The above analysis are very well written. I am sure most of the viewers felt the same. Yesterday's episode was very entertaining.
Yesterday, I liked Navya's hairstyle, makeup and the way she was dressed- looked very innocent and naive. Anant too looked great! Both of their acting were very natural and superb.
I promised myself that i wont be posting in any discussion thread but as you mentioned the forum thingh,I thought to reply-Originally posted by: nureat01
6) Anant ka gussa😆...Honestly speaking I was wondering what the hoopla was about in the forum since morning but to me personally, this Anant is seeming far more normal and understandable than the more hyper version of him a few days back😆...that entire last portion was so naturally written with such a natural graph to it...Anant first all happy to see her...having the same discussion with her that he's never tried this before either but really wants to atleast try this time...for that one long shot they have at a yes...I think he made all valid and sensible points...but Navya toh has spooked herself now with her "Anant ki Navya" realization😆...so her protests in that bit did not seem convincing even to me...Anant toh obviously would take them harshly...the first outburst with the "khudgarz" bit was a bit OTT but I liked how he apologized after that😆...and after this the entire sequence, I really liked Shaheer's acting...the palpable anger on Anant's face even as he cuts off from Navya and goes and sits alag se in the class...refusing to look at her or talk to her😆...and the last bit with Navya so sweetly telling him to sign the form and go😆..."MAIN zidd kar raha hoon?"...I loved his righteous little fit there😆
He's sooo upset with her...for now he doesn't realize why it hurts just SO much that she isn't even WANTING to go as she's made it but obvious...he's cloaking it with the "sab friends jaa rahe hain, why don't you want to care about your friends?" thing but everyone knows it's a "FRIEND" and not friends that's the issue here😆...What I find interesting about all these scenes is the nuances they added...The entire epi was well written and well enacted...wasn't bored for a moment and less of Anant's whacko family...Hallelujah! LOL why can't they show just show his brother all the time?...I for one would so prefer it😆
True that! it was an overall good episode. One contributing factor could be the utter lack of the creepy sis duo😆...Definitely that was a major contributing factor😆...but overall also the pace was better and the scenes were written out better too.
when i saw that first scene begin, i was kinda hoping that they don't turn it in to some cliched sequence. And they didn't! I liked the growing comfort between the two...especially from Navya's end. And ummm awkwardness would still be present because it would be weird if they showed Navya not being a bit awkward.😆 LOL I also wondered for a bit if it would be a typical cliched sequence...but again they added little touches that made it sweet...like the bit with Navya looking down at the empty seat next to her and then looking away awkwardly😆...and I really liked the instrumental version of THE song playing in the bg...lol...no honestly that's a very nice tune :-)
I liked that moment between the gang too. It felt realistic and relatable somehow. When one or 2 people in a group of friends back out on trip or movie, the whole plan falls apart ..😆 been there, done that.😆 Oh definitely...I could totally understand Ritz's frustration😆
Recently most of AN conversations sound so bf-gf like but they still aren't aware of that. I like that bit. they aren't rushing with the "love" bit and hopefully they will avoid rushing and making it stereotypical. Yeah they aren't rushing the "love" bit as of now...yes AN are both changing but they aren't defining it or constraining it easily with standard definitions...they are both still EXPERIENCING whatever their feelings are more than going the cliched route of defining them and obsessing over them in an OTT manner...it all comes down to good writing and acting
Anant's tantrum! 🤣🤣🤣 it was seeing a kid throw tantrum when the mum/dad denies buying him a video game or something.🤣🤣🤣 I found "selfish" part a bit OTT but after he apologized about it, it seemed okay. Still, it was weird to see him jatao haq that way on her mainly because we haven't seen him introspect about his behavior uptill now. But anyhow, Shaheer as always did a good job portraying this hormone-crazed teenager side of Anant. most importantly, he wasn't irksome and that's why it seemed better. lol may be they might show him reminisce about these moments in the future after he "realizes."😆 LOL you know Amy...honestly I'm oddly starting to get used to his haq jataaoing now too...it amuses me😆...mainly cuz he still doesn't fully know or acknowledge WHY he is jataaoing haq like that😆...and on some level, Navya responds to it subconsciously as well and doesn't balk...well barring the incident with him landing in front of the building where she was justifiably upset...lol...btw speaking of that...did you notice how he mentioned that in the morning she was busy with her mom?? So matlab this proves that the only reason he was facepalming in that scene was cuz he didn't get to give a ride to Navya...not cuz he realized that it was an idiotic thing he did *shakes head* hopeless cause😆...but overall yeah I agree...it doesn't feel irksome also...so that's good I guess.
Really love reading ur analysis of every episode.Thanks so much :-)
I loved the episode too. Interestingly, without realising it, Anant is treating Navya as his - this came out very strongly in the phone convo - but it is Navya who senses that things are changing and the unbidden thought of Anant ki Navya has shocked/scared her.Totally agree...Anant is indeed treating her as his...as if it's been this way since ages😆...and he's so matter of fact about it too that it's extremely amusing to me...that entire convo made me grin😆...but yes Navya has deffo spooked herself now cuz she's the only one of the two actually even trying to process what's happening to her😆Thank goodness it was his brother and not the evil sisters yest. Like this bro, more screen space for him please.I thought Anant's tantrum in the end was a bit childish, but even he realised that he can hardly call Navya selfish 😆. When he finally processes what is happening, he will realise why he was so angry at her refusal. Yes it was childish no doubt...but based on what we've seen of Anant in the past few epis as he's been changing it didn't seem surprising anymore...he's over-reacting and he doesn't fully know why...but like you said when he processes all this finally, then he will understand why he's feeling so upset with her
The above analysis are very well written. I am sure most of the viewers felt the same. Yesterday's episode was very entertaining.
Yesterday, I liked Navya's hairstyle, makeup and the way she was dressed- looked very innocent and naive. Anant too looked great! Both of their acting were very natural and superb.When I heard Annant telling her "selfish" - for a moment I thought this is it- the father of all dangers begin. But his mistake was excellently portrayed by Shaheer - the next minute when he said sorry.So far the CV, director and the actors are doing a great job. I do worry about the poor parents (specially Navvya's parents, who have trusted her so... much... - will be shocked and disappointed when they come to know that her daughter has lied to them... - a common problem in the present society). I hope the CV is able to deal with this problem in a realistic/ responsible manner, and send a constructive well thought message to the society.
So here's my side.I did say Navya would be the one to fiddle and toss around the doings of her heart, given her innate/annoying/inescapable nature of being the unstoppable 'thinker' 😆 Not that I should complain, cause from the look of it, she's doing it on behalf of Anant and herself, both, at the moment! I was happy to see that bit about her self realizations - and happier still that it came without too much ado and delay, I'm happy about that too😆...that it was without much ado and shown quite naturally...and yes she's thinking on behalf of her and Anant...which is good cuz he doesn't seem like he's going to start thinking anytime soon...he only believes in action it seems😆
because this seemed like the time it should happen at least for her. Like I said before, she's not weaving her happy fantasies minus of the inherent phobias - unlike Anant. She manages to be carefree for moments, but her worries/logic/conscience doesn't really take a break... Very true.What I did not think much of, was Renuka's tirade. Really. It was the one part of the episode rather loosely drafted. I wish she'd had lesser lines, but more convincing premises, than just I thought it was normal attraction but now you want to go to a PICNIC and you know what PICNICS are like these days... utterly OTT. I wish she'd just stuck to that last bit... about how whether or not Navya acknowledged the fact, she was changing - cause that was bang on! The hell raise on how absolutely unbelievably criminal the idea of a picnic was... just sort of didn't go well.Contrary to Renuka was Anant's brother - and he is one reason I found Renuka's tirade off the mark partially - he was not in denial of the improbability of permission. And even when he did ask Anant to give it a shot, it was more so to cheer up his brother who looked so crestfallen for a second just then. But thing is, he didn't exactly go on a rant of OMG PICNIC! what the hell is wrong with you and your generation to even dream of going for a picnic! So the thing was, he wasn't defying the person he's raised to be - the principled and overly contained guy - but at the same time, he wasn't talking like he was three generations older and apart from Anant. He is a fellow who's resigned to his lifestyle, but it's not as if he can't see and perceive basics. Even when he decides to make a point, or raise caution, he has the sense to realize it would be little use to outrightly oppose his brother and point out the folly. The irony is, if someone needs blatant pointing out, it's Anant. Navya is guilty enough by herself, without anyone needed to spell the words for her - you could just insinuate, and she'd be wrestling her pillows all night trying to get over the guilt, or correct her wrong!So...Renuka was OTT. She wans't just making a point on behalf of her elders, she was actually showing conviction about how ridiculous picnics are - which in a way for me went contrary to her character sketch from the last couple episodes. So this is someone who can sneak out her sister in the middle of a very important family dinner, lie for her to everyone, and don't forget this is night time and girl alone scenario we're talking of - but thinks going for a supervised college day picnic is just... so wrong! She's being a conflicting prude here. I'd have thought her to be the kind of muffled rebel who was contained too much by the doings of her life, and at least empathizes with, if not supports, her sister's contentions. She just took a 180 in this last episode. For me. Maybe I'm just being overtly critical, and mind you, I'm still very much in favor of how she pointed out that last bit on Navya changing... or even the subtle point of how Ritz and her fam were different - yes, those were good points, I wished that had been all.
I can see your point, JZ...Renu did come across a little extra judgemental and condescending in some bits of that convo...but I didn't find it to be any different from what I've now come to expect from Renu...she helped Navya that day, yes...but we ourselves weren't properly shown WHAT excuse Navya gave that day...that she was just going out with friends so maybe Renu was ok with that much...wanting her to live her life a bit...but now Renu is back to being the oldest daughter of a conservative family...who is sensing that something has changed with her sister and doesn't quite know what to make of it...she hasn't met Anant...she's never seen Navya ever talking to another guy this much...to her those are the only facts she has so she's suspicious...she isn't taking this to be anything more than a slight crush...which is why she said that line about maine socha ki is age mein girls and guys do like each other but it's a passing fancy...regarding the picnic bit...the reason she's going OTT about it it is cuz she can see that Navya is just making excuses and the only reason she really wants to go is cuz of Anant...again it comes back to the thing that Renu doesn't KNOW Anant...she's never met him, hardly spoken to him...to her toh he's just some random guy that her baby sister has SUDDENLY started being more taken in with than she'd have expected...Renu herself is a girl who seems to have had an arranged marriage at an early age too so again she probably was never into all this and is judgemental about it even more then.
Regarding the case of Anant's brother Mohan...it's also different cuz he's a different personality to begin with...Renu's all fiery, bossy older sister while Mohan is such a mellow guy😆...yes he showed more maturity there but then we also have to see that Anant is a guy...guys aren't questioned like girls are...just a fact of society basically...but yes no doubt the scene with Anant-Mohan was handled much more maturely...so subtly...with the way he saw the half written name on the form that Anant was trying to hide and just smiled to himself...and later on just saying to Anant, "waise toh tum samajhdaar ho"...lol...in that bit I wondered for a second if Anant realizes that his samajhdaaari is a bit shaky these days😛😆...anyways back to the scene...loved that last dialogue of the brother...hope to see more scenes b/w these two in the coming epis cuz he seems to be the only person in that house who might deal with the AN relationship in a mature manner...and be supportive and understanding too.Talking of Navya changing, did I say I really like the bit about her self realization where she goes Navya has changed... no, not changed yet, but changing... I like that part of her. Where she can still distinguish. She's not lying to herself, and she's not looking at matters through a red glass. She only gets occasionally swayed - occasions being Anant's company 😆 But in general, I'm glad her character is not being self contradicted.LOL yes...she changes and gets swayed in Anant's company but otherwise the basis of the character is kept intact...I'm also glad about that. ...they show her introspection very naturally too...nothing quite filmy also😆A quick note on Appy - so I figured she really is Beth. Her silly say about hoping her mother quick finds her a match the other day, and now her denial to go to this picnic... It struck me how she's got her big time insecurity on the guy account. So Ritz is hooked, and Navya isn't and might not be perceived as someone who could be, but it's obvious that she and Anant are a pair. Even if there was going to be no love story here at all, Appy would have good grounds to feel insecure. Her two best friends have suddenly found new people who can take good share of their time, without either of them conscientiously worrying abut Appy. For her it's just them. For them, its her and the others. I suppose she'd beginning to reel from that impact. She's with everyone, she's a friend to everyone, but she no longer has that one person - girl or boy - who could be exclusively worrying behind her back. And it's getting to her. Maybe she's not the steady kind, as opposed to both her girlfriends, but steady can definitely look tempting when you see others donning it! Again, she may have nothing on Anant - Navya love angle... just that those two have bonded so instantly, so easily, and crept into spaces of each others life is evident to her as a friend... its all adding to make her insecure. Say a simple instance of how Ritz told Anant to convicne Navya, and not Navya and Appy... the difference is obvious to her. She's not jealous. She's just... getting a bit lonely and redundant there... Very good points yaar...quite insightful...I liked that firstly Appy got decent footage yesterday...since they'd been shunting her to the side since a while...and yes something deffo is on her mind seeing how she got upset yesterday...and I think you're quite right about her psyche at this point and how she's feeling with her two best friends in a sense becoming so involved with the guys in their lives that it really doesn't leave her anywhere...there is deffo a little insecurity, loneliness there...which she verbalized as saying she'd feel left out at the picnic with RR all into each other...I can so identify with her actually on this😆...and when she made the joke about who will she spend time with?? That HARRY?! haha...that was funny too😆
Ok I'm going to reply to the rest in a seperate post...this is getting quite long😆
