Hey Shama...
I am back. After a week long siesta... God, I have missed so many episodes, and so much, but most of all missed u guys and our long discussions/analysis on the small and the very small deets of the DEK. But then, that is the way of the dreaded EXAMS..! They pull you away from all that you like. And especially when the exams are in Bangalore and you live in Mumbai, you really dont have a choice but to forego your obsession for those few days. Ah, what one does for success... Sigh. Heard about your laptop - so, so sorry that your mom took it away. Please tell her that we miss you and your laptop so damn much. What are we going to do without you to discuss and then to show us the ray of light when everything in the DEK appears bleak and dull, (which it soon shall knowing DEK)?
Coming to the ITA awards - Ashish didnt win - Sigh...! I really hoped that he would, because he truly deserves it. Well, if they would have given it based on the acting skills then ofcourse he would have, but this award is based on the popularity of the person, not on the acting skills and EHMMBH is way more popular coz it shows the same old run of the mill story line, so I am not really worried. I mean, no offense to kushal coz he is a great actor, but its easy to portray a guy that is always good... But, to portray a grey- shaded character like UV and to get all the subtle nuances in that character right and to make the audience like him so much - now that's a CHALLENGE! And i truly think that no-one, absolutely NO-ONE could have done it a s brilliantly as Ashish does, so I dont really care for the awards. Hopefuly someone will recognize the talent that they have in him and offer him many, many more roles. You know what i would love Shama, I would love to see him again in a grey, charismatic role, but this time as the main character, like how Priyal gor is for DEK. That would make my day - no my current life! he he..😆
Now coming to the Epi -
The first scene between UV and M was just a little meh.. for me, mainly bec i didnt exactly get what the scene was all about. I mean, I usually get UV's character very well, even when he isnt making much sense, but in this scene I just felt that the writers got a little confused about where they were heading. It looked and felt a bit choppy to me. Like I didnt get why UV is planning all these romantic things for M after what happened in the last few days? She basically told him that theirs is a marriage-contract and he is shown to be absolutely spiffing mad in the previous epi's, so what changed in this epi? I was expecting smart, satircal comments from UV, instead what I got to see was his love and her hate. It feels as if we have gone back a coouple of episodes again. Truly, the writers of DEK confuse me. I almost thought that they were taking the track towards showing that M and UV both hate each other but then something happens and UV cannot see M in pain so he decides to help her out and M realises somethings herself and then tries to win UV over - thats why they showed such a bad behaviour in UV the last couple of epi's, but again we are back to square one - with UV trying to win M over with his charms and M royally neglecting them. Anyhoo, I am not going to comment. Reserved for future epi's because i am sure we will again get something that will totally blow our minds.
Okay so M goes in search of J and then finds that J is not there and she had a fight with a tall guy and then left with him and immedietely her mind jumps to UV? Interesting, isnt it??? Really M, all u can think of night and day is UV, UV, UV and if that isnt a dead give- away i really dont know what is. Its like her mind has a block where he is concerned, its stuck on him so damn much. Whether it is in hatred or denial or friendship or love or just as a stranger when he first came into her orbit by literally pulling her into his - he is all that she can think of. Wow..! Hate him for all i care - but deep down everyone knows that she still loves him.
Now this scene between UV and M - i really loved. Much much better, and truer than the previous one. The way UV was leaning on the wall waiting for M was HOT. And there was so much concern in his eyes, much more than anger, you could clearly see that he was worried for her. And then when she came and accused him, i just loved the way he said - shut up, just shut up. He told her that he wasnt responsible but themn M is one stubborn fool, she didnt accept. Instead, she told him that she had forgotten for a moment that this is a contract marraige and she should behave thus. Seems to me like M has found a new plank to hide her feelings behind - the contract. Now she doesnt want to hide her feelings behind hatred, she wants to hide it behind the contract. Sigh...! God, UV was so damn hurt when she said that - oh dear, i felt so sad for him at that moment - but then he kinda deserved it when he threatened her and her family with that line of - 'tum bhool rahi ho ki main tumhare aur tumhare parivaar ke saath kya, kya kar sakta hun..' and all that. Although we know he could never hurt her, he really should learn how to express his love and concern in a better way. Sigh..! Love those two, but i could literally smack those two on the heads! Literally!!
VB is back with his words of wisdom - need i say more? I love how he says that he doesnt see any good or bad, he still just sees conflict in M's eyes. She still wants to force herself to hate UV because that seems to be the easiest way for her. She just cant accept her love for him, because if she does, she would have to accept all of UV's faults along with his good deeds, and for M, being how principled she is, she cant just accept that she fell in love with a killer. Love, Love VB - for pointing that out. Also, did it strike anyone that for M akash is all but dead and gone. She said so herself, that she had long since just thrown away that part of her life and there was absolutely no pain in her eyes when she said that. It was more like acceptance. That strikes me as very, very odd for a girl who has lost her one true love. I mean, the very name of his should bring kind of an unimaginable pain, but all she felt was sympathy for his family and loss for what could have been. Ummm... if you ask me, that is NOT love. Ofcourse, more on that later. Also, what i gather from this convo is that M absolutely WANTS to believe that UV is the very spawn of evil. She wants to belive that UV is the worst imaginable person in the whole world, and that kind of extreme reactions in a person are only elicitable if there is a lot of love in the first place. So i am going to wait for M to realise that and then enjoy her turmoil when she does. Ahhh - how awsome that would be to see. For once M running behind UV to get his love.
J... J... J...
It seems that most of my para's regarding her in most of my posts start like that. But what can i do...? she makes it so, so easy. Now look what she has gotten herself into. I feel like laughing really at this poor, poor girl. She is such a foolhardy child. She always gets into trouble with her own plans and her plans ALWAYS, always backfire. Now she has gotten herself kidnapped? Brialliant girl! 👏👏👏 Okay, this Aryan dude - waccckkkooo! psycho alert everyone. I guess when he fell down the cliff, he did fall on his head because all his marbles seem to have been re-arranged and the result is THIS, right here, what we all have in the form of a maroon jacketed moron, right in front of our eyes. If M thinks UV is the spawn of the devil, then she should see this guy. He makes Lucifer look tame... sorry for the blasphemy. Anyways, now we know for sure that he is evil, I can breathe easy. Although Shama, if truth be told, a part of me was hoping that when Akash comes back, he would come as the good guy and then M would go back to him and inspite of that she would realise that what she misses and loves in UV. I wanted UV to win fair and sqaure. But i'll take this too. 😃
I agree with u shama, Jagad does look very, very fishy. But DEK is known to change in the blink of an eye and so i am going to reserve judgement on that later. What I am worried about is the total absence of DS. I have a feeling that DS has something huge up her sleeve and I also have a feeling that UV and DS are together in all this. I somehow have a feeling that just when M is about to run off to Akash, DS will make her presence known or even maybe after that. I have a feeling that when A acusses UV of killing him, and UV is completely and truly cornered, thats when DS will make her presence known. But its just a gut feeling that I have.
The next scene was my absolute favourite and you said it all. UV and M - love how UV's eyes soften and he melts when he realises that M thinks he hates her. Beacsue seriously, M doesnt realise taht whatever she does uV will always only, and only love her. And he says that they make a good team and when they come together they will see that they can do anything. another foreshadowung from UV. I think first they will get together to save J and then when M realsies that A is evil, they will get together to save their combined estates from A. This scene truly rocked, because M too realisesd that she does feel a lot for this guy and she too softened towards him. And see shama, even when M came to know that UV was faultless in this and she thought that J was teh true culprit, she still took out her anger on UV and UV only, the way she walked away from him. That means he is the only one she feels comfortable in displaying such extreme emotions to. Will the girl realise already? But no, she has to be stubborn about it, sigh...!
Loved your analysis Sham, as usual. But please will you try again to get your laptop? I miss you, girl...! DEK isnt the same without you.
Lots of love and hugs,
Shal. 😊
