Today was a superb episode in terms of direction, execution, story and music! Today, was a real progression in terms of both their characters.
Scenes I liked:
1. ZaYa scene : Zain waiting for Aliya, while she's busy doing all the work. I am so glad they used Mast Magan. For once, i liked the filmi tadka in the show. There are many scenes that require the BI music and then there are some scenes that require only filmi songs. It was a beautiful scene with Zain waiting for Aliya, her doing work and the alter ego playing it's role. It was a beautiful sequenceđđź Of course Aliya arrives and Zain and her have their kitkit. the music played during that time was really good. Aliya finally sits and then we move on to the shopping scene.
2. Aur main? That scene stole my heart! What a layer to be peeled off, what a superb scene that was! It reminded me of that chart, where aliya kept some time for Zain. Today' the moment he said aur main, whay a progression in his character. The earlier Zain didn't want to do anything with her time, and now, this Zain wants her time. He wants her to keep her time only for him and the music in the background was icing on the whole scene. Just the way he said aur main was so powerful. Harshad and Preetika were both excellent in this scene! The way his expressions were when he mouthed his line and the expressions she displayed.. the confusion, the small happiness on her face was beautiful. What followed was a beautiful scene indeed too.
3. Aliya apologizes, Zain stops her. Another progression into their relationship. The old Zain would do anything to make her apologize but this Zain was not enjoying it. The moment she raised her hands and the way he stops her, his eyes full of tears, and the way his entire eyes spoke volumes. WOW. Harshad was superb superb in this scene. This guy just continues to amaze me. He's just getting better and better and it's a thrill to see his entire journey and as character, Zain grew up.. Slowly, he's letting go of the boy image and entering the man image. Slowly, he's out of his Mama's boy and slowly becoming a husband and it's a thrill to see this..
4. Aliya picks earrings, Zain admires her. Another progression. Finally, we can have Zain looking at Aliya in peace. He's totally into her and makes me think, will it be Zain to fall for her first? But the BI music in the background was icing. It reminded me of the Bhopal flavor and was just taken back to those amazing moments. It reminded me of that engagment scene ( Look at Harshad's whatsapp dp and you will know). That time, Zain was just in awed of her beautiful and he was not even in love with her, but today, the way he saw her, the way he admired with lots of love was beautiful.đ
5. Tie Scene - the tie scene was amazing. It reminded me of the last scene and the flavor also remained the same. He refused to let her tie the tie , but eventually he gave in. Mast Magan at that point was good but I preferred a Zain version or the BI title track version. Neverthless it was a beautiful scene.
The precap- What a scene! What an icing! Zain bought a gift for Aliya. She is beyond touched. He jokes, that there will be no hug but she insists. He's shocked and speechless. and I can't wait to see how this scene turns out.
Overall a beautiful beautiful episodeđđź
