Iviji a stadin-frikin ovation for this absolutely stunning post. Ovation is not enough actually. Wow thussi great ho. hggbai, you are the next. Absolutely loved your questions and analysis. I am just going to be the last bencher here hearing everything the toppers are asking and trying to understand some of the concepts. Thankfully I found this post, otherwise would have missed a masterpiece.
From a layman's eyes my first thought about the promo was a happy Pramad leading Kumud blindfolded to a room where the ambience is romance. She is confused but is ok to be led by him. I didn't feel she gave her hand for the kangan, he took her hand to place it on but the fact remains that she didn't resist. The size of the kangan for me denoted the power he had, the money is back with him I suppose. And like Arshi said, the way it was put on was like she was handcuffed. After putting the kangan he is still smiling at her but Kumud still doesn't look happy to me. She is actually dazed as to what is going on. If we see the promo till here we can see AK's direction, the romantic aspect of SC playing a trick on the audience to almost make us believe that Pramad has reformed.
Saras at his usual place outside the door, he was there in the last promo as well rightly denoting his place is still as a third person. His thoughts will make someone almost think ye haddi banke hamesha Kumud ki zindagi mein rahega kya. Pramad is reforming, they are having a romantic moment and why is he thinking that Pramad is cheating Kumud and not true love. We can almost think Saras doesn't want to see them together. But then the last shot leaves me with questions-- Does Pramad knows Navin is Saras or is he gloating that he now possesses Saraswathichandra's love ?
Pramad gloating "kisi aur ke pyaar ko paane ka mazaa hi kuch aur ho tha hai" states he is enjoying himself having the prize n his hand, taming of the shrew retold. He still is arrogant in his attitude, an attitude showing he is almost winning the battle he had almost lost, so does that include Kalika as well ? But the TRP factor for me in this scene was the million dollar question is still left blank..is Pramad reformed, will he reform or is he using Kumud to taunt Navin/Saras or his own bruises ?
Saras doesn't seem to care about what Pramad has achieved. He still doesn't believe Pramad PERIOD. Now it remains to be seen whether he will keep supporting Kumud or not ?
As per the current track it is Kumud's blind belief that Pramad can be changed gives the advantage for Pramad to make her fall in his trap that he is changing. The day her belief is broken she will be out of this loop. I think I got carried away with the promo, no technicalities in this...I am still a student there but this promo did catch my eye when I saw it and those questions my curiousity. So I have to say the new writers are doing their work absolutely well.
