Mar 12th: Sameer's best friend - His NANU - Page 6

Nivi.. your thread is a safe haven for me.. 😊 Your ability to relay the episode with your insights inspires us all to share ours... fab post as usual!!

Some ramblings here..

Personally I have mixed feelings about the way they have handled the two tracks..I don't have issues with the distinct moods of the two tracks becos it was both a necessity as per the logical flow of the narrative and imperative from the aesthetic flow of the narrative to showcase the differing emotions..

Logically becos Naina and Sameer are in different places so it had to be shown and as for the differing emotions it is a reminder that no matter how connected you are, life is lived in the moment. Technology can aid the process of connectivity but cannot change the course of happenstance or destiny. Naina being with Sam could have soothed him but cannot reverse the path of destiny..

Coming to my nitpicking is the lazy writing for the village scenes...the CVs set up a track for Kuldevi pooja and I dont recall any mention thereafter of it...the scenes while written with a touch of humour which is ok but it seemed too much of an effort for a commentary on village life...Somehow it did not glide well and every scene looked like a filler..as I said for me it's a nitpicking issue but i am saying this since there was such great thought to the authenticity of the Nanu funeral track... the other scenes jarred not in its intention but in its execution.wish they had shown a sequence with some greater depth even while they incorporated the humour..

I am so glad the CVs kept the Nanu scenes so relatable... Sameer was flitting in and out of his acceptance of the death...so natural for one very affected deeply by a death.. Randeep aced the portrayal... loved the nuances..

On Somani... the jury is still out for me. I wont say that he will not manipulate the situation to his advantage..He will most likely assume Sam to be irresponsible and so would try to dissuade any attempts for the business to be handed over to Sam but not necessarily as a plotting thing... can't say for sure until the dynamics with Dadi is known.

Hard pressed for time so not able to comment more on the other fab posts in the thread!!!

Hi Nivi,

Wonderful post dear...u captured the emotions so well!!

The VO today Wer the brilliant thing which cvs came up with!!
Infact in sameer VO. I really liked the part how hi said WOH yaha hoti to...n not k naina yaha hoti to...that really gave a different feel...plus naina VO was like one most needed that time!!

They Wer nt together bt the VO gave the audience's the feel of them being together.. .this feel only our CVS cud hv brought...direct audiences k dil me jagah bana li cvs ne!!

Abt mundit I really appreciate the cvs here...it was very symbolic to show them consoling sameer...vishaka is his mom...bt there has never been any connection between the son-mom duo...bt mundit n sam are connected...they understand him...may b nt like naina bt obviously more than vishaka!! I guess if vishaka whd hv consoled sameer audiences whd hv loved it...bt mundit consoling directly reached the heart of audiences!!

precap I guess it is Somani concern genuinely!! letz wait n watch!!

Bt the best part for me today was the ending of episodes with yaarana song. .Nanu definitely was his best friend...jisne saachme sameer ko falak pe betha Diya khak se utha k!!!

Things one learns from this show!!

@ blue - beautiful.

Not having Vishaka and Somani in the same frame as Sameer was a bit bizarre and what was worse was we could clearly see the body doubles.

Today is the last day we see Kiran ji in the show 😭

This was such a saddening episode yaar

Wonderful post Nivi.

Unfortunately I am yet to watch last 4-5 episodes!!!

But I have enjoyed reading your take on it, and also everyone else's...

Hopefully I get to watch the episodes this week and catch up.

Somani - Good or Bad? is the question of the week isn't it?

I think he is just a grey shade character. He is not so good towards only Sameer, may be because of some misunderstanding or Sameer's previous behaviors, or just because he is a step-son. Lets see...

Love

Well written post Nivi with all the dialogues.

Good post Nivi!

Sameer's situation was not one to describe.

Yet you updated and could make the post. Hats off to you.

I could not dare to write anything on that. I could not dare even to watch again. Only Nanu's blessings can help the boy now.

The way Sameer hugged Nanu's body... it was heart tugging. The desperate attempt of an young lad to hold on to the most beloved person in his life.. his friend, guru, mom, brother! Brilliant acting by Randeep.

Yes, Vishakha not coming to Sameer and consoling was jarring. Esp after the recent promise she made to Nanu. Were they not shooting at the same time? Was Randeep shooting this after he came back from holiday? Munna Pandit were very good in their support roles. The VO as usual fantastic, although I doubt at that time Sameer was thinking about Naina. This must be much later.

I think Somani decided to take Sameer along to Delhi because of his distraught condition. One can't leave behind a person in such condition and a change of place does help. I don't think there is any ulterior motive of Somani.

PS. Wonderful post Nivi. Got so swayed by the episode
