My face actually bore that expression for some significant parts of the episode, no kidding 🤣 What a find Usha 🤣🤣🤣
So anyway - pretty much word to your post Nur. I think if I had to put down the one factor that really bore me down today, it was the music. No kidding. Minority hai ye opinion sai mein?! So people were not feeling compelled to forward it through those one, two, three, four times of MM sequencing?!
Here's how I sum up the like/dislike of the ME:
- Too long. There was too much of a repetitive connotation about the whole "evoke feelings" in the viewer for both Amar, and MM. They could have definitely been more precise there, and I think it would have been better impact. That said, I personally LOVED Aakanksha in her FB scenes! She just looks so fresh and in love and yet NOT OTT for a wife and mother of two kids - you can see the home was sheer bliss, and the contrast between Megha then and now just STANDS OUT. Everyone was talking about the difference between Amar and Mohan - but I personally latched far more onto the difference in Megha. Not taking away anything from the guys.
- The bus sequence in the beginning was cute, fun, and clean! A well rounded up thing to the Friday fun! From Friday through today, the one thing I'm more or less quite liking is how they're showing the equation between Ved and Mohan. I dunno if anyone else will concur, but somehow the way Ved is with Mohan at this point reminds me GREATLY of the way Megha was with him before she finally placed her full and final trust. Like that time when she told him that she can see he's been their aid and more than once, but that even if she wants she cannot truly overlook of forgive him the pain he has caused. Papaji is somewhere in that realm, even if currently on the gruff-ier side. He's definitely not blind anymore to the Mohan who grows on anyone! But the prejudice against him runs so deep - it cannot be just dismissed and all the grudgingly cooperating moments come hence!
- Nanhi's call was so natural and well done. For a moment, this too transported me back to the time when Nanhi had gotten lost and we'd all been on the edge about how the saving would happen! She isn't even kidnapped yet, but somehow when she bawled out like a kid on the phone, fearing for her mother courtesy that "doubt" which has been seeded in her mind by Renu (grrr!) - I somehow remembered a time as a kid when I got lost (long story) and for a the one hour or so until I was found I couldn't but help think of how the cops for kids would take me to a place where they take kids with no parents, because I'd lost mine! Somehow, a child's mind can weave the most limitless of disasters and dreams - and Nanhi in this bit was that kid who has lost one parent, and suddenly, with Renu's ominous words, a dread takes over her - possibly she feels threatened by what that bad man has previously done to them, and can do now - and just like Megha from the false alarm scene where she panics to get to her kids, Nanhi here feels the threat on her only parent. Add to that the fact that the 3 people on this expedition are the 3 people who matter MOST in her life at this point. I think Ashnoor was fab in that scene - and cherry on the top was of course, Mohan coming to respite! I just loved how they wove in that bit - what better way to introduce Papaji to the wonderful bond that between MN! Again, his reception of the entire thing was quite reflective of Megha's initial half mind reactions to MN 😆 When she could see what was, and had come to accept it to some extent slowly, but it didn't really redeem Mohan anyway. Not then, not quite!
- Now comes the tricky part. I'm not sure whether I should feel some deep intrigue about the very odd range of clues thrown at us, and believe the writers have some good well knit mystery track here - or just put it down as they're still deciding what to do 😆 Bade ajib ajib clues the 😆 Even in my Sherlock viewing dedication I have seen more "connection" between clues 😆 Khair, benefit of doubt given for now. Let's see how they "work" out from here!
- The EPIC moment of the episode HAD to be A) Mohan throwing water at that co-pass (about time) 😆 B) Mohan talking about "biwi" Guru! Honestly, kahin bi shuru hojata hai bichare ki buraai karne - he's no less than a typical hubby 😆 C) Megha's VERY MUCH pun intended comment - bachon ke saath safar kitna asaan hojata hai 😆 I loved the double meaning here, her obvious jest at Mohan babu, and the way Mohan is being "almost" son like to Ved... not typically and definitely not accepted so - but from Megha was viewing their bond, I could totally feel the kind of peace she felt at their odd ball equation 😆
- The most stand out touching moment HAD to be (like you said Nur) the college pointing out, and Mohan comparing his own adolescence and bond with Mr. Bhatnagar vs Amar's. It was funny how even in a Amar dominant episode, where my feelings should have been quite singularly devoted to Megha and FIL - Mohan's cynical expressions now and then just tugged! Like here. And then again, at him confessing Amar could not be replaced. I love how Kunal/Mohan brought that strain out - without any tang of jealousy, but at this kind of cynical marvel about the other guy's all rounded luck! Then of course you think of how short lived and gory-ended Amar's life has been - and you see some divine play in balancing "blessings". It evens out... in the big picture.
- Also liked Mohan "plate and spoon bajaying" to call attention - it was just, cute! 😆 And somehow the way it flowed from how Mohan had espied upon Megha and FIL in their moments and then breaks the wave of melancholy for them without actually "interfering", I liked!
- To rant once more - I'm going to take forever getting used to this new music. Either they timed it bad on a day where it made a longer ME episode seem endless, not in a good way! Or they just over used it! It kinda just jarred the impact of certain scenes for me! Like it was in the way of the flow - even thought independent lyrics here and there were good. Just the BG score of the whole episode, felt kinky to me. Like abrupt start and end to moments with music!
- I'm liking how Megha is quite in her skin showing gratitude and comfort around Mohan, even in FIL's presence! I would have been disappointed if she'd shown awkwardness on FIL's account - because that would just not go with the fact that she was TRULY at this point not "guilty" of sharing Mohan's feelings! Also, Mohan heaving that sigh of relief at FIL's departure 😆 Bichare ke multiple ended lafde getting good and lucky boy Amar his due justice!
- Fave Megha reminiscing Amar moment had to be the after shave - I just LOVE how she touched up her wrist with it, and then by the time the FB was over her she just felt the memory! =) Senses can so play up like credibly - because she truly did "use" it in that moment! Also liked MM reaction to the sight of that slip in the end which read My darling wife... 😊
- Mohan telling FIL that since the "right means" have led them wrong place, they may as well try the "wrong means" this time. I REALLY like how in THAT one statement, Mohan and Amar are distinguished. As two people with similarly well meant intentions, to similarly far reaching extents - but difference of "grooming and growing up" playing a role in the way they "implement" their principles! Mohan the cynic. Amar the angel.
---
Overall, kinda slow for an ME... There was so much news about "mysteries and unraveling" for today, the "action" itself fell somewhat short for me. But yes, like everyone said, it had its moments... Eager to watch the kidnapping and consequences play out - but REALLY hoping the execution itself of this stage in the track doesn't drag!
