Sorry to pop in so belatedly, but the Friday work crisis managed to roll over and kill a chunk of my Saturday too - so much for weekends 😡

Like I said before - reading your post was a treat Tanu - and I did read it before the episode so I was actually in some kind of higher hope mode. ...agree, it WAS lovely... Which, sorry to admit, feels a little cheated.

I'm not going to take away above average from the episode - but that's about it, for me. Alex said somewhere (I think on one of my threads) and I have to agree with her, the entire caught and chase drama was a stretch. ... wow, being quoted and all...kya baat hai... to borrow from harry...btw where is he?...Perhaps the purpose of the CVs is to sort of familiarize the household with Navya's face before the entire controversial drama unfolds - so they can use it as an extra spice to that twist - but really! As for Nimi and Navya with shitsters - Shagun actualy impressed me an iota by her unusual wisecrack telling Navya to get the gift for her, not Anant - I was like whoaaa! she's catching on pretty fast, ain't she. But no, I'm not in appreciative tone over the chase and exit sequence in general.

Cut to scene in Anant's room - how can a scene packed with loony house inmates not grate anybody's nerves?! But it was needed I reckon. I could almost read CSB's evil mind - prabhu ki itcha hai roka ho jaaye - yeh right, and Prabhu is you?! 😳 Oh and, did I actually catch an unforgivable hint of smile gracing hari om prabhuji's face?! 😲 I didn't know she was any more capable of that expression than Mohan could have been of speaking up! So yeh.

Cut to Navya-Ritz-Appy - Lacked the zing. Really. My eyes nearly balled themselves out of the sockets from how much I rolled them at the he said ILU to you reaction from Navya's besties. Like think about a real time situation like that - is the hype of a confession so controversy ridden and awaited not a demi-big bang inthe universe?! We're talking about girls here! zero marks to the CVs here - no discredit to the actors, because what can they do with such lame dialog anyway!....exactly...i imagined an episode long version ...dont know if i'm pleased at the businesslike way the CVs have moved the story along or cheated of some girl- girl (-girl) bonding...Oh the quick one thing I did like in this thing was Navya's errant hint of smile, just beginning to sneak on before her friends went, but how could he?! It was a good sign, with an underlying message that no matter how much she's trying to put on the nothing can be changed now brave front - the entire Anant confession has broken a huge wall inside of her. Just that - to an entire scene as saving grace, which is more than a little sad to me.

Cut to the biggest scene of the episode. Anant Navya phone call of course (yes, sadly even I have to admit it was bigger than the Mohan-Anant convo 😆 ) So this was the scene that actually takes the episode to at least an above average - while again, I wont give it a 10/10 just like the confession scene itself, I admit it was a mega relief to not see the two of them stammering for their lives. Although it was a brief conversation - and didn't run into volumes - it laid some crucial ground for future sequences. Here's a place that I disagree with some people on the forum who wondered what the purpose of Anant asking her to confess her love was. Didn't he already know? as she asked him? Or should her saying/not saying it even matter as far as calling off his roka with Shagun is concerned? : Yes to both, at least in part. Personally I think Anant's reason to seek her confession was not a teen acting soppy, but that of a boy in love coming to a new resolve to stand up for his love - who needs his girl to confess, not because he doesn't know the answer,but because her saying it will establish in the most indirect yet doubtless way, that she does need him to stand up for this; that she is in this with him, half way up in gore; and that he's not fighting for a cause that she has already submitted to. And on that note itself, Navya's not saying the ILU back to him, was a sign of weakness of resolve on those fronts. No - her silence signified - she was not as up for the fight, as he was, and wanted her to be. [That's my perception of the scene anyway] ...interesting take...As for Shagun, well, Anant doesn't need Navya to confess for him to break up with Shagun, nope. But if she doesn't admit her share in the situation, that his entire battle of choice between home and her sort of falls flat. Although irrespective of his Navya front, Shagun is ot the right girl for him, his motivation to not just give in and lead his brother's second life in the house is fatally struck by Navya's hesitance.

Cut to Anant-Mohan (I'm not even going to go into Bua-Dadi being her usual freak self 🤢) - So turns out, despite Navya's lack of assurance, Anant has made up his mind - or perhaps his strategy is to deal with chapters one at a time. Get Shagun chapter closed for good - with or without Navya's pretext. Tell his folks he's not ready - not not ready because of Navya, but just not ready. Then, deal with the Navya front taking his own time to bring her around. Apparently, through all her hesitance has shone through that one episode of bravado, of her entering his jail house rock - such is her resolve for his well being - I suppose Anant has convinced himself that if the Shagun chapter was closed off Navya would come around eventually - even if she's the one putting her foot down on his attempt to fight it out. So his mind is made up. Enter: Mohan bhai! ⭐️ *fawns over the rockstar for a bit* ... *snaps to senses* okay, sadly, not the best scene. I liked the scene for what it showed, but I didn't like the incomplete essence of it. They left it midway hanging in the middle of no where....another episode-full worth of material...dont know why slow-mo scenes showing ppl going up/downstairs etc take precedence over scenes with sooo much potential...thats just a plain lazy way out...maybe falling viewer numbers(deservedly so) over the past month or pressure to put on a show for the MAHASAPTAAH have panicked the CVs into writing half baked scenes... So yes, we know Mohan bhai has backed him up. But what's the plan? Is there even a thought of how? When Mohan told Anant whatever he wants to think or do should be done fast - I hoped, hoped, hoped, that he would add to that. Not whip a miracle for him - no that would be unreal - but at least hint on some path that he could consider picking? Like the time before when he had told Anant to be careful in his talk with Baba - not discrete even if, and majorly indirect, that had been a lead. Unless the CVs are going to continue this Mohan Anant scene on Monday - like I said, its incomplete for me...are guys so tightlipped talking bout major stuff like- i saw the girl u have ur eye on, she's nice?!!!!...maybe the real conversation was all in their heads...and who better to dive into our hero's psyche and come up with winners than you jzee (he he he he... i worked that bit of begging, i mean requesting, for more anant drabbles in so subtly ...hehehe 🤓) And on that note, I give it one vote down. Otherwise, for what was shown - thumbs up to the characters and actors (:

Phew - my long essay ends! I didn't have the motivation to churn out a thread of my own, so I spilled my head right here - but you don't mind do you?! 😆 Except tha part of my playing the damp vamp and not going happy gaga over the episode in total 🤔

Anyway - to your credit - you made the epi sound better than it was 👏

But no, I'm not in appreciative tone over the chase and exit sequence in general. I did not like it either..How many times did Nimmi say "Yeh meri friend hai. project me help karne ke liye ayi hai" to various members of the loony clan..The best bit of that entire sequence was Mohan's sliht smile on seeing that Navya managed to meet Anant after all..Because I did not like that particular sequence I did not emphasize on it in my post either..

Cut to scene in Anant's room - how can a scene packed with loony house inmates not grate anybody's nerves?! But it was needed I reckon. I could almost read CSB's evil mind - prabhu ki itcha hai roka ho jaaye - yeh right, and Prabhu is you?! 😳 Oh and, did I actually catch an unforgivable hint of smile gracing hari om prabhuji's face?! 😲 I didn't know she was any more capable of that expression than Mohan could have been of speaking up! So yeh. The less said about creepy baba and hari om prabhu ji the better..I don't know but I thought Anant's dad looked a little skirmish when the whole no postponing the engagement hoopla was going on..Or maybe I am reading into things too much after seeing angry papa's concern for his son lately, and the slight smile he gave to Navya..😆

Cut to Navya-Ritz-Appy - Lacked the zing. Really. My eyes nearly balled themselves out of the sockets from how much I rolled them at the he said ILU to you reaction from Navya's besties.

Just that - to an entire scene as saving grace, which is more than a little sad to me. Hmm I actually liked this particular scene..I did not love it but it was good none the less..I guess I was not expecting them to be girly about this at this point of time..Appy and RItz have tried time and again to convince both Navya and Anant to get back together and they accomplished nothing so far..Navya has asked them to help her forget Anant and they promised her they would do so..I was actually expecting both of them to get angry because Anant's ILU would just make things harder for Anant..I dunno, maybe I had a diferent perspective altogeher..🤔

Cut to the biggest scene of the episode. Anant Navya phone call of course (yes, sadly even I have to admit it was bigger than the Mohan-Anant convo 😆 ) So this was the scene that actually takes the episode to at least an above average - while again, I wont give it a 10/10 just like the confession scene itself, I admit it was a mega relief to not see the two of them stammering for their lives.

Although irrespective of his Navya front, Shagun is ot the right girl for him, his motivation to not just give in and lead his brother's second life in the house is fatally struck by Navya's hesitance.

I couldn't agree more..A lot of people are saying why is Anant asking her this question even though he knows she loves her..Yes, he knows but I feel he wants to draw some strength and confidence from her ILU..I also agree when you say Anant does not need navya's confession to break up with Shagun..Even if he did not love Navya that still does not make Shagun the right life partner for him..Besides he is WAY TOO YOUNG for all this marriage drama anyway..I like your take on why Navya did not confess..I think it was because she did not want to make things harder for Anant as she does not have any inkling about how Anant wants to break this engagement..but you bring a very interesting point when you say that she is not ready to fight for their relationship yet..Which again can be justified because she does no have an axe hanging over her head like Anant does..She does not need to confront her family right at the moment, does she?

Cut to Anant-Mohan (I'm not even going to go into Bua-Dadi being her usual freak self 🤢) - So turns out, despite Navya's lack of assurance, Anant has made up his mind - or perhaps his strategy is to deal with chapters one at a time.

Otherwise, for what was shown - thumbs up to the characters and actors (:

Blame the channel people for keeping that scene incompletely..Obviously they are not going to unveil the big plan on the last scene of a friday episode..I think they will continue with this scene on monday because as you said it was left incomplete..

Phew - my long essay ends! I didn't have the motivation to churn out a thread of my own, so I spilled my head right here - but you don't mind do you?! 😆 Except tha part of my playing the damp vamp and not going happy gaga over the episode in total 🤔 Pfftt..everyone's entitled to their opinion..Plus whats the fun in discussion if everyone agrees with everything..😛

Anyway - to your credit - you made the epi sound better than it was 👏 Is that a good thing or a bad thing?😆😆
