Mujhe mere topic title pe bahut proud feel ho raha hai. So bherry innovative no...😛

Anyway, jokes apart. Today's episode wasn't bad but it was pretty useless (I don't know which one is the better option). Barring the scene where Virat randomly plays his guitar in Manvi's room, all the other scenes were quite decent but once again did nothing for the real story. At the end of it you just end up feeling blah! I guess this is what happens when the main plot is delayed for the sub-plots. That song from Koi Mill Gaye comes in to my mind when I think of summing up the show's storyline 'Idhar chala, mein udhar chala...jaane kaha mein kidhar chala'. I am literally hoping that Manvi's reports come out negative because apart from the medical aspect, this show needs some interesting drama too and by drama I don't mean Manvi getting jealous of Virat's closeness with another girl. That's quite a small factor compared to the bigger picture. The only thing which keeps coming back to me is if this whole Mumbai track was inserted for two reasons 1) VM's love ishtory and 2) Jeevika's approval and if this is meant to play out for something bigger in the future then may be I'll understand the slight rush from Manvi and Jeevika in changing their viewpoint on Virat. It seems quite strange how quickly things are progressing on both fronts :\

Now coming to the chemistry part. I truly believe that no matter how great an actor is, no matter how brilliant chemistry two leads share, if the script isn't right then you won't be able to connect to the characters. That's why even SRK and Kajol are more remembered for Raj-Simran and Rahul-Anjali than their chemistry in Baazigar or Karan Arjun.

I don't know why they had to show Manvi getting lost like that. They found each other anyway so was it just a way of dragging the episode for no reason? And erm, should I just accept that Manvi has no breathing issues while phudaking like she did? One thing I was happy to see is that Jeevika was having fun with Manvi and that is something I personally missed. At least in those small moments she is being Manvi's friend and the strict sister. How I wish she was more authoritative in the treatment area :(

Don't kill me but I'm glad Virat volunteered to take photos instead of joining the Behna's because there are some moments which should be exclusively left for them. I remember KD had once said that both her and Nia were given freedom to do whatever they want in the famous Behna Hrishikesh day out before Jeevika's wedding and today it felt like the same. They were just left to be free and that's most probably the most genuine part from today's episode. Now if the writers were to transform this chemistry in to something substantial to move the story forward then that would be perfectamundo because nothing is above the script. If you have chemistry like this then USE it in the right way!

You summed it all up, buddy, and can I just say that those pics, my opinion, seem more like Krysnia then Jeeman. No actually this is the original Jeeman I should say, cuz Jeeman were lost for the past weeks or months whatever it was and now the fun and masti was back. The only thing that upset me was that Jeevika and Virat didn't stop Manvi even once from running around and playing like that. In fact Jeevika herself was acting like a little kid who has come to the beach for the first time. But actually I don't blame her because that is exactly how Jeevika is from the beginning when she is with Manvi.She forgets all sensibility when she is with her Mannu. Now I feel like a hypocrite, cuz in Ayesha's thread I was really irritated at Jeevika for being really kiddish, but that was right after I skipped through the epi so it all seemed like a jumble. And I am pretty sure that this Mumbai trip is for Jeevika's approval and Manvi's realization so basically just for the Virman love ishtory. But for some reason Jeevika all of a sudden being ok with VirMan's badthi nazdeekiyan is not clicking with me. Cuz according to EHM time scale it was two days ago that Jeevs was discussing with Viren her worries regarding how buaji would be mad if Virat went with them. And lowe your title yaar, and the idhar chala song totally goes with the show's storyline these days. Mind-a-blowing, 👏Like you said it was a fillerish episode nothing that moved the story forward except maybe gaining support in the VirMan lowe ishtory, and Manvi getting closer to realization.

Ah the behnas are so lovely!

But you said what I said. I think if there was no cancer track, today's episode would have been really nice. I did love the behna scenes but I had to make myself forget that Maanvi is fighting cancer.

Remember the scenes when Maanvi had her first chemo and the scenes afterwards when she was running around with Dabbo and her little friends and how breathless she used to get? Or right before she found out she had cancer and she was running after Virat and fainted? Now the same Maanvi is jumping around like a nutcase in Mumbai's heat and it does nothing to her??

The behna scenes are always nice because Krystle and Nia have an amazing bond and beautiful chemistry and it shows on the screen. If it was anyone else, it would have looked weird as well.

P.S: I am really hoping starting tomorrow (as in EHM tomorrow, not our tomorrow), the focus gets on cancer track again. Or else, as I have said before, if they don't do something serious about the cancer track starting this week, I am going to skip the show until the cancer track ends just like how I did with Maya track.

I agree Farikina, I had to tell myself over and over again to forget about Manvi's cancer even though I skipped through the whole epi.
Mumbai is doing wonders for Manvi, maybe it is Virat's lowe. Shouldn't she be weaker now, than before. Sab cvs ki kripa hai, boss. The only thing that makes this show watchable is the amazing cast and the fact that the bonds might regain their lost charm warna I would have quit this long ago.

You know it's really tough to find the right balance with Jeevika's character so everyone is satisfied but we're never going to get that simply because if she's too strict then we say she's overdoing it and if she has fun with Manvi then she's not taking good care of her. May be because I genuinely craved seeing the FUN Jeevika and Manvi, today's scene didn't seem out of place. Manvi is a free bird, Jeevika just about stopped her from having pani puri but then she'll run away again. So either you confine her or join in with her making sure she is ok and I noticed Jeevika did her trademark 'I'll slap you' action in the midst of the jumping around too.

Hmm yeh maybe Jeevika's sudden approval of VM's relationship is a bit forced but then I didn't want her to look like the villain this time either :( If she can genuinely see Virat taking care of Manvi then maybe change of heart is natural.

I mentioned this in the AT, about how the best actors in the world cannot compensate for a poor script and your example was spot on. SRK and Kajol are remembered by not only for their chemistry but the characters they embodied. This cast have fantastic chemistry now the writers need to utilise that into their script.

There were too many flaws into today's episode from Virat in Maanvi's bedroom softly playing his guitar, to an untimely conversation about Viren's childhood to the whole getting lost scenario. I believe Mumbai darshan still could have been done with a sense of realism. But I'm asking for realism in a Hindi daily show, unfortunately I'm asking for too much.

The beach scenes were great and it did remind me of their day out in Rishikesh, yet I wanted something different to that. Something that held the gravity of the disease hand in hand.

With such a big storyline, there doesn't seem to be an actual storyline. There now needs to be something to push the story forward or something to provide a catalyst.

Quite blatantly the side-effects of the second chemo session have vanished in to thin air. I remember Dr Manan saying that the third session could have more serious implications. Let's see if they decide to stick to that or whether Manvi miraculously comes out as super woman there too :P

KN are beautifulll <3

Virat playing the guitar and Maanvi getting lost made no sense to me either but a lot of things don't make sense in this show now days.
