Hi Nivi... beautiful post... and those caps of smiling Sameer and Naina! They will become precious commotions soon. The episode was pretty overwhelming.
Glad to have our original chacha - chachi back. It was endearing to see the entire family work together so Naina's small wish of wearing that pretty sari can come true. They all need a 🤗 It was also so endearing to see Naina take time to dress up... only for Sameer. He has made her feel truly beautiful. Naina emerged from a girl who at the start of the show hid behind her plain Jane appearance because she was made to feel like that to someone who feels beautiful and wants to dress up. She is now confident about her looks, such a positive influence Sameer has been on her. She remembered both occasions when Sameer asked her to leave her hair open... love that because now she knows Sameer was not lying in Mt. Abu.
I remember her original choice of blouse she was holding at the tailor's was the same as what she was wearing, so miraculously it matched with this sari. 😃 And then they played the extended title song with both getting ready in tandem... just loved that entire sequence. The smiles, the shy gazes at the mirror, the anticipation... how beautiful. They were going to the farewell but to them it was like their first date. 😳
And then came Nanu... how nice to see him equally excited for Sameer's sake. 😃🤗 He was eager to see Naina in that sari as well... That whole scene... heart wrenching, poignant, heart warming,... all at the same time. How did the team manage that? Sameer... once again words fall short to describe this imperfectly perfect gentleman... such a gem of a guy... he has so much love to give and he's compassionate... very sensitive and emotional in nature... in short he's junior Nanu...so ofcourse he cannot just walk away. I'm so glad he came back to take blessings and he made sure he gave Nanu those final moments of pure joy... how cute it was to see them both discussing about naina in Nani's sari 😳... how cruel life can be that both will not see her in it 😭 Atleast not today! Sameer saying that Nanu was irreplacable and he would not be the same Sameer without him... dangerous foreboding there. And cute discussion about becoming Parnanu - please CVs make this happen Want to see Nanu witness Sameer enjoy all the joys of life that he so truly deserves.
What I also liked is the way Randeep was running today when he first left and when he found Nanu... truly looked like a man in hurry.
Both of them looked splendid... truly made for each other. 👏
Again thankful for small mercies... he forgot the camera, so goes back... and Naina was getting more restless by the minute. By the time she called, she knew something was wrong... what will she do tomorrow? She's not going to rest until she finds out... lets see...
Mundit were funny... they called Naina Bhabhi today... its clear they will be doing everything they can to help her... we are going to see the Bhabhi-devar relation develop in the absence of bhai... and Swamun seem to be going somewhere... Swati was cute when she asked if Munna needs to propose to Sameer or her. 😆 Atleast she's is slowly giving him some signals. 😃
As for the editing there... believe it or not I have seen this before where one wants to show 2 or 3 locations where things are happening in parallel...I saw something similar long back in in the Lord of the Rings last part where the war with Mordor happens and they were trying to show three locations in succession culminating at one point. If you see that scene its the same effect... the action is slo-mo, the voice is muted though you can see what the character is saying and the BG is dramatic...sorry for the spiel of my limited film knowledge 😆
In our case it was Naina, Nanu and Sameer... Naina was desperate to get a word about Sameer... Sameer was desperate to reach as he was late and Nanu was desperate to reach the phone, to call for help, to hold on to his life...all three were happening in parallel time but common to all is a sense of urgency... that was what the quick succession of scenes was trying to convey, but the beauty is contrary to that urgency the action was all slo-mo as if one was trying to hold on to every precious second of happiness there is...adding that beautiful effect for a viewer...
We want them to speed up but everything just slowed down... the universe slowed down then...with the eerie background of an heart machine... all the way till Nanu finally collapses... it was difficult to see that. And they all beautifully culminated at one point... Sameer reached Nanu and started taking him to the hospital when Naina's phone rang...
I think all the farewell dialogs were added at normal speed later... that was odd though...
Anyway... hoping for the best tomorrow, though prepared for the worst...
Finally... this whole setup is starting to seem like the movie 'Masoom'... of course Sameer is much older than that boy and in this case he is the biological son of his mother pitted against her step family... just a thought maybe we will see the 'Do naina.. ek kahani' song on him now.
