Couldn't find an overall discussion on the last epi. So here goes.
Ok, I'm going to first discuss Sameer and get that out of the way! I guess I'm not as..as affected by what he did. I mean, of course it is wrong on every level. But do I want Sameer to do the right thing? I think I like Sameer in all his shades of grey. Well, yes today he did cross into the black. But...that's what makes his character interesting - he's not your typical, ethical hero. He's going to do whatever it takes to settle the score - hurt Avni and himself in the process. If he was ethical then what would be the difference between him and Varun? The whole point is the contrasts between the brothers, and the contrast between the dark horse of today and the knight in shining armour of tomorrow. Sameer is an anti-hero, but not without heart. And that's what will make him interesting to watch.
And before legions of people want to throw tomatoes at me for being of this opinion, please know that I do not condone Sameer's behavior in anyway - it was wrong, wrong, wrong! What I'm saying is, that's exactly the point. He's supposed to be wrong. Hope that made sense.
Oh, and I love the Mere haath mein song from Fanaa!! One of my faves! Glad they used it but wish it had been on PriDa instead!
Ok now Sameer out of the way, I can focus on what I love most about this serial!
PriDa - We already knew she'll be shooting each Prithvi wannabe down with some excuse or another. But I never thought she'd openly be so shallow and prejudiced by rejecting based on shoes, hair, sloppiness! This is called discrimination woman!! But why am I surprised, after all the Gujral household ain't known for working by the books. I mean an employer asking an employee whether he's thought of marriage, whether he's into anyone at the moment, and whether he will marry her daughter - when he clearly looks uncomfortable with these questions - is called harassment in other countries! LOLZZZZ!!!
Anyway, back to PriDa. So, each candidate is shot down based on non-job related criteria. Damini looked like she was in a candy store and din't like any candy on display. So she pouted and couldn't be pleased. All she wanted was the one piece of eye candy she couldn't have! And what eye candy!!! Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! His exasperation with her, increasing with each new stupid reason she came up with was just HOT! His "is she for real!" look at her was HOT. But beneath the exasperation, I am willing to bet there was an amused streak, and also just for a moment, wild delight at her calling him Perfect!
So Prithvi doesn't know what she thinks of him. Dude, it's simple math:
You said, we aren't looking for groom in whom you look for perfection + She said, but you are perfect = You are perfect shaadi material!
But I have to say that the Prithvi Ila convo happened exactly as I had hoped it would. I didn't want him to say Yes. I wanted him to say that he cannot give an answer until he knows that Damini concedes to this. And that's exactly what happened. In this way, he is implying a yes, without directly saying it. I din't want him to say Yes to Ila for three reasons.
First, I don't want his position to be weakened by him having said yes before she, secondly, if Prithvi says Yes and then all of them are trying to get Dami to realize and say yes - its as though they are all plotting against her, even Prithvi - and I so don't want that! And finally, I want the yesses or noes to be told to the person in question, not through their mom!
Another thing has become very clear to me. In addition to the cameraman and tailor, even Ila has developed a huge crush on Prithvi! What Damini should be saying and thinking, her mom does!! Mein tumhe bahut pasand karti hoon Prithvi! Ab tum jaisa doosra bodyguard milna toh...(looks him over)..thoda mushkil hai! Haahhahaahh!
Jokes aside....Prithvi on the dark horse was hot as ever. Prithvi by the fence....brewing and stewing, turning and twisting this way and that was....ab kya bolon! All I want to say is what a lucky lucky fence! Soon I'm going to have to make a list of all the inanimate objects I want to be!!!
