Thing is, it wasn't an out of line or bad episode per se - just quite underwhelming, you used the EXACT word - and well, Mohan's haircut toh had to disappoint me to the bones. I have an obsessive streak with haircuts I guess - and I honestly can't remember the last time I was a fawning over a male (fictional or otherwise) with tidy slick hair. The mess is just part of their character to me, and I always root for the unruly kind - hair, and boys ๐ I remember how compulsive people felt about Kesar's hair at one point, muje toh tab bi woi messy wale maangte the ๐ Jes jes...I vividly remember your DEPRESSION over Kesar's haircut๐...in that case, I toh wanted him to get a haircut but when he did get one it was like TOO SHORT๐...kya yaar...these ppl never seem to manage to trim it right๐...but yeah I understand what you mean about the mess just being a part of the very characters after a point๐
Khair - specific to Mohan's case, haircut just tames his look in a way that is not appealing to me. It's like taking away a spark from his character - and what a prelusive sign to his encounter with Rashmi tomorrow (wese his klutzy ways in the precap made me grin briefly! Trust Mohan to bring down a rack of pulses and what not at the mart ๐ just in time to meet up with an old upturned nosy EX! Kya perfect timing hai, maan na padega boss ๐) LOL I LOVED that...it's SO Mohan...bringing down an entire rack of stuff on himself...adorable little klutz that he is๐...Rashmi toh whatever...she has no appreciation for this unique aspect of Mohan...pshhh๐...can't wait for Megha to show up there with "aji sunte ho"๐Khair - back to today. Personally for me, the RM scene worked well. I do feel that the one thing I would have preferred differently is watching the entire thing in the span of a single episode, than in a carry over, because I think the flow would be even better, if not marred by expectation and speculation of an entire day in between! But Renu and Mohan were both FANTASTIC with their comic timing, expressions and whatnot! Mohan thoroughly enjoyed his prank, and it was hard to not enjoy it with him ๐ I like how he mildly started at the mention of Megha's name for Renu's rescue mission, but how a moment later he was back to his whatever, bring it on mode ๐ And MM expressions at the sight of each other at the station was well done too! In fact, I don't want to miss complementing the actor who played the SI! ๐ He was so nicely and naturally chummy with Mohan - it was a great scene overall, effective in it's intent.And that's really where most of my high points for the episode end. Again, my complain is not about the events/matters dealt with - but just how underwhelming the execution was given how there was some significant groundwork involved in the making of today's episode, for future tracks. Mohan and his mother, Mohan and Rashmi, Megha in Mohan's house... quite a few first foundations.The MM scene was, frankly ineffective. I love Megha's smile, can't say half of that about her "laugh" scenes. And such a bad idea then, to actually focus SO much on the one version of emoting she is NOT so good at! I did like just that bit of Megha rolling eyes at Mohan and dismissing whatever the mystery prank was, and Mohan being Mohan dissing his whatnot smug delight keeping her guessing (oh Mohan!) and relenting after all. Oh yeah! The eyerolls were back today! How could I forget to mention those๐...it was good-natured exasperation from Megha's side today though๐
Then, there was just too much of lingering camera. On Megha's laugh. On Mummy's frown. Even on Mohan's captivation. Far too extended a scene. WORD *sigh*...What COULD have been a nice scene was killed by too much lingering camera...*sighhh*Mohan's range of reactions from the moment he walks in on Guru and his mother feel too ephemeral too make an impact - and it's hard to say exactly how or why, because one scene I'm finding too much extension and drag, the next I'm finding too much diluted by transience! Overall - I would have wanted to feel more strongly about this scene, and I didn't. DITTO! You've nailed what was bothering me about the scene.
It was evident that Mohan wanted to assure his mother, but that his continual distraction this way or that was making his assurance rather in vain - but it didn't really hit me like a point. And it should have, I think, because technically, Mummy is VERY much in the right. And I felt more apathetic than anything else about her concern... like mehhh, whatever! She's just here for a couple minutes anyway - if these are scenes/lines Mohan is supposed to dwell over later - they had to have more impact! Again, throwing in Mohan's father angle right there in the middle of all else, with a nano second duration didn't work for me - there was just too much constant shift in the scene, I guess... I dunno if I'm making sense anymore... *nods along in agreement* You're making perfect sense to me...We SHOULD have cared in that scene...yet we didn't...it had a "let's get this over with" vibe to it...didn't make the impact needed.---And for someone who didn't feel up for a comment, my rant ran long. What's new... ๐ค LOLL itna toh banta hai boss...waise I also ended up posting more than I expected considering how underwhelmed I felt otherwise๐xx

@CraziestGurtian: You have a point about Aakanksha's laugh being weird in real life to begin with๐...bechari kya kare...woh aise hi hansti hai๐...
but jokes apart, Manali has a point about Aakanksha needing to work on making her laughing scenes more natural...I did feel she was better today in the laughing than some previous scenes...but the scene was shot badly today.
Originally posted by: booosiRamy, Anu...I did not think there was anything off with Kunal. I thought it was Mohan who seemed off with the mention of Rashmi. Even Guru said today that Mohan was silent the last time he met Rashmi...and until now when ever Rashmi was mentioned he goes quite...so maybe he is just so hurt he does not want to dwell on that issue any more๐ค
Well Megha will get the real story out of Mohan I guess after the supermarket scene๐คLOL Anu...my brain is working overtime today with all the possible scenarios ๐
Originally posted by: CraziestGurtian Yayyy... ๐ ๐And yes, I did say i havent watched the epi yet so will decide about the editing and direction then ๐... and yes she needs to improve, not only in this...but i feel sometimes she also needs to be a little more "reactive" in those spontaneous scenes...๐ค ... like those action-reaction scenes where she gets disgusted, irked abt mohan's random antics... ๐ ... I feel so... cause its like I understand it is a very realistic, simple show and all that jazz, ๐ but you gotta put that impact into it despite of how natural or simple you want the feel to be!! โญ๏ธ Just my thoughts... ๐
