i know that a lot of you will kick me and hate me for saying this today, but i honestly dont know if its the way the episode was edited and pasted, or the story line, but i wasnt as excited about Armaan's entry as i had expected i would be, i was out till almost 7:45, and was restless to get back home, and made it in just about time, but realised, the entry was kinda thanda, i dunno why, i somehow expected more, perhaps a little more intensity, but the focus seemed to be more on how so many girls were fida over him, even his memories of Riddhima, i thought the moment he came, he would remember much more, the times he spent with her, the way he teased her, the way he confessed to her, their fights, n then the final bullet and him remembering everything fondly...and then the excitement on his face to see his lady love, and then had to also pasted her coming all the way to Panchghani to see him, and him walking away from there ( they are anyway cut copy paste experts, they would have managed this), now saying to himself, Riddhima i am here to get you, and him looking for her before everyone... n then his restlessness when he wouldnt find her... n him trying to get in touch with her....
but it was so clear his entry was shot separately and the other scenes were shot separately, which is why it looked very disjointed, and somehow to me, though it was Armaan's "the entry" the sid and riddhima scene's evoked the kinda emotions i had expected from Armaan, it was so beautiful, so subtle yet so meaningful!!
i am seriously wondering, is this what i was waiting for? or do i always expect alot out of the creatives... honestly, i am now more inclined towards the Sid and Riddhima story as i see more substance in their story! ofcourse there is still this flicker of hope that says, shayad, when they come face to face it will give me what i am waiting for!! but for now, this is so totally not rocking!! and if this is the way things continue, then it wont take too long for me to forget Armaan in total, and accept Sid and Riddhima, cos they are doing a fab job!!
love,
