I finally binge watched all the episodes from last week. Let me first rant and talk about the issues which perturbed me.
- Random song dance sequences: Not sure about others but the Badtameez Dil sequence was random and totally misplaced. This show has this tendency to break into random song dance sequences which trivialize the importance of the situation. Maybe the director has a song dance fetish. Please control and use it judiciously writers 😆
- Haphazard editing: The makers should work more towards maintaining continuity in the show and the progression from one scene to another. In some episodes, its a lot more apparent than the rest.
- Am ignoring the IT Raid sequence because it was random and devoid of logic 🤪
Now that am done ranting, let me praise the scenes I liked. I personally loved almost every single conversation between Abhir-Mishti. The biggest strength of this show has always been the fact that the leads actually talk with each other. I feel like the writers haven't used this to their full potential yet due to their penchant for drama and random song dance routine. My most favorite moment of last week was when Abhir realized that Mishti did not leave him alone and was trying to locate him (with a rented scooty which she can't drive :D). That instant happiness on his face and the scene that followed was really well done with the right mix of humor and subtle romance. I really liked that tiny bit where he helps her wear the helmet and taps on it to make sure she is comfortable. Looked super cute 😆 And then his joke about feeling unsafe with Mishti and Mishti's reaction. I really liked how Abhir just hoped for her smile to be preserved. Nothing more, nothing less.
The next favorite moment of course came from yesterday's episode. I liked how Abhir explained why he did what he did and also the fact that he realized his mistake much later. I have been waiting for a heartfelt emotional conversation between Abhir-Mishti wherein they discuss the cross-connection and the disastrous outcome. This conversation was too small but am glad we atleast got one. I liked how Abhir instantly recognized that something was bothering Mishti and the fact that he reierated how both Mishti and Kunal are equally important to him (hope the writers remember this and don't pull some ridiculous sacrifice drama in the future just because Kunal does not approve of Mishti). That apart. Abhir's infectious energy upon discovering that Kunal-Kuhu is a possibility and he can finally romance Mishti in peace was adorable 😆Am not too convinced about Mishti jumping the bandwagon though. I hope they show her thinking about the cross-connection fiasco at least once and worrying about whether Kunal is even ready for a marriage instead of randomly jumping into match making.
P.S. I hope the writers take cue and cut down on the song dance sequences. Get the characters to talk, form an emotional connect (which is Abhir and Mishti's biggest strength) and please cut out on Meenu and badi maa nonsense. Thank you 😆
