TREATMENT shall be key to everlasting enjoyment....can this track make us want to go back and watch the scenes again and again....like Golden RBO? Ummmm.....the jury is out on that...lets wait and watch

I think the MMS looming over us can only be solved by Bobbitting Rahul

Hey Aditi....

Wanted to comment on 3 things before I go further on my CC post-reading spree😆

1) The whole 'inspiration' thing.....deffo noteworthy......being actually inspired by a concept and weaving it into the narrative is applauseworthy, but for a product as original and as promising as RBO, this aspect needs to be better thought out!!.....case in point.....the current Swades track....only wish the whole transformation of the carefree Shaan to the insightful Shaan would have been better spaced-out; even his expressions on giving away the samosas to the children was only of delight followed by realisation of his sense of hunger....and the very next epi has him mouthing lines like "meri toh bhook hi mar gayi!!!"

2) JVM is one of my all time fav 'love stories' too!!!😊 Kareena's OTTness completely internalised (seems to be my favorite word these days!😉) and absolutely fluid, and Shahid's calm demanor....the perfect foil to Kareena's madness!!

3) KTs post-proposal debacle confrontation scene.....definitely features in my TOP 3 Shaan scenes of RBO...the whole intense, angry, jilted lover thing.....what poise....what restraint....what a mature performance to put it simply!!!👏 Yashu, I thought, was actually very good in this sequence...the whole tremble in her voice thing....classic!!! In fact her emoting complimented his histrionics quite brilliantly!! She goofed up though big-time in her monologue in the post-proposal kitchen sequence....very superficially done, that!!! Since we're discussing KTs intense avatar, would like to mention a scene which brings out his intense yet vulnerable facet brilliantly well.....the recent poolside sequence with Khanak during the Sunny track which, IMO, is his best thus far!!! There are some moments of absolute brilliance in that sequence.....moments that he will be proud to grow old with!!!👏

Okay a bit late.

Just wanted to mention some things that struck me/made an impact.

The sharp turnabouts these characters produce when needed-Shaan going from completely clueless to extremely mature and worried about the Dhulwadi villagers and their problems and feeling like he owes them something.

And if he has to go on a guilt trip can he go on one regarding the whole infidelity issue first?Or at least simultaneously?

The inability of the writers to portray Shaan and Khanak as strong individual characters simultaneously- Khanak asking Shaan to return home just because he gave 2 samosas to the kid?Back to Mumbai?Even though her home village is suffering?I wouldn't mind her giving him food but this is too extreme!

Despite all my issues with the character portrayal liked the Shaan-Khanak scene.Its the first step towards a more mature Shanak.I just hope they retain their Shanak-ness though.

Oh and loved that few seconds close up we got towards the end when they face each other.It was un-intensely intense.

Sunil-Madz are the cutest buddhas! I just hope RBO doesn't go on to caricaturize their characters.

Mangal-Shaan-Sarpanch scene: Miss Pankaj Dheer.Thank god things are making sense now-them going to the Sarpanch first was very realistic.

Love Mangal! He might not be the AG but I love this guy all the same.

Loved how they ended it with hot-headed Shaan.
