So highlights of the episode, starting off from the closing comment Mazzy left on the last thread, Mohan ji seems to be feeling very hawt hawt atm 😆 Hair cut kara liya, street fighting kare hain, and "wet and hawt" scene bi tha *haaye! who says this show doesn't cater to fangurls?! 😛*
On a serious note - Mohan's haircut moments are epic strategically placed. Pichle time RIGHT after the big PraCreep showdown when MM had become taaza dost log, he'd donned "good boy". This time when Megha is OBVIOUSLY so effing off his case, he goes and chops zulfein to be "good boy" again. Arey Mohan babu, if haircuts could redeem your laphanga image toh baat hi kya thi 😆 Ab kripa karein and ye hair cut plan at the frequent most be half yearly bana lein, pleej. Warna Megha ko impress karte karte, kahin fangurls bi chod na dein 🤓
Moving on with highlights. Karma hits Megha ji in the most unexpected way yet! For all her berating of Mr. Musibat, now she gets tagged Mrs. Musibat 😆 What wouldn't I give for Renu to call her EXACTLY that in FRONT of Mohan?! Man, I'd PAY to watch his reaction, not even kidding 😆
I liked how we had these parallel moments btw. Mohan chidding himself to have created musibat for her again - oh just get used to it already Bhatnagar! No one really loses their Midas touch that easy 😆 And Megha in the mandir praying to not create any more musibat either 😆 Bichare, adat se majbur log 😆
@ fight sequence 🤣🤣🤣 ho kya raha tha wahan?! 😆 Mohan didn't just get into this EPIC-ly hindi serial TRP making fight stunt, but actually touched up with the impact of lines like "usse kuch ho jata toh pata main tera sath kya karte? khod deta yahin pe be!!!" 🤣🤣 And the spectator debate over whether to swoon at pati ka patni ke liye pyaar or go haww hush hush haww about the filmy scene Not to forget the bad guy in green who gets paid to be beaten to pulp saying "haath pakad ke laya kar fir isko" 🤣🤣🤣 Yaar villain log be bade rangeele hain iss show mein 😆
Khair, on a serious note, I asked myself the obvious question - were they really showing us this uncharacteristic Mohan beats up guy to shit sequence?! And I can only find one possible answer. It was building up from Thursday. It wasn't the guy, or him hitting Megha or yelling at her alone - it was ALL the storm and impatience building up in him at Megha's constant snub and cold shoulder all day long! Renu ki band bajana was his first and brief respite, and yahan toh he just LOST it! It was like he had to get the frustration out of his system - and no, I still think it was a crappy idea to give us this scene, but just trying to make remote sense.
What I did like about the scene was how the MM dialogue started off before - Mohan asking Megha why she wasn't talking, again - like you said Usha, he already has the answer, why the repetition? I was sticking to the same reason I had on Thursday, Mohan could sense HIS role in making Megha retreat into this not talking recluse! She could have told him a million other very credible reasons, but at some intuitive level I think he can sense he's done it. Made it happen. And it's like he's subconsciously pushing her to say what he only subconsciously knows, because being the kind of guy Mohan is, I think it's not within him to keep up this whole "containment" act about his feelings in general! Even though in awareness his fear of losing her friendship makes him hold back, a part of him would feel IMMENSE shift of weight and great relief when this just gets out there in the open between them, so he doesn't have to keep living in these make believe ways! Whatever the consequences of the fact coming in open, just caging it up inside is NOT a Mohan thing to do! He doesn't do it well, even when he gets compelled into spots where he must, like holding his grudge against Rashmi, or holding back Prateek's truth from Megah, and now his love...
Btw, Mohan telling Megha why can't they talk like mature adults, and then launching a gunda attack at a random biker minutes later was SO EPICLY out of line 😆 But the dialogue itself was good. And Mohan, if you're listening, Nurey ji has given you THE ANSWER. 😆
The BEST part of the scene, as everyone said, was obviously the closing MM moment. Megha's single tear and the range of emotions in her eyes. If she could do it by just looking at him, she would be shaking him up till this "pyaar ka bhoot" was shaken out of his last fiber! She just feels so anguished at multiple levels, hit by his concern, and hit by the meaning of it. Hit full force by the junoon. What I REALLY liked about her reaction was how unwavering her gaze was! She never fluttered her eyes away in coy or unable to hold his intensity sort of way - and that just fit SO well with what SHE feels about him being in love with her!
Mohan on the other hand - sigh, heartbreaker. His transition from the venting of all day long's frustration in that momentary rage, to the sight of that tear rolling down her face, to an awareness of what he was doing... For some reason, I was greatly reminded of Megha from the Rangreza sequence in this bit - because finally the hint of accusation is showing clear in her eyes. The good part is, her accusation is NOT in a violated sort of way, but as Nur had said, in this sheer annoyance of WHY he's gone and turned this perfect bonding all round into such an utter mess! And Mohan could see her knowing as clearly in her eyes as Megha could see the junoon. It's beautiful how much they read in each others gaze all the time - even if later he still needs Guru to smack his head and say it out for Majnu again 😆
Mohan on the terrace raining water on himself Kitnaaa un-Mohan like gesture tha! Thank god that hanky appeared to salvage the scene for me - because yes Nurey, bias or not, hanky just makes my episode brighter ☺️ I smiled, just like Mohan, and that reaction was so expected and spontaneous in that moment, despite the preceding without fathomness of his reactions! It was like sight of the hanky and POOF, alien Mohan vanishes and returns our original Spidy who can STILL throw in dhakkan Mohanisms at this point at himself 🤣 MG scene that followed - haha! Man, Guru is such a cutesy partner in Mohan's secret of "pheelings" which are *cough* no longer so secret *cough* as he plainly states for Majnu Bhatnagar to know 😆 I just loved the way Mohan actually ASKED him tuje kaise pata pyaar ka chakkar hai - it's just EPIC CUTE the way Mohan can and does ask Guru to say the obvious things ALL the time, and then the way Guru says it in this know it all and better patronizing manner - they just SO need each other for their respective nautankiyaan 😆
*why, WHY couldn't Mohan's hair just stay the mess it was in this scene in those that followed too?! Shoots the salon guy mentally for his heinous crime 😳 *
Megha Jiji scene was the true making of this episode. While Mohan "entertained and enthralled" Megha Jiji scene actually brought about movement to the plot. Megha's thought process finally, distinctly out before us to inspect! And just goes out to redeem so much more of her character! Thank you writers. This is the protagonist we were holding onto. The one who could SEE things, Speak them out loud without shocking herself into several minutes of de re na or other tune paralysis, not be coy or shy or unrealistically ostriching out of every fact that she stated clearly instead, but show the agitation (SO appropriate coming from her) in Mohan heading for this dead end! In his complicating what was so simple and beautiful and warm in her life again - this friendship with a wonderful and genuine guy that she REALLY wants to hold onto, but CANNOT anymore, because it's so hard and awkward and weird to connect and interact with him the same way as before WHILE knowing of the shift in dynamics! Yes. Megha spoke like ANY other lady would in this spot where a really good friend fell in love with her, who did not reciprocate it at all! Honestly, what I like BEST about her dialogue and venting in this scene is how, without or without the "Amar restriction" - there is ALL the sense and logic in why she feels so annoyed with this turn of events! If one ignores that Amar is a constant in her life, EVEN SO, this is VERY much a single sided love story at this moment, and given that status quo, Megha's frustration with Mohan is SO understandable! I LOVE that she can distinguish the kind of person he is from the knowledge of his being in love with her! I'm glad that she cannot hold it against his character and question it! I'm glad then, that somewhere at the bottom of it all Megha realizes Mohan's love is not in the passing, not a flimsy, not something just sparked from "moments" but something deeper and HENCE more problematic in this current situation where she doesn't return his feelings!
Jiji's reactions to all of Megha's rant, esp the bit where she tells her of Mohan confessing and taking it back - aww, Jiji is SO TEAM MOHAN all over and already! Way to GO JIJI!
Renu and her CID giri is going to be thwarted, I just know. I think for the time being, all the family end and public drama for MM's scandal is done with - abi there is no immediate confrontation and character questioning coming up directly anytime soon just the usual sourpuss treatment in general... I feel like things will just fade into a vague limbo on all fronts except MM themselves and they will make SOME progress out of this cold war stalemate and then perhaps, the next strike, just when, say, Megha begins to get okay about Mohan's feelings but still being friends with him...
Anyway. That's just speculation. I feel like Jiji might have something to do with thwarting Renu's plan tomorrow - or perhaps even just her chase of Guru, and cutting his wings *oh don't you wish?!*
Meanwhile THE most interesting part is the precap of course. I'm personally MEGA excited that it's going to be out in the open between them. REALLY hoping Mohan will be Mohan enough to stand on his feet and words. And the fact that Megha is bringing it up without mincing words so much is REALLY a good sign to me! That's where and how I see Megha! Confronting it when cornered by Mohan who refuses to let the case be despite all her snubs! I'm really keeping fingers crossed for the scene. If it's GOOD, I'll even ignore the hair cut. I think...
