I just watched 4 episodes back to back to catch up and wow, was that a rollercoaster. Somehow, watching it all together one after another made me like things a bit more. Also, today's episode was much needed after the 3 episodes before that, and especially after the torturous dhiktana sequence 🤣
Just a side note about Tuesday's episode, I ended up loving the divorce sequence, maybe it was the way it was shot, and the little nuance like Raavi's shaking hands, and Shiva egging her on, but damn, it did affect me, and not in a bad way. The rest of the episode after that was meh. Same goes for yesterday's episode. Hated how Shiva was isolated. I have many qualms with Suman, but I loved how she hugged Shiva...her baccha. Much needed. I do have to add that I felt it was really insensitive of the family to celebrate everything so openly, with such wide smiles on their faces and some very cringey and dramatic moves, when a divorce had taken place that very same day, just a few hours ago. Not saying they shouldn't be happy...but seriously...read the room! Be a little more subtle. But this was to be expected from this fam-dumb 😆
Today's episode, the scene at the beginning was only good because of KD's acting. His voice modulation while he hugged Gautam (I'm still miffed at him) actually got to me. His acting makes you feel so much more than you can comprehend.
Dhol sequence....I actually loved it.😆 It was a welcome reprieve after the strenuous episodes from the past few days. I thought I would cringe, but I ended up being very engaged with the scene. Right from the moment Raavi started with her thumkas 😆 I knew Shiva would only have eyes for her at that moment. And of course, their dhol-off didn't disappoint.🤣 The revolving shot of Raavi spinning around him while he played the dhol, and their eyes not leaving each other was beautiful. Idk but to me, it seemed like such a very ShiVi-esque thing to do.😈
Yes, Raavi's one-step move was a bit embarrassing 🤪 but Shiva adding himself to her 'celebration' somehow made things work.
Precap: potli ke andar kya hai? 😆 I'm curious but have no expectations. Dear makers, please surprise us for once and have something meaningful in it.
