Mixed episode. Definitely, not what we were expecting. However, when I saw it I felt it must have looked good on paper, execution is always a hotchpotch. They seem to be racing against time, everyday, and that definitely affects the performance. They are probably expected to give quick takes, rather than take time to rehearse. I feel bad for the team.
So , let me get out of the way, few things I did not like:
- Rajeev-Sai wedding was hijacked, though it was nice to see both of them genuinely happy! I wonder if the remarriage was the channel's idea since it's marriage season in every other show on Star.
- Unfortunately, the insertion of Pakhi at every point, looked like the show is about Pakhi's unrequited love rather than Sairat.
- No time to rehearse. That too for Ayesha, it was a tough sequence, and the dance should have been better, or simpler, just her moving like she started off doing. They are really pushing her beyond her limits, and all I can say is it's a great learning experience.
- The entire execution could have been much much better. 😡
What I liked:
- Sai's entry was good though Ayesha looked tiny with such a big dholak. The dholak was tied to her waist! There were a couple of shots she did very well playing the dhol, with the beat and the right expressions. Hats off to her!
- I think Sairat needed this kind of public declaration. The entire C gang was stunned. The deal marriage, her love was a point of debate and Sai had always retorted in public, with her final statement , that she is going to be off post her studies. This scene was not meant to be intense. I really hope the intensity is saved for later in private and there, we will not have Pakhi! The point was pakhi had to see the confession, like in KD, but these guys just wrote in the entire mandli😆
- Neil was good, though his body language was stiff. Again, and again, I doubt the director because in Ayesha's dhol sequence, she was visibly falling down with the weight, and they let the shot pass!! Continuing with Neil, his surprise, his happiness, all were enacted well. For me, the best part was him playing the dhol. When they showed the FB, I saw a clear difference between the FB and his look at Sai. Pakhi was clearly an infatuation, they flirted a bit. Period. He is madly in love with Sai, couldn't take his eyes off her. Neil conveyed it very well. Now it remains to be seen if his deewanano jaisa pyaar manifests itself today and in the future. 😆
Dhol sequence, both Sai and Virat were in their own space lost in each other. It was well done.
PS: The kiss was a blip😆. hardly registered.
