Pandya Store|Episode Discussion Thread #20 - Page 43

Also, let me just repeat how blissful I feel at watching my fav Saas-Damad duo go at it again 🤣

I had no enthusiasm to continue watching but woke up and saw the good response, went in for ShiVi but this is what refreshed me the most ❤️😆

I missed that old vibe so much. The chotu Shiva flashback and the MKS tussle (Maami Kangan Shiva) and Shiva's junglee expressions brought life to the episode! Ofcourse, the cherry on top was the tashan bgm. I can ramble about how happy and excited their bit got me all day 🤣🤪

And Raavi inserted perfectly into their duel - she's always been the foil, now in a more palpable sense.

Hearing Shiva say "Aeyy Maami!" in that tone after so long... like Mami says, madhurghantiyan bajaoing in my ears 🤣

Aargh, it's not working, though! This little corner of the internet has somehow become a tiny happy place for me lol. All you wonderful people and all the crazy here... *cue YKB*

Okay so I said I won't discuss the episode but here we go:

I'm still feeling the disconnect and am very sceptical about the return of OG Pandya Store, but it was a decent run today... I could glimpse little pockets of hope 😆

The childhood references are back, chotu Shiva flashbacks are here again 🥳

Mami-Shiva-Kangan - THANKYOU for bringing back the most important triangle in this story. I never thought I'll ever miss a pair of kangans to this extent 😆

Sanki Shiva with Sanki Shiva bgm. YAAS. This gives me hope (still very skeptical tho) that Shiva is coming back to form, because let's face it makers flattened his character over the last couple weeks too. Although he's yet to regain full sankiness but I'll excuse that since dude just got his back broken and saw his chipkali almost fuse out.

Shivi scenes were nice but the music was very distracting for me, I wish it hadn't played for them. I couldn't focus on Shiva's micro expressions and it felt more loveydovey than it would've otherwise because of the song. That would've come off as another scene where we'll wonder what the heck Shiva's expressions mean if not for the overwhelming bgm. I really wish they'd refrain from softening ShiVi because these last few episodes they looked too complacent and didn't feel like ShiVi... they're going the GauRa way and I hope that's limited to the haveli track's inconsistency. Honestly, I felt very put off by the lunch scene yesterday.

His thankyou moment reminded me of the Shaadi day takrana they had (one of my favourite scenes till date) tell me if this is my delusion but didn't he gaze at her lips there too?

For everyone who feels Shiva is starting to fall, I respect your opinion but personally I've always seen him as having a deep affection for her, which he refuses to acknowledge or even introspect on. He's been physically attracted to her/affected by her proximity from day 1 and he's aware of that, even though he tries to cover that up just as much as his feelings. This though - these emotions and long suppressed thoughts surfacing, stimulated by their recent trauma... this is what he isn't fully aware of and doesn't want to think about and the fact that it's actively affecting him now is throwing him off.

Three cheers for Raavi's diary. Congrats @Transeferance, your wish is here to stay 🤣

Feliciaayyyy 🤗

I always wait for your vishesh Tippmpani. Your thoughts echo my innermost expressions while watching Shivi

Word to everything you said! Thru isn't back to what it was, but I could See glimpses Of old Shivi!

@bold No, you aren't the only one. He looked at it thrice! Thrice. And then just snapped out of it.

@ last part.

Shiva is becoming aware and NOT fall. He was always attracted to her, and that's their USP. His world revolved around Her. I So wish that they explored this route and not the Gaura way.

Want them to realise that Pyaar ho Gaya Nahi they were always in love!

He really did... And I too say that he is not falling but something is happening to him😂

Hey

It's okay to feel the disconnect after all the drama that we've bore since past few days. But today's episode gave me an affirmation that they are going back to the original route. I think the backlash that they got for the danda kaandh is being taken into account by the makers. So I hope they'll be back to normal in a few days or till the time the get back to Mumbai.

I personally loved the shivi scenes today, better than what I was expecting and shiva being soft to raavi is a sight to behold.. beautifully enacted by KD❤ The only thing I didn't like was the transition when he wakes up with a start, a flashback of them being stuck in the khandhar there would have been much appreciated. And yes, even I personally didn't like the song being played in the shivi night scene.. it would have been better if the focus there was only on the dialogue and expressions, it kinda didn't make sense to me, the song! But all in all perfectly done by shivi.

Maami- Shiva scene and Maami- Raavi scene both I enjoyed... first one being hilarious and the other one, raavi gave a nice answer to maasi.. however naive the girl is she definitely has some sense in her head and knows the value of relationships. ❤

@bold, no you're not delusional, he was definitely gazing at her lips, maybe wanting a morning kiss as a thank you 😉

@underline, I agree with you completely. Even I feel that he has always had feelings and affection for her. He has just masked it with his anger and hatred for maami and anyone related to her. Raavi has had to face the brunt of it always because since childhood she was the easiest target for him, other people being elder to him, he couldn't do much as a child and started targetting her, which eventually became his habit and a tool for him to hide his true emotions. Shiva is in general not a person who lets his feelings be known to anyone and is good at masking them. Now when he recently saw her in a near death state, his emotions took over him and he was in a devastated state.. the existence of emotions of care for her are not new for him but they have surfaced and erupted like this for the first time. This care for her was there at the time of suicide as well but again it was suppressed by the circumstances and he was able to hide it. But this time he was completely helpless, and everything just came out and he is just not able to understand his newly surfaced emotions, and that's why he had no answer to "ab kya badal gaya".

I don't know if I made any sense.. but I can just go on and on about Shiva's character, that's the effect it has on me🤣

P.S. Yes I hope the diary has a significant role to play and one fine day shiva does read it!

@bold that's the exact same thing I feel❤

Shiva is just really good at hiding and/or ignoring is pain.. I wonder if he will get another scene of Shiva in front of the mirror checking out his bruises, like we got just before the bathtub scene 😆

Raavi and Dev were high on adrenaline rush for the Pooja yesterday so could not feel the pain, today they do 😆

These are my lame explanations on behalf of the makers 🤣

@bold hahaha this was also my explanation…🤣

😛❤️❤️

I love reading your posts too, always something to look forward to!

I know right! She was his brother's bride but does that help his ziddi dil? Not in the slightest lol. Poor chap, I wonder how he got through teenage with all his raging hormones and emotions... Shiva's volatile and ambiguous as it is, imagine a teenaged Shiva 🤪

I agree - for him, it's not about falling but progressing further from where he is wrt Raavi. There's already a solid base of emotions and history to them, particularly from Shiva's side. For Raavi, though it's different as in she has to go through the whole process of discovering her changing feelings and accepting them, then figuring out what they mean. I've never felt she reciprocated anything before marriage, but her giveaway was the sheer amount of importance Shiva possessed in her life. Like he isn't aware of his own feelings (more because he doesn't allow himself to venture there than actual obliviousness), she isn't aware of exactly how significant Shiva is to her (plain obliviousness here).

Like you, Gaumbi and Raavi herself said, Shiva's world orbits Raavi. Raavi, caught up in her daydreams fails to recognise her's revolves around him too! Why would you keep bumbling around a guy who's perpetually rude to you and keeps rebuffing every act of friendship and kindness if there isn't more to it? No matter how loving and sunny you are, nobody would cling to Shiva's person and words like Raavi - his opinions matter, his approval is paramount and his words go straight to her head, remember how he suggested she try the highway for suicide and she did just that? Or her overjoyed reaction and implicit trust despite knowing how shararti he is, when he offered to do her bridal mehdni? And the sangeet dance, that was just the two of them and their world ❤️

Raavi isn't in love, but she's already got half the recipe down. It is indeed a journey of realization and growth more than falling in love. GauRa had their own soft journey, which made sense for them. These two blindsided patakhas deserve to be explored better than that, with originality!

I know many want Shiva to get his hands on the diary but I would like to see something different.

I would love if Rishita stumbles across an older version of Raavi’s diary (once her and Raavi become more comfortable). I want it to give her an insight into their childhood. I want her to say “yeh ladki pagal hain kya” at the mention of Dev - not out of jealousy but because of how out of touch it is from who Dev truly is. I mean Raavi called Dev Kabir Singh 😆

What she finds fascinating is Raavi’s description of Shiva. It’s like reading a novel you can’t put down. The way she describes Shiva and the little moments between them leaves Rishita very curious and in awe.

I’m not fond of anyone reading another person’s diary but if they really want to show that, I would prefer it be Rishita. It can prompt her ask Raavi about their childhood (giving us flashbacks ❤️) and casually mention how Shiva is the star of her show. This will lead to Raavi revisiting her old diaries and making quite the discovery.

Maybe in the future when Shiva is dealing with his insecurities, Raavi gives him a bunch of her diaries and says, this should clear everything.

Shiny, Akshay and KD posted their respective scenes from today’s episide. It is always them posting as they are the captains of their jodi😆

Let’s begin with ShiVi❤️
