Agree on both these points....I'm quite further ahead in my binge watch and almost caught up so hopefully I can speak to the current epis soon.
But what a rollercoaster of a journey it's been, especially post the ONS and Viaan's efforts to find answers and "closure" while Katha was basically like, "you live with this - I won't give you answers"....lol.....so many hard hitting and well executed scenes along the way....a few I must mention - when he tries to talk to her at one of her job IVs and finally bursts out that he needs to know why she showed up that night, why she took the money because he knows she's not like this....toh she very firmly tells him that she feels no guilt - he's the one drowning in guilt and thinking he will assuage his guilt by getting answers for why she came that night.
Her no guilt stance and her conviction makes it such a compelling watch , post ONS is basically where I started watching and I could not go back as I was compelled to watch it unfold. Every time they come face to face after that or a scene where they are in a same room , it felt like air crackled. The way she would just move away if he came even a bit closer made him so restless.
Then the Dubai trip scenes....lol Viaan's face when he sees her laughing for the first time - utterly enchanted since then only but has no clue about it. Then his desperation to just talk to her driving him to offer her money again....oh boy did that one misfire big time😆....but uske baad his restlessness deffo kicked into another gear with the way he was frantic when he couldn't find her at the hotel and then the way he just sat at a distance from her in the airport lounge - too scared to approach her😆. This has been the crux of what's made the dynamic between the characters so interesting - the fact that the ONS left him so much more tormented than her and it only kept growing with time.
Dubai trip was such a bad idea especially since Abdali let the cat out of the bag 😆 Viaan bilkul baukhla gaya , just imagine him offering her money just to talk, boy did not learn his lesson at all here😆 Its nice for once to see the guy getting buried in guilt , about yeh kya kar diya maine and girl being I did nothing wrong.
All this came to a head when he finally found out the truth....that was a really powerful scene as he shows up so devastated right outside her house and the way he's just all broken, crying, apologizing to her over and over again that he didn't know she was a mom and her child was suffering so much. But Katha being Katha again cuts to the heart of the matter that how does it matter that she was a mom - doesn't make what happened right. One of the most powerful bits in this scene was the way she said there were two of us in the room that night - we both did something wrong....but I know what answers I will give to God when it's time.....but what answers will you give? I accepted the ghatiya offer you made but the offer was still YOURS - nothing will change that. And the way Viaan is just so devastated and crying over and over that this isn't him, this isn't him.....really heart wrenching scene from both perspectives.
Thats my favorite scene till now!! He was so utterly devastated , completely shattered about what he did( he drove all the way without his shoes) . He just wanted her forgiveness but man Katha really cut him to size by simply saying , how does it matter?? I was so sold the way he asked for forgiveness, you can feel that he was absolutely disgusted with himself and needed some bit of closure. But a simple question from Katha put things into perspective, how does it matter? Just because I am a mom you feel guilty?
It was such a powerful scene !
The way they've depicted the build ups and the turning points in the story has been really commendable....the tension between Viaan and Katha really makes for a compelling watch.
In addition to that they managed to stay away from a lot of cliche scenes till now.And then there's Aarav....it's been even more fun to watch him post his recovery and the way he's opened up in doing things with his mom, the way he's trying to the "man of the house", protecting his mom from Chik chik uncle😆....the way they set up his friendship with Viaan has also been very sweet....everything feels organically paced without feeling like a gimmick stuffed in *touchwood*
Lol at him being the man of the house , monkey hokar bhi ped pe chadha nahi jata. 🤣He is just adorbs, always talking about the women in his life😆 I love their bond and the fact that its built on him not knowing he is Kathas son as opposed to that chik chik uncle. Team Batman- Robin against chik chik uncle🥳
Katha in this story is depicted as this magnificent being that everyone is enchanted with on some level...either her talent impresses you or you are impressed by her sheer strength/resilience.
Till now they have done good with her character but you never know when it will turn to typical sacrificial lamb.
