Hi Nivi... awesome write up. 😃
Sorry I got distracted after hearing the Ram Teri Ganga Maili song... so had to check out the few best songs from that movie... 😆
I liked this episode because finally, finally we are getting into the dynamics of Sameer's dysfunctional family... finally the CVs have dived right in, so far everything was on the periphery. To me this love story is incomplete without this aspect... too bad Nanu had to go for this side to come to the forefront...
As expected Somani house is a bigger and tougher mountain to climb. But I'm glad Sameer heard that conversation, as bitter as it was. What Vishaka and the Somanis don't realize is that Sameer is very intelligent and an extremely good judge of people... and during his stay at the Agarwals he has honed this skill. Today's conversation revealed to him that his mother didn't want him to leave. She was doing her best to stop the boarding school conversation and she even assured them that Sameer would adjust. A few more conversations and I'm sure Sameer will become more caring of his mother and make sure she won't face trouble because of him.
Another thing that came up which Sameer heard was the 'bigada' word from daadi and Somani seconding that, and a disparaging comment about Nanu's upbringing... .. a few more of that and he is so going to prove them all wrong! Because Nanu's izzat is his utmost priority... He will also understand what they are upto, which is make him commit a mistake so they can send him away...
We could see that effect immediately. He got irritated with Vishaka's 'Rohan and his schedule jaap' but he understood where she was coming from, thanks to the conversation below, where a whole storm was raised because Rohan missed one class... he knew that was why his mother was insisting about that... he understood that one more faux pas, one more missed class and it would become very difficult for his mother to defend him.
At the same time he was irritated at the callousness of the Somanis since they expected him to be the only one to adjust, while they wanted to carry on their life as usual... his taunt was well placed, and notice he didn't even have to raise his voice... now remember the old Sameer who used to shout at his mother when he faced such situations...
He also gathered that the kids in this house have not heard of him... and I think that hurt him the most today... he was an outsider in that house, this he could accept... but his own mother was so distant to him... all that love she showers on the other two in front of him literally twisted in him like a knife... that was all he had ever wanted from her, and she never gave him that... Rohan seemed sorted... seems like he had a genial welcome for Sameer but the little girl is a prankster... she will come to love her Sameer bhaiya soon... for now looks like daadi coached her before sending her in... so after that handshake Sameer was diffident in extending his hand again to Rohan... I think Rohan will definitely become Vishaka's conscience, while Sameer in his own way is going to point out a few home truths as well...
Once again Viskaha displayed her insensitivity towards him, by telling him he could live in that room but not to disturb Rohan in any manner! 😲 She could not even give him a cupboard to keep his things! 😡 No wonder he was so disturbed that he ran to get some air!
Naina...everything about that scene was completely expected. But she was so desperate that she found her way to Sameer's room... felt bad when things kept getting bad for her... she was so broken... shock, sad, shattered and guilty... yes so guilty that all the time she was angry and cursing him he was facing his worst nightmare without her... their last meeting just took on a whole new meeting. All she has now are beautiful memories and a few gifts from him which are now going to sustain her till she talks to him. Poor girl's crying is unstoppable. She knows her needs her more than anyone else... she is so desperate to talk to him, support him, let him pour out all his anguish to her...Instinct told her Sameer will call and she even bunks school! 😲 Topper Naina is seriously screwed!
As controversial as that takraar was, it was a surefire way to bring Naina back into Samer's line of sight...😃 And we got to know that their first ever meet had as much impact on him as well... that sudden realization that he had been so lost, he had moved to Delhi without informing her suddenly made him tear up with guilt... and so he runs like a madman to call her!
One again, have to applaud the VOs... what depth! And 'Meri Naina' was music to my ears... hey, does anyone remember when Naina called him mere Sameer for the first time? And the friends... very cute it was fighting for the bed! 😆 On one side his family is having trouble accepting him, his siblings don;t know him... and on the other had Ramdhari tells Naina he has no family here, exactly when he's thinking about his two soul brothers... Oh, the irony!
I'm liking this track because of the yearning, the pathos it brings... its very difficult to portray a comic tragedy on screen... and things about today we saw the first of that in this show... where Sameer was dejected recollecting the Mundit scene but that scene itself was beautiful, full of fun!
Ashi and Randeep again aced those emotions... these two are getting so good that they engage you in their emotions so well 👏
