Firstly, hats off to whoever wrote this line🤣....Superb!
So after a whole lot of build up, finally we arrive at the big fallout episode....Shravan's moment of reckoning. As I was watching, I was thinking that it's amazing that the writing managed to bring us to a point where we felt so bad for Shravan today despite the fact that he had been pretty shameless with all his random lying just a week back. This reckoning was long coming.....and yet, the timing was filled with so much irony that one ended up just feeling really sorry for Shravan.
All of Shravan's lies came full circle....along with some extra mirch masala from Anish. When you lie, when you betray someone's trust, you open yourself up to being abused even more.....Shravan told some lies, so Anish was able to insert even more lies of his own to make Shravan look worse in front of Sumo today. Credit to Anish that he spun a pretty effective web to trap Shravan there....lol
Poor Suman, she held out as long as she could....I liked that she still gave Shravan a chance to clarify if this was the truth until the very last minute....it was only after he said yes, that he finally got the big slap.
But the most powerful portion of the episode actually came in the aftermath of the party fiasco. Special note for Shravan's outburst in his room👏.....very well done by Mohit. I was actually wondering just a couple of days back that it's hard to imagine what an intense Shravan would even look like cuz he's only goofed around since the show started😆.....today I got an answer. Mohit rose to the challenge, kudos is deserved. One, this outburst was very well written and directed.....we got to see a different side of Shravan.....the anger ticking inside him, the hands shaking in fury before he burst out and started trashing his whole room. And two, it was very well performed by Mohit.... the pause and breakdown in front of the mirror.....the way he started slapping himself in anger, overcome first by the helpless rage at the utter humiliation he was dealt at the hands of the Army kids.....and then again a pause, as he acknowledges that he again let down the people who trusted him. I was intrigued to see this moment cuz it shows that beyond the carefree facade, Shravan is aware on another level that he's letting down the people in his life, but he keeps breezing on by😆.
The scene culminated with Shravan's determination to manaao Sumo and get back at the Army kids at any cost.....lol what a two-fold mission😆.....it wouldn't be Shravan to be fully humbled now, would it? lol he is resilient and more determined than ever to claw his way back....whether it's with Sumo or his own standing in school😆
On the other side, I loved how they chose the opposite approach with showing the aftermath for Suman. The constant scribbling in her drawing notebook....trying to act nonchalant when Kanchan was asking her how she's feeling. Then later, the silent tears streaking down her face showing how hurt and heartbroken she really is.....ultimately culminating in the heartbreaking sobs as she still kept trying to scratch away in her notebook. Suman's coping mechanism was the total opposite of Shravan's.....she tried to suppress every emotion she was feeling, while he let all of it out with his outburst.
Apna Bunty is back😆....just in time to give advice to Shravan.....lol aww@ Bunty saying tu mere paas aa jaata party ke baad 😆
I like that the show is still not going full heavy....Shravan is trying to apologize to Suman and even though Kanchan is going to try to get back at him in the precap, the vibe of the scene feels light hearted with the whole family gathered around😆
