Thanks for the great update!
I still have a pounding headache, but otherwise I'm feeling much better now! Woo hoo adhark chai proves it can cure all ailments yet again!
Today's epi was so and so for me overall. I liked the first INSA scene, and the way Sanchi's mini fantasy of hitting Indu with the pillow came true! Lol it was so sweet how she got excited at the thought that Indu had made kheer for her; I guess she was eager to taste his fab culinary skills yet again after his chauchak khichdi!
Indu was adorable as he led her with his 'butter wouldn't melt' expressions, then pure glee as he succeeded in tricking her. Sigh I loved the moment when they both realized how close they were, and got utterly lost in each other's eyes. I found that instant very believable and surprisingly not cheesy or clich.
But alas the same wasn't to be said for INSA's big moment! I loved how Indu couldn't face Sanchi whilst reading his letter, and was so nervous as he poured out his heart to her. The highlight in fact of the whole epi had to be when Sanchi hugged him from behind, leaving him stunned. Swoon the way he had to touch her hand to affirm that this was really happening, before answering her, was so beautiful!
The liked how CV's showed that whilst Sanchi was impressed and pleased with the Indu's purchase of the ring by ethical means, she was floored and very touched by his letter. Sanchi isn't a material girl per se; she's a typical girl and likes fancy things, but she truly appreciates those things in life that are priceless. Like love, respect, good health etc. etc. Lol it took her awhile to realize the value of Indu's true love, but now slowly bit by bit she's coming to acknowledge how darn lucky she is to find someone who loves her so bloody much. Sigh I wish I could find another Indu for myself...if only to get my mother of my case!
Still the whole C of M scene went to pot the moment the damn wind machine was switched on! Ugh it was so cheesy then! The only moment I liked after that was Sanchi's breathless and agitated state when Indu came close to her. I think although she was still fearful, her desire to just be with him at that point overrode any other emotion. She was almost lustful and desperate as she gasped; it seemed like Indu's very touch was like the air she needed to survive. Hat's off to PS for nailing that shot and scene!
M&M scene was good too! I liked how Mannu left his house all determined after his dream to confess all to Mahek. At this stage I think he is genuine in his feelings towards her, but nevertheless, he is still a selfish man. I don't think he will hurt Mahek unless he thinks she has betrayed him; but we all know a scorned Mannu is not an enemy any of us would like to have...
Sigh I actually think in his own way Mannu is more deadly and cruel than anyone of INSA or Prabal.
Finally Veenaji gets another scene to showcase her spectacular temper tantrums! Loved how she made Shoba and Roop flee!
Pre-cap is foretells s 'DOH!' moment for Indu and us his unlucky fans. So far I'm giving Indu a little benefit of doubt. We don't know for what purpose the money was collected from the students; maybe it was for some reason similar to the reception money. In other words maybe Indu's boys got the students to donate towards getting INSA a joint gift. Question is did they give willingly or was their force required? Either way Sanchi nor Tarachand are going to be happy...
Also when it comes to the pension matter, maybe a volatile Indu reacted aggressively to cruel taunts directed towards Tarachand. If that is the case Sanchi, might not be too angry at him. I hope we see Sanchi instead of blindly believing her father, requesting Indu to tell his side of the story, before making any judgments.
@ Selvi lol still mind-to-mindIndu was adorable as he led her with his 'butter wouldn't melt' expressions, then pure glee as he succeeded in tricking her. Sigh I loved the moment when they both realized how close they were, and got utterly lost in each other's eyes. I found that instant very believable and surprisingly not cheesy or clich.
I loved that scene too

Wow I already loved that scene and when reading what you've worded it only makes it all the more delectable. and you perfectly nailed it about appreciative Sanchi was abt his letter...

Hey even if the fan was the only cheesy aspect the rest of it was quite good... if you imagine the kind of romantic scenes they'd shown during the start of Rubina track, this is really good... they did take their time... besides, you know what... i remember once stating that since RJN was so devoid of romance that i wouldn't mind if they had the cheesy tellywood styled romance i.e. flowers and breeze blowing and flowing dupattas and the lot... also, i don't think i've seen any serial where the SR didn't have breeze blowing in some form or other ๐

I loved that scene too when she turned away for a second... you've explained it so well... ๐ณ
