Story and Characters wise...
I was pretty excited about it watching the BTS, because i totally forgot the actual scene will contain dialogues 😛. They presented the BTS in such a way that it got me all ecstatic and hyper. And especially the background songs they use, they trigger ones imagination.
Now coming to the actual scene, i have mixed feelings. In the end, it turned out to be Abhi's fear of defamation and his egoistic instincts (Mardaangi factor...) that provoked him to force himself on Pragya just because he had 'certain' rights. One does want to punch Abhi, where it hurts the most, for a second and throw a bucket of ice water on him...😆...but then Pragya did the needful i.e. kick him out of the room. I actually did cheer for her then...Yo, Go Woman! 👏
But after tonight, the misunderstandings about Pragya being selfish, money-minded and characterless pretty much got to my head. Her hesitance and disgust, as regards to Abhi's behavior do make you feel for her. She doesn't deserve all this at all and Abhi really does need to lose her to realize what she's worth. He needs to repent all the mean things he has done to her. So, i do want her to be pretty serious with this divorce thing. Which is probably too much to hope for.
And Aaliyah!!!! May GOD not grant a sister like her to even our enemies...😊😆 Getting your own brother drunk, provoking his mardaangi and then guiding him towards Tanu...😡 What even mann!!! Somewhere it scares me...😕
Performance wise...
I'd give all the points in the world to Shabir-Sriti, along with a bow. 👏👏👏
Not being drunk and enacting to be heavily drunk can be difficult and at times turns out pretty fake on-screen. And for me, eyes play an important role in such scenes and Shabir's eyes were perfect enough to portray all the emotions that were required. And Sriti, every time she just leaves you in awe of her. The hesitancy, 'aap hosh mein nahi hai', revulsion...she was superb. I just can't decide who outshines whom in such scenes amongst them.
That eye-lock...it had the paranoid AbhiGya fan in me do a slight happy dance...😳
The 'patni ho tum meri...rishta juda hai humara'...it just had some sort of special effect to it. [Only if we had it actually mean something to Abhi...]
The way he said 'back to aashiq'...😆 for some reason i really liked it. Maybe his expressions.
Lastly, 'BAS KIJIYE'...😛...followed by the kicking out 👏
