I am yet to read all the posts today, in the main forum and ED, but someone please tell me that I'm not the only one who doesn't see how Nakku is getting more focus than Dutta? 😕 As I watched the episode, their expressions and reactions had me so zoned in and hanging on to every word and movement that I didn't even notice any people that were supposedly walking around the jungle...it felt like Dutta and Nakku to me...not more of one or the other...MR got so many dialogues, so many prolonged moments to play out those emotions that Dutta was undergoing...what moments exactly are these that gave more focus to Nakku? 😕

No one person is getting MORE focus, I was just staring at them throughout. It was Dutta talking and Naku reacting and listening. The problem is perhaps the angle switch to take in both of their reactions at the same time. But other than that, it was fine. I don't notice people or dogs, or goats or anything. So yeah your right.

Even without watching the epi, I will WHOLEHEARTEDLY concur with you on this! I didn't even see how there was supposedly "less focus" on Dutta yesterday😕😕  Where are all these theories coming from??😕😕

Completely agree, just watched the episode and all I saw was Dutta and Naku. There was no extra focus or anything like that...maybe im just lost in lala land :)

Thoughts on the episode :)
Naku - her character is known to give bhashans, her long lecture to Dutta on love, was a good example of that. She has always been that God fearing typical woman - but also one of strength. Her Aai Bolti Hai line that women are capable of more tolerance than man, is also so in character and frankly what is wrong with that statement? Its true - any woman who has gone through labor and delivery can attest to that fact, that men however strong they are, are incapable of bearing that pain, and hence the statement.
As for Dutta's dialogues, my interpretation is how much of Naku's influence he has in him now, that he has become a believer in these facts about marriage, how two souls can complete each other and become a better half.
Ultimately as a viewer, I look at the "Rasa" or the emotion the characters bring out in me, and I felt Love today, that is a successful team effort in my mind.

After seeing the episodes this week, we all know that MR is brilliant but I really think MV has surprised me this week. I always applaud MR but want to say that MV has been equally responsible for bringing out Dutta on screen. Her expressions, her dialogues and her general commitment has been really well done. I think it's the best I have seen of her. The tiny tiny little things she says or gestures brings Naku to life.

What a......satisfying episode....there were no grand dramatic gestures or sweeeeeeeeeping romantic DN scenes......but watching it warmed my heart like anything.

I pretty much ditto everything you said, Fatty.....my exact thoughts about all these moments.

The bits I really really loved.....first,  the beginning of jaana jogi de naal and the way he just reaches out to hold her face with one hand😍.....the soft affection in that gesture *sigh*.....then the water drinking scene.....ADORABLEEE.....especially loved the bit where he's holding up his hand for her to drink from and she keeps trying to push it back at him so that he drinks from it first but he doesn't budge and just sits there firmly with that smile on his face.....😆....and she has to finally give in and drink first😆....as usual a silent battle of wits b/w them but done SO sweetly this time😆....this scene was soooooooooooo fabulously shot....really don't have words for it.....SO natural....especially the bit with the way Nakku reaches up to brush his face after he drinks from her hand.....MR just looked WOW in this scene😍.....and Nakku's expressions as she wipes his face.....it's a thing of beauty seriously the level of soul there is to their scenes....no stupid hawtness, ZOMG we're TOUCHING each other kinda crap.....there is such a BEAUTIFUL kind of comfort b/w them....there is awareness at the same time.....but not the kind that is thrown in your face.....it is subtle.....it is there in the subtlest of gestures and the way they look at each other.

After this, I LOVED the way he hugged her during the night scene....the way he just reaches out for her impulsively after that convo and hugs her close.....

I have to agree with Neets about the dialogues in that last bit to an extent.....felt that they could have been written better.....deffo bordering more on the trite side with the ardhangini stuff but then on a level I guess it does jive with the upbringing of these characters....we can't forget that they all belong to a small town/village.

Otherwise overall.....amaaaaaaaaaaaazing convos.....the first one with Dutta talking about he felt that he was only living for this moment....."tere aane se andhere raaston mein bhi ujala ho jaayega, Nakku....yeh mera tujhpe yakeen hai"

Then the later ones near the lake with him telling her he loves her....the transition to him remembering Kala's words.....then the convo later at night when Nakku tells him all that Kala has done.....then him telling Nakku that he will give her all her due.....so many variations and all enacted sooooooo brilliantly....especially by MR....the transitions that Fatty pointed out......I'm in awe as always😍

The car ride was SO frigging hilarious to me.....I was laughing my head off....the way that weird bodyguard was staring at Seema.....Suds with his ashamed/sulky constipated expressions sneaking glances here and there......Seema crying endlessly and having endless FBs....and ofcourse BEST of all....Kala's CONSTANT staring at her🤣......AG's expressions were sooooooooo awesome in that scene....haha......speculative/shrewd.....she's deffo planning some big use with Seema.....weighing the possibilities.

And yes the precap was really awesome! VR was FAB.....the shots of Dutta were randomly inserted it seems but otherwise really amazing precap....looking forward to next week....we'll get the DN bonfire scene too.....awww

Only one thing I want to add that from past few episodes I am noticing too many continuity problems in LTL. One moment Naku and Dutta are looking like giant and dwarf...next moment they are at eye level. Then one moment Dutta is facing one direction...next moment another...next moment back to the old direction. I am not sure what's the problem but maybe the new director who has come in isnt that good. These continuity problems are distracting.
