December 10, 2010 - Friday
Friday was an average episode for me...one of the few that I feel that way about in this show thus far. There is not much to analyze...so I will keep it simple.
Highlights:
The episode starts where Thursday's ended, namely with Aditya and Priya talking outside the college and Brahmanand on his way to meet them. My biggest peeve of this episode was in this sequence. I get that we are going to get a lot these just-missed encounters between Brahmanand and Priya till after the wedding...but...how convenient and lazy is it to make Brahmanand run in to another girl outside Aditya's college wearing a nearly identical outfit to Priya's. Come on writers...based on how well the writing has been so far, I did not expect such a cliched screenplay from you. I also felt RaQesh over-acted a bit with his expressions...felt very over-the-top to me.
Back at the Jhaakar house, Vidya is preparing lists of wedding planning related tasks while Devyani & Sweety return from their shopping. I found this sequence also mildly over the top and exaggerated in terms of character reactions but still good.
Meanwhile Mr. Pradhan is panicking about all the work that needs to get done for the wedding. A worried Chinu calls Priya back to manage the situation.
An angry & upset Vidya on the other hand is placated by Gaurav who promises to teach her English. I love the slow relationship groW*H between these two and this part of the episode was very well done as usual.
At the same time, Devyani calls Uttara with her own concerns about organizing a wedding at such short notice. This scene show cased how these writers capture some of the finer nuances of the relationships in the screenplay. If you recall, back during the trip to Ghaziabad for the Tulsi Puja, Devyani and Uttara made up after their fight. During that conversation, Devyani's subtle dialogs about her life skipped Uttara's attention and that made perfect sense given how emotional Uttara was at the time. In this episode, Uttara was more her normal self and even Devyani's very mildly worried sounding opening line of "Main bas theek hi hoon" immediately caught her attention. I may be over-analyzing a simple line but it is character and screenplay detailing like this that I love.
As Devyani is finishing her conversation with Uttara, Brahmanand storms in to the Jhaakar house and starts packing. So the transfer to Delhi gives the writers a good way to keep him out of the wedding but what was more interesting to me were his lines about somebody orchestrating the transfer. Interesting...some future enemies entry or might Devyani have something to do with it? The reason I say Devyani is...her very nonchalant way of helping Brahmanand pack when combined with her final expression at the close of this scene are making me feel like she has something up her sleeve. Oh well...I guess I am reading too much in to it! 😆
The episode finally closed with Uttara excitedly sharing the news of the upcoming wedding with a worried Rishabh. Haila...a shirtless Rishabh? 😳 Might I say, he looked...ermmm...good...really good! 👍🏼 Had that been marketed in the precaps, who knows, the TRPs might have gone up! 🤔 🤣
Overall:
Average episode.
Loved:
- The Uttara - Devyani and the Gaurav - Vidya scenes in the screenplay. I particularly loved how there seemed to be an entire silent conversation between Vidya and Gaurav...in the expressions they exchanged as every body laughed at Vidya's English.
- The Devyani - Brahmanand conversation. I really hope that Devyani had something to do with the transfer. Would be a cool twist for the future.
Disliked:
- The screenplay using the cliched nearly identical outfit-waala girl to show a missed Brahmanand-Priya encounter!
- Imli's characterization is very uni-dimensional. Her suggestion to Vidya about the rose was also very silly.
- RaQesh's acting in the first sequence outside the college.
