Fab5 lost their music. I'm loving my username more today 😆

Gaaah! What a high voltage drama was in store for us! Contrary to my hopeless wish, Dhruv actually did beat up Manik for Nandini's sake. But what was more surprising was that Manik didn't hold back. Yeah, he was more restrained than Dhruv but those leashes could've snapped any second had not Alya and Nandini stepped in.

Dhruv's emotions for Nandini are getting stronger by the moment while Manik is in the constant state of frustration. His logic tells him that his anger flared up because Nandini was the reason Dhruv raised his fist to Manik and even hit him. Manik's disbelief at being hit actually numbed me. Not even in his wildest thoughts would he have imagined that to happen. Specially when it came on the heel of the massive hurt that Nandini's words caused him. God! His outburst gave me chills.

(PARTH SAMTHAAN! 👏 And I love Niti's acting in scenes where she has to cry. Her face his so innocent and when those doe eyes are filled with water, she does it so well. She needs some work emoting surprise but when it comes to crying scenes, which are usually toughest of the lot, she nails it all. The critic in me was purring in pleasure at the outburst scene ☺️)


I am making an official statement here - I am a Manik bias. When he said, "Main ek Monster hoon aur hamesha rahoonga!" my heart leaped out to him. Those were big words to say. I don't his reaction was to the accusation in particular but the ones who was making the accusations. I don't blame Nandini for jumping right to the conclusion that it was all Manik's doing. Seeing his past track, it's not a surprise for her. It's a surprise for him that he would be blamed for something like that. The guy seriously needs to see his past deeds with her to realize that she isn't the one who's wrong here but since he has serious issues when it comes to Nandini, Imma let it pass.

Anyway, the post-fight scene made it EVIDENT (yes, in capital) that his rage wasn't targeted at being hit by Dhruv but rather, Dhruv defending NANDINI (again in capital). Nandini is the key word here. Not some girl who came in between the two Buddies, but Nandini as an individual. His ex-spot Nandini. The one who kept him baffled the entire time she was in his vicinity but he didn't have control on her. The girl who outright refused to doing anything with him. The girl whose house he visited to take out all his frustrations because she didn't smile for him but with someone else. That girl.

And who defended him? Dhruv.

The guitar breaking was so symbolic. This guitar is more than just a music making instrument for Manik, it's the thing which calms Dhruv down during his rage episodes. And Manik broke that guitar. He smashed it to the ground after thinking about the times Dhruv was there for Nandini while Manik only watched from the sidelines. Oh no, his anger is so not because Nandini was the reason Dhruv hit him. His anger was because Nandini just was. The girl exists and affects him and leaves him so baffled and confused and so out of control. The Manik who used to face things with a calm demeanor, with ice in eyes and no feelings in words, she has reduced Manik to a becoming a hot mess with rage and emotions all over his face. The Manik who hardly lost his cool is being controlled by the first thing he feels.

Jealousy. Rage. Longing. Helplessness.

Nandini is the reason for it.

And then there's Dhruv.

*excited arm flailing*

Can you see this whole situation?! Do you realize the position Manik is in?! God, love triangles are usually so boring because the conflict there is just so meh but here! There's this whole history between the guys on one side, this whole connection between Manik-Nandini, and then there's obvious feelings between Dhruv-Nandini. I am so utterly glad that MaNan as end game has been hinted in the show because it makes it all the more interesting! When we thought that there might be self-sacrificing game going on between the guys once feelings start to surface, we got this scene of Dhruv not hesitating to punch his best buddy for the sake of Nandini. Now we have Manik getting rid of the root of the problem aka Nandini supposedly for the sake of his friendship with Dhruv but you can't deny that there's some massive jealousy at play here. If there'd be no Nandini around, there'd be no one to rattle his emotions and cause a ripple. And then Nandini decided to go all out against Fab5 and shit! I am so bloody scared about the show's inevitable screw up cuz everything right now is so purrfeecctt!!

An amazing article :)

Its a good positive approach to the episode :D
And I felt it too that Manik was angry with the fact that a girl aka a commoner can have so much affect on him and his relationships.
Hopefully next episode will be a happy one (though i doubt :p)

The episode was brimming with positivity when one looks at it as a HUGE step ahead in terms of story line. I am loving the way CVs are handling this whole track. I, personally, have no issues with whatever that's happening. It brings in such amazing insight to the workings of our main characters!

Manik really has serious issues with Nandini's presence in his life and all the affect that she has on him. She just has to do one small thing and Manik is at her head reacting 😆

I didn't feel the episode was unhappy..it was full of dhamaka and intensity. though I do miss MaNan scenes 😆

My heart usually goes to the sweet guys, who silently help the girl but ais baar nahin horaha 😆 Monster Manik's layers are so intriguing and every day we get some other shade to him and I just love him some more! 😳

Sacrificing angles can work but to a certain extend. It takes some finesse to deal with the issue as it can bring a whole load of angst for our leads and I THRIVE on angst! The self-sacrificing track isn't rule out entirely, I just hope it is done well..

Yeah, the post turned into a Manik analysis post 🤣 I swear I didn't start off with this intention but GOD! His anger and outburst remained with me and I made it all Manik centric. Glad you loved it! 😳

YAAAYYY... someone else who is seeing things the way I'm trying to 🥳

This is the exact thing I've tried to portray in my OS earlier.Actually, I'm sooo in a mood to write another OS on the whole fiasco but a headache is restraining me 😭

May be tomorrow. But till then, I'll just comment on this one.

FAB post dear 👏

In this case, both Maanik and Nandu are just EQUALLY affected by each other, albeit differently.

Dhruv is more or less her peace of mind in this madhouse called 'S.P.A.C.E.' True that she is indeed attracted to him, but Maanik overwhelms her in ways which no one else out of the Fab 5 could.

Have you seen how, every time she says something nice about Dhruv to herself, she spews venom about Maanik the next. Case for example- her self talk after coming home from the pool-party, she says 'Hate that Maanik' after remembering the cracker-incident whereas it was Cabir who took the blame for it.

This was what I meant when I said in my review that Maanik brings out the worst in Nandini and vice-versa!

I loved your previous one! Waiting to read ye wala bhi! OSs which reflect the current storyline bring in such different takes on the situations, it's one of the joys of being on forums for me..

May be tomorrow. But till then, I'll just comment on this one.

Dhruv is more or less her peace of mind in this madhouse called 'S.P.A.C.E.' True that she is indeed attracted to him, but Maanik overwhelms her in ways which no one else out of the Fab 5 could. Dhruv is the only person who lets Nandini be. He puts no baggage on her, doesn't do anything to force or pressurize her, he was always there when she needed help the most in the initial days. It's no wonder that she has a soft spot for him in the entire college. Dhruv is everything to her which Manik isn't. He is the freedom to Manik's control. The helping hand to Manik's torment.

Have you seen how, every time she says something nice about Dhruv to herself, she spews venom about Maanik the next. Case for example- her self talk after coming home from the pool-party, she says 'Hate that Maanik' after remembering the cracker-incident whereas it was Cabir who took the blame for it. Exactly. She can't separate the two. Like I said, Dhruv represents the things she doesn't see in Manik.Because so far Manik hasn't shown them. He is the Monster and Dhruv is the Angel. I don't think Nandini knows about any of Dhruv's qualities if we remove Manik from the equation. Which makes it all the more so interesting because the individuality of these two guys in Nandini's perspective hasn't been fully explored yet. Till now both of them are thoughts to her, one negative and one positive. Thoughts have to become reality for feelings to be genuine.

This was what I meant when I said in my review that Maanik brings out the worst in Nandini and vice-versa!
