Tere mast mast do nain, mere dil ka le gay chain ….

 

… this pretty much sums up today's episode.  A fantastic end to the week with a sensual, passion filled Maaneet episode that had the viewers swooning all over the place.  For most of the week, we'd been cribbing about the stinginess of Geet HSP in showing passionate Maaneet scenes, we were wailing about the slowing down of Manneet chemistry. Guess we'd become too complacent in our cribbing and we got hit by truckloads of romance today.  No one seems to be in a fit state to complain…LOL !

 

Watching the passion play between Maaneet made me very happy for them.  At the same time I wanted to take a look at how Geet got to where she is today….kinda taking a step back and trying to take a look at the big picture.  What better way to look at it than compare the past with the present ? 

 

Thanks to Anj and Shreya for pointing me to this promo.

 

Wo antariksh mein jaane wali peheli mahila nahin,

wo kisi company ki chairman bhi nahin,

naahi wo koi sports champion hai,

na wo rashtrpati na pradhaan mantra hai,

par phir bhi laakhon mahilaon ke liye prerana banegi wo,

kyon ki usne zindagi jeene ka faisla kiya apni sharto par.

Miliye Geet se

 

So in the span of a few short months, we've been held spell bound by the travails of Geet. We've been watching religiously her journey

-         from the obscurity of her home in HP to the big city of Delhi

-         from being a happy, lively, fun loving girl into someone who had to grow up overnight

-         from being tricked into a fake marriage to fighting to make a respectable living in the city

-         from being tricked by a sauve, NRI fakester Dev to being taught to stand up tall and fight her battles by a rich, arrogant yet fair tycoon

-         from someone who gave up her way of life to protect the life growing inside her to the confident child-woman who is willing to stake her life for her child and the man she loves

-         from being the girl who was looked down upon by her familiy for being a female to the child-woman who is worshipped by her soulmate

 

So yes, I was extremely happy to see Geet embarking on her new status in life looking forward confidently to a life of happiness with her Maan.

 

@ the Boutique

-------------------

Maan seductively dissolving Geet's doubts about him not paying attention to her choice of trousseau, tapping into the reservoir of passion, barely held in check.

 

- the way Maan wipes off the gold glitter from her cheek.

 

Barry such beautiful dialogues –

 

-         chudi ki khankhanahat bilkul tumhari haseen jaisi hai

-         tumne mujhe jeena sikha diya, muskurana sikha diya, bas ….hamesha mere saath rehna zindgi bhar ke liye, rahogi na ?

 

The helpful store attendant unknowingly says …shaadi bhi ek hi baar hoti hai na.  Notice the unconscious jerk in Maaneet….at the whiff of reality.  But loved the way Maan assured Geet by linking his fingers with hers.  Yes, they have to face the real world one day with Dev/NT, Arjun, legal cases and all …but not at this special moment.

 

So now it's Geet's turn to wipe off the glitter from Maan's cheek.  Loved the authority shown by Geet. Maan seemed to like it too.

 

But I think Maan did a better job of wiping off the glitter from Geet's cheek…with much more feeling than Geet.  I guess Geet was lost in feeling the texture of his cheek more than wiping of the stain

 

Maan's possessiveness

----------------------------

I thoroughly enjoyed the measurement taking scene with Masterji.  Geet seemed to have caught on to Maan's possessiveness early in the game seeing his reaction to Masterji's questions and her naughtiness kicks in.  Oh, how I loved watching Maan squirm and then swivel around when Masterji asked Geet's name and says 'what a sweet name'….when he asked her to take off her dupatta … when he bends down to measure her ankle….LOL !  That was just tooooo much for Maan.  He's on a mission to drive away the Masterji …could have very well shipped him off to Timbuktoo !!  Did u see the way he tosses back the dupatta at Geet while he's dealing with Masterji….ROFL !!!

 

Fantastic performance Gurmeet !  U brought out the jealous fianc fabulously.

 

Geet must have egged Masterji on to estimate the level of Maan's possessiveness but in the bargain got more than she could handle.  Maan ki moam ki gudiya to bilkul pighal rahi thi….awww !

 

Maan's measurement taking session was sensually divine….a one-way ticket to Maaneetlok !  Oooh I loved the candlelight….classic Nissar and Maaneet style.

 

Beneath the passion one can still see a glimpse of the sleeping tiger. Geet, tum sirf meri ho aur mein tumhe share nahi kar sakta….but Maan is equally surprised when Geet confesses 'aap bhi sirf mere ho'

 

Maan is surprised further by his Mishti…when she gives him permission to kiss her.

 

Guess we have to wait until next week to see if he collects his payment :))

 

Arjun-NE in the elevator

------------------------------

Seems like CVs are showing us another option at romance.  Testing to see how we react to Arjun-NE's chemistry. They are still building up his character…will need to have him ready by the time Maaneet wedding ends.

 

In the meantime, let's sit back and enjoy the Big Fat Indian Maaneet wedding.  Leave logic at the door and join in the festivities.  I fully plan to do so.

 

Nissar, Hrishikesh – good execution, lighting, setting, camerawork.  Seems like you're testing us with the Arjun-NE elevator scene. It's nowhere close to the Maaneet elevator scenes but I'm open to new players.

 

Barry – fantastics dialogues

 

CVs – storyline is making the most of the pre-wedding scenes. But I'm hoping that u r furiously working in the background to pick up the storyline after the wedding.

 

Gurmeet, Drashti – pls take a bow for your fantabulous performances today. Strawberries and chocolate all the way !

Geet's journey

 We should never forget that this is the story of Geet and her battle against evil and her eventual triumph. She embodies the situation many hapless women find themselves in - married off before they complete their education, abandoned by their NRI husbands and having no one to turn to as they are shunned by their families.

This is the story of one such woman who has the courage to stand up for herself and her unborn child and carve a niche for herself. Along the way she finds a soul mate who will stand with her through thick and thin and friends who believe in her and will go the distance to help her. The basic core of decency, innocence and goodness attracts everyone to her including her soul mate - the one man who had always been a lone wolf - the most eligible bachelor of Delhi.

This is the story of the woman who a lot of people wanted dead and how she taught one man to live, love and became his sole reason for living. 😃

This is the story of a woman who will see her culprits punished against all odds and a man who will take on the world and his own family for her. 😃

This is a story of a girl who was forced to become a woman and fight her her rights at a time that she was supposed to be having fun. This is the story of how she succeeded in making a place for herself in the very same society that once disowned her.

This is the story of a woman who had to leave the only home she had ever known for an unknown city to save the life of her unborn child and ended up creating an identity for herself. She also ended up making a home for a man who had not known one for a long time because he had chosen to distance himself from his family. 😃

This is the story of a woman who lives with a passion and will anything to save the man she loves.

Last but not the least, this is the story of a woman who will be an example for young girls to follow everywhere. I want Geet to become active in charitable activities and use the Khurana fortune to advance the cause of those girls who are not as fortunate as her.

Episode analysis

People have waxed eloquence about the epi and I just have a few more things to add 😆 😆 😆

1) Hats off to you for showing the new bold avtaar of Geet 😈 - wanting a straight answer from her man and luring him in with the promise of a kiss  👏. Attagirl Geet 👍🏼
Maan dude do you even know what you are getting into 🤣 🤣.........you will find out after marriage that you got more than you bargained for 🤣 🤣......when you realize that kudi is going to have the upper hand in all areas 😉 and can make you dance to her tune at will 🤣 🤣

2) Maan's possesiveness regarding Geet was really funny to watch and so was his jealousy for the old tailor touching Geet 🤣🤣.......he is like a 2 year old going MINE MINE MINE 😈.....and clearly indicates that he does not like to share 😉......to which kudi replies that you are mine too and I ain't sharing either. 😉 Take that Sameera whether you exist or not, whether you will show up or not 😈........ our kudi is a sherni who can kick her sher's butt if needed 😉......not to mention anyone who tries to chase her sher......did you not hear the woman.......he is all hers and no one else gets to play with him 😈

3) Geet playing with Maan using the poor Masterji as a pawn 🤣🤣 was just hilarious to watch because it was a pure display of female power 😈.......she knows which buttons to push exactly to make him do exactly what she wants. 🤣🤣

4) DD and GC were brilliant and outstanding ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.......I especially loved DD's performance when Geet tells Maan he can kiss her. She brought out the hesitation at doing that, but then she throws caution to the winds and grabs the bull by the horns and goes ahead. Maan thinks Geet had not bargained for the fact that he would fess up to being jealous and possessive. Yehahahahahaha 😈.....think again dude.....she has you exactly where she wanted you and you think it is all your doing 🤣🤣 .....wah wah Geet 👏 👏 👏......age old woman trick of making the man think it is all his idea in order to get your own way. 🤣🤣

5) Of AnAr the less said the better. Why was the woman screeching like a banshee 😕 😕.....ah my poor ear drums and her expressions 🤣🤣......I almost fell off the couch and hurt myself .......she is terrible. Is that why Arjun was trying to kill them both up by lighting a match in a stalled elevator. 🤣🤣 ...........oh my sweet lord .........it was like having a bucket of cold water thrown on you after the hot Maaneet romance. .......those 2 have zero chemistry 👎🏼

6) What was up with those golden disc shaped bacteria floating around? 🤔

7) The editing was a mess once again 🤢

8) The background music was louder than the dialogues..................MAAAAHHHIIIII 😡......tone it down will you 😡.......Barry writes such beautiful dialogues 😍 and we can barely hear it thanks to all that horrendously loud background music 😡

9) NE better not be mean to Geet and make Geet cry. I will personally kick Maan's butt if he takes NE's side on this. 😡

10) The wedding better go off without a hitch else ........😈



*************************************************************************************************



Moi is late but moi has lotsa ideas - but one warning to the CVs before I share my ideas 😡 ...... you use any of my ideas an Urjun-NE 😡  .................. I will hunt you down and kill you (Achmed style)

1) Maan should tell Geet that he will teach her how to make lasagna and then turn the whole process into a game where he gets really naughty with her and she is like let me go someone will come. Maan of course has already banned all the servants from the kitchen. Shaana character that he is 😉 😎

2) Maan making a cup of tea for Geet and taking it to her. Geet has been running around all day and is tired. She is touched by his gesture but thinks that he only brought the tea and compliments Nakul on the tea. 🤣 Maan is ticked off and fumes 😡 . Nakool confesses that Maan made the tea. Geet cutely manaofies Maan. ☺️

3) Maaneet pull a fast one on daadi and NE. They stage a huge fight because they figure out that NE-daadi are setting them up and threaten to call off the wedding. 🤣 Maaneet get a little carried away and you can see that the other is getting irritated by what one says 🤣. Daadi and NE are worried and make plans to send them to spend some time together by themselves 🤣. This is what Maan wanted all along and he convinced Geet to go along with it by telling her that they are just having fun 😛. Geet of course tries to convince Daadi and NE that it is not necessary because there is lot of work to do for the wedding 🤣 and Maan rolls his eyes thinking what am I going to do with her 🤣. Finally they get some time off where they have a cute fight about what they said to each other when they were with daadi-NE. Then both apologize, make-up and then have a fun time with the dinner and the moonlight stroll in the gardens.

4) We need a scene where Maan calls Geet the night before the wedding to tell her that they will be together from the following night. DO NOT SCREW UP THIS SCENE 😡. It must clearly convery joy, anticipation, supressed passion (from both sides) and a little fear (from Geet's side). Maybe daadi comes over to sleep next to Geet or maybe Meera, so that they can allay her fears that everything will be ok. They have just finished when Maan calls and assures her that everything will be fine.

5) Geet choosing the color scheme for their room to be a harmonious blend of red and white. 😃
Maan helping her pick out the furnishings. They go shopping together for this. 😃

6) Maan presenting Geet with a  heart shaped locket with both M and G intertwined and asking her to wear it always. 😃

7) Maan wedding gift to Geet is to transfer her land back to her name and he gives her the papers before the wedding.

Will think up more 😆 😆 😆

Theme of the show

 

If I correctly remember the initial promos of the show- they were about how every parent would want to name their daughter Geet. If I were to look at the promos alone, and forget for a moment all that came after, one would assume that the show would be about a girl who did something exceptional. May be stand up against society and fight for her rights, bring her culprits to justice (it was evident early on that the show would be about fake NRI marriages), or how despite being away from her family and support system in a foreign land, the girl still fought for her rights.

 

If I were to just look at the title of the show- GHSP, then I would assume that the story is about a woman who inspite of being alienated from all that she holds dear continues to fight her battle and does not give up.

 

Now if I look back at the 7-8 months that the show has now been on air and try and gauge what has been the underlying theme of the show- then it was been the evolution of Geet- the innocent child into Geet- the young and (sometimes) strong woman. From being a sheltered, naive, repressed teenager in small town India she has grown to become a mature, confident and determined young woman. The change in her personality is pretty tangible if you compare the HP Geet with the Geet in Delhi (and for a moment I am ignoring the writers' motivation behind this overnight change). Instead of accepting all that is dished out to her, she has learnt to fight back! Whether its putting Sasha in her place, a verbal dual with NT, sending Dev and NT to Jail or refusing to bow down to a dominating partner- she has learnt (part by design and part by accident) how to fight back.

 

This story should have been told from a woman's point of view methinks. However, the overarching plot has gone from being about Geet and her quest for justice to Geet and her love story with Maan. Maan has taken precedence over everything that was important in her life. She is willing to give up everything else for her one burning love- who am I to judge. But what I find hard to digest is- why she would not think of sending NT and Dev back to Jail, why she would not get lawyers of her own and only rely on Maan, why she would not take better care of her baby (She is eighteen and not retarded), why she would not try and reach out to her parents on her own (again Maan was instrumental here), why she would not show any inkling of furthering her education especially when she was so keen on studying earlier on in the show etc.

 

So as much as I may drool over Maan's eyes, I shall pass on naming my first born Geet for now.
