Hello all,
Gotten a few spare mins so thought I'd pop in and put down some thoughts I had on the past few episodes in no particular order and very briefly.
First, we see a glimpse of the old GauRa which I really appreciated, sensible and talking things through.
Shiva and Raavi are all hearts, a change in their equation has habituated them to each other. I wouldn't say they love each other yet, but they have definitely reached a level of companionship that they think about the other more than they previously would have. The night scenes were beautifully shot. I loved the contrast of Raavi not wanting to have anything to do with Shiva to counting him as hers 😍😍. And the second one where she wants him to message and him controlling himself was a step forward in their relationship; acceptance.
Dev and Rishita... I'll be honest I don't understand Dev's character yet, but I do love how he is always supportive of his family no matter what. Also I did briefly see everyone wasn't too sure why Dev was told to speak to Shiva. I actually thought that was a very sensible decision, since they are closer in age, Dev is more likely to get Shiva to open up to him, if nothing else than in anger since they're so opposite each other personality wise. Also in pre leap episodes, even though Dev doesn't always gey along with Shiva, he understands his reasoning and will support him, so despite saying he doesn't approve, I see Dev standing by Shiva through this whole mess. Also Shiva has a lot of respect for Gautam and Dhara so it feels as though he doesn't want to say anything to them in case they're disappointed in him.
Rishita the jasoos was funny and I was a bit disappointed that she was proven wrong when she was actually right this time. I'm glad it was acknowledged by Gautam, Dhara and Dev. She still needs to mature and realise there are times when she should speak up and when she shouldn't. Also her thought process on the transport business was too funny. I had to rewatch to understand where she came about that idea.
The birthday part was so cute as well... A glimpse of the cute si acchi si ladki who is Somnath's most beautiful was seen.4 mins late. Searching for the rest of the family. Krish and Raavi bond was amazing as always. Her double xl gift in front of her 😍😂😂😂.
I wasn't too happy about Shiva going back in his word about not involving Raavi, I hope there is an apology there for her and a long conversation on how they're taking this bind forward... I'd be happy if they decided to start off as friends. Applause for Raavi standing up for herself with Shiva and with Praffula as well after and letting her k ow its not okay for them to pit her in the middle and make her choose sides.
Shiva obviously didn't account for Raavi to not go with him and he doesn't have a plan B so I'd love to see what he comes up with. (Can i just add here Shiva on the tree was soo cute and I loved the parallel to young Shiva who I loved in pre leap episodes.)
Dhara was savage with getting back to Rishita. To be honest maybe that's what she needs more than the coddling.
I have so much more to say but enough for today.
Ill have to catch up on the discussions from the previous three EDTS because it sounds like there was a lot of good ones.
