Anyway - back to what seems to be coming our way now. Not hopeful much. I guess I should confess I'm not such a fan of the whole need big accident to value kind of scenarios. It doesn't help that the episode with the gunshot set itself didn't impress me much even in execution.Definitely on the slow burner for now - but as always, let's see where this is headed - definitely not for an MM union soon 😆




Neither am I but that's the way Indian TV works I guess...and NBT seems to have been bitten by the "high point" bug big time as well given the fact that they hardly give us much of a respite moving from confession to slap to GUNSHOT to REMARRIAGE.

MM union toh depends how much they will/will not drag the remarriage track...the speed at which they're going right now toh even that track might wrap up in a week culminating in the MM marriage.

I guess if I'd gotten something worthwhile on Friday, I wouldn't feel this bummed out...but I do...yes I guess they will show something or the other that we'll like on Monday or Tuesday but since we KNOW what's coming up VERY SOON on crap Wednesday...Indu's stupid ranting and Megha's mahaan decision..., it dulls whatever little interest I might even have MANAGED to muster *shrugs*


Anyways, you owe me a PM, madam😛...NBT ke baare mein toh waise bhi kya bolun...wish we'd gotten a nice BTS interview or something atleast to tide us over this lame end to the week...but ah well.

My take on the Friday's episode :

Considering the expectations created over the episode with promos throughout the week and what the final outcome was, there's just one word from me regarding the epi .. mehh !! and save the last scene of the epi when mohan gets shot (thanx to KKK fab emoting), it really was. When the spoilers of this episode came out, I actually expected to see a repeat of mohan's " Mission Nanhi Patao " scenes .. but alas, nothing of that sort happened. And to me it's plain shocking. I mean, mohan can undergo the trouble of getting a makeover done just to enter his neighbor's house unrecognized to cajole a 8yr old kid, but he didn't bother to get a minimum disguise done to get into the gang of drug dealers at all !! I mean, WTH was that !! did he take them to be so DUMB ?? specially after such a huge revelation just a couple of days back ?? that was FOOLHARDINESS indeed..infact outright SUICIDAL from a senior correspondent like him, who claims to have undertaken such dangerous missions earlier too !! no wonder the goons soon identify him to be the person that he actually is and runs after his life !!

Khair. The entire Mohan vs drug mafia plot. Extremely poorly written. Yes the set was good enough. But not the plot. Starting from the point mohan manages to fool the watchman and enter the den. I mean, like really, is it so easy to enter a drug smuggler's den by just showing a light bulb dangling from a backpack ?? kamaal hai, I have seen so many episodes of CID but never saw such unique taur-tareeke anyday !! then once he enters, he literally strolls around the place checking things as if he's in a botanical garden and checking out new plants !!*shakes head* and just then when one of the goons stops him and asks his identity, I was totally aghast to see his majnugiri surfacing again in that grave situation.."sab ka circuit thik kar chukka hu .. bas ek ko chodke ." and I was like EEEKKKSSS !! then came the next horrid twist (??!! ) ..electrician BabuRam came to fix a fuse and ended up just setting up a new bulb ??!! I admit that I have absolutely no idea about electric fuses and switches and circuits, but really, is fixing a fuse and setting up a new bulb the same thing ??*headdesks*

Then starts his strolling again and this time he locates some samples of drugs lying open. He picks up a sample and smells them so coolly, absolutely no reaction on his face to the smell of drugs!! And the next moment, BAM, he gets caught.. and the chase begins .

The chase scene was .. well, okay considering that we weren't watching a Bollywood movie, but then I expected some action scenes at least. The camera angles were good particularly at the point when mohan pushes the goons back and leaves behind his backpack on the rooftop..but then as he was running down the stairs and the camera focusing on his feet, I actually expected him to trip over the laces and fall down. Specially given that he keeps tripping on them randomly time to time, par yaha aisa kuch bhi nahi hua .*sigh*

@mohan playing hide and seek in the procession: a clichd concept. After all, it's a common thing to see in films and soaps that the lead seeking cover in processions of some sort. Although I liked the way he consistently kept his guard up and was alert to the dangers lurking ahead.

@shootout scene: a crucial turning point of the story turned into a disaster. Okay I understand what the intent of that scene was .. that mohan was so overwhelmed at that moment to see megha in front of him calling out his name, which clearly certified her care, concern and love for him which she continuously denied but couldn't hide, it was his moment of triumph to see himself being proved right once again, his face beaming with joy and all his attention got shifted to megha that made him put his guard down and forget everything else, even the grave danger to his own life that proved so fatal to him the very next moment.. no wonder megha is going to curse herself over and over again for BEING the SOLE reason for such an incident and try to distance herself from mohan according to the promo, for look at the irony, she actually came there to save him but ended up being THE reason of him getting distracted and shot !! but the big question still remains ' is it really possible( or logical) for a crime reporter, no matter how much he's in love with someone, to let his guard down in a crucial situation like this, specially when the goon is walking straight towards him in his face ?? are concepts of being blinded in love really applicable/appropriate/acceptable here ?? where is his alertness at that moment damn it ??!! and it is this question that turned the scene disastrous for me.

@ aakanksha's acting : well I agree with Maz that she was much better in the "Search Nanhi " episode, she was actually looking devastated and broken down in those scenes as compared to the Friday episode, although the situations with mohan's life being on stake was no less grave. And given that megha is prone to get hysterical in critical situations, she looked rather composed during the bike ride scene with karan. Anyways, moving on to the shootout scene and I beg to differ from the general opinion so far. Just a couple of days back, she saw her husband gunned down on tv and right now, she saw the same being repeated with mohan being shot twice .. imagine the shock she felt at that moment. It's the shock that made her scream out his name with the first shot and freeze with the next one, that made her body go numb and her mind blank in horror , and that showed in her expressions, we as viewers expected megha to react, but megha herself was in no condition to react that moment if you all get what I mean to say. And in reality too, people donot always react vehemently when placed in such situations, they go numb and speechless too. And I feel aakanksha did that scene well enough, so no grudges from me atleast.

@ precap : showed only nanhi informing family of mohan's accident. Good. This means we will get some good MM moments on Monday and that's why they are building up the suspense with no BTS scenes released till now.

@ promo : saw it today evening seems like perhaps my own prediction of the future track may come true unless megha suddenly discovers that FIL had actually chosen mohan as the first choice to be her new would-be-hubby😆. Otherwise I really don't see MM marriage happening anytime soon.

@ kunal - vishesh pic : awww to infinity at the cuteness of the pic😳 !! really looking forward to such good mohan-addu scenes after he recovers. 😳

LOL it's so odd that different things matter to us in different ways...I EXPECTED the entire "sting operation" by Mohan to be dumbly written cuz NBT has never had much credibility in the journalist investigation stuff to begin with...I honestly FORWARDED through most of those portions just like Shamil😆...I didn't even care.

All I REALLY cared about was the last MM scene and the execution of that was a let down to me. Like Maz, Jzee pointed out...I also understood the INTENT of the scene but it's just very very sad that the execution was such a let down and ended up only making me laugh and cringe at how STUPID it ended up looking.


@Polly: Wow hats off to your patience...GOOD that we didn't get a dhang ka precap given that the last scene was NOT upto expectations? LOL...aise "suspense" se toh bhagwaan hi bachaaye...aaj se pehle toh these ppl never felt the need to keep us in this much "suspense"...I wonder if it's cuz they hadn't managed to shoot the full scene by that point.


Re: Megha's expression...well the epi ended within seconds of her "numb with shock" expression so I guess we need to see Monday ko what her full reaction is.

Hello All, am back with my week's synopsis. Ofcourse i cannot do a episode by episode review as Facebook will not allow me to post that .. lol ... so I will talk about the ones that impacted me in the week, that stood out as NBTish.

Now coming to the speculations of a marriage track, i still personally think that it is far off. We still require Megha to first accept the truth to herself, come to terms with the fact that she does love Mohan. Then the guilt trip will poke in, it will not at all be easy for her to accept a marriage proposal. We have the society to think about and most importantly the Vyas family has just started thinking of Megha's remarriage ... they have yet to think ofa groom and am sure due to the dangerous profession that Mohan is in, papaji might not think of Mohan. And lastly Indu has to agree. So having so many road blocks ... marriage is still far!!!!!!!!!!!! So lets relax and see how things evolve between MM and the Vyas pariwar. And we still are awaiting the great Mr Bhatnagar :)

So finally coming to the episodes, the things that caught my attention are the nuances shown in MM's character, how Guru still is such a necessity in Mohan's life and ofcourse him acting as Mohan's wife :), Nanhi's wiseness ispite of being a kid, and the bold Prerna.

Let me start with Prerna. I loved the fact that she is shown running PL and is not moping over Prateek. It feels so good to see a woman take the reigns and continue with her life irrespective of facing such a bad phase. Hats off to her!!!!!!

Nanhi, awww what a sweetheart you are to both your mom and Mohan. I really feel you are clear in what you want and what you think rather than your mom!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the fact that there was continuity on Monday about the baarish, nanhi asking Megha about the rain, how this is the first baarish and how Megha loves the rain :) :) and then she talks about her spiderman. This girl really talks and breathes spiderman!!!!!!!!!!!! So i wonder Megha how will you ever succeed in NOT thinking about Mohan when your daugher talks about him so much!!!!!!!!!! And it was so cute of Nanhi to tie that knot again, i love these small simple but unique things that NBT shows. We can relate to this so much :) So Nanhi dadimaa will continue to be that - dadiamma and a little angle - to both MM. The way she makes Mohan drink that kadha..awww and then the way she says to Mohan ki bachon jaise se harkat karte ho ... LOL ... so true!!!!!!!!!!!! This angle is very much needed for MM in their future journey as am sure they have ample number of road blocks ahead.

Guru bhai, yet another saviour of MM. This guy is a gem really. Sometimes i really do not know what to talk about him, i mean i sometimes fall short of words. The way he understands Mohan even without Mohan having to say anything much, the way he shows his wifey side to Mohan and ofcourse the wisdom that he showers sometimes. I loved the scene where he tells Mohan that things happen for a purpose. I personally am a firm believer of this fact that everything happens for a purpose, nothing is a coincidence. So the letter being misinterpreted as written by Amar indeed has a greater purpose and am sure we will see that in the future. The immediate purpose that i see is that it has sown the seed of remarriage for Megha in papaji's mind and that is a positive sign. So Guru, hats off to you for being there for MM :).

jiji bua is yet another angel. As i had mentioned already on Friday, this lady has used herself as an example to show papaji that Megha should not spend her life the way she is doing now. Loved jiji through and through as her character is the one that is very much consistent.

Coming to that Letter, I loved how Mohan had worded the letter!!!!!!!! I had hoped that the letter will be read by Megha or jiji par i guess papaji has to read it as a thought of remarriage had to be put in him. The letter being found in Amar's, that mood, and also the way the letter was worded; all these could lead to the conclusion that the letter was indeed written by Amar. Bechara Monu was just standing still and taking this all in. I really felt bad for him as he did for himself later when he was sharing his thoughts with Guru. But i am hopeful that if and when megha reads that letter she will know that it is from Mohan. I think that is why Megha was absent at that point and I am sure CVs have different plan in mind regarding this. Let me wait and watch. But I want Megha to read that letter as it is very imp for her to know Mohan's feelings. The letter also made me think again that Amar and Mohan are so similar in many ways. Ofcourse they have their own uniqueness but they are similar in some of the principles. Mohan is impulsive, he thinks about himself, he is straight forward. Amar is a perfect guy, he does things meticulously and wil planning. Mohan is more spontaneuos. And the line in the letter that spoke about Megha's smile, this line is a striaght give away that the letter is not written by Amar :). Anyways, i really did love how this entire scene played out and the significance of this letter. Very significant and beautiful words used by Mohan.

And finally to MM, phew, what shades of nuances shown!!!!!!!!!!! Mohan, on Monday i expected you to be angry, frustrated, but not cry yaar!!!!!!!!! You have the spunk, you are an optimistic guy and hence you are not the one to give up!!!!!!!! So i was so very glad to see that nonchalance attitude of yours towards Megha on the Thursday episode in PL. First of all i loved to see PL :). It just energises me to see that office and its people, brings a smile on my face. So coming back to few more things on Monday, did you guys notice MM's reactions after they came home???? Mohan, in his frustration, was throwing things around and Megha, in her frustration, was cleaning up the mess near the fountain :). So one sort of messes things around and the other cleans things up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is such a balance between them, is there not?????? I loved this aspect of MM's character. As we all know, Megha is in a denial. She is using Amar as a sheild. She is also scared, wants to escape and hence when she was cornered she acted. But can the mind fight with the heart for long???? The things that we do subconsiously is directed by the heart. And that is what we saw Megha doing when she put that kadha for Mohan, when she was fidgeting in office when she heard that Mohan is taking up that mafia case. She is now so helpless that she is just acting as she really feels. When she is thinking she does do what her mind says .. that she loves Amar ... that no one else can take Amar's place. She also mentioned the same fact after she asked Mohan not to go. Then also she said ki nahin rokun to mujhe chain nahin hoga aur rukun to phir se woh galat matlab lega!!!!!!!! Megha, Mohan ko saff dikh raha hai ji, it is you who is fighting and am happy that you are losing it dear. Loved it when Prerna asked ki Amar ke bare mein baat karna hai and she says nahin, Mohan ke bare mein...LOL. Oh Megha, pls accept the fact and you will be in some peace. Atleast tell yourself the truth as you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And by the Megha, when you had a doubt that Mohan is going for this dangerous job because he wants you to admit or make you admit; does this not imply that there is something to ADMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Mohan...just loved the nonchalance andaz in him on Thursday!!!!!!!! His indifference but his knowing the fact that she does feel but she is not accepting. His softening of the eyes when he sees her agitation :). Kunal, you are fabulous, pls keep up the GREAT work. And the best dialog that he throwed at Megha was asking her to claim her "haq". Hamdard nahin hoon aur na hi dost, iske alawa kuch aur hoon to rok lo, main ruk jaunga. This guy is so genuine that he just wants her to accept the truth. He is not asking for anything else :).

Nothing much to say about the Friday episode as it fuzzed out for me as well.

Now about what will happen next...we might have lots of drama where Megha will blame herself as she had called out Mohan, Indu might blame Megha, Megha might distance herself more from Mohan... sigh, more and more drama OR NBT might surprise us with its much used subtelity and take a different path with Megha finally accepting her feelings. Lets see how this proceeds.

Just sent you that PM btw, and it.is.long. - makes up for ALL the delay 😆 Not intentionally, when I do I have to try and overshoot wordlimits?! 😆

Khair - @bold - randomly I want to say, cause in all my saying I didn't ditto you about this. Rangreza was such a fail idea. Again, the intention was obvious. The execution couldn't be worse - specially when I compare it WITH the last time. The tempo just wasn't there. The song, such a soulful song, fell flat, because I was getting TOO annoyed with all those goons missing Mohan for SO many drag minutes and Megha just finding him. I wish they'd shown it somewhat more credibly. Somehow, the only reason Mohan comes off as smart and sharp, is because his inter-personal conduct attests that again and again. The one BIG let down on the part of NBT writers is portraying Mohan as a crime reporter in proper instances. And yes, I do agree Nur, you shouldn't expect the world, because that is not their forte, and not their primary concern - but it was distracting enough for me in that bit. When I just put the facts together, it's too random how one second he was all hiding away (fooling around really) and the next second he was Megha-struck. I wish I could have felt that transcendence in him... and that could have been BEAUTIFUL! That the world around him would dissolve and limit itself to just her face, and her showing up. Instead, it was too abrupt. And I guess the acting - good or bad - came off just as choppy because the flow of the scene was SO much so! And then the shots - talk about anti-climatic!

Khair - it was bad idea to go back watch that scene again thinking I might feel kindly for it second time. Now I know better. Dunno what Monday's got for us - don't feel for Wednesday trailer - but direly, still hope NBT will somehow continue to be happening...

Yesss it was long but super glad to FINALLY receive it🤗😆...Just replied as well.

Re: the scene...lol I still haven't dared to go back and watch it a second time...haha...cuz yeah I don't want to spoil my mood again either given I've managed to finally distract myself with something else😆

But yeah WORD to the bit in bold...maybe they were trying to keep it realistic by not making it a very dramatic moment and keeping in mind that the goons were still floating around...but then they used the music too randomly there...the FEEL of the lyrics deserved more deeply emotional visuals...it's so ironic...lol last time when Rangrez played, I was SO put off hearing it in the precap but LOVED it in the actual scene...and this time I hadn't expected this song of all things and it came out of nowhere and sadly it's EFFECT was totally WASTED...we just DIDN'T feel the HIGH of that moment when supposedly Mohan sees her and is just so overjoyed that everything else fades away for him...I was actually cringing and laughing watching it...and then just felt dismayed watching the shooting bit...cuz the IDEA ofcourse is so sad...he got happy seeing Megha there and his only thought was to get to her that he didn't even see a guy waving a gun like right in his face while Megha is watching the guy make his way over from the side and is just frozen and unable to think or do anything but watch it all play out in dismay too and then BAM he's shot...


Chalo I'm just gonna see how the fallout goes on Monday...maybe I can just ignore this Friday epi in the larger scheme of things ultimately😆

Actually, this whole thing about Mohan getting"shot" didn't sit well with me ever since the promo for that aired. i was like eh that is such a typical JOLT method to make Megha REALIZE her feelings. Personally speaking, i would have preferred that "Tum Bin" sequence that Anu pointed out some threads ago play out between Megha and Amar rather than this. That way they could have saved themselves from making such OBVIOUS mistakes in the "crime reporting" aspect of the story. Besides, they know that Akanksha is much better in subtle emoting which is again why that "Tum Bin" sequence would have been better than this half-baked so called SHOCKING sequence. But ummm this is just me. I don't seem as interested in the upcoming track as much as I would have had something like that "tum bin" sequence sort of realization taken place. 🤔 I wouldn't have minded if it took another 2 weeks for megha to REALIZE with that sort of process because that seemed more plausible to me for the character over this whatchamacallit sequence.😳

Amy, did I ever tell you? I LOVE your random concoctions!!! 😆

Addressing common grouse here, further - yeh, Nur and I just agreed about not being fans of the whole big bang to sense path. But I would have put it past them - even easily - if they'd done it better...

The tum bin kind of track could have been SO MUCH more beautiful. And yes, agree with you, I would not have minded being put another couple weeks on the tight rope watching MM sway in their emotional torrents this way and that! In fact, I think - the sadist that I am - I WOULD have liked that kind of progression time taken! If you pull off evolution of tracks well, they CANNOT seem drag even if stretched over longer time!

Nur - word about Rangreza. Didn't see it coming, and the "surprise" factor didn't work the good way for me!

It's just sad we had no NBT talking to do this weekend, and everytime we do make brief appearance, we just remember what a bummer Friday was. I'd rather just forget it happened and move onto Monday if they could pile it with some GOOD scenes. Transiently, for a GOOD Monday, I could even shut my mind off where the track itself is headed! I just feel so deprived of vintage NBT - Friday is JUST not the day they should dish half baked episodes to us!

What I'm well wary of is getting too much Indu tomorrow. 😳 Pray to be wrong... but it just seems inevitable if by Wednesday Megha is going to decide marriage is her new escape route! 🤓 Khair - since it all feels quite flat atm, I guess, we don't have to worry about expectations for once!
