31st Aug
Precap apparently had Sajan ... Nups has invited Samrat to her house ... erm, Gunji's house ... in her latest mission ... to get Samrat Gunjan together ... why do RP and missions always go together??
I have a feeling this will backfire ... lightening will strike twice ... she will see SG making out - because if they're alone, it's impossible that they DON'T make out ... And she will lose her cool, and regain her memory ... once a haddi, always a haddi ... and even amnesia cannot make her forget her haddipana ...
So tomorrow will be the unveiling of Nups' memory ... and we will finally discover why she lost her memory - it was because she lost her brain ... except for the part which controls the tongue - that part overgrew to compensate for the rest.
Am irritated with the show ... havent watched the episode, so no sensible or even hopeful comments today.
If we get a Sajan scene tomorrow, which it appears we might, will write again.

Horrendous
30th Aug
Don't remember much of the episode because it was horrendous. Shukla sir seems to think so too - he has left for teerth yatra while Nups is around - probably could't stand the screeching either. So principal is back.
Some inane stuff with RoAsh and Nupur - made no sense at all ... except that Nupur is trying to gel with RoAsh ... so she sends them on a book race ... skipped all that, so don't know why ...
Ten seconds of SG after they fight ... then he looks at her hand, she's not wearing any ring ...
No head or tail in this ring story ... YET in those few seconds they manage to bring back the missing intensity of S2 ...
and then it's gone again.
As Nups decides she's going to re-unite SG ... fool, don't you know it's because of you they're apart in the first place? So it seems to be a real memory loss for her after all. Have the CV's finally decided on a track for her? Or ... judging from the precap - maybe not. Still gonna be all the "old" MN moments ... and maybe if we're lucky, we'll get a small SG story later ... but am so fed up of seeing Gunjan/Sanaya sidelined by nautanki and loud dramatics ... find RP totally unbearable now! Especially after seeing Sanaya in MC and how bubbly and bright she really is! She deserves a show much worthier of her than the crap this has become ... in exactly two weeks!!! How quickly one person can ruin a show ... no wonder CV's tried to get rid of her. And no wonder all the old crew is leaving on her return.

Slight recovery
27th Aug
Sam decides to back off ... finally! Again ... hope he keeps his word this time.
MN wake up and start fighting again ... *sigh*. I think Nupur is trying to get Mayank to forget her or hate her.
Gunjan remembering the engagement rings ka kissa ... should she or should she not wear her ring?
How did she even get her ring, anyway? Didn't she give it to Samrat's mom?
Sayank scene ... nice, serious for once. Mayank is really getting mad with Nups, Sam reminds him they're just acting, and they should give it time and have patience. He's talking about himself as well.
GuNur - Nups asks, what about engagement ring? Gunjan says, three years back, when we separated, just before and just after, lots happened between us ...
What is she talking about? Before and after? Their engagement? Their night together? and then, the accident, of course ...
but this dialogue has got me intrigued ...
if the dialogue writers actually knew what they were talking about, that is ...
Nups asks, what happened, Gunjan says, my Di was separated from me for ever. And she looks at Nups as though willing her to remember, and Nups looks away. Again, very good acting by Sanaya here.
Nups asks what happened, Gun says, because of the accident and Sam was driving. Nups says, so what, accident would have happened even if you were driving, and anyone could have died, it just happened to be your sister.
Wish she had put in the bit about brakes failing ... are they EVER going to bring that up? Esp as Mayank spent three years making a car to fix that flaw?
So Gunji starts thinkng, and asks, then what should I do?
Fortunately Nups doesn't tell her what to do, just says, figure it out yourself. But she doesn't think it's Sam's fault.
Gunji asks why, Nups says because he doesn't seem that kind of guy ... he seems very bhala ...
Dialogues again .. *head desk* ... what kind of guy?! Gunji never thought he crashed the car on purpose, but it was due to his carelessness ... what has being bhala got to do with it?!!!
Ash enters, reminds Nups about project, Nups seems to have forgotten she didn't want help. Ash and Gun will do the project. Nups makes small blooper about Gun being topper - don't know how Gun was ever topper, as she doesn't catch any of these bloopers. Or maybe she's just blinded by sister worship.
Ash says, my god, how much she talks!!! I second you, Ash ... can we just get Nups to shut up sometime?!
Next morning, Sayank ... Mayank is really back to college days, including his annoyance with Nups. Seems to have forgotten all his lowe!
Gunur see them, Nups asks Gun what she's decided about wearing her ring, Gun hasn't decided yet ... thank god it's not just about Nups' return. Says everything will have to start afresh. But she's scared of more hurt ...
Has she still not seen Sam's hurt?
Cute SayankRo scene, where Sayank learn from Ro that GunAsh have done Nups' project.
GunurAsh scene, where Ash happily tells Nups that she told Ro she and Gun did Nups' project. Nups nautanki again ... uff, this girl overacts so much! and talks so much, and bullies so much!!! Shouldn't be called Badi di, shd be called Badi amma!
Flavour of Season 2 was much more today ... no wonder episode was quite decent. And MN fights were missing, so the sreeching was minimal except for one skippable scene at the start. Sam also more like S2 Sam.

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?
SG episod link Most of the episode was SG today. About two minutes - the dance - was worth watching.

Nearing reconciliation ... or winding up?
25th August
Sajan locked in ... Sam promises Gunji her dinner. Goes to canteen to set it up. Back to S1 Samrat, complete with poor dialogue delivery ... slow down, for heavens sake, Mohit, you have the whole night! Seems like with the writer and screenplay writer, the director has changed too!
part 1
Blindfolds Gunjan, takes her to canteen, candlelit ... hmmm, getting slightly better. Or is it just the relief from the inane comedy that makes it seem better.
No, it is better. Gunjan opens her blindfold, thank God her hair is back to S2 style, loose and open. Already looks more like S2 Gunjan. They sit, then Sam realises that he's forgotten all about dinner ... so he runs to get it.
She says she will always remember these moments. If it was the old CV's, I would think something was coming up, now I think it's just random ... But liked the awkwardness ... they're still not completely at ease with each other, still unsure where exactly they are, where they're going. Because they both know each others' feelings ... but also what else lies between them.
part 2 - 2.50 onwards
Date - starts off as S1, teasing, laughing, roothna manana, playing games ... maybe they're just enjoying the release from the tension, and for the first time after 3 years, are able to look at each other without the shadow of Nupur coming in between, actually go back to the carefree days of college, when they were just two people madly in love ... then the fun chase, the catch and the sudden fast forward to S2, to the grown up Samrat and Gunjan, their eyelock, awareness of each other, but forgetting everything else ... where they are, who they are ... he holds her even tighter as they stare ... until they come back to themselves, and Sam is awkward again - he had promised not to go near her if she didn't want. And this tight clinch is most probably something she doesn't want.
So he releases her, both awkward, but thsi time it's she who recovers first ... and asks him for a rose. He says these are old, she says, but their scent is as sweet as our moments together. So he goes down on one knee and gives her the red rose. And she takes it.
part 3 0.48 - 1.52, 2.25 onwards. WHY 30 secs of dancing maniac robot in the middle, god only knows!
Part 4- all MN fight.
Sajan again - finishing dinner with jam sandwich, Sam wipes off jam from her mouth, again simple and sweet scene, he's awkward doing it, she's conscious, says thanks, he says, don't bring formality by saying thanks. Some relationships don't need a thank you or a sorry.
Back to S2 Samrat Gunjan. Swinging wildly.
part 5
Precap has me interested and apprehensive at the same time ... how are they going to handle this?

Hmmm
24th August
First half of the episode - all about MN fighting like cats and dogs and Nups screeching like a fishwife - machhiwali was such an apt description! ... and people actually like the sight of a supposedly grown man and woman fighting like five year olds? Definitely the younger members of the forum ... enjoying the 'old' MJHT flavour again.
A small Gunur scene worthy of mention - when Gunjan wonders whether this is really her Di or not ... wonder why that was out in at all ... is there actually some interesting story to come out, or was it just random? The way the MN track is going, seems fairly random ... except that Nups is fighting even more than she used to earlier, if that's possible ... if that on purpose? Naaah ... don't think CV's ever put so much of thought into MN. Doesn't seem like they're putting much thought into SG either these days ... two months of a heavy track has tired them out, and they don't know how to carry on.
SG watching from the library window ... okay-ish. I want Sam to withdraw ... even more.
The only scene remotely worth watching ... Sam asking Gunjan for dinner, her saying nothing, he gets disappointed, then she asks, where should we go. Well done, nothing OTT, no wide beaming smiles, just small, cautious ones. Monaya seem to understand their characters inside out now - they know just how Samrat and Gunjan would react. Can't believe the same person who directed the loud, OTT, screeching fishwife scenes of MN, also directs these quieter, far more subtle ones.
What I never thought would happen ... SG also get locked inside college. Sam decides to cook for Gunjan.
Parts 3, 4 and 5 ...
part 3 - SG watching MN in library
Part 4 - SG walk, dinner
Part 5 - SG locked in

Lame
23rd Aug
ROFL episode ... only problem is, I was laughing at the episode rather than what was going on in it. Knew Nups would wriggle out of the TP thing, but in such a lame manner - obviously no one is thinking much about the track, it's all about recreating MN fights and falls. Maybe because CV's really have nothing more to offer for MN ...
Seemed that MSG were actually enjoying pulling RP's leg all through ... couldn't make out where the acting stopped and reality started. Especially when Sam calls her a fishwife, and Mayank makes a face as though to say -'she smells!'
Only silver lining ... SG have remembered that they are not lovey dovey teens again ... now after this Govinda movie is over, we might get back to a decent SG track. Till then, it's switch off brain and wait it out ... and ROFL at the stupidity.
