DMG2 - getting better. The comedy scenes are good - all five are doing their parts well. Sid is still a bit OTT, but pulls it off. Yuvi and Naina have improved a lot in dialogue and expressions. Tamanna needs to get a life! Aniket Hindivala is good - he's so sweet, you feel sorry for him!

Upping the ante
7 December
Upping the tension meter! as expected Gunjan tells Mayank 2 more days (shot three, dubbed two! getting conscious of days!) Just a thought - satyavadi harishchandra has not yet confessed to Bui about his own lies, so why is he acting so self-righteous?
Another thought - the whole adhiraj problem is because Nupur hasn't told Bui about Mayank. So if MN tell bui, Adhiraj will automatically be withdrawn from the matrimonial lists while Bui and MN fight it out, and there's no need to tell him any truth at all. In any case, why tell him - he's an outsider. Even if after knowing the truth, he withdraws like a true gallant knight, Bui will furnish another prospect.
Girls in locker room, Samrat enters, no fight, they manage to fool him that they were talking about party. Honestly all these people in MJHT are rather dim! Canteen and kheer - Samrat hates kheer. How did gajar ka halwa change to kheer? And Suhani could make kheer at the age of nine?!!! But quite nice bro-sis scene.
Very nice SG scene - full of tension. Gunjan is upping the pressure too - samrat, face it, stop running away. Loved her first dialogue - whenever you were upset, you used to come to me, why are you running away from me now? So defines their relationship. Samrat's acting was really good - Mohit wants to do comedy but I like him much better in serious scenes.
AS scene - not bad, tolerable, as it was related to Sam Suhani.
Last MN scene - again, Mayank on his 'tell the truth' binge. Mayank, you do realise that if Nupur tells Adhiraj the truth, then your truth will come out as well - why Nupur is so anti-babloo in the first place?
Precap - So samrat is confronting Suhani.
And thank god, same dance promo, I don't want to see any more SG scenes of the dance. There won't be anything left to see in the episode! I have to say, Gunjan is really not herself. Now I will actually be disappointed if she isn't drunk! That will be character destruction!

Sa Re Ga Ma - still the best
SaReGaMa - still the best reality singing show in terms of sheer talent. Also the judges and participants don't do unnecessary nautanki just for trp's. The singers are amazing. What a pleasure to watch. Was rooting for W Bengal but Assam could have easily won as well.

Good evening!
4th december
Good episode overall - precap made me forget the whole episode!!! OMG Sajan were so CUTE!!! Just for that one scene I will want to watch the song! Probably won't get much more, but that one is good enough! Sam's expression when Gunji teased him - priceless!!! And her smiles - even more priceless!!!
ok, back to episode.
MN looking for A, G looking for Su. GunSu conversation - covered the question I had - why does it matter if she's another Nupur? True, A has a really long nose and an annoying tendency to stick it into what's none of his business. And if he starts investigating Su, then her truth will come out. So ok, accepted.
MN-GSu scene took most of the rest of the episode, except for the basketball team announcement - expected, including the AS eyelock.
MN-GSu scene - good. Well written scene, the discussion of the moral dilemma was beautifully done and kept the tension and the momentum of the scene. Gunjan introduced Suhani and gave the initial explanations, but kept quiet when Mayank was talking - she knows he's right, but for once she's thinking with her heart. Am really liking Majan interactions since yesterday. Nupur trying to reason with Mayank, Suhani was good too - so that's one thing cleared, Suhani is not as dense as her brother! She knows Samrat loves Gunjan madly and that's her only hope.
Precap - Loved it! Gunjan in teasing mode :)
followed by an excellent SaReGaMa episode - what singing! and a funny scene in DMG - brainless, but funny - and I've had a good evening! Lots to rewind and watch this weekend, the precap is on top of the list!
Addendum - after discussion. In the song - is Gunjan drunk? Maybe - and that will definitely precipitate something. Can't have her getting drunk for nothing, or just for sweet teasing moments, it has to be part of the story. And definitely again, the Suhani story coming in front of Samrat will not be at a time of Gunjan's choosing, but will be something dramatic and unexpected. Looking at the MG scene again, Gunjan is very quiet after Mayank starts talking, Suhani does all the arguing thereafter, then the locker room, where Suhani says three days. My guess is that Gunjan agrees with Mayank about telling the truth, but convinces him to give Suhani three more days - maybe till the bb match, so that Samrat can play without this on his mind as it is such an important match for him. Mayank will agree to that - he will understand that logic. So the lie is to last till the bb match.
The last bit - Samrat's expression when he sees the three girls in the locker room. I don't think he's overheard their conversation. Things don't normally happen normally!

again good
3rd December
Sign of a good episode - when you wait for the next day the moment the episode finishes.
And this was quite a good episode.
Again no AS - that is becoming first criterion! Actually Adhiraj is improving in acting, but their love story needs to wait. Uday Suhani was nice - natural acting by Suhani, Uday is always decent.
SG-MN scene - good tension, and for the first time in this entire YEAR, Gunjan showed some anger! No wonder Mayank was taken aback - he literally did a double take! Watching the scene again – that was what made his anger cool – the fact that it was Gunjan who was telling him he was wrong! Few words, but oh so effective! Paved the way for Sam to make the explanations. GM/Arnaya do make a good pair – would be nice to see them in a serial together!
MN make up scene - thankfully not dragged, because their make up scenes have nothing much left in them, they just happen too often. Hopefully this will be the last for some time. Mayank actually remarks on Gunjan's anger! Am glad they're showing some MG interaction - both are kindred spirits, except for the Mayank temper. Make up over, SG enter, cutting short yet another hug. Scene perked up once they entered - Samrat says that if the world listened to his Chashmish, it would be a better place! Hope he remembers that later!
Morning - Nupur tells Gunjan she's going to tell Adhiraj the truth - G horrified. Am glad she spoke to Suhani first before telling Nupur - would have been disappointed if she had told Nupur without telling Suhani. That would not have been Gunjan - she knows how to keep confidences. Even from her own sister - this is Suhani's secret, not hers, and Gunjan's sense of what is right and wrong is very clearcut. Anyway they both tell MN, so now ... Suhani's secret is going to be kept for a bit longer. Let's see how they carry this forward - the story is getting interesting and unpredictable. But I hope that MN just act as support system and don't have to intervene between SG - between Samrat and Suhani, they may be required. But SG are perfectly capable of handling whatever issues come up between them - they really don't need a third party.
Hehe ... almost forgot - Gunjan telling her sister, can you please come out of drama queen avatar and talk normally! :) Sam's influence again?! Cute!
Umm, why are they going to college? Thought Mayank had come for the weekend! Very dedicated students!
Re: yesterday's post about Suhani keeping her wits about her and keeping up the pretense for Adhiraj, and then today's precap - yes, of course, she was as keen as before not to reveal her true identity yet. Sometimes the creatives do remember small details - just sometimes!!!

Kadak episode!
2nd December
After the brainless comedy of the last two days, a good episode. There was logic to everything - a rarity in MJHT, including even Dodo today and how he stuck to AS. AS scene was actually sit-through-able today as there was no romance!
MN - misunderstanding again, underplayed by both actors and therefore the seriousness came across much more than their normal shouting matches. Liked the little touches - Suhani keeping her wits about her and moving close to Nupur so that Adhiraj couldn't figure out that Mayank was talking to Nups and not to her, and replying to Mayank's question to Nupur, again for A's benefit. Pity Mayank didn't figure that one out - thought he was supposed to be intelligent. They are really portraying his character in the love department a little strangely and irrationally - addendum below.
SG acting again as referees - wonder what's going to happen when Samrat discovers Gunjan's lie - but looking at them today and their talk to MN respectively, again I feel Samrat will land up listening to Gunjan eventually - there will be more hurt than anger. They are both far more cool headed than MN, the interesting part will be that every time they have broken their friendship, it has been Gunjan's doing, this time Samrat is the one who will be hurt and might distance himself from her - at least temporarily.
As for precap and Gunjan ticking off Mayank - woohoo!!! Go Gunjan! Yes, someone has definitely been reading all our discussions on Gunjan and her character development! And loved Samrat at the end - Miss-Understanding! Looking forward to tomorrow's episode to watch the new improved Gunjan! I thought Samrat was the only one who could tackle an angry Mayank, the rest, including Nups, were all scared of his temper, but looks like Gunjan is getting there as well. How much confidence Samrat has given her! Now this is character development! Samrat developing maturity and Gunjan developing confidence!
addendum - after many days, had a thought on MN. Yet another misunderstanding - true. But is this finally a turning point? Coincidence - the project misunderstanding was exactly one year ago. The big difference this time - Mayank was a loner then, confided in no one but his mom. Now he talks to Samrat very freely, and definitely has a lot of respect for Gunjan. In that sense, he is coming out of his isolation to having regular friends whose opinion he actually respects and does listen to, to some extent at least. Will this be an opportunity to bring out the real reason WHY is he always so quick to distrust Nupur i.e. something in his past ... maybe abandonment by his father/ early death of his father/ problems between his parents leading to separation, which leads to an innate distrust of love as an emotion, and the irrational commitment phobia he showed earlier, when he didn't want to acknowledge his relationship with Nupur, and now, his promptness to jumping to conclusions, showing his own insecurity about his relationship and her commitment to it. Is this a reflection of what happened between his parents, and therefore not really as irrational as it seems?
Guess we will have to wait and watch. His arrogance and ego has not really changed very much, but it has softened slightly. If we look back at the phone call between Samrat and Mayank after the bus scene, Samrat says - you should thank me for my plan, Mayank doesn't say thanks, instead, he says, you should thank me that I stayed back, otherwise your gf wouldn't be with you, but would be wiping her sister's tears. Yes, arrogance still there, but toning down ever so slightly. So he still has a long way to go. Maybe it is his defensiveness and his own internal insecurity that manifests as his arrogance, a chip on the shoulder kind of thing. Wonder if the cv's will take this up at all - otherwise the MN story really has nowhere to go. SG still has a lot of meat - sister, then mom dad ... parents are still the mystery element, and they come separately, not together, so that track can be stretched for months. But Mayank's mom loves Nupur, no problems there, it's only the mystery dad and his role in shaping Mayank's character that has any unknowns left in it.
If cv's take it up at all that is - they might prefer to keep things the way they are - one nautanki couple, one emotional couple and one ...??? WHAT to label AS? So far Adhiraj's character is half baked in the extreme - does he have a hidden agenda in pursuing Nupur or is he really being good obedient son and following the arranged match set up for him? And why does he hate Samrat so much? No, lots of unexplained stuff there as well. Wonder what path will be taken next.

SG first scene ... awwwwww :)))
1st December
1st scene today and the best - SG ... awwwwww! This couple is too cute and so full of genuinely cute nautanki! Not the brainless slapstick stuff that happened during the rest of the episode. Gunjan gets out of the bachpan ka basketball ... but i felt Samrat's suspicions were aroused - his chashmish really can't lie to save her life. But then he's a bit slow on the realisation front ... so can't decide. Anyway, he got busy in teasing her thereafter and the "say ILU" was soooo cute! Best part - she says it! :))) How adorable is her smile! No wonder Sam is fida!
The rest of the episode was a merry go round of making coffee and not drinking it ... fairly retarded. And Nupur is lying to Mayank ... yet again! More misunderstanding?! The Sajannups scene was cute too - samrat and nupur squabbling over whose coffee it was - and nupur's 'vahi to!' reminded me of the lady from Office Office!
Why is Adhiraj such a chipku - why is he even in the house at this late hour anyway? After being asked some six times to leave! And why is he asking Gunjan how she got in - it's her house, she lives there - how she got in is her problem, not his! Nosy parker!
Oh well, this week is going to be fultoo brainless nautanki - but if we get a cute SG scene once in a while, I'm okay! Just had a thought though, are they leading up to breaking both the secrets at the same time, now that all the couples and the world's worst secret keeper are in the house together? Happened in DMG last year - we had a few really crazy nautanki episodes, followed by the bomb track which was the best set of episodes tension wise.
