I can't believe this day is actually here...after UMPTEEN badly executed episodes and rushed scenes, director uncle seems to be back from whatever vacation he was on and editor uncle decided to take his meds again and stop screwing up the scenes. 👏...ek din ke liye this is quite an achievement for BBKD given their recent track record.

The first Abhi-Meera scene...I was holding my breath for the most part finding it hard to believe that a scene was actually NOT being rushed...is this for real? Is this POSSIBLE? Toh baaki saare din kya ho raha tha?🤔...


Beautiful scene with the right level of restraint and nuance b/w Abhi-Meera, beautifully performed by the actors. Meera's expressions finally start to reflect a shift and ND got it all right...from the zoned out Meera, to the Meera feeling a pinch when Abhi tells her they will never meet again or that they aren't "best friends"...Also, such beautiful direction for the way Meera finds that feather and treasures it...Finally some semblance of an arc today...the feather is actually one of the rare "arc" like elements in their story so far that could have been capitalized on with better momentum...alas, it's only brought back when the writers wake up from whatever random comas they go into.


I loved all the bits with the feather today...however that female version of "Dil ki bhaasha"🤔...lol frankly the singer sounds kinda besuri and it's quite unfortunate that they are playing this version ON REPEAT now since Meera is in "realization mode"...I STRONGLY request them to stick to the instrumental version or the regular version of the song and spare us the voice of this lady...it's not easy on the ears. The lyrics are nice...they need to switch the singer or switch to the instrumental version.


After many days the theme music flowed with the scenes nicely...I realized that I've missed this...in the good days, this music was part of my biggest draws towards the show...over time they squandered it as usual.


The final feather scene at the airport was again beautifully shot...Meera finally remembered that first feather scene...lol and even Abhi fixing her sprained ankle...tubelight finally flickering...hallelujah...that entire bit where she remembers and then imagines Abhi on his bike again...nice touch.


Even the kheer bit was a good scene added to justify her connection to Devpur...it's almost like some break finally got released today and sab ke dimaag chalne lag gaye dhang se.


Was surprised to see Abhi tell Daadi the truth about Yograj😕😆...I thought they will drag out this big "secret"...ghantaa secret...and Daadi sheds brief upset tears and goes back to planning Abhi's shaadi...lol so much for apologies...oh well.


So sangeet actually IS happening?😕😆...Is the shaadi happening on the same night or next morning? It will take Meera a full night to get back to Devpur?😆


Is show ke functions bilkul samajh mein nahin aate.


The Babli-cousins scene was cute...Babli looked nice in different clothes for a change and cousins happy about match-making was amusing too...looks like a comedy of errors on the way...cousins on their way to uthaao Meera from the airport and Meera on her way back to Devpur😆...so giddy she looked in the precap, "Main apne ghar jaa rahi hoon"😆



ND was the star of the epi today👏👏...So far, she is selling Meera's realization quite well.


Chalo ab sab log 3 din chill karo for an episode😆

Eek I agree about the female version of the song. For some reason it just doesn't flow. They needed a softer voice for the song - more breathy.

I think in all of this, the weird episodes we were getting... Rohan stood out to me. He understands everything and the character is so beautifully portrayed.

I haven't had anything to say for quite a while but with the show getting back on track looks like my brain is waking up too.

After many days, an epi felt worth capping:
Meera's lost expressions




This bit was done beautifully by PJ...Abhi's heartbreak and love for Meera, both reflected in this yearning in his eyes:



The "Hum Best Friends nahin hain" bit had shades of the "Main nahin aaunga" scene from DDLJ...ofcourse without all the intensity of SRK's eyes😆



This was a beautiful shot:

haha good to know it's not just me...yeah they either need to get a new singer or stick to the instrumental version...this singer is killing the feel of the scenes with her version of the song.


Rohan does remain consistent, yes but as a character, he still hasn't really been explored...in this track, they mainly used him for the Yograj reveal...but he hasn't managed to get a one on one proper story beyond his "anger episodes"


Show does appear to be coming back on track a bit...otherwise the Yograj track had essentially killed it.

Also, LOVED the visuals of the Abhi-Rohan scene today...after manyyy days, they also got proper space to themselves and their special bond came through :)...The Abhi who is fiercely protective of Rohan, the broken look on his face as he consoled Rohan and reassured him that that man would never bother them again...nice to see that the writers didn't rush through this scene atleast either.

The female version of the song was not good. In fact in all shows they should stick to soft instrumental background only.

ND is definitely the star of todays episode. Pretty versatile.

The bg music is beautiful here by itself and I agree they should have just stuck with it or slightly changed the tune rather than have this singer. I do like having proper songs too. I think every show does deserve to have a title song at least and I have heard some beautiful ones. I personally like the lyrics of the Abhi/Meera song.

I was thinking that the Rohan character will be explored more once Abhi and Meera get married. Rohan is really only close to Abhi at the moment but he has a strong connection with Meera. Having her around as his brother's wife will really allow him to open up; two misunderstood people together.

I wasn't feeling Yograj the minute he entered the show. For some reason he just didn't fit in with everyone else. Maybe it was done on purpose and that's what the makers were aiming for? He was gone for a decade, so much has changed, he just doesn't fit in anymore? I dunno what it is. The actor doesn't work for me.

Almost an entire episode on Abhi, Meera, cousins, babli and no Yograj and Radhika!!Yay!

What a beautifully shot, enacted and original bbkd wala episode. Female singer has a weird voice quality. She was ok in some part but in some parts it actually affected the scene as it changed the mood of the scene:( But I loved the lyrics and that melody is a gem.

The finality of leaving Devpur and Abhi gave Meera the final push towards realisation. Abhi saying goodbye and that we were not really best friends jolts Meera a bit. The feather bit in the entire episode was so beautifully done. Meera just holds on to the feather like a treasure and says she wont blow it as its special. Then at the airport she tries to blow away but it just does not. Its as if symbolising that even if she tries to leave Abhi it wont happen as he has become an integral part of her life:)

The way Abhi keeps gazing at Meera when she holds that feather and smiles was so heart breaking:(
Abhi saying Isse nahi udayegi ? the guy was getting ripped apart from inside and PJ was brilliant in emoting.

Whatever Meera did made her remember about the Pants. The kheer reminds her of Madhu chachi. Hurt ankle reminds her of Abhi and aww at Meera imagining him on the bike.

Nice to see Sanjay mentioned today. I really miss him and looking forward to his re-entry.

Dadi is so bipolar😆 She goes from one extreme to another in a matter of seconds. But I am so happy she knows Yogis truth.

Babli looked so cute today and I love the subtlety in her expressions. Cousins now got a really good reason to get Radhika out of their life.😆

Precap: Meeras homecoming😆 in Meera style.:)

They've got additional names added to the directing and editing team...noticed the difference in the credits today.

Ravi Bhushan is no longer listed as one of the directors...remember PJ pointing to him in some of the BTS segments.

Anu 🤗 Apt title for the post 😆

IKR!!! Today's episode was really good when compared to the past week. ND and the feather were the stars of the episode. She is finally thinking in the right direction 😆 The whole introspection was heart warming and Meera-like. All through the episode she was lost in her memories of Abhi and the pants. I'm going to enjoy these scenes before the whole stop the wedding andholan.

I loved the jungle and the feather flashbacks!! Some of my fav Abhi-Meera moments.

Dadi is the most selfish person in the house 😕

But the cousins and babli are love... especially mona n rohan.

Precap- Home coming!! I hope they bring in the red dupatta too.
