Virat is throwing a tantrum that because of his mother he has to accept the cartoons (Barkha) rule but he is not happy about it…….glad to see that that real Virat is atleast alive and kicking away to glory…and badi bahu in her imaginary world is also feeling that everything is under her control. Virat should have a discussion with Kanah that why on earth was he saddled with a mother like Maheshwari……..he should demand another set of parents than the ones he has been given, I mean the father is an escapist who enjoys life of luxury and mumbles mumbo jumbo as poetry…does not have to think about supporting his family from selling his poems… the mother is a sociopath whose head is too big for herself and whose main hobby is to dig holes and then comfortably to go and sit in it. Anyway she gets the letter that says dev babu…….now why will Radhika write a personal letter to her Kishankanhayeeya and write it to Dev babu….that shows a formal relationship. I mean the use of Dev babu……..and then the cartoon's mumbo jumbo follows……that Radhika has committed a crime for which there is no repentance and hence she is leaving this world………. and that her spirit will be happy if Dev marries the cartoon….yeh Radhika's spirit is so happy that it is crying away to glory……..
Anyway badi bahu rushes to give Dev this news that Radhika has kicked the bucket and that he will soon have to dance chiggy wiggy with the cartoon……….but when Dev opens the later…..it is addressed to Dev and not to Dev babu……………again this letter is not written by real Radhika ………..because then it will be addressed as Kishankanhayeeya…….. Radhika has never referred to Bholu as Dev…she has referred him as Dev babu in front of others, but never Dev…….so again hints that the writer is not the real Radhika. Anyway the letter says that Radhika will be back…..and then out of the blue mist……..slowly a figure emerges and walks towards the house…….with bright light on top of her head…serene smile on her face and shining eyes (very good portrayal of kanahs's essence here by Rubina)……Radhika/Kanha walks in…everyone is dumfounded……..Dev is shocked and does not know how to react…Rohan has tears………but Radhika is just standing and serenely looking at every one…….
Radhika with a smile on her face and twinkling eyes slowly walks up to Dev who is just staring at her with a sheen of tears in his eyes….as if he cannot believe who is standing in front of him …….and Radhika's eye are on his face…she does not pay attention to anyone else only Dev is now holding her attention………after looking at him for some time she slowly blinks her eyelids as if giving permission to Dev to start crying and a tears roll out from his eyes and falls down his cheek…….and then he takes a step forward and hugs her with a smile of relief and more tears rolling down. He closes his eyes to savor the moment that Radhika is back in his arms...Radhika/Kanha is smiling and enjoying the jhappi and then slowly she raises her hands and pats him ….I felt she was telling Dev…there there it is ok…..I am here na…I will take care of everything. Then Dev with pain in his voice asks her that where did she go………….and then gets angry that she left him and went away. I mean he did not say that but the way his expression changed and he turned away…that's what I got from him…….Bholu will show his bruised hurt and ego in anger at Radhika only..to others he will mainly ignorance and glaring in anger…….. Radhika /Kanha smiles and with gentle humor asks him that whether he has still not forgiven his Radhika …….. and again the cartoon pipes up that she is not Radhika and Radhika /Kanhas amused mocking starts………she actually mocks everyone in the episode………anyway Dev is staring in confusion….when the cartoon said that this is not Radhika ….and Radhika /Kanha…...turns and with a amused smile asks why because Radhika is dead na…oh the cartoon was going to throw a tantrum but stopped herself…now I am wondering…if Virat, Rohan and the cartoon all throw tantrum together who will win the competition…..oh I forgot add Padma, badi bahu and Dev too………..oh not Dev he won't do that openly but will do it in front of Radhika. Anyway so now the cartoon is in quandary and she checks Radhika's necklace and remembers what had happened…….. Radhika now like a very good friend rushes to the cartoon who promptly takes steps back and then Radhika /Kahah with a big smile on her face further mocks her best friend that no one can keep Radhika away from her husband …not even death…….then further mocks the cartoon by saying that today 12 years back Radhika got married to her KK………..ahh so KK is going to come back…..the KK who had disappeared ….and only Dev Purohit was present………so if she did not return now then KK would have completely gone and if the cartoon came close to Bholu then Dev Raj Purohit would only be left behind…..ok got that but still cannot understand that why can't kanha stop Bholu from saying yes to Barkha….I mean if this is a soul connection. Why did he have to come down to stop this?…Is Barkha some reincarnation of some demon that Kanha had to come down himself? Is Barkha bigger than the kauravs?…. never mind………Anyway Radhika further continues that you all did not read my letter………and the cartoon says to herself that she knows about the letter too…and Kanha/ Radhika further gives a big smile and says balike this is my letter so I will know about it……….Rohan finally decided to speak and show his brains ……..he tells Barkha that she is reacting as if she has seen a ghost…this is Radhika so why this behaviour…he thinks that she will be happy seeing her best friend..……uhho Rohan ……..don't do this………….arreh baba why do you want to do your thaye theye phuss in front of everyone…….and Radhika /kanha now gives another smile…….and drops another pearl that why we are happy and why we are sad…we should not let anyone know about it…and who knows this better than you………….and Rohan's balloon has lost all its air……….and then Radhika /Kanha aims at Virat…. response to his tantrum in the beginning of the show when he tells his mother that why did she choose to be the cartoons slave?….that Virat must also be happy maybe because he is also waiting for Radhika's arrival……..and then also smiles and prompts him…Virat nods oh yes and then has a confused look on his face……..Oh Radhika is still continuing her mockathon at the cartoon and tells her that she has fulfilled Radhika's share of responsibility…that to with utmost happiness……………..and Padma jumps in…….I think Padmu was feeling left out because she was not being mocked……..and Padmu bleats that Barkha became a martyr and she had to do everything and Radhika joins..oh yes.sad na….my husband had to fill his mang too……..and when asked by everyone..serenly smiles and says I was there…..to Dev's question that why didn't she come forward then, bholu gets mocked gently that she was waiting for him to calm down………Radhika/Kanha is pointing to Dev's anger and how he sometimes takes wrong steps under the influence of his bruised ego. Then she is off to say hi to dai and pats dais head that everything will be ok……..by the way Gopaldas declares that Radhika is behaving differently…so this guy has brains but does not use them………
Anyway Dev standing by himself and Radhika's mocking session of Dev begins……….she first says that I know you are in a tug of war between your RP dharam…….and your husband dharam………and then prods him to show his anger…….and Dev starts that he is angry at her actions, that she left the family and him like this (so family first and him last?...duty first and love last?)….and Radhika gives a big smile and gently chides him that RP should not become weak in front of his culprit like this……..how many culprits are there…the entire RP family plus the cartoon and Bholu always again and again bends down in front of their emotional manipulation………Dev says you were always right (but I don't think he has got what she is saying)……….and then Dev looks at her and says why did she behave like this? Radhika smiles and says oh maybe I took time to differentiate between right and wrong...and then gently mocks Dev that but he can differentiate between right and wrong…and then reminds him that his work is to be a RP……So a RP but judging between right and wrong? ……. Bholu continues that Radhika has done a big mistake in understanding the cartoon… Radhika gives a serene smile and says she knows (ofcourse the real Radhika knows the truth)……….and Bolu goes then why..and then starts his sermons that the cartoon has been wronged and until cartoon has not forgiven Radhika they will have to stay separately….by the way Radhika /kanha is just smiling away with twinkling eyes………and then at the end says ok maybe this is the right way………then she turns to where barkha and BB were overhearing their comments ………( the cartoon and bb must have ears of bats)…….and Radhika continues that people who have committed a crime should be punished…….where one has done a mistake there should be repentance……….bad should be punished and good rewarded and this is dharma……….now…..is this her answer to what the cartoon had written in the letter that Radhika has done wrong and for that there is no resentence…Isn't the cry of Radhika's soul her repentance……..so here kanha is saying for mistake there is repentance….but for evil and crime punishment………now Barkha has committed murder…that is not mistake….her ill doings are under crime…….but will there be repentance for her or punishment………what about Dev……….although he has a good heart and thinks that he is doing the right thing…….will his wrong doings be taken as crime or mistakes………and will or will not there be repentance for him…the main thing…will Barkha say sorry and everything be forgiven…….but isn't that injustice to Radhika?
What I liked……..
1) Very good portrayal of kanha by Rubina..she has managed to keep the essence of kanah…..twinkle in the eys, mischievous smile and gentle humour and mocking……..
2) Liked that the ehsas is missing between Dev and this Radhika ……..this is not the real Radhika so the ehsaas should not be there…..
3) Very good jugalbandhi between Avinash and Rubina……….. the shocked Dev..to relief……..being at peace…then hurt ego coming out as anger.
4) Liked Virat too in the beginning………
