Don’t get me wrong but I really don’t like it when the makers show Nawab turning to alcohol whenever he’s emotionally overwhelmed. Especially because Heer’s father’s alcoholism has been such a major source of trauma for her. I know Nawab is nothing like Ajit and I’m not comparing the two but that’s precisely why I wish the writers wouldn’t take his character down this route.

We’ve already had a track where Nawab relied on alcohol to cope with his emotions so why bring it back? At this point, it almost feels like the makers are establishing a pattern where every time Nawab faces emotional turmoil, his response is to drink.

And honestly, I don’t find that romantic or particularly appealing. I understand that he’s hurting, and I’m not expecting him to handle everything perfectly but surely there are other ways to portray his heartbreak and vulnerability without repeatedly making alcohol his coping mechanism? Especially given Heer’s history, I really wish the writers would be more thoughtful about this.

if Gerua sequence will be a dream ...it should be of Heer only

Bhai iss manali trip pe heer ka confession dedo, Nawab ko special feel karwao

I'll be the happiest one when I get Heer's clear feelings for Nawab, when she'll prioritise him over everyone

Bhai I've so much hope from this Manali trip...bas

After today’s episode and the introduction of Julie, the girl working at the hotel, I have a strong feeling that Heer’s trauma is connected to something much darker than we know. 👀

My theory is that Heer may have been sold to a brothel, possibly by her own father, and somehow ended up in jail afterward. I definitely think her father has a hand in whatever happened to her, and there’s more to his involvement than what we’ve been shown so far.

Could Julie be the missing piece that connects everything to Heer’s past? The way the story is unfolding makes me wonder if we’re finally getting closer to uncovering the truth behind Heer’s trauma.

What do you all think? Am I onto something, or do you have a completely different theory? 🤔

Today's scene of Nawab buzzo was rushed but it reminded me of the thailawati track where we got Nawab's pov and monologues through his conversations with buzzo . I miss their friendship so much . He loves Nawab and has always supported him through thick and thin and also gave him reality checks when needed . The team should utilise the og cast instead of newbies so the audience can connect better . Also Abhishek is a decent actor. I would love some koyal buzo scenes too

I love how her baby voice comes out whenever she's with him 🥹

Heeriye pighal jao yaar kitna cutu compliment tha 😭😭

Thanks again to this team and ch for this outdoor shoot. The locations are so so beautiful. The camera angles have improved and the drone shots are awesome. Kudos to the entire cast and crew for their hardwork The background without the green screens elevates the scenes . Nice change from the hospital, police station,cpu etc . I found the hotel most beautiful. Maybe we will have the bonfire scenes at the hotel 🤞

Hopefully this Manali track fetches them top online trps so we can keep getting outdoor shoots . The story is again going downhill we should at least enjoy the view.

Can we please get more than 6 eps in manali ? Rave posted video today, everyone is back in Chandigarh 🥲

Isn't Nawab in current track giving Kabir Singh vibes?

Alcoholic,over possesive, aggressive etc..

No hate just an opinion

Same same different different 💙🤏

The sheer parallels 🤪

The pull, closeness, that sheer passion in Nawab's eyes, and doe eyes of Heer lost in the intensity, the raw chemistry and yearing peaked here

The craziness, intoxicated husky voice of him levelled up.

Loved this scene too much ❤‍🩹

Pehle hi aadhe nashe mein hai upar se yeh sab 🤧

Mera bhondu bacha 🤏

I genuinely don't understand what goes inside his head atp 🤧

I understand Heer’s nonchalant behaviour towards nawab, vo sab samajh mein aata h. What I don’t get is her extreme rudeness with him infront of others. It almost feels like cruelty. She used to do the same in past as well. Whenever something used happen between Heer and nawab, she used to go straight to Arjun and used to back bitch about nawab. And she used to say a lot of mean things from commenting on his cricketing career, to his morals, to what not.

She’s doing the same right now as well. Pehle khud she bad mouths nawab in front of everyone, then when others say the same thing, she acts shocked. Like, I don’t get it. She has gone below the belt a lot of times while speaking of nawab.

man I'm just tired of seeing the same things in a recycled way

I find all these jealousy monotonous and boring

Locations badal gye hai but the story is still same ...

Heer's character needs to be developed, her actions are out of my mind... I'm trying to find her pov in the whole episode and get none

She's unnecessary harsh towards Nawab..that boy is still fighting and doesn't deserve this much pain and suffering

I think we audience are at fault here because we absolutely love and enjoy Nawab's Junooniyat and his pain but atp his Junooniyat even looked shallow to me ... there's no point of showing unnecessary characters between Heewab

ok it's a fiction but I'm seriously worried for Nawab's mental health...this boy has left his cricket, his dreams and everything that made him happy for his love and got nothing in return

It is beyond irritating, how much they break into a dance and song, considering that they are a drama. Like how many times are you going to dance? Why dance in every episode. Please the writers should get more pay so they can write more scenes. Maybe fire the choreographers. Is this a specialty of the production house?

Nawab and I are the same right now.

We are both running on scraps. Me on scraps of time and the remainder of my functioning brain cells. Him on scraps of Heer's love (thanks for this line u/NilanjanaChowdhury), and his broken self.

Because I get Nawab is being unhinged. And irrational. And acting like a crazy, jealous, possessive guy, who would otherwise not only be difficult, but problemetic to root for.

But pain and fear make you do crazy things.

They sap you off of everything good inside you. Make you do things that, in normal circumstances, you would not even think of doing. Turn you into a completely different person, who is just plain unpleasant to deal with. Who you feel no empathy for.

Nawab is turning into someone like that because he is in unimaginable pain. I understand him. And relate to him. A lot more than I want to.

He has absolutely nothing going for him. Nothing. The girl he loves claims to hate him. Has pushed him away in the most brutal and humiliating way possible. And yet he is holding on. Because his heart refuses to give up. On their love. And her.

But holding on isn't easy. It takes a toll on you. And that's why he's at his most unhinged. He doesn't know whether to love her or hate her, feel bad for her or blame her for everything that is happening to him.

Which is why, I feel, one good thing from yesterday's episode was the reveal that whatever happened to Heer, was because of Nawab. Because he now at least knows why Heer is hiding the truth from him. Because maybe, again, she is trying to protect him. There's no way of being sure of that. But Nawab isn't rational right now (he isn't most of the times anyway). So he's just scrapping his way out of this hellhole with whatever is being thrown at him and just making do with it. Exactly how much and for how long can he do this just because his heart is telling him to, remains to be seen.

Heer is turning into someone like that too.

And I get her for the same reasons. She is alone. And afraid. And just not rational. She's clearly not in a good state mentally, and is barely surviving at this point. What I don't get (and this stupid writing choice), is her harsh treatment of Nawab. What exactly has he done to deserve being treated like this from her, even though she knows that her 'act' in court and even right now has zero conviction and credibility? She can worry about Nawab when he is not around. But not when he is right in front of her, unless he is actively hurting himself?

I get this is a build up. I also get this writing choice is meant to push Nawab to his limits. But it's repetitive and exhausting and I am hoping and praying there is a point to this because I don't want to have this naggy, unpleasant feeling while watching episodes otherwise filled with such breathtaking beauty all around.

Nawab has done more than enough. He has taken the 6 pheras for both of them. He's taken all leaps of faith to try to break the walls between them and around her. He has done whatever it takes so their relationship can survive.

It's Heer's turn now. She needs to make Nawab feel all the love that she still harbors for him but is just not ready to show it. She needs to treat him with the same care and understanding that he's done so far. Crazy, unhinged, broken understanding but nevertheless out of pure love. He deserves that. She needs to take a leap of faith too. It's not an overnight thing. It'll take time. But my patience is wearing thin. And so is Nawab's. And we both need some respite from all this.

It takes an extraordinary ability for a character to annoy you, even when you're scrolling past their scenes. But that's the effect Fateh's scenes have on me and it's getting worse with every episode. Every scene with Heer is totally unnecessary because you don't need jealousy to throw Nawab into unhinged territory right now. He is already there. He's just sinking deeper because of all this and it's absolutely unpleasant to watch.

I do think (hope) all of this has a point. I just can't wait to reach there.

And you guys will understand what I mean, when I'll post the clips, because those isolated clips will give a different perception compared to the whole episode....

Today's episode is like having the right ingredients, getting some recipe steps right, still the end result is just edible.

Not too bad, not too good, just kind of inbetween EDIBLE...

You got the spices right, but it's still bland iykyk....

I actually wanted to share this before the Manali track started - but sooner than later - based on my understanding, here's what to expect (or not) from the this track.

This is janhit mai jaari so that we can (hopefully) enjoy what we are served and don't crash out on what they undercook (because they will).

Magic: If these two episodes and the promo are anything to go by, watch the track for a) Heewab's beautiful performance and chemistry; b) Much-needed progress in storyline; c) Amazing direction and cinematography; and d) favourite Bollywood songs and OSTs in a picturesque, aesthetic landscape.

Myth: Manali track will change everything. Don't expect the track to compensate for the flawed, repetitive writing or expect dialogues with depth or no screen space for newbies or criminal villians. Only thing I expect is no ragebait during these episodes and if they reveal Heer's trauma, they do it with sensitivity.

We may get a reveal of trauma and Gulab's scheming eventually, a soulful (re)union, but let's take it by the episode. Even if they show some insightful dialogues, I'm not expecting it to continue post Manali.

I feel whoever has stuck around this show despite it's very glaring flaws deserves to enjoy this track wholeheartedly. To watch an outdoor shoot (instead of the police station - hospital repeat), witness raw, real conversations between Heewab, and all romantic tropes between the leads. It's just closure. Hoping for the best 🤞🏽

I absolutely their nok jhok. But that scene just before they found the bag and that nok jhok felt so out of place. That whole bee talk and nawab calling heer his life’s honey and all????!!! Wasn’t heer trying to push him away why make her have this banter with him in her baby voice???

And we need to stop repeating the jealous vibes in literally every other scene. They need to space it out well so there isn’t too much of both in the same ep.

I liked the ep or maybe it’s just the vibe of new scenery. Some scenes that i liked:

* That jacket scene in the jungle and the way nawab pulled heer close by that jacket and especially that head grab . So so so hot!!! (How am i supposed to get this visual out of my head)

* Heer pulling nawab by his jacket and his face. He loves it when she does that.

*”Gadhe kabse sher ki awaaz nikalne lage”

* Calling heer fateh’s bhabhi. So unhinged. I love whatever is wrong with nawab.

* The bag throwing in anger. (Nawab hulk hai kya itna dur kaise pheka bag)

*Raza looking so so hot in every frame.

Some scenes that felt so unnecessary :

*newbies scenes
* Fateh trying too hard.
* Fateh and heer falling on the bed. Absolutely unnecessary. (Nawab walking towards them was giving me so much anxiety)
* Heer sudden dance sequence on patakha guddi. Jass was looking so cute but it was so cringe.
* their nok jhok and that bee talk and then fateh’s entry.

It was an okay ep. I am liking the visuals. The shots and everything especially nawab walking in the corridor towards heer’s room that was shot well. And i love love love jealous nawab but we need more that jealousy.

Okay, now that I've calmed down a bit and thought about the scene a little more, I actually think the jungle scene works really well. And this is coming from someone who initially disliked it.

Disclaimer: I haven't rewatched the scene or episode, so I'm going entirely by my first viewing.

Honestly, the scene works surprisingly well, especially the jacket scene, the pulls, the intense eye contact, and the expressions. The banter is very HeeWab coded, and underneath all the teasing, there's clearly a lot of emotion.

We know how it begins Nawab throwing Heer's suitcase away in jealousy after seeing 🎸 hold her hand. Heer goes looking for it, and Nawab follows her into the jungle, making lion like growling noises to scare/tease her and when she realises it's him, she calls him a gadha and we get their usual banter.

Then he notices that she's shivering and offers her his jacket. She refuses and throws it back at him, so he gives it to her again. When she tries to refuse a second time, he pulls her closer, and THAT MOMENT??

The intense looks, his expressions, her teary doe eyes, the way he's looking at her and asking her what's wrong… IT WORKS. There's so much unsaid emotion in that moment. Especially when he tells her she's not happy and she insists that she is.

And that's where my problem begins.

AND THIS IS WHERE IT GOES DOWN THE DRAIN.....

I enjoy Nach Baliye moments, I genuinely do they are fillers but still cute fluff and I enjoyed yesterday's dance a lot.

But here, the dance felt so out of place that it completely broke the emotional flow of the scene for me. I genuinely didn't understand what the purpose of that sequence was.

Heer was literally on the verge of tears a moment ago. Nawab had pulled her closer, was looking at her intensely, and was trying to understand what was going on with her. She was looking at him with those teary eyes, and the scene had built up this lovely tension between them.

And then suddenly she's dancing???

The transition felt so jarring. It took me out of the moment completely, and I think that's actually why I initially disliked the entire jungle scene. I was reacting to how the dance sequence disrupted the scene rather than to the scene itself.

Because, on second thought everything till the jacket scene was actually good. And even after the dance, the scene gets back on track with their banter about whether Heer is actually happy and what's really going on with her.

Personally, I think the scene would've worked much better if Heer had simply insisted, a little more assertively and almost aggressively that she was happy.

She could've handed Nawab his jacket back and walked away, just as she does in the actual scene, without the dance sequence.

Imagine her insisting that she's happy while she's clearly struggling to hold herself together, and then walking away before Nawab can get anything more out of her.

That would've preserved the tension and the emotion of the moment while showing how desperately she's trying to convince both him and herself that she's fine.

Sometimes less is more especially when the actors are already conveying so much through their expressions and body language.

And then there's 🎸 , his presence in the scene still doesn't make much sense to me at all. His appearance interrupts the HeeWab bubble a little, but that's a separate issue.

Overall, I don't think the jungle scene is bad at all I think it has some genuinely lovely HeeWab moments.

It's just that the sudden Patakha Guddi sequence felt unnecessary and took away from what was otherwise a pretty good scene.

And that clouded my judgement for the whole episode, so much so I felt it was entirely skippable and nothing burger which it's not.

Because we were finally introduced to a new character from Heer's past and who for once wasn't a villain.

Anyway, these are just my thoughts after letting it set in...

What you guys think ? Did you enjoy the dance sequence, or did it break the emotional flow for you as well and took you out of the loop too....

so todays ep was kinda filler and i expected it lol bcs they have more intense and yk NICEEE eps coming up so they had to put the filler on

but i feel like the filler wasnt that bad, ppl like nawabs junooniyat somuch, thats why they use it as jealousy . which feels like the same recycled track.. , the nok jhok was cute just the DANCE WAS SO OUT OF NOWHERE IT CAUGHT ME OFF GAURD, instead of it being cute it felt funny to me lol , but honestly thats so heer. when she wants to get some shi done she will adapt the weirdest ways nd they r so funny. but guys the FATEH HEER SHIT is too much, its like the photoshoot eps where they made heer call arjun like a thousand times and sm ppl CA heer bcs of that..PERSONALLY WHILE WATCHING THE EP I FORWARD all of this, but ofc in posts , x , reddit, we have to crashout about fatehheeer so they know not to go ahead w this BS they r trying to put out.

but the frames. are so beautiful. it does justice to the beauty razmeet are.

WE ARE IN FOR A RIDE SO HOLD ONNNNNN
