hmm...awkwardness analysis...interestingđđ
Ok my analysis points:-
(1) Like many members mentioned here...direction, costumes, music given as bgm or songs that are played (they impact feelings too), the makeup, costumes etc.
(2) I don't think Niti is awkward around Parth or Parth is awkward around Niti. It is just that the track changed so much, the storyline...the entry of new characters (Madhyam, adoptive parents, new boss of Alya..Aryaman who came much towards end of Season 1) all this will have atleast a minor effect. Niti may have prepared herself mentally to the storyline set for Season 2. Perhaps the track may have been something with Madhyam as lead...who knows? I mean...after Parth left...even with all the MaNan memories Nandini may be shown to be moving on and finding a new love in somebody whose voice atleast reminds her of Manik ie; Madhyam. Perhaps that was why Madhyam was brought in as somebody with the voice of Manik, the same guitar playing skills as Manik and a bit of stubbornness a bit reminding of monster Manik specially when he talks to his teachers/Nyonika with sarcasm and all. Plus Fab 3 members + Aryaman+ Madhyam and Nandini...all of them offscreen had too much fun from the start and made those dubsmashes and had a great rapport. So maybe Niti was getting used to that atmosphere and suddenly re-entry of Manik and she realizes that the whole story will get re-created.
Then the whole story has to be re-made as in...putting things in such a way that Manik remains the leading man and there are MaNan scenes. Madhyam has to be sidelined to give space for MaNan scenes...Aryaman should also have a track and scenes which fits in, so what other than a rival to Manik when it comes to trying to him feeling that Aryaman is trying to replace Kabir as drummer of Fab 5 or replacing Manik himself as best friend. So the whole story was to be re-created.
The question is what to do with Madhyam and Aryaman's characters...when they started off Season 2 showing Aryaman in love with Nandini and Nandini trying to find more about Madhyam and the reasons for his loneliness and trying to be his friend???? So the director and writers have to act fast to save the show and re-incorporate Manik into the story. So suddenly Manik re-enters through a dream sequence. So Nandini starts imagining Manik. Then still Madhyam and Aryaman are there...so there should be a track with them. I mean they can't show that Manik comes in...so Madhyam jumps off a building and kills himself or he says since Manik came...my role is over tata bye bye and goes awayđ They must give a proper closure to Madhyam's character.
To put the story on track and bring Manik into it..they brought in the concert...Madhyam singing as lead...Manik arriving...not liking it. When doing these scenes suddenly...the abrupt re-entry of Parth, Niti may not have been able to express as she used to do before. I mean...if U think of KY2 season 1...atleast initial 20+ episodes were Manik-Nandini fight. It was not as if there was romantic chemistry from day 1! đ From fight to love is easy to enact...from love to more love is tough to enact!đ
The romantic chemistry increases...with intimate scenes..scintillating bgms and scenes that brings them closer. They are actors and cannot switch suddenly...they need to feel the emotions and enact them. I mean Parth is a very focused actor (Niti herself said so in one of her interviews and Niti is more distracted and her mind flie around here and theređ as Parth himself stated and Niti also silently agreed to it) so maybe he is great at doing it as in one moment itself falling into the track and enacting with full focus. But for Niti..maybe it takes time for her to get into her role now and the feeling to express exactly. But I can see that she is trying hard.
If we take Season 1..things were in a flow. It was start and she was mentally prepared. Niti had it fixed in her mind that yes Parth is the leading man..so first act as if she is afraid of him...then act as if she is half-afraid of him...half rebellious...then act as if she is willing to bear anything to protect her friend...then half of the charge was taken over by Parth...as in the scenes where he makes her spot girl and all...and then the director put the romance slowly on track. If we take the point at which the romance started...we can almost say it is from the storeroom scene. But before that...we can't completely say that it was romance as it was just an attraction and awkwardness due to intimacy. đ Now count that episode where there was atleast the romantic feel in the scene? It was episode 33 or 34! Till then they didn't look at each other with even a bit of attraction feel! đ
Then after that romance started building up...Nandini drunk and Manik taking her home...was the next interesting scene before romance started actually..when Manik started caressing her and she was reacting to that too and him trying to remind her of what she said in drunk state of being his star. From there music+caressing (tucking hair behind ears...etc) started đ
From there...the diwali episode..where they both are in bed, his hands were all over her...and the kiss on neck and almost about to kiss lips. (Note: the romance was happening in a flow onscreen not out of the blue) Then she asks ...but Alya? So Manik realizes she has attraction to him. Then the scenes after that when he keeps on trying to pull Nandini to various corners and asking her of what is on her mind? What she feels of him? That is when romance started blooming from Nandini's side. So we can say that it's from 37 or something...that cake scene...and note it that its after Manik-Alya breakup!đ So till then Manik and Nandini didn't have a romance going.đ
Now if we take season 2..Manik's re-entry (as in the non-bhootwaali Manik) was in episode 32...now the episode number is 47. Just 17 or 18 episodes hi hue Manik ko aaye. Just one episode ago..Madhyam quit, giving scope for more MaNan scenes. đ Maybe that's why they showed more MaNan romance..till now Nandini is shown to be worried about Manik-Madhyam and Manik-Aryaman faceoffs. đ
If in Season 1...it took 30+ episodes for Parth and Niti to completely enact romance naturally..from hate to love...which was portrayed in a flow...then in Season 2..they should get atleast another 30+ episodes to reach to that point na?? I mean...from love to more love is tougher job. They reached the pinnacle of romance in the jamming sceneđ Now from that pinnacle...sexual tensions are over between them and they are cool around each other...no more awkward and so they can show the natural sort of love as in holding hands etc. The new addition is touching bare waist...which looks a bit ehm ehm..âşď¸ If they had problems...would Niti allow director to put it in such a way that Parth can touch her bare full waist?đ
For gods sake guys..they are not robots or ceiling fans ke switch on...those old expressions and romantic gazes and switch off...friendly looks etc. They need time to get into the feel..and their offscreen intimacy should also return to as before. What they need is more time and what we need is more patience...let them what they are making...atleast they are trying hard. Let us wait to see what's in store. Maybe in another 10 episodes or so...the old MaNan magic will return!đł
