Ok, getting those out of the way😆😆😆......Mayank RULED today! Even though it was by no means a perfect episode😆😆
Things I liked:
MN's cute convo in the beginning: It was very brief, but the few moments before Nupur blurts out that she wants him as her dance partner, the way they would both start talking at the same time and then pause and start laughing.....adorable!😳😆.....and he's all happily rambling on about the importance of making good notes when she cuts in and asks him......and the way his face just turns to stone🤣
Nupur using her wits and managing to get thru to Mayank: So Nupur's first ploy of trying to use 'reverse psychology' on him didn't work...LOVED Mayank's reply to that....complete with the grin! Woohoo!😆😆..but pleasant surprise of the day! Nupur is not THAT much of a ditzy airhead after all!😆😆...So she used the whole, "I did the project even though you didn't expect me to do it" tactic on him😆😆.I hadn't and I'm guessing neither had Mayank expected that to get to him....I'm guessing that's what made the whole 'you do the project, I'll do the dance' idea formulate in his head😆😆.....
Mayank's 'hero' ishtyle entry: Sach mein, kya jhakaas entry thi yaar!😆😆.....Complete with a dramatic 'hai'!🤣.....It's like all of Nupur's filmy dreams coming to life!!😆 And the way she imitates him later on....."Waah, waah Mayank....kya entry maari hai"....Nupur toh flat ho gayee aaj!😆😆.....
MN's convo before the dance begins: Nupur's tips!!🤣🤣🤣 Oh my god! I just couldn't stop laughing!! "Agar tumhein darr lage, toh music pe khade hoke hilte rehna...aise aise"🤣🤣......And I LOVED Mayank's grin when she chides him for giving the 'out of fashion angry young man look"🤣.....'audience ko khargosh samajh lena"🤣....Seriously??!! Khargosh??!!!🤣🤣 This girl is in a league of her own I tell you!😆
Nupur's dance: What a dance!!!🤣.....It's like all the filmy moves she can possibly think of she mixes them up randomly together and just takes off! Regardless of music!🤣🤣 You gotta admire her free spirit though😆👏....Bole toh bindaas!😉😆....Mayank's expression was like....WTF!🤣🤣
THE Mayur Dance: Ok, having built up a lot of expectations from this dance, I dunno why it cracked me up for some reason😆😆.....Pehle toh Mayank's 'intense' look as he pulls her to a stop from her crazy dancing....I couldn't quite figure it out😕😆.....and then, the beginning few moments of the dance, it's like he's tossing her around and she's totally shocked beyond belief....as I'm guessing everyone else was watching Mayank's moves😆😆.....BUT it got better after that as it built up....Mayank's expressions smoothed out and he had that slightly bemused look back on his face that I LOVE😳😆😆
Generally though, I kept thinking how come Nupur suddenly fell into line and knew all the moves that he's doing???😆....especially cuz they were such 'pose shose' type of moves🤣
Biggest swoonworthy moment: For me the highlight was right at the end, when Mayank lifts her up and the MJHT instrumental tune starts playing! (which I absolutely love!)😍....Amazing chemistry in that moment!!😍....LOVED it!! And then when he brings her down and then raises his eyebrows at her in amusement....toooooooo cute!!😍😆.....on another note, by then that pose as he's holding her also started to look funny🤣
Things that were on the average/ho-hum side:
CJ randomly popping up in b/w as MN are talking: 😕😆😆.....Yaar, I get that this girl supposed to be the punk rebel or whatever in college but her dialogues are usually lame....and I guess they usually throw her in b/w these MN scenes to highlight Mayank's POV since he doesn't feel the need to prove himself much....but really, she kinda bores me😕😆....for the kind of character she is, she needs MUCH sharper dialogues!
Samrat-Mayank scene: Ok type scene.....pehle toh the way Samrat tried to patronize Mayank there just cracked me up🤣🤣.....And where the heck did he pull the 'pyar ho gaya' waali line???😕😕....I liked Mayank's cool half-smile in reply to that😎😆....not worthy of an answer....really😆....but I have to say I giggled when he mock sympathized with Mayank about Nupur being his partner😆😆....If I'm being fair, I have to say this scene was still better than their first 'rivalry' confrontation where they discussed who was leading in trophies won😆😆
Things I realized today:
---Samrat calls Dia 'Candy'????😆😆 I'd never noticed that before😕😆
---Mayanks wears double layer t-shirts?? I dunno for sure though, but that's how it appeared to me😕😆.....reminds me of another famous character with a tendency for double layered shirts😆
All in all.....Mayank was FINALLY given enough material and he knocked it out of the ball park!👏👏👏....Rati was fantastic today as well👏👏
