After ages a somewhat dhang ka epi which had some TUK to it...atlast this Rash crap seems to be heading towards some sort of culmination...and they finally seem to have remembered that the Amar case still exists...otherwise RASH CRAP had taken over their brains.
Sigh of relief to see some usual NBT flavor back.
Ok so the bits I'd like to mention:
1) Mohan-Rashmi convo...Rashmi toh gone case hai hi but I really liked Mohan's dialogues in this scene...especially the one where he says, "Rishte hain, Rashmi...unhein nibhaana hota hai"...We saw a very sensible Mohan in this scene as he tries to rationally talk it out with Rashmi and drill some sense into her to not let go of a great guy who loves her...but Rashmi is like a bratty bimbo...who just wants the doll she can't have...I don't blame the actress but I'm sorry I just can't connect with Rashmi's tears or regrets...they are as artificial as they come.
But in all this, I do respect Mohan for the way he handled her...it is not easy to forget a past relationship especially when Mohan seemed to have deeply loved her (beats me why though but that's another story) ...so for the respect of THAT relationship they once had, he gave her sensible advice as a genuine well-wisher and friend...which is much more than she deserves considering the way she behaved with him...but anyways, this just made me respect Mohan more as a character.
That moment when Rashmi directly asks him if he still loves her...and he so could have told her directly that he DOESN'T...but still after all this time, he didn't want to be so directly mean to her maybe...and he leaves it at a diplomatic, "I'll always remember the time we spent together"...
Rashmi is shameless enough to talk like this when she thinks he's married to Megha...toh when she finds out the truth, tab toh pata nahin kya karegi.
I liked that moment after the phonecall when Mohan bows his head in this pain over the emotions he's grappling with...some residual pain of the past with Rashmi...an odd sort of closure it felt like in that moment...and the way Megha is watching him from the side noting his pain...and he looks up and sees she's there...catching him in this moment of vulnerability and instantly turns away...takes a breath, gathers himself and then launches into a rant about his irritation with Rashmi again...it's so much easier than letting anyone see him in a vulnerable state.
Meghaš...Oh what do I do with her...so confident that she knows Mohan's pain, knows the remedy for it...everything...there's a beautiful ironic moment in the scene where Megha asks him if HE knows what he wants and he turns to Megha and says, "Agar chaahne se sab kuch mil jaata toh baat hi kya thi"š...and Megha says that line ki 'Pyar agar shiddat se karo toh zaroor milta hai" and Mohan smiles in irony saying, "Yeh bhi kar ke dekh lete hain"š...Megha has no idea what she just foreshadowed there and is happy thinking she's talking about MR while Mohan is smiling to himself in bemusement at this statement...wondering if it could ever be true for him and Megha.
I didn't get why he thanked her in the end...was it so that he could get that "mini-closure" over Rashmi? And Megha's naively confident smiles indicate she thinks it's cuz she gave him a chance to talk to Rashmi?š
2) Mohan-Nanhi.-Ramanathan: Progress in the Amar case! Kahin main sapna toh nahin dekh rahi? š²...They actually remembered that the Amar case exists apart from this Rash crap? hallelujah!š
When they show Mohan actually doing some WORK other than moping over all the mad females in his life, I feel like crying tears of joyš...anyways enough melodrama...glad to see some progress on that front today...and jab MN saath ho, toh results kaise na niklein?
Seems like Ramanathan was being intimidated by his dracula wife (who btw is not convincing from any angle as being South Indian) But anyways...he did melt a bit when Nanhi spoke to him again so he does have some heart left...I guess he figured out a way to bypass Dracula wife and give a clue in the books he gave to Nanhi...looking forward to how that unfolds.
Precap: So I like that Mohan didn't himself happily show up at Rashmi's engagement...He went there to stop Megha and her hair-brained schemes...but obviously Saint Megha always needs BIG jhatkaas in her life and that's what she'll get ek ke baad ek at this engagement...lolll...so tomorrow might be this Rash drama I guess and Friday ko Mohan ka confession to Megha...let's see.
