Ok.. so I made many posts today stating my disappointment with the episode after reading the update. Well, I have finally watched the episode and I am sorry as much as sur gives such detailed updates it is not the same as watching the actual episode. After watching the episode I actually feel this episode was awesome. Not as disappointing as I made it sound.
Vidya's speech was awesome. Her translations back and forth between english and hindi was well executed. Her dialogues were such heart wrenching.. I was actually crying the whole time with her. She was basically pouring her heart out in front of the whole world announcing how much she loves him. In the entire scene even with her english sentences you could feel the innocence. She finally spoke up and proved to Sagar the extent to which she loves him.
The song sequence... I do not feel that it was placed unappropriately. It was actually very fitting. I had never heard the whole song but the lyrics of the song perfectly suited the scene. The part in the song where it goes "I'll take away all your tears" and he is wiping her tears of and then he holds her hand when he is singing "I'll give you all the happiness in the world." It was so perfect. I don't know if the dance part was needed but the placement of the song was very nice. I actually liked it after watching the episode and it did not really seem that sudden after all.
When Sagar apologizes to Vidya, he actually says he is sorry about everything and the fact that he should have trusted her long time back. I now understand Vidya accepting his apologies and hugging him. It would be out of Vidya's character to not have a big heart to forgive him. She just said she loves him and would do anything so forgiving him is the natural thing for her to do because even after being "literate" she is still the same Vidya who finds it in her heart to forgive. Sagar did look really guilty though and I am sure we will see some sequence where he does stuff to make up for all the pain he gave her.
Also, Sagar has still not said ILU so we know he is still taking his time. He only said he realizes how much she loves him. Asking Buaji for her also makes sense now. He did not really ask her for Vidya. He told Vidya that he is saying in front of everyone that he wants her. In other words he was telling her "I want you." Kinda cute IMO.
Overall, after watching the episode my thoughts have changed and I now think this is one of the best episodes we have had in a while. The best part about the episode was Part1: Vidya speaking, Part2: Dance, Part3: Sagar speaking. No one else spoke during the whole episode and I loved watching Sindoora's shocked expressions...
Ok I think I have blabbered enough now. Just wanted to share my thoughts with you all. Hope I havent bored you guys.
