Ana ... thanks for the feed back dear 😊
It was a wholesome episode today... well balanced... each character had the time and space to grow.
1) Siya being remorseful at having to have lied to Gayatri and the other Singhs in the household was a much needed scene... Having to lie to someone who trusts you to the core can be heartwrenching... and that's what she was going through.
2) Raghav trying to lighten the burden of thoughts of Siya by his humor and the way it backfired was funny yet touching.
3) The fact that Raghav did not forget his friend in all these days was much needed... what with us all bothering about Sundar... Well they have been "ek hi thaali ke chatte batte" for long years...Raghav promising to avenge him just took this friendship a notch higher... Taking Siya along to see Sundar was justified because Siya really needs to know that there are people other than her who have suffered under Viraj and that Viraj has to be dealt with a foolproof plan and not in haste... It was needed to stop her from divulging the truth of their marriage (fake) to the Singh's.
4) Raghav and Siya's talk mentioning Dev was sort of a note that the CVs left out: "There a sub story in there and that we will get back to it later."... I liked the fact that Raghav did not not answer Siya's query right there... It would have moved the pivotal issue to be faced now... 'Fighting Viraj'... Somehow i get this feel that the day he narrates the horrific events related to Dev's death, Raghav will find a shoulder to lean on in Siya.
5) Liked the fact that the CVs showed... "Sometimes even The Feared (read Viraj) are engulfed with fear"... that's what a strong character like Gayatri can do to someone like Viraj... It was treat to watch him retreat.
6) When Raghav's friends refused to betray him even with death lingering, something struck me... Viraj may have forcefully earned respect (read fear)... But Raghav has earned relations that will be with him through thick and thin... I see Unniyaal at somepoint deserting his Prabhu but Raghav's friends are for him till their last breath.
7) The knife hold face-off depicted that Viraj was someone who always instills pain onto someone... Where as Raghav is someone who takes the pain head on, not letting any pain onto his dears ones or even the ones in need.
8) Loved the dialogues of Raghav and Sriti today... meaningful and effective... The mention of Geeta made it more hardhitting... Raghav somehow echoed what Siya told Viraj the day she slapped him across his face... And Siya's mention about her lost unborn child and that she wouldn't spend this nor any other life of hers with Viraj... that ultimatum was truly etched out perfectly... That was good enough for Raghav to smirk.
9) And then came the Bandaging scene... Kitne adse... kitne betting ke baad hui ye muraad puri... Wonderfully executed scene... Loved the "Bolti bandh when u glare" expressions of Raghav and Siya and the way he consoled her ... rather strengthened her... They cannot go weak now... no more emotional turmoil.
10) Komolika knows Viraj in and out... She know what would really destabilize him... even if its for a matter of sometime...She has been a strong and vital character... Glad that she hasn't been sidetracked and forgotten forever... and has been brought back now at this stage... That she is the one who suggested this marriage ( fake ) makes the current track slightly logical...because she knows what is needed for Viraj (he was her patient after all) ...and because it would have been out of character for Raghav and Siya to lie to the Singhs about the marriage... Raghav for one would never want to hurt his mother and the rest of the family with a lie and so wouldn't Siya.
11) The dialogue writers have come up with good one liner for all characters before and i applaud them for the same but of late the lines have been repeated n repeated n repeated... be it for any character.
Few other things that struck me were:
1) Siya in the scene after seeing Sundar... uttered that Viraj would go to any height to harm people... She said Viraj ne Humari family (she may have meant Raghav's and Her' too)...but her gesture with hands and the way she said it.. I felt she meant "HUMARI FAMILY"... I know i'm reading too much into it but kya karen khayaali pulav pakane ki aadat si ho gayi hai
2) I know its a sensitive issue and to a quite an extent Marital Rape isnt considered as Rape... But then at some point in the series i would really want them to voice out the issue of marital rape.
3) On a humorous note though,Viraj's scene (in his room) today ... i know the scene was serious... but just couldn't help laughing when i saw his bangs ... or to be more specific the lat ... moving according to his breath... they would once go towards his nostrils then back to where they belonged... it somehow continued all through the scene... now that had me 😆
