I have mixed feeling about today's episode.
The ARS that they showed today - ruthless, cunning, manipulative, and heartless is the one I actually would like to see more of rather than the "I'm going to plan to murder someone today" version of her. But now that ARS has used her trump card, she really has nothing to hold on to once the liver donation happens. Which makes me wonder - how long and in what ways are they going to drag Mannat using the "confession" video on her phone to get ARS to continue doing her bidding...
Coming to the Manvik scene - Adnan and Ayesha did a really good job but it didn't hit the mark for me for several reasons.
1. I feel the confrontation was diluted in a sense with Mannat already knowing from ARS that the wedding plans were fake - it should have been Vikrant revealing that information along with the fact that he is in love with her and the aftermath of it should have been focused solely on that instead of it being mixed with the gold digger and mom angle.
2. I did not like that Vikrant was drunk through the whole thing - Mannat pretty much laid out how she has been treated by his family and the Rai-Singh's and how she feels , did it even register?!?!? I would have preferred if they had showed him getting drunk after their confrontation instead of before.
3. The whole "just like how you care for your mom, I care for my mom" dialogues is like broken tape recorder that is going no where. (Dear Vikrant, no one is questioning that you care for your mom, but maybe it's time you open your eyes and see that your mom is not an angel and treats people horribly, also she is more worried about losing to Mannat than your actual health and is poisoning you)
4. Vikrant not questioning Mannat's ridiculous request for her shareof Mezbaani (as I said in a post yesterday - if there is one thing that Vikrant should know for sure, is that Mannat is not a gold digger - she has actually proven that time and again).
Again, we'll see where all of this heads to. Maybe it's time to revisit the initial episodes of Manvik and relive those moments.
