Crash Landing?

26th Aug

Need to watch episode again to comment, but the first watch was NOT great. In fact, I wonder whether this amnesia is catching. First Nups got it, then the CV's and now it seems both Samrat and Gunjan are suffering from it big time.

First, dialogues all through the episode were crappy. Didn't seem to have any relation with what has happened earlier in Season 2 at all. There's usually a handover when a new team takes over from an old one, and it seems this handover was completely omitted or ignored in MJHT, because whatever was spoken today between Sam ad Gunji really had nothing to do with where they were.
He had backed off, promised he wouldn't come near her again. Then why is he asking her to come back to him? Why is he saying that Nups being alive makes everything all right? And looking at it that way, I would have expected Gunjan to say, no, it doesn't, and she did say that, but not in the way I expected. Not saying that it was her words, her guilt at causing him pain that was holding her back but saying that her focus is still her sister and till her sister is all right, she can't think about anything else. Ever heard of multi tasking, Gunjan? And how can you put one relationship on hold based on another? Are you being fair to either?
Besides which, said sister is hardly helpless and on the street. She is very much married to a husband who wants to look after her, so why are you being such a goat?

But she also says that it was he who taught her to smile, to laugh, to love? She stops at that ... is that supposed to give him hope? It does, he forgets his own words, and promises that as her sister recovers, he will make sure their love story also comes back on track.
Dude, how about backing OFF for a bit? As you said you would do? If she's confused, give her space, let her at least feel your absence, then she will make up her mind faster.

After that, it was as though CV's decided that the audience wants SG romance, so let's give them SG romance. Samrat starts their love story again with a shower of flowers, then a dance ... the dance was the only scene which gave me goosebumps, because there were no dialogues. Otherwise every scene today where there were dialogue was imbecile.
Anyway, nice dance, and it seemed for a bit the SG of S2 were back, in their intensity, their closeness, the unspoken conflict ... and in the way Sam approaches her after the dance and backs off immediately when she turns away as though to say, not ready, this far and no more yet.

Next morning ... Sam is chirpy, and looks for his ... engagement ring???? Was he even wearing it all along? And Gunji equaly chirpily gives it back to him? But tells him not to ask her to wear hers - yet. She'll wear it after her Di is all right. hello, I thought she returned his ring and pendant after the accident?
*Head desk, head desk, head desk*

So he says he'll wait for her forever ... and she stares at him ... then runs away.

One thing is for sure ... SG will not unite this time until the end of MJHT. Because if the lead pair in a romcom unites, what's left in the show?
