Chandra Nandini 71-75: Turbulent Tides - Page 9

Aunty, after reading this post of yours I watched the episode, and I must say I am not much depressed after watching it, rather I can see a slight ray of hope, like a new moon night. I think that's because I think when Roopa has entered into the scenario and started action, she will not take much time to be caught.😛 Chandra has noticed the difference in nails between both, so we can expect him to act smart at least for once and redeem himself by catching the lookalike.😆 At least we are going to have something other than Chandra's meaningless shout and accusation on Nandini like an idiot.😡 I am hoping for the clash between Roopa and Aapama as u have pointed out, but I don't want Roopu to fall for Chandu. The poor chap will die now seeing the long line of deewanis behind him.😆

I watched Peshwa Bajirao yesterday. It was too good!😃 going to catch it up regularly.😳⭐️

HI AUNTY

WHAT AN AMAZING POST!!!!

AND TURBULENT TIDES IS SUCH A LOVELY TITLE. IT MORE OR LESS SUMS UP WHAT WE ARE FEELING AS VIEWERS TOO

I TOO FELT REALLY BAD FOR NANDINI WHEN CHANDRA' JUST LIKE THAT, BANISHED HIS WIFE FROM THE PALACE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. IT WAS QUITE FUNNY TO SEENANDINI WALKING OUT OF THE PAKACE ALL ALONE, SOBBING, AND NOBODY HAVING A CLUE. EVEN THE GUARDS DID NOT FLINCH WHEN SHE DID SO.

AND THAT DREAM SCENE WHILE NANDINI WAS RIDING THE BULLOCK CART, WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY PICTURISED. HAAYE 😳 I TOO LOVED IT. OF COURSE IT WAS CURIOUS TO SEE MALAY SAUNTERING THERE, ALMOST LIKE, HE HAD BEEN FOLLOWING HER, AND THEN, LATER, CHANDRA THERE 😆 LIKE EVERYONE KNEW WHERE SHE HAD GONE

I FEEL NANDINI SHOULD HAVE TOLD CHANDRA ABOUT THE STONE IN HER HAND AND MALAY'S ACTIONS. I KNOW HE WOULD NOT HAVE BELIEVED IT, BUT SOME PART OF THE CONFUSION COULD HAVE BEEN CLARIFIED.

AND THE SCENE WHERE SHE FALLS SUE TO PAIN AND EXHAUSTION WAS QUITE FUNNY. WHEN NANDINI CLEARLY KNOWS THAT CHANDRA IS HERE ONLY COZ DAADI HAD ASKED FOR HER, THEN WHY DOES SHE EXPECT THAT HE WILL GIVE HER INSIGHTS INTO HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT HER 😆

I REALLY ENJOYED THE VRAT EPISODE, RIGHT FROM THE PRE TEDDY BEAR SCENE 😆 TILL THE POST SHIVLING POOJA SCENE. THE BHAJAN WAS LOVELY AND BOTH CHANDRA AND NANDINI WERE SUPERB IN THEIR EXPRESSIONS AND ACTIONS. AND, LIKE YOU SAY, CHANDRA'S CONTROVERSIAL NON EXISTENT HRIDAY WAS THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE 😆

OF COURSE, RAJAT'S SUPERLATIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE END OF LAST WEEK WAS MIND BLOWING

ROOPS IS JUST PLAIN LUCKY THAT NOBODY ON THE PALACE HAS SPOTTED HER AND NANDINI TOGETHER 😆

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT WHEN YOU SAY THAT AS REGARDS CHANDRA, NANDINI IS IN LOVE, AND HENCE, HAS NO EGO. AND HE SEEMS TO BE TAKING A HUGE ADVANTAGE OF THIS. HE SPEWS WHATEVER COMES TO HIS MIND. RIGHT THAT WITH THE ROOPA MESS NOTHING IS CHANDRA'S FAULT, BUT POOR NANDINI GETS THE FLAK FOR NO FAULT OF HERS. IT IS QUITE EXHAUSTING FOR US VIEWERS, SPECIALLY COZ WE KNOW ABOUT ROOPA

OVERALL I THINK SHWETA HAS IMPROVED HER PERFORMANCE MANIFOLD. SPECIALLY IN SCENES WITH FEWER DIALOGUES AND MORE EXPRESSIONS, SHE REALLY SHINES, AND OTHERWISE, TOO, I FEEL HER PERFORMANCE IS SUBTLE, SOBER AND GOOD

RAJAT, OF COURSE, IS GREAT IN AMOST ALL HIS SCENES

THANKS FOR A BRILLIANT ANALYSIS, AUNTY

Hi Aunty,

That was a beautiful deduction or rather a much needed detailed synopsis swirling all the incidents last week.

Commenting on the post would be disrespectful and I doubt any would be needed because each possible emotion you have reasoned with.

*Saluting you - as no appropriate such emoticon is here*👏

Apprehension is a common dilemma when expectations are high (I am assuming it is as I have seen a lot of frustration with the current track). Undoubtedly, as long as your weekly posts are incoming I'll be delighted and I'm an expectant being an avid reader.

Finally, thank you!

P.S. - The comparison of Nandini's character with Agatha Christie's creations was the melted chocolate burst in the middle of a choco lava cake!😛 (Horrible simile but I'm a foodie)

REGARDING YESTERDAY'S EPISODE, WHAT IS THERE TO SAY

THE BIG SECRET BETWEEN NAND AND SUNANDA IS QUITE INTRIGUING, COZ I DONT THINK IT IS ROOPA 😆

I FEEL ROOPA IS PROBABLY NANDINI'S TWIN WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY BY SUNANDA AND FED CRAP ABOUT HOW NAND AND THE OTHER ABANDONED HER. MAY BE THAT IS WHY SHE HATES NANDINI SO. MAY BE SHE IS SUNANDA'S TRUMP CARD AGAINST NAND AND THE REST. BECAUSE, IF SUNANDA WAS USING ROOPA TO KILL CHANDRA THEN SHE WOULD GET ALL LOVEY DOVEY WITH HIM. BUT HERE, SHE IS WOOING MALAY 😆

BUT SHWETA IS ABLE TO BRING OUT A STARK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AND THAT, I FEEL, IS QUITE COMMENDABLE

PRECAP WAS HILARIOUS 😆 CHANDRA BREAKS INTO A SMILE WITH THE CONFESSION, BUT, ALAS, IT IS FOR MALAY 😆

TILL LAST WEEK NANDINI WAS AT THE RECEIVING END OF TOO MUCH CRAP FROM CHANDRA, BUT NOW ROOPA IS GIVING IT BACK TO HIM, WITH INTEREST 😆

CHANDRA NOTICED THE NAILS 😆 AND ALSO NOTICED THEM CUT IN THE SCENE WITH MALAY. SOME ZOOM VISION 😆

EVEN THOUGH MOST OF ROOPA'S SCENES ARE IN BAD TASTE, I THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FUN WATCHING 😆 BUT I DO HOPE THEY HURRY UP

Aunty, I have to say at the outset that several portions of the post were very moving. I had to struggle not to paste entire sections here. I've highlighted the portions and lines that tugged exceptionally hard at the heartstrings.

Your amazing introduction took me to the beach, and then made me scurry for cover😆. What a lovely way to showcase the sentiments of a viewer.

The Nandini: What love can do' section was so touching that my heart 🥺 The description of the character's battered mental state, lack of ego, undying hope and deep heartache was stirring.

...his good wishes in the corridor scene with impeccable dignity, and if she weeps her heart out in misery, it is not till he has left. Perhaps her mantra about prem making one strong enough to bear any suffering is also true, for she now has the ability to wrap her misery in emotional resilience when she is not alone.

Vivah vicched in 4^th century BC? The dialogue writer's buddhi must have opted for a vicched from her/him😆

...that he cares for her and is proud that she is his wife, the look in Nandini's eyes is inimitable - half shock, half resentful hope. No matter how bleak the circumstances, her hope never quite dies.

...like a permanent, poisonous, lacerating burr under Chandra's skin.

As I had noted in my last post, there is something in Nandini's make up which makes her snap at a point when she can take no more of humiliation, and just wants out, even if this is by falsely incriminating herself in order to put and end to this torture. It is stupid, and she shortchanges herself to no purpose, but that is just the way she is. Very perceptive lines⭐️ Agatha Christie - another one of my favourites. I remember the character of Audrey in Towards Zero. That was a great story. My favourite among her books is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.'

..Chandra has already flagellated himself to bleeding point, and every fibre of his being is raw and lacerated by the pain of betrayal...

There is a total, almost unblinking absorption when he gazes at her face, as if drinking in every minute change of expression, every shade of emotion. Her initial hesitation...to... when he has turned away.

Who fights at his side against his enemies, who cradles his head in her lap as she struggles to save his ebbing life, who touches his wound with gentle possessiveness as she begins to explain the beneficent properties of peedha.

The infinitely gentle care with which he does it, and the exchange of nods between them when the mud is gone - questioning on hers and vigorously reassuring on his - were so delightful ki hamara to hriday prasanna ho gaya! Aapke descriptions se hamara hriday bhi prassana ho jaata hain 😃

...the magic that had pervaded his whole being for this interlude of enchantment seeps away in an instant.

Your take on the piece de resistance in the episode is a piece de resistance in itself. Kitni khoobsurti se likha hain aapne..⭐️👏👏

It is not the laughter of mirth, anything but. It is the laughter that comes of distilled bitterness that can find no other outlet.

...she is naturally afraid that he will deride and mock such a confession as well, and this something she cannot bear, to have her most tender, secret sentiments thus defiled.

In an outburst of feminine anger at the perennial discrimination against women, always held to higher standards of morality than men, she gives him yet another opening to accuse her of wanting to be polyandrous.

..is watching her with deep set eyes that are pools of lambent, suppressed rage and disbelief. Looking at those narrowed eyes in a hard, rock-like face, one senses that something is going to explode very soon.

Were my love to swear that she was made of truth,

I would believe her, though I knew she lied.

Wow...wow... These lines are so 💔❤️💔❤️ 💔❤️

Chandra is too angry, more with himself than even with her, to be given pause. So he goes on, and the words that tumble out, almost involuntarily, against his own will, are as if they have been torn out of his innermost being, and soaked in the bitter anguish that pervades his whole soul.

Nor even, he adds - when she latches on these points and seeks the real reason for his hatred - most unwisely, effectively sabotaging his key rationale, because she loves Malayketu.

...he has been pushed into the corner with no way out, and Nandini, barely an arm's length away, is hanging on his every word. There is a battle on within Chandra, a battle between his heart and his mind. In the end, the mind wins, but not before his heart makes three unsuccessful attempts to prevail.

His whole face , his eyes, his mouth, all work in a struggle to control his emotions, and not to expose the weakest chink in his makeup to this faithless Jezebel, as he sees her. In the end, he refuses to answer her desperate query, and effectively walks away, from himself and from her.

Beautiful, beautiful post, aunty 👏👏👏

Abhi I have to run off for some work and I think I'll be tied up till night :/ You've put a mini post too, hain na? I will read and comment on it tomorrow for sure! :D 🤗
