Episode Review 23/10: 100 Episodes Mubarak Ho!

I would take yesterday's mess over this episode, to be honest. It was nothing but a sad filler. What are they playing at and why so many angles now. They have a clear cut story with all the highs and the twists why the unnecessary drama. I would be selfish here, so I would have liked an episode with nothing but Rantara chatting silly or romancing each other. They are young couple and in love , hence would have made much more sense than this drag-fest.

I understand that there has to be a "class" issue between Raghu and Antara. I applaud them for trying to treat it but thats about it they went OTT with it.

These two belong to two different worlds- He is a street Massiah of sorts , a Bhai and she is an educated girl who grew up with no knowledge about the hardships of life. But what Satya doesnt know that she is just not that Antara anymore, her father's death has shaped and matured her overnight. She knows what it means to room on streets and fight for food. So no matter what ,she understands and accepts Raghu the way he is. For her, they both are too similar, lost kids making a destiny together. He understands her pain and brings her joy. There is nothing much she can ask for.

But Raghu is a different ball game, he is very assured confident and infact unfazed by Satya's accomplishments. Yet he is not aware of the extend with which Antara loves or respects him. So it is a bit normal for him to get worked up by the "what if's" that Satya throws at them. I think he needs a constant reassurance from Antara how he is all she needs. The thing is he is a child who never got so much unconditional love ever nor was his any wish fulfilled. So he considers Antara as a blessing , he has chanced upon. But I dont see him someone who would push Antara away in this process. He is a man who lays it down as it is- the second he would see antara putting down Satya and reaffirming herself emphatically it would be enough for him. See its not that he doesn't have faith in her love for him but its their different family backgrounds which will bother him for a minute but her love is so selfless and unconditional that it would give him energy to point that gun on his DM's son.

The reason I didn't like CV's interpretation was not just the tagging of Ruku but also they spend too much time in highlighting it. They could have cut it short and rather given us a meaningful dialogue from Antara to Raghu in front of Satya about how similar the two lovers are and nothing else matter . I hope they do that tomorrow and Ruku's presence was unnecessary.

Well there wasn't much to the episode today. Yeah we know Antara went to a fake Hogwarts where she was taught music, medicine and English simultaneously. And now she is in muggle world where she couldn't find a decent job even with her magical abilities. And Satya don't ruin the classics. P&P , you wish.

So, I am guessing everyone is reeling with the super fast wedding preps. See more than the marriage track its Raghu's realization about the bomb blast which is scary. No rational girl , including me, can ever be with someone who has been directly or indirectly involved with her parent's death. And Antara is a daddy's girl through and through , so more than Raghu's absence from the shaadi mandap it would be this fact which is going to be the biggest roadblock in their love story. How to do you love a person who has given you the biggest grief? Thats the premise basically, Raghu , guilt laden would push Antara in more misery by trying to separate himself from the her but when he will realize that he has now killed her soul completely , he would move mountains to make her life ok.

He would continue to shadow her and try to redeem himself . He has a long angst filled journey ahead. He would be her savior and the destructor . He has a tough job ahead. So, I say , its going to be ugly , but what will emerge out of it would be something worth appreciating.

Pre-marital sex- No big deal. They are in love. As I say always they both were emotionally vulnerable when they found each other, their love has given them an anchor and a objective to live for. There is simply no inhibitions , fears , misunderstandings between them . They are Do dil EK Jaan and this is their way of celebrating their togetherness. Its necessary here as it means there is no turning back for Antara, even in her hate she would never be able to love anybody else. She would have her soul and body etched with Raghu's impressions. Even if she marries Satya, he would never have her. There is nothing left to her. She would be a walking corpse. And her this condition would continue to drive Raghu to the edge. He would blame himself and try to take her pain go away. The unspoken love. I don't see her married for too long even if they go that way. I see her totally broken with Raghu's absence. That would be enough for her to leave for Kashmir. The only problem with that is Satya would be irrelevant, so CV's might try to give him a high and abuse his character more and make him a focal point of Rantara's life. His character can only be killed , there is no way he can be sidelined like say DM. Akshay has made it too big and loathsome for some easy way out. So all I would say is that no matter what I am never ditching this ship. It was meant to be this way so be it. If I can wish to see a girl forgiving and loving a man who was involved in any way with her father's death than a little marriage track won't faze me out.

As long as its DO Dil EK Jaan , I am game for anything!

So, its 100th episode now, think they don't count the pilot episode. Super happy to be part of it as a viewer. Good luck and Congrats to the team and big love to the forum members for being so brilliant and awesome!

My liking for today's episode is mainly because of the rock bottom expectations that I had of it, and the fact that Antara saw through Satya... And I quite liked those subtle moments between Raghu and Antara, to be honest.

I understand that there has to be a "class" issue between Raghu and Antara. I applaud them for trying to treat it but thats about it they went OTT with it.

Yeah, this mystery about Antara's education is not going down well with me. They have to make up their mind, really. And oh Satya! If he has read even a page of P&P I'll eat my hat. Such a wannabe!😡

So, I am guessing everyone is reeling with the super fast wedding preps. See more than the marriage track its Raghu's realization about the bomb blast which is scary.

About the consummation part, I am also quite fine with it, although I know some fans are not very comfortable with the idea. They are a couple deeply in love, to the extent that they have surrendered everything to each other. Their's has always been a mature relationship. Raghu or Antara, neither of them have ever tried to hide their feelings towards each other, not to themselves, nor to others. And physical attraction is very much part of a romantic relationship. Their love is pure, and as you say, it is a way of celebrating their beautiful relationship. There is nothing desperate or wrong about that.

Satya's character surely has become too loathsome, that I absolutely loathe every second of his existence in the show. My problem with the marriage track is that it would mean more screenspace to Satya, which is again more torture to my eyes. I would however not ditch Rantara for anything, I love them far too much for that. The most I'll do is to skip scenes of Satya.

So, its 100th episode now, think they don't count the pilot episode. Super happy to be part of it as a viewer. Good luck and Congrats to the team and big love to the forum members for being so brilliant and awesome!

Lmao, you can actually do this at US universities. Major in whatever you want (ie English), take required pre-med classes, ace the MCAT and apply for Med-school. Learning music only adds to her chances of getting in--it makes her stand out as being well rounded. Maybe, they have universities like that in Kashmir as well. 😆
