I just finished watching today's episode ( and apparently Hotstar edited another song sequence out? Urgh. Someone please upload the song sequence? )
I wanted to make my comments on the episode while it's still fresh in my mind.
Good things of today's episodes:
- Highlight of the episode for me was Avni letting it slip how she feels about Neil- "Sayesha will find herself a loving Neil, like I found one." It was something she said while she was passionately arguing and the truth just fell out of her mouth. Of course, the camera pans towards Neil's face and Zain Imam just nails the expression. He's utter perfection as Neil Khanna.
- Neil and Avni's screen space was bigger today: we got to see Neil interacting with KK and the Khanna family. And same for Avni as well.
- I liked the one side conversation between Neil and Avni. Avni stopping Neil and the camera focusing on Neil's clenched fist, with the MS was poignant. His anger and his love reflected perfectly in that shot. The cinematography there was on point. 👏
- Avni stating point blank that she will NOT adopt Sayesha was the voice of the fandom today. Words that we, as fans of AvNeil and dislikers ( I won't say haters. Lol) of Sayesha, wanted and needed to hear.
Things that I didn't like much:
- Avni repeated twice that she loved Sayesha more than her own child. I'm sorry the dialogues were completely wrong there. I cringed both times. Avni, you cannot be making this comparison considering that you don't have a child. Yes, I understand the emotion behind the dialogues- she loves Sayesha like she was her own child. There's a big difference there.
- Sayesha/Payal: I hated every single minute of her screen space. I've been repeatedly saying this but this girl needs to go to acting school. Her expressions were painful to watch. Her dialogues were terrible. " True love"- Girl, you would not know true love if it bit you in the face. The way she was arguing with Avni. I really hated that Neil stopped Avni from slapping her, because let's face it, Sayesha deserves a slap and the fandom would have been over the moon.
- To be fair, I understand why she's being give the screen space. She's being portrayed as an emotional brat who doesn't understand love, and she will be in for a rude awakening soon when she realizes that KK is no Neil Khanna ( of course, I have to use him as a comparison here. Neil Khanna is perfect). KK is a spineless man who will never support Sayesha. And yes, he will be the Ashish Mehta of this generation
Final point before I end this:
- Neil's chuppee is very interesting to me. Neil hasn't said much in today's episode ( Whatever he did say thought was very impactful. Quality over quantity!). I'm not sure why but I have a feeling that Neil bringing the adoption matter to the attention of Avni and the rest of the Khannas was purposeful. That he was trying to rile Avni up and he definitely did. Once he mentioned the adoption thing, he went all quiet and Avni raged. I'm of the opinion that Neil has something else going in his mind ( my theory is that he wants to bring Avni back, and put Neilanjana in the past) and this will only be visible to us, viewers the more we watch.
So, let's keep watching NK. Let's show our support for the show, even if we can't stand Sayesha/Payal. Let's remember that Payal is a SUPPORTING actor and her teenage pregnancy track will be the driving force to bringing our Avni back ( even if I have my doubts about Payal's ability to do justice to this sensitive track).
