I so wish that the writers had done a better job justifying Jeevika's decision to leave but they haven't even attempted to make her character somewhat logical. Swamini Bua hasn't taunted her again, instead she is all smiles. Everyone is happy, they've forgotten the recent painful events but Jeevika seems alien to all of it?! 😕 I pray there is some big hidden reason which will justify her current stupidity.
Leaving that complaint aside, I still thoroughly enjoyed todays episode. The heavy duty & cheesy dialogues do make some memorable scenes but it's the small moments which make a difference to me.
- Jeevika realising she needs to be with Manvi as the latter will be missing her.
- Manvi's eyes searching for her Di who enters at the perfect time (Had a huge grin on my face)
- Manvi's over-excitement. Ever seen a bride so hyper? Of course, Di is there trying to calm her down.
- Flower ka rishta. Both sisters wearing the same jewellery for their mehndi *wipes tear drop*
- Jeevika looking at her baby sister so proudly & tearfully. I know it's partly to do with her dumb decision to leave but even if that wasn't the case, she would still have been overwhelmed that her Manu is getting married.
- 'Meri Banno ki aayegi Barat'- Not just the song sequence, but the little second where Manvi gives Jeevika the heads up to convince her to dance. Very minor but Manvi's command, Jeevika obeys (those eyes could not say no to her). Manvi on the other hand getting so excited seeing her Di dancing that she gets up herself.
- Their little talk at the end. Wouldn't it be interesting if they could open up the closed book of Swamini Bua?
It's the small things which count. Everyone notices the larger than life scenes between the sisters but those blink and miss moments between them are just as precious.
