I'm late for this list now. And after the mega opening on Monday, this week is proving to be such a let down for me - I fear I might quit the show so soon, knowing my weak resilience.
Sigh. Anyway, for now.
Would have really, really bad wanted to watch Center Shock Baba give permission to Anant. That was a good scene paased. IMO, that is. Then again, Anant had spoken his share, and I doubt Baba would have done much talking in verbal sense - he does it all inside that bald head of his, so maybe, we'd just have been treated to more camera takes rounds of close ups of everyone's shock/disgust/elation at permission granted. So maybe, on second thought, no thank you.
I liked Navya's Dad-Daadi scene too. I suppose no one wouldn't, unless one is too prejudiced with impatience to only watch the lead couple. That was a credible scene, very well executed by the respective actors, and pleasantly surprising was the sound dialog writing - which keeps slipping more often than not for this show. So yeh, all in all, good stuff.
Navya-Anant's phone chat. The second part of Anant's particular range of emotions in going from hyperactive jubilant to solemnly accepting, almost, was darn neat. Like you mentioned, Soumya needs to do something about her eyes. And actually, while she is at it, also work up some variation in that perpetual caught in highway headlight doe expression she's begun to nearly abuse now! She needs to understand the distinction between submissive and introvert and positively terrified. I'll still let her have the credit for not being the waterworks actress though. So far.
I have no idea why people are hating on Renuka. Of course, I'm not saying I don't understand where the agitation comes from, but hate?! Get into her shoes. She's a conservative girl, from a conservative home (even if its not half as psychotic as Vajpayees) and has lived her life so far on a tight thin rope by the rules. While she has her lapse of being the play along elder sister, she can't help but be the over protective bossy sibling - A) its her nature B) she probably foresees much more danger into this than anyone else. she can relate to Navya's sense of needing freedom, and while a distant part of her would relent, a more vivid part of her finds it too dangerous to risk. I still think her reaction to the picnic news originally had been majorly OTT, like I said the other day, but in this episode, and today's (especially the confessing to her mother precap) she is only being what any elder sister in her place would be. Extremely credible. She's the one most weighed down by the onus of knowing (at least partially) Navya's secret and of course its too much responsibility for her to keep to herself, if something was really to go wrong. She'd then be the one living her life with the regret that she could have warned/checked the situation in time. Its working her up - and unfortunate as that is, she can't help being nosey/annoying/bossy/over protective. In the end, if we can understand where Dadi comes from, Renuka isn't unjustified. The thing i don;t like about her however, is how the CVs keep messing up her stand. She's here, there, all over the place. And because she's nothing of an elder sibling who'd wish to remain in 'good books' with her younger by playing accomplice, I wish she'd have a more stringent single path. Which plausibly can only be opposed to Navya's current wishfulness.
And I've already watched today's epi too - another part filler at least - but I'll refrain from including that anywhere, to avoid spoilers for you Nur, in case you haven't seen it yet.
