College and media

26th feb episode

MN scene - expected. Arjun looks a bit spaced out these days.
Adhiraj returns - AS reunion. As unimpactful as ever! Did the cv's really think this couple could overtake SG? They leave even less impact on me than MN!
Adhiraj-Gunjan scene - another one bites the dust! Can see more feeling in Adhiraj's eyes with Gunjan than with Suhani! Sweet scene - and needed to round out the bonding.
But the gang scene dialogues were useless - no punch.

JD and YD - why are they so fixated on Nupur? Again, badly thought out track. If they kill or go after Nupur, isn't it implicating them? And the college not being on the gang's side is very unrealistic.

Foursome discussing tactics - for once, Nupur is behaving like Gunjan - calmer, while Sam and Mayank are lost what to do, though they all recognise JD's strength. Gunjan as calm, starts off saying that they have to use their brains ... acid attack on Nupur. Sam's reaction - teri to! Mayank - blank again - what is wrong with him? Nupur stops them running after the guy. Gunur hug - Gunjan petrified what if something had happened to Nupur.

Nupur tells the rest about JD's threat to kill Sayank, which was why she went to him.
Gunjan horrified - she doesn't want justice, she doesn't want the truth, if it's at the cost of something happening to her loved ones. And isn't that the way we all react? Take things lying down because we're scared of the consequences? Not for ourselves, but for the people we love. And that's how and why so many people get away with so much - by taking advantage of those fears. That's how JD is playing on Nupur too, by threatening not her, but the people she loves.
This was a GREAT scene - not least because of the sheer fear and panic in Gunjan's eyes and the way she spoke. Few words again ... stopped everyone in their tracks. Before you start a fight, you need to be sure that it is worth fighting for and that you can carry it to the finish.
And Samrat tells her - no, we have to fight, because it's already started and we have to carry it to the finish - how is it that the SG dialogues always are so much more meaningful than any others.
Gunjan clutches his hand to stop him - and looks at him pleadingly, and he understands her completely, her fear for him, but this time he cannot listen to her. The ten seconds of SG that MAKE the whole episode again! He goes with Mayank and she gazes after him, her love, her fear in her eyes ... when he comes back, is she going to be able to even pretend there's any distance between them? Or that it's 'friendship'?

Oh and why is Gunjan looking so unbelievably stunning in this scene?!!! BEAUTIFUL doesn't begin to describe her - especially the part where she stares after Samrat with tears and love in her eyes.

College scene - not very convincing. They should have had Dia and Suhani convincing the girls - that could have been a good scene, and made the track more girl-centric again, that it's the girls who recognise the threat of eve-teasing. The media has been portrayed very funnily - usually media is quite happy to attack politicians! Maybe they want to show a turnaround, but they need to put more thought into these parts to make them more logical. There are too many loopholes.
Lathi charge on the students - Sayank hurt? And what about Nupur getting hurt? How many people will be hurt before the turnaround starts?
