Episodes 14-16
The last 3 episodes introduced us to Harshad and the Spot track. And these 3 built on the previous introductions.
Highlights of these episodes for me were:
1. Manik and Alya's phone conversation.
Hahahahaha. This conversation always, always has me in splits, no matter how many times I watch it.
Manik and Alya talking dirty to each other, while Nandini kept getting more and more scandalised by the minute. :P Manik enjoyed that certain conversation a lot. And I think Alya must have been surprised by Manik's mood because before that he wasn't really the one to talk in their relationship.
2. Nandu and her scooter.
Big LOL there. How cute did Nandini look while riding that scooter? And the sone pe suhaaga- Manik giving that sly smile to Nandini from his terrace.
3. Nandini discovering Manik's not-so-monster side.
The attack night at Dhruv's place was where Nandini saw Manik in a new light. And this was also when Nandu started thinking about a possible connection between Rishu and Dhruv. (And this again will come into effect in later episodes!)
Things I didn't like very much:
1. Mukti and her mom's scene.
So, it's not the entire scene I had a problem with but one particular part where Mukti's mom reproaches her for changing boyfriends every week and Mukti retorts back saying she is at least not with girls as though it's a bad thing. And this particular part kinda irked me because this show has tackled homosexuality and homophobia very well and Mukti has been shown to be so accepting of Cabir later that this seems inconsistent. And it's a very small line and I am probably laying too much emphasis on it but well, just putting the inconsistency out there. But then again, this character has flip-flopped so much that this shouldn't really surprise me.
Things I absolutely hated:
1. Navya.
This girl has just met Harshad and she refers to him as 'Humare Harshadji', like what the hell even? Navya has annoyed me in these three episodes a lot with her Harshad puran. And that scene in the coffee shop where she changes her coffee order to suit Harshad's- God. I hate girls who change themselves for guys and here, Navya was doing the same for a guy she barely knew. Agreed she grew a spine later, but really? And yes, the coffee part was probably just for comic effect but I guess I'm in one of those moods, where these sorta things are putting me off.
MVP for episodes 14-17:
Harshad, Harshad, Harshad!
I love it how the villains in this show served to bring MaNan closer! Nandini and Manik's first kiss, albeit accidentally, happened because of Harshad! :P I guess, Harshad is going to turn out to be the MVP in a lot of my future reviews! And also Harshad saying 'Woh, bichara Manik try toh karta hai par hamesha maar khaata hai' cracked me up, I don't know why. It just seemed funny. (Very random, excuse me, but my brain is tired :P)
Anyway, that's all I have for now! I'm loving analysing these episodes and putting so much thought into them. :D
I'm just waiting to get to the Store Room episode! :P
