Let me start on a positive note, and first talk about the things I liked.
Positives:
Raghu was very very cute tonight. His smile, his excitement, his happiness at knowing that he is in love with his Miss Kaul, and that probably she too reciprocates, was so infectious. I couldn't help but smile. His cute antics, his conversation with Bappa, his funny tapori lingo, his monologues in front of the mirror, his funny English! Can this guy get any cuter? I felt like pulling his cheeks.
"In my red red heart, you are coming and going..." 😆LOL! The dialogues were as usual, very good.
My favorite part of the episode was the conversation between Raghu and Antara. It was very well done. The initial awkwardness, the shyness, Raghu's stammer, his being unable to speak his heart out, Antara's anticipation of what he was going to tell... all that was very well executed. Ayaz and Nikita excelled in tonight's episode.
Mixed reaction:
The big revelation of Daya Mai's connection with Aman and her involvement in Dr.Kaul's murder was a high point of the episode and was nicely done, but I feel it was revealed a bit too soon. It could have waited for a couple of days more. Must say, I am hating DM more and more with each episode.
Soon, we are to have the entry of another negative character in the show, namely Satya, and wished at least tonight and tomorrow we would get some peaceful Rantaralicious moments without interruption by DM/Aman. Alas, I guess that would not be the case. In a way, I think even upcoming Satya's entry seems a little rushed.
Another thing that concerns me is that Ruksana seems to like Raghu more than just a friend. I don't know what implication this has in the future story, but I really hope Ruksana remains a very positive character. I don't think any of us can handle anymore negativity in the show. Now, instead of a love triangle, we seem to be in for a quadrilateral, and I don't like it at all!
Negatives:
Now, coming to the part I have most complaints with- the song sequence. After the various segments we got over the weekend and yesterday's precap, I had great expectations from it, but I have to say, it was a complete let down. It looked very out of place, and rushed. Even the choreography could have been much better. I expected a lot more from the man behind the famous "Kurbaan Hua" sequence in Geet. The natural flow, or transition between the first scene and the song, and then the next scene, was unfortunately lacking here. It felt like it has been cut and placed in between. I've always thought the editing in Jaan was not up to the mark, but tonight, it was outright sloppy in the song sequence.
Antara's portions and the portion that was shown in yesterday's precap were good, but apart from that, the sequence was disappointing. If it was shown as Raghu's dream sequence, I feel it would have made more sense. This was like, one moment Raghu was having his conversation with Ruksana, and the next moment, he was dancing away with Machmach & Ruksana. Where the hell did Machmach come from? And isn't Machmach supposed to be Raghu's best friend? Couldn't we have had Raghu making a sensible conversation with him regarding his feelings for Antara? If Machmach didn't know why Raghu was so happy, why was he even dancing? It looked so weird and disconnected. There was no smooth transition from and to the scenes before and after the song. It looked very rushed. The editing department of the show needs to buck up, really.
I really really hope tomorrow's episode makes up for all this. And please, can we have at least two happy episodes of proper Rantara moments, before Satya enters? I am not keeping my hopes up, but well, I could at least wish!
