I finally managed to write it down πŸ˜†-
The disappearance of Jahnvi Purohit.
Dev's in a hospital to get an injection but crime seems to follow him there too.
The pregnant woman whom he encounters in the hospital happens to be missing for a week after they met in the hospital. This certainly raises some suspicion in the detective's mind and there he's off to track Jahnvi.
The concept chosen for this episode was a common one but it was shown in a totally fresh way. Appreciate that.
The part where Dev communicates in Marathi was just so good! I love Marathi and even though I don't know it, it was great to see Dev speak it, that too with an accent.
Those hilarious one-liners of Dev are just so amazing! Always laughing like mad on them.
So. Meera and Aviraj are in the house & Mr. Dev Burman is already being questioned for availability of clothes in his wardrobe. The way that kid gave him stares was so hilarious. I'm like, we know Aviraj, we know, those are some gorgeous pair of legs and it's difficult to get your eyes off.
Meera looks real cute as a mother and I am so waiting to see Avi trouble Dev.
The story unfolded with those usual suspects but the humour content totally made it far more entertaining to see.
The extent to which Dev involves himself in the case causes him to feel so much pain when he's not able to tap the right clues. His frustration when he ruins his bedroom after not being able to move forward with the case was portrayed so perfectly. He works for saving innocent lives and not just for money which shows such a kind character he is.
Meera has now turned into a major helping hand for Dev which is great because that will help them bond together. Zohra Appa is not the only one who helps now. Meera's there for him too.
I thought that he's gonna find Jahnvi safe and alive in the end but he couldn't. And that scene was so heart wrenching for us as audience to see. I had not even imagined the ending to be this sad. And to top it off, we had such emotional dialogues from Dev and not to forget that saddening background music.
To whoever is choosing the songs in background, you're doing a great job!
Dev & Mehak's car scene in the flashback looked so fake because I don't think that they were actually driving the car. But the scene was beautiful. We are slowly and steadily being introduced to Dev's past and I just don't know how long will I be able to hold my patience.
Narvekar gets onto my nerves sometimes.
Why is he so much into Dev! Why does he have to spew such hurtful words every damn time! The part where he came to Dev's house to ask about Meera & the moment he addresses Dev as a criminal, Dev's face stiffened. It's as if he does that to hide his inner feelings from everyone. And with this regular hiding which he has been doing, he has even forgotten to reveal his pain to himself.
The precap made me really happy because my guess of Narwekar being there when Mehak died came out just right.
It was an amazing episode which took us on a rollercoaster of emotions with every minute into the show.
The only error I noticed was- When Dev walked down the steps to talk to Amod in the last scene, his footsteps didn't at all match to the sound effects.
The dubbing still needs improvisation in terms of volume control of the dialogues.
Thanks for having my darling Madhubala in today's episode.

Love the way you put thoughts into the episode, analyse it and write it. Nice review. :) Looking forward to Meera-Avinash and Dev interactions. Good thing is they are showing realism also in stories, so sad ending is expected. Though it was heartbreaking. I am loving background music in show. didn't find fault in his footsteps and bg music; or maybe did not notice that. dont know.

You are really doing a great job with the reviews, Prathama!
Meera! ❀️ Sumona is portraying that character effortlessly. Just love her! Also liked the girl who played Jhanvi.
Yeah, Narvekar is adding more to Dev's woes. Can't wait to see how things unfold. I've already mentioned some of the possibilities in Virus (BeingBlunt)'s thread. I've got one more in mind. πŸ˜† Dev's case seems more intriguing than anything else right now.
Also, I agree with you regarding bg music. Apt songs selection!

Thank you so much Charu. You're so sweet.😳
Yeah.. nothing is superficial in this show and I love how each episode is built up intricately.
BG music matches the scene so well every time πŸ˜ƒ
But I did lol.. I'm sure there was some mismatch

Maybe she was depressed + drunk (a bottle was there) and was going to take an extreme step (a rope was there)
"Kya kar rahi ho?" "Chodo" can be heard in the flashback. Dev somehow got hold of the gun & Mehak got shot accidently.
I'll give full marks to the makers for keeping us so hooked. πŸ˜† Do check the other theories as well. πŸ˜†

Glad to find this forum πŸ˜ƒ
Nice review! Female foeticide is an imp issue that needs to be highlighted more often.Yes, Jhanvi's death was certainly sad & shocking (BG song which is my all time fav added to the scene) Overall, I'm liking this show so far..it's well directed and Dev's got an interesting character sketch/past story. The only person I haven't warmed up to yet is Meera as I don't want to see typical love angles plus I'm not fond of the actress.

Thank you so much Richa. 😳
I was literally depressed for a few hours after the end of the episode! It was so emotionally draining.
Jhanvi had a smile which could always make you smile.😊
