Foreshadowing - Kusum said it's a yes from her side. This dialogue was really well thought out, because it foreshadows that Kusum is the one who will get married to Saraswatichandra.
Parallels - Both of them were fully visible to us for the first time in water, one of the major elements. Will water play an important role in this show?
What I loved - The music! It was beautiful. I'm loving the background music for the show. The acting, HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO GAUTAM, JENNY, CHETAN AND MONICA! They did a terrific job. I knew they were great actors, but today they left me more in awe of their talent. Actually, it's the first time I saw Monica act, and her acting skills are splendid!
What I didn't like - Well, first of all, it's not very realistic to dream about the eyes of your lover. I guess they included it for story's sake, but one thing that's for sure is this show won't be very realistic, so I won't set my hopes on that. Another thing is characterization. It might be too early to tell, but the characters of Kumud and Saraswati, especially Kumud seems like a Mary Stu at this point. Let's see if they'll be given flaws later on.
Apart from that, well done Sanjay, Jennifer, Gautam, Chetan, and Monica! Great work!
