May 13th: Things I liked - Page 2

You're not the worst case Nur - I only just got around to watching the episode. To be honest, the extended talks of the hug and whatnot scenes all over the forum sort of set a prejudiced stage for me, and I just didn't feel upto catching the Friday deal.

Finally I did give in now, since the next episode will air in a few hours - and can I just say I agree with mostly everything you've penned down here. It's as accurate as the analysis can get - if I was the one giving it too - so we're kind of on the same page. 

Not an outright disappointment - certainly not as bad as I was hearing it to be, and some definite scope of surprisingly sound script - minus the hug, or at least the execution of it as such, the episode could have actually gone down for a great Friday close of the week. 

Hoping this Monday will be another like the one just before!

Hey JZ...lol I also didn't have much motivation to watch the epi at first since by all descriptions it sounded like it was quite a comedyfest and there wasn't anything redeeming in it...but I finally got some time last night so watched it on a whim and was surprised that I didn't dislike it and rather actually found bits that I liked...lol...so had to make this post to get it out of my system😆

Your friend actually got it right I'd say...the one who texted you...we should've listened to her😆

Yes most definitely it wasn't AS bad as I was reading as well...so I was quite surprised...actually after two days of watching hyper Anant in the most cringe-inducing of avatars, this epi was a welcome relief in many ways (barring the last hug)...I felt they built up the flow to the final conversation well.

But I don't know where this will head from this point...hmmm😆 Let's see what this new week and this Monday brings for us.

Yay! 🥳 My favorite person's post in this forum. What more could I want? Honestly, this post just made my day. Call me a pile on or an opportunist or plain lazy ...*cheeky grin* But I like to piggyback my views on your posts Anu dearie ... simply because you analyze so well. Ab yeh baat alag hai that I may or may not agree on certain points ...😆 But here goes my 2 cents on whatever was weighing on my mind for the past three days:

After watching the episode once again with a much open mind, I must admit that I actually liked the episode up until the "hug" part.

I liked Renuka's outburst and her apparent jealousy with Navya's situation. I liked her mother trying to soothe her ruffled feathers, only to be rebuked and asked to keep quiet. It was such a typical mother-daughter scene that we find in all households. I feel so sorry for Renuka already.

I really liked AN's "bus chudd waa di" conversation and Anant's matter of fact way of telling Navya that he doesn't know why he's acting so weird lately. Even I LOL'ed when Navya said that now she'll have to go back home... Anant's quick thinking for taking the taxi was very masculine (for a lack of a better word). I even liked it that he didn't bother to pick up her luggage like a chivalrous coolie and run towards the taxi. The taxi conversation was very nice, with Anant trying to take the lead for a normal conversation and Navya being awkward despite the fact. It was in many ways symbolic of that traffic crossing scene where Anant takes the onus for leading Navya through the difficult times in their lives. I liked it when Navya innocently lets it slip that she left the bus for him and his curiosity getting piqued to know the reason. Very, very natural scene. I liked it when he asked her to get off the taxi and tell him why she did what she did. I even liked Navya's haltingly admitting that she doesn't know why she's changing either ... At this point, I wish the makers had left the open question hanging in cosmic void ...

Things I did not like:

1) Not only did I not like Navya's mechanical delivery of the 3 dialogues, I personally did not care much for them. I was cringing as she went through her dialogues because I felt that it is too soon for a timid and introvert girl like Navya to "confess" her feelings so soon, unless her life depended on it. You may disagree with this bit, but being an introvert person myself, I know just how difficult it is to talk about your feelings to someone you like. I know she likes Anant. Even then IMHO it was out of character for her to blurt out those 3 dialogues

2) Anant's tubelight like realization and the consequent hug

3) Their expressions as a result of the hug

Like I said in some other post, the fact that they went from liking each other's company to being madly in love in 3 seconds flat made me cringe.

Other than that - I actually liked the episode.

I am a silent reader. Love the Serial. Enjoyed watching the confession. Excellent dialogues..:) It makes one want to be young again.
@ Thanks for the lovely post. You have analyzed the episode very well. Looking forward to reading more of  your post..
btw, do you remember me? Nureat

Even then IMHO it was out of character for her to blurt out those 3 dialogues Hmmm...honestly I still did not find it out of character...cuz she did not say a cliched "I love you"...she verbalized her feelings and not even in a romantic fashion...but in this extremely confused/naive fashion...I think no matter how much of an introvert a person is, they have shown a gradual bond develop b/w AN...if she wouldn't say this to him at this point, who else would she tell...in a sense it's THEIR "secret" so to speak? On many levels there has been an unspoken understanding of what has been growing b/w them...they are both aware of it but don't speak of it even though the way they look at each other makes them both quite aware that KUCH toh hai...it was that KUCH that Navya verbalized there and on Anant's insistence...it's not like she was JUMPING to say it...THAT would have gone against her introvert character basis


Like I said in some other post, the fact that they went from liking each other's company to being madly in love in 3 seconds flat made me cringe. I don't know about "madly in love" but this had anyways escalated from just liking being in each  other's company when Anant was doing all kinds of crazy impulsive things landing up at her house and her ending up missing the bus on purpose to stay back for him...this had anyways elevated it from 'just liking each other's company' level I guess😆...the hug is the off bit I'd say...that's what was not needed...otherwise the flow was going fine.

Other than that - I actually liked the episode. Me too :-)

Apart from the whole 'Pehlaaa' BG, after analysing it for two days, the epi makes a l'le more sense.
