Generally there are 2 or three phases in a episode interspaced with ads . I will use the term Phase to denote this period of torture.

Phase 1 : 3:30 secs
Starts with sine curve dialogues. (Basically like sine curve which changes direction periodically, the character utters some dialogues and it hooks you on to thinking that he is with the general flow of the scene. Then he says totally orthogonal things so that you catch on to the new hook.)

Two or three dialogues and you wonder like other blokes whether hero is going to pull heroine's legs. But soon he utters the usual nonsense and SHS follows.

Phase 2 : 4:50 secs
Need to introduce a new sound term here which drags on for a minute before anybody decides to open
their mouth and speak something. (Will call this as SOS => Stretch overdramatic sound. Also SOS signifies the position we are in watching the episode and in dire need of rescue)

This scene should be a hit with ladies as the hero rips the temporary villain apart and uphold heroin's honor.
Looks like temporary villain(Sravi) might have a change of heart. Tearjerker music and shots of Sravi closing his eyes and wondering why the hell i agreed for this role.

Phase 3 : 7:30 secs 


SHS starts. Womenfolk in the serial supporting the heroine are shown grinning and wondering how good(bad) they are going to look when this scene will be shown.  Hero is in full swing now and blasting SRavi with usual nonsense. SRavi looks like giving up and wondering whether he has to continue acting.

My wife is not even responding to my request for coffee. Things are pretty serious now. Another lousy SHS dragging for 30 mins.

Now SRavi has had enough. Lots of generalization  dialogues and Sravi is showered with choicest of curses ranging being banished from house all the way up to milky-way galaxy for his mis/mess deeds.

SRavi has changed his heart as expected and agrees that he should have planned better. Still my wife is not even listening to my coffee request.

Another twist and SRavi agrees that he will take the blame for Hiroshima also.

Finally it is the time for dredd to speak and he goes overboard by telling everybody that couples should (not) be like the hero and heroine.

==================================================================

Two things that i observed watching this episode
1. The actual episode length is around 16 mins of the allotted 30 mins
2. Stretch sound really helps if you want to write a commentary of the episode during watching itself.
