...Darmiyaan


Oh Sonal😆...you'll never be able to outgrow the NBT-ness, will you?😆

Finally the Yogesh track is serving some purpose instead of being a filler...today the threads were brought together to show how this track will serve as a catalyst in Shruti's realization.

Sanjay's instinctive phone call to Shruti at night set things in motion...he cut it off abruptly when he realized he can't just call her as easily anymore...but it woke up Shruti and she spent the rest of the night contemplating over Sanjay's words again...as Darmiyaan played beautifully in the background...my soft corner for this song vis a vis MM aside, it suited Shruti perfectly in that scene...the lyrics, the way the flashbacks were perfectly placed...a leaf falling on Shruti's hand reminding her of the time Sanjay blew the flowers out of her hair...Gautami looked so beautifully tragic.


In the morning, Shruti finds out about the Yogesh issue through the papers and calls Sanjay...I liked their convo here...as Sanjay told her he called her out of habit...and Shruti tells him he's changed...loved the unsaid communication in this bit...something definitely shifted for Shruti after her talk with her mother.

After that things moved quickly as Shruti calls Ashish and decides to testify for Yogesh...lol...Sanjay tries to stop her but she won't listen...they ended it on an almost confession from Shruti...Sanjay's gonna get it out of her tomorrow😆


Tomorrow: More expansion on last week's precap...the portion before that precap I guess...seems like a big epi tomorrow if they've shown two precaps over it😆

Back. Off to watch now.
Reserved? I guess 😆

*edit*

So maybe not watching the Friday episode has left a gap for me, because everything about the episode was going just fine, but I'm not too sure about the half-in-half-out confession from Shruti. I'm not sure if its the doing of the physical setting being a phone call, or something about the execution of the scene, it didn't come out as... spontaneously, perhaps? Was it intended as a sentence, almost slipped? I'm leaving reservation to tomorrow's episode, I guess. Plus, I should watch Friday - especially since you emphasize Shruti's shift after that conversation with her mother, Nur.

Otherwise. Sanjay instinctively calling Shruti. Shruti spending the remainder of the night with her dilemma. And especially the phone conversation the next morning - very well written, that. I love how Shruti's typical element makes a comeback in the face of crisis. She's her own kind of composed in the frame of solution finding. Not agitated, as she has been with the love confession 😆 I like how she can go back to that role of the best friend, because it's SO typical and credible between people who share bonds like that. And I absolutely loved par tum badal gaye ho... haina? It's not altogether a rhetoric, agreed, but there's a greater tone of... acceptance to it, which is not exactly resigned, and finally past the blatant denial or dispute to it. And there's a maturity about her saying that to him, after his plain up front stating of the fact on Thursday, instead of, I dunno, going in circles or simply standing to ignore that conversation, even as she slips back into her 'friend' mode 😆 It's a statement of her step forward. Of her acceptance of the REALITY of Sanjay's sentiments, of her NOT brushing them away - and of her, in her own way, making truce with them, even if it rests on the premise of a 'situation'. And for me, this was a better representation of the shift in her, even expressed, in a manner of expressing, than the half left sentence in the end (again, I need to watch Friday). And I liked how Sanjay said 'thanks' - almost tentatively 😆 Like he's putting it forth to see, what she does with it 😆 As if he's putting to test the extent of the acceptance that comes through her earlier words 😆 No seriously, I think the best part of this conversation was the underlying awareness between the two of what this truce is heading for, eventually. One in the process of overcoming denial, blah, blah. The other, in the process of gauging her progress overcoming the denial 😆

Also. Sonal can never not take some implicit digs 😆 😆 Sab picturon jaisa nahin hota, asal mein kanoon utna bi bewakoof nahin hai, rishtedaaron ki gawahi nahin chalti had me laughing, because it took me back to ALL the times of initial NBT days, when I'd rave, and rave about the 'CYNIC' 😆 😆

Of course, like you said Nurey, it's not just us who find NBT in Sanjay Shruti over and over - Sonal can't exactly let it go 😆 On which note, the picturization of that part was beautiful in its melancholy. Gautami is... enviable, in her grace. And again, the shift in her comes through by the lack of fight in her upset mode, at this point, as opposed to the episodes last week. I have to say, as hauntingly beautiful as Darmiyaan is, for a tune to play, that is the other thing about today I'm in half minds about. Like the lyrics fit, in a way, and I get it. But I don't find it doing justice quite entirely for Sanjay Shruti because what they have is not exactly, or at least not entirely, without or beyond a name. It could be just me. I find it more fitting for a couple like MM. But I can't exactly suggest a better option -perhaps they could have used one of their own show tunes... Oh well. No major issue - just... *shrugs*

Looking forward to tomorrow, for sure.

ps: Of course Shruti was going to offer herself for the devil task. In the same episode Sonal mocks the treatment of 'witnesses' in fictional law, and then contrives this solution for her own case anyway 😆

pps: Is that Yogesh dude dubious at any level to any one else, or just such a confusing actor? (Been stalking us from the days of Gulaal with that same freaking name too, if I remember right 😆) Initially I thought they were going to use Yogesh and Riddhi to show how Riddhi's nature, a version of her own mother, was going to be trouble in her wedding with a man who was generally noble. Sort of to indicate a similar mis-read analysis by Prabha in Shruti's case. Now they're using the case to bring Shruti and Sanjay to common ground, and confession. And I can no longer tell if that Yogi dude is that tortured, or secretly guilty of something. Not that I care...

ppps:Ashish is like a panacea for Sanjay Shruti 😆 Kuch zyada hi convenient hai... 😆 I would prefer a 'Guru', for obvious reasons 😛 😆

@Jzee: No I don't think Friday's epi would have made the confession seem any easier today...frankly I found that bit a bit abrupt too...didn't gel that much for me...but frankly I'm resigned to the fact that this issue is going to be resolved soon and shifted to the marriage problems...lol...this show was never a central focussed love story anyways.


I still hope that we get a good scene out of it tomorrow though when Sanjay confronts her...that will be better than this almost confession I think.

Moment of the epi for me has to be "Tum badal gaye ho...haina?"...something so tender about it...like she started to understand the shift better...so I'd count that as build up in her realization I guess.

LOL yes some things are too convenient like this Ashish...they use him conveniently and quickly to move the story fast.


Re: Darmiyaan...I think they were trying to go with the a different tone...we are so used to interpreting it for MM that it might be difficult to see the new tone but I kinda got it...they are best friends but the shift in the relationship has made the labeling change...'benaam rishta woh...bechain karta jo'...it's THAT transition and realization that I think they channeled today.

Oh, the focus is showing Shruti and her kids in her new family? I see... talking of which. That elder brother bit about the 'yellow book' was so ajib Only the other day he was making jokes with his father about women of the house taking so long to decide the menu. Now he mentioned totkas... 🤔 I don't care about the inconsistencies of Sanjay's family folks, waise toh, but why can't Prabha devi focus her attention on her actually demented kids, instead of chasing the only sane case? 🤓 The only reaction I register from the family scenes is sympathy for Sanjay and his dad 😆 Shruti toh bichari, in advance hi 😆 The one relatively interesting future prospect I can imagine is Ami vs Prabha 😆 I guess. 😛 And of course, Shruti will raise the number of 'sane' souls in the house to 3. God knows how wanting that family is of sanity and balance 😆

Tum badal gaye ho was beautiful. I think there are going to be a bunch of these one liners to remember back in time - Sonal keeps getting better with them. Even in a story where, as you say, the focus is not exactly the making of this couple.

And ni, I do understand the sense Darmiyaan is being applied in. In fact I do realize it's interesting that they use Darmiyaan post an explicit confession, because on Shruti's part, despite the confession and her gradual caving in, the khichaav, the inner turmoil is complicated in its very making, because what she's had with Sanjay in the past has always been so distinct and uncomplicated. I understand how this transition makes for benaam, bechain rishta, in that sense, especially. But when I say more suited to MM, I'm implying the general category of couples with lesser history, than Sanjay Shruti. And its not a contention I have to its use for Shruti's case, really, but a preference I guess, for it being used in a more MM like parallel. I suppose if I could think of a better song for Sanjay Shruti, I would have more reason to contend it.

Darmiyaan Is Pyaar Manga hai tumhi se coming?😆

There seems to be some jhol in Yogis story he was avoiding eye contact and appeared very shifty.I dont think he is involved in passport scam but he was not home either😆 So many irritating characters and no WU and even DM not working means have to watch whole epi

Sanjay calling Shruti and Shrutis fb was the best part.Shruti shutting her ears (just like Megha did😆) trying hard to deny something that has changed for her too. She knows Sanjays means much more than a friend but is scared to accept the change in her feelings. Gautami really excels in her scenes.

As for darmiyaan the lyrics suited the situation but the song as a whole has different meaning😕 I think the sad version of the title song has suited them the best.

Precap does suggest that Shrutis confession is coming and the story will shift to Joshipura house😒

@bold: Word. Me too waiting for Ami-Dad v/s Prabha😆 But the number of sane souls will increase to 5 ( Ami & kushbu😆)
