I have been watching this week with bated breath of how my most loved character was bringing out the best shades of him. He was human, after all. He was mad at seeing Priya at the party not because he hated her presence, it was the drooling and in love BFF that was pissing him off. The frustration could only go upward with his wife unbelieving his words and blaming his thoughts to be sick and disgusting. While the worst cynic in me thought this was IT. He was going to bring out his ego and care a damn. Well.. That's what normal human beings do. But he is my hero. And rightly so, did he not get mad at her words but just frustrated at her not able to see the truth.
She was hurt by his words and anger took over. And the dance with her business partner was indeed hurting. He stood there in disbelief but took them on.
Making her jealous with a random person was the best he could come up with but his eyes failed to stay away from his love. I cheered and squealed he wasn't turning Devdas!

And then the drama began which was the purpose of Maha episode. The serial killer Anushka looking for her target which being a ME had to involve our characters too. So there goes our heroine to save her useless mom but ends up being trapped.
Due to Skyfall season in the air, we need some ACTION. Ofcourse our hero and the parallel hero(

The fittest

Our hero gives his trademark disbelief look at the timing of the parallel leads's speech.And on instant realization that the parallel lead is having his 15 seconds to fame and isn't going to be of any help, jumps to rescue his damn friend and damsel in distress.
A mini WWF with a serial killer and since the whole world was watching this in bated breath rather than helping him tackle the most petite lady in two shows, the pistol wins and our hero goes down after a fight.
As much as I thought this was going to be comical thanks to the reactions of haddi's and insensitive party goers, I bawled seeing the next sequence.
From a disbelief that he has been shot to shocked on seeing the blood, he slowly drops to the ground where he meets his love. The wife whom he was trying to protect comforts him on her lap while screaming for help. WIth the pain taking over, all he does is to try to hold her hand and utter something that he always wanted to say. When words fail, his smile on seeing her face before signing off shows he was in peace right where he stayed. That moment captured it all before he drops unconcnscious. He didn't have regrets but was content on lying on her lap breathing his last breath. TO me that was just epitome of love. But wait. HE had to beat that by asking for a promise from the same best friend to take care of his wife and kid incase he didn't survive.
The scene where he is shot and the after effects were just brilliantly done. Inspite of all of us knowing it was a gimmick for a TRP audience, the realistic portrayal was what got folks like me. Ram Kapoor the actor needs to take a bow for that. He was poised and not a second of OTT dramatics which made it as real as it get. Thank you!
But the man woke up to regular business on wanting to get back to custody case. The cute conversation with Vikram about not making him a hero was just done with unassuming attitude. The real dosti shone through bringing a smile on everybody's faces.
I loved how the flashback of the party came through and the reason of how such life changing instances end up teaching you value could have been done better with RKs own voice over instead of dubbed. Yikes. Didn't like that.
And the hospital waala love coming over. Maybe all the crankiness came about because he hadn't seen her yet. Because her presence brought out a glow on his face and s mile on his lips. He couldn't help but thank her for staying back. Something that meant more than what was said because it did mean the world to him. The concern for the rockstar of their lives and the confession that he wasn't helping her but saving his life instead was brilliant. IT was touching and the delivery of it in a very matter of fact was out of the world. On seeing her concern, his gentle touch of his hand on hers to provide assurance and then the removal of his hand to welcome our new haddi, well done. My other favorite was the day was the lecture waala line. This to me is the right mix of Golu and mild RB. He wanted her to stay but couldn't say it. She wanted to stay but couldn't assert her right. The beauty of it was both of them knew what the other wanted. The single eyelock bringing out how much it meant to be there and the transfer of love made the day special.
So thanks Ram for taking the bullet because one shot brought about the realization to everyone. Sometimes life does bring out challenges. And too, at times when we least expect it. But the test of love is then and true love brings out the winners. To me, my hero passed it in flying colors making me believe it isn't love if its not worth dying for. Thank you for re instating my faith in love and relationships
Welcome back and I just hope that all you said would be translated into action. Iam surely hoping you will!!
What a performance by ST today. She was fabulous. And expressions with her eyes nailing the emotions of PRK. Thank you!
