i totally agree with you and pointed the same out on the three idiots thread.... so i shall just copy paste what i wrote there ... it will prettty much sum up what i wanted to say...
the entire episode lacked the intensity we generally have in scenes like this ... i feel the episode was kinda disjointed ...as much as they were using them as props ... i thought the rajasthani guys were not needed after the first round of luka chupi as you call it ...
once he found her, there was no reaction as such from his side .. he was just standing there a few steps away and uttering a few vague lines .. i thought he would be a little more angsty, may be bordering on slight aggression the way its generally been with him... i thought his anger would come pouring out as to how she could just walk away from his life, and then i thought he would soften, and says, when you know you are the one who decides everything between us, why didnt you slap me for not keeping up those promises! i dont know, something in the entire episode was amiss, and i just couldnt sit thro the repeat ... generally even after three repeats i still look forward to the next one.. here i am more like ... okay, lets see what happens tomorrow...
i get what they are trying to show by making him propose that way ... they wanna once more create this stark contrast.. which is why they inserted Dev and Meera's scene where dev tells her everything he did and the intention with which he did all of this... as opposed to which, this guy, is proud to perhaps flaunt her to the world as the woman he loves, no matter what ... however, yeah, things could have been done better!!
but again, i feel this is not their proposal.. he is just taking her back .. and there is more of winning over to do .. if you noticed geet didnt smile through out the entire incident .. she simply shed a few tears and looked on.. which means, she will have her share of questions to ask him...
the key to tonight episode is .. where Geet at first is thrilled as she see's him and thinks she wants to go to him, but then she says... if he had thought from his heart he would have stopped me right away .. the fact that he came now shows he is doing it from the head.. and thats a perception she is perhaps going to carry for a while now, before she is convinced the guy is thinking totally from the heart ...
the next couple of episodes will perhaps work towards building that .. cos as of now.. i am not being negative, but the way he said, i dont care if you are pregnant or you have a past, but i cant live without you , only showed once more that he needs her .. and thats not what she wants .. she wants him to love her now ... and till the time she feels he is thinking from his heart ... i dont think she will give in .. and then my dearie will we have an amazing confession ...
lastly, since the wait was long, the episode atleast for me didnt live upto my expectations ..!!! 😊
and this is too much info and analysis on an episode that i thot wasnt up to the mark! think of how much i would have actually written had they given us something outta the world?
here is another one:
we dont want OTT romance, but the cvs have set such high standards of romance on normal occasions that, our expectations from scenes like ths would be obviously high ...
take for instance in last nights episode..;.
-he acknowledged she cant live without her
-he also apologised soo many times for the first time...
-he went looking for her ...
it was all there as though to be executed from the screenplay .. the acting bit just didnt come thro? where was his pain? where was his anxiety? where was his excitement when he spotted the taveez first, where was the sigh of relief when he heard her voice? it was all blank... it was done cos it had to be done ...
as for the proposal ... yes, he goes down on his knees in front of the whole wide world .. but when we have had better scenes for a fake confession, we obv had other expectations from the real one ...
it was all there but i still couldnt feel a thing, may be my expectations were too many from the episode .. but its not my fault again... in the past my expectations have only superseded .. why then should i settle for anything less now?
love,
niha
