Nice post Rivs...
it was a decent episode except for Qureshi house, that house needs to be banned..
RV was good with the anger and angst scene and slowly he will get into the character...
SJ and Alka were superb,
HuHa scenes were OK and better than Qureshi drama

Rivs analysis is superb!!! U actually saw the entire scene 3 times!!! but loved the way u said all three aspects are acceptable and yup we need to see how he does in emotional scenes with D and Z to actually give him approval.

i couldnt watch the episode in one go but caught "BAS" in it and i loved it... We are used to seeing ASAD behaving in a certain manner.. So its very obvious we expect the ASAD to speak one statement with a small pause in between, almost mumbling while talking etc to list a few.

If Raqesh imitates that then ASAD would be doomed... i am glad he is giving his own flavour to ASAD and i m sure it will turn out to be good...

HuHa actually behaved as if it was some one else who had rape encounter the previous nite!!! khair its a show and we should just bypass these things..

Mohit is good..actually very good.. he is refreshing change to QH. looking frwd to his work

Qureshi's dont need any mention as they are bad, bad and some more bad 😆

Good post Rivs.. Loved it :)

Love Seera

I was busy the whole day yesterday, Pongal Shopping. Tried searching for sugarcane and Haldi leaves through the lanes and bylanes of the pink city, but to no avail.

Just now watched the episode.

Commenting below.

Every time Microsoft upgrades my MS Office software, I bang my head against the computer screen and also abuse them a lot. Because, they not only add features to it, they try to experiment with the look. With the last version, the menus and how they were placed changed. Took me a whole week to get my head wrapped around the change.

Even though I'm not a fan of MS products, but have got MS-Office installed in my i-mac. But, I don't upgrade the software.😆

Something similar is happening to me these days with the QH world.

Nice analogy. The minor QH upgrades, we ignored. The one major upgrade of one bhai, we applauded. The other major upgrade of the other Bhai is still being debated and the debate continues...

For a very long time, there was a face we identified as Asad. We have heard a voice that was Asad to us. We had felt the emotions and motions of Asad via that face and voice. And now, post the break, everything has suddenly changed.

The only saving grace is that for the past 3 months, we saw very little of Asad and whatever we saw was so unAsadlike, that I'm welcoming the change. It will be next to impossible for anyone else to play Asad of the earlier good old days, so RV should try to bring his own style to Asad. Over a period of time, we will get used to the new Asad.

Asad's hair has gone from long and unkempt to just unkempt but trimmed. The stubble is back, but trimmed in a different style. The clothing has been upgraded to colors (Purple jacket for Asad, really?😲) that I was not used to seeing before. These to me are minor changes.

God is in details Rivs. Hope the Creatives remember KSG's Asad and do a good job of explaining Asad to RV.

The biggest different the upgrade brought was the voice and the face. The essence and purpose of Asad remains, like my word example, but a lot has changed with how it appears to me. So I did a little experiment today. I watched the Asad scene 3 times.

1. First I just heard the voice. To see if I feel that the anger that was being pitched in the voice justified what I was expecting. I was surprised since i started with low expectations after the Zoyaaa from last week.

2. Second I watched in mute. I wanted to just focus on the emotions and portrayal of the anger on the face and on the person. I think that went well, yes, some nuances of Asad V1.0 were missing, but were they so big that I should write off Asad V2.0 and move on to another word editor? The answer is no.

3. Third I saw the scene on the whole and I was truly happy with the outcome.

I directly went to 3rd step,😆, then 2nd step and then 1st step.

Actually I had thought of wathcing it 3 times, but got so engrossed in Zoya-Razia duel, that I straightaway let Asad V2 walk and talk simultaneously.😉

The word "BAS", the shaking, the anger in the eyes, the protruding nerves, everything looked very good and a big round of applause to RV and the team for putting in so much effort in trying to get him up to speed on the character so fast.👏

Agreed to word.

As this point, I think Asad V2.0 has potential to succeed, but I think we need some very important scenes before we can give final judgement.

1. Scene with Dilshaad - emotional prowess

Hope Asad doesn't forgive Rashid after this. That would make for an emotional scene with Dilshaad.

2. Scene with Zoya - romance

Eagerly awaiting with fingers and toes crossed.

3. Frustrated scene with Zoya, the original magic of the Jodi.

Hope it is not "I want to spoil you more Zoya".😆

So far for me, Asad V2.0 is To Be.👍🏼. Final verdict after I get to see the above scenes.

PS: Gite - you asked for a post today. Here you go.

Thanks dear. So Gite it is.

PPS: I get carried away sometimes hence the long essay on V2.0😆

Pls. do get carried away more often. I like to read long essays.

Now to my comments on the episode.

Qureshi - Wish they would stop repeating the same scenes with same characters and same dialogues. If this house is unavoidable, at least show something new. What does Haseena gain by keeping a woman in drugged condition in her basement?

The whole Qureshi drama is being handled by team B. They cook up the story at the time of the shoot. No one knows where it is headed. That's the only way to explain it.

Jungle - From Dil to QSQT. I agree with others. If not for Haider, I would've gladly pressed the forward button. WHy are CVs painting Humeira's character on the lines of Zoya? Didn't like the rape accusation, now not liking Humeira's sudden oh-so-good feeling for Haider?

How torturous for us -

- We asked for Asya nikaah and got Najran Nikaah.

- We asked for Mangalpur part 2 and got HuHa drama.

Proved the saying that "Think before what you ask for, you may get it".

I hate the HuHa track myself. Why should Humy fall in love with him. Might as continue with the hate thing till my Ayaan is back. Ok now for the rational me, I am only barely watching their scenes. I don't enjoy watching Mohit do a Aamir, the Aamir I was in love with.

SM - Loved the verbal duel between zoya and Razia. Two fantastic actress, capable of making an ordinary scene extra ordinary. They share a very easy rapport which is pleasing to the viewers in spite of them being enemies. Asad V2 re-entry in QH and entry in SM was well written with some good dialogues and he executed it good, if not the best. Anyways for the past few months, we have stopped expecting the best, so was good.

Yes that scene was good. But my anticipation for the V2.0 was so high, I was only paying half attention to it.😆

Eagerly awaiting for real Asad scenes to start, after all the drama. Badi Bi's wheel chair is put to good use.

Yes. I saw the promo and it was good. They are giving RV a lot of angry scenes right now. I guess they want SJ/Shalini to develop an offscreen rapport with RV before they put in their one on one scenes. offscreen chemistry makes for even better onscreen chemistry

Rashid developed a spine, but has he developed a voice?

I am really not interested in this man and his doings. For real. I hate both the mother/son duo with a passion.

Overall an episode matching the monday blues.
