Not that we need any reminding of it but the watch bit showed another difference in Imlie’s devotion and Malini’s 7 saal ka so called pyaar. Imlie is happy with just having Aditya’s old watch with her always in order to feel that he is with her. Malini only understands if it is a continuous material demonstration of his time with her like a date. These gems of scenes that they intersperse throughout is why we hardly get bad episodes. A lot gets told with very less.
Oh such a good point....yes, very true....that is why I feel the script still continues to be bang on in flow. You can join the dots in terms of the parallels they are drawing, the symbolism they are going for. That subtle approach of conveying a lot in just a few words...I love it👏
Imlie finds meaning in the simplest of things....feeling like she is sharing Adi's time simply by wearing his old watch....while Malini keeps demanding his time through showy gestures like a date and that is why she is continuously left feeling empty....she is chasing a mirage.
