The theme of today's episode and the very apt song selection - Humesha tumko chaha aur chaha kuch bhi nahin.
And this is true for both Ani and Jhanak, actually.
And though our Ani boy thinks he "louves" Arshi, he does not - and it is quite plain to see - stop convincing yourself Anirudh babu, and if you have to convince yourself that you love someone, then that is not love at all - yeh toh samajh lo!!!!
The episode begins with Ani and Jhanak hurling words at each other - and though I was pissed off yesterday and called it verbal diarrhoea, today I was able to see that those words meant nothing - we have all seen Ani's anger, and he wasn't "angry" angry - he did not mean a thing he said, and was just being a dejected kid going off speaking nonsense when things (and here his most precious) is slipping away from him.
I am not saying he was right, but I could not exactly despise and hate the words he spoke (epdi, kamal madiri confuse panrena? @vidya? :d)
Also notice how everything he spoke was what Jhanak was doing or showing him she was doing? Like telling her she was utaavle to get married - she herself told him that so many times. LIke telling the other day you will garland anyone - she herself agreed to it by saying she does not need to meet the prospective groom and she will marry anyone her aunt choses for her.
It's like when I repeat what you are saying/doing, it hurts you, toh karte kyun ho?! 
Having said that, I am disappointed at Ani's inability to read her eyes - despite what she says verbally, her eyes scream something else all together, and Ani is choosing to be blind to it - khair, the man thinks he was literally breaking bit by bit because that girl gave up on her career, and cannot decipher that the reason this is affecting him so much to the point of hurting his soul is because she holds his heart, toh aankhe padna dur ki baat hai!
That fall and catch was so disappointing man - though I liked and was happy with how Ani melted when she fainted - this bit should have been so much more! They could have shown this rather than the evil gang welcoming Tejas (yaarume illatha tea kadai le yaaruka da tea aathara? - why so much screenspace and time for the wedding that is not going to happen when the leads are not in the frame?) Focus on the leads na - this was stupid, and the fall and catch should have had so much more - more concern from Ani, more awareness of their proximity, more physical tension, more angst. Damn!
I happily mentally tuned off when Laal, Mimi and Arshi were ganging up on Jhanak and Jhanak was singing praises of the way Ani loves Arshi. Niratha Sollunga da!!
Chotton should stop talking in circles now, Ani dil ke mamlo mein bilkul buddhu hai - I also expected Chotton to ask him, "toh agar Avinash usey padne deta, usey kaam karne deta, toh tum kush rahoge?" prod the man to understand his heart more, aise cryptic sawalon se kuch hone wala nahi hai!
And Finally, the bride is here, and the groom pulls up the camera to hide his face so that no one can see his breaking heart reflected in his eyes.
Krushal and his eyes - pure magic, and I don't think I will ever get tired of saying this! As Jhanak removed the beetel leaves from her face to look at her 'dulha', but looked at Ani instead, the camera slipped and he let his eyes speak - the 'this is it' expression here, the acceptance of grief -wow! I don't have words which would do justice!
But the star of this sequence was Hiba - a tad bit more exceptional than Krush was! Her eyes expressed so much yaar!!! And the camera work - elevated this sequence completely!!!
Looking forward to the upcoming episodes - and to the non tamil speakers - apologies for the sprinkling of tamil here and there - they were mainly memes/dialogues from movies which became meme templates.
