only gave us an insight to Alya, Mukti and Cabir's life but it actually helped establish Nandu's dynamics with them away from Manik.
Very rare for a desi show. You could actually see how far these guys have come from running away from the realities and fears to now sharing it with someone to heal her. I really like how this week all these characters are re-booted . Ayaz was looking so fresh this whole week.
Manik-Nandu
See the thing is he wants to re-introduce music , he is trying hard but there is no breathing space for Nandu. She knows what her fears are and changing instruments won't take away.
Aryamaan-Harshad
I liked. Nice work, i actually prefer this . It keeps the conflict very college-level. Aryamaan is not the antagonist , Harshad is. The former is just being used and right now he has his instincts telling him to back out. I don't know how much Manik heard them but he knows Harshad and Aryamaan be bonding. Arya backed out from ManShad stare. I think a music based conflict is coming. The conflict is the old one-Harshad vs fab 5.
CabIni
Cabir tells Nandu how much Manik is hurting to see her life this and she would have to fight for him. Nandu tells him that she is drained out, exhausted right now . But she realizes just how much it is hurting Manik .
Last scene
Nandu asks Manik how much he is hurting and he says it doesn't matter. She tells him that she wants to go to regroup , gather herself and alone ( this dialogue is so very rare on desi show).
I feel she is right too- girl does need time-off. She isbeing normal but to reconnect with music , it has to be on her own. She asks him to let her go and not follow her to Mangalore. He pulls her back- and well back hug, snuggling in the neck stuff. She is not flinching or pushing him. he even manages to kiss her side head . He tells her how she didn't remember Pandit when he was close and she needs him. But she uses blank promise and goes away.Here is how I see it, Nandu is not leaving him but her struggle with Music is her own, she cannot connect with Music right now and the more Manik is trying , i feel it's suffocating her. As far as intimacy is concerned , she has almost recovered , with him today she was more relaxed and well it was very gradual. I like how her whole recovery is so music based now.
Precap- Smart Smart stuff writers. Manik brings Mangalore to SPACE. He wants Nyo to allow Nandu's Amms to conduct Classical music workshop. Boy keeps his promise and the girl stays. By looping in Amms - they are making Nandu's music thing all about her . While Manik can go and play Harshad,Harshad among other things.
Whatever the show is doing, for me right now , it's very very refreshing . To reboot and manage to still maintain that connect. Kudos. Keep at it ,Show. FC scars be healing.
