What a lovely episode!!! Its like we have been transported back to 2014-15 where the story was all about IshRa, with minimal screen space to the sideys who are there only to support the leads, not to hog all the limelight.
It was so heartening to see Ishita be so proactive and take all the efforts to cheer up Raman. Alas, he couldn't even bring himself to smile a little even after seeing all the efforts, so consumed was he in his misery.
All of us guessed that Raman will save Ishita this time, which will boost his morale. That did not happen. However, what happened was even better. Raman finally voiced out his feeling of dejection and failure to Ishita, who finally couldn't take it any more and lashed out at him. The song, date, set up, costumes everything was so beautiful but the last scene was the show stealer. Raman ultimately had to give in and surrender himself in front of the selfless love of his better half. He had to once again break the imaginary walls he had built around his heart. He realized that by keeping aloof and asking her to go away, he was hurting her more than he was hurting himself. The last shot was so poignant and serene.
Now coming to the performances...DT was excellent in every scene,be it her cute antics to cheer up Raman or the last scene where she voiced out the things that we have been waiting to hear for so long!! KP was top notch too, especially in the way he showed his anger, frustration but not in a rude or harsh manner, but in a way that reflected his love and care more than anything else.
The track has finally picked up pace and hopefully Raman will be a little out of his self pity mode from here on.
