I am writing a brief analysis of today's episode. I couldn't resist my self, especially after watching the heart wrenching AR scene in the bb court
If anyone has missed last few months of DMG, then they should watch this episode as it clearly depicts the state of mind of all three main characters:
Riddhima: still torn between the two men. Even though she has made the decision to move on with her husband, why does she keep reminding herself that Armaan is her past? Why does she keep saying I need to forget him? Why was she reluctant to part ways with Armaan in the bb court? Why did she silently agree to his proposal of being together in next 6 janams? Why did she place her hand on his hand to reassure him of this proposal? Why did she look back as she parted ways with him? Why did she keep thinking about her meeting with Armaan even when she has moved on and supposedly fallen in love with Sid?
I think, as she had said in one of the promos- ek nayi koshish- all her attempts at coming close to Sid are her nayi koshish. If this effort was heartfelt, it wouldn't be a koshish but a bond that would have pulled her to Sid effortlessly...why is it a koshish Riddhima?
In my eyes, by accepting that its going to be really hard to forget Armaan, and her silent admission of her love for Armaan, Riddhima has redeemed herself to large extent. The only thing I cannot still explain is the talli scene where she said Sid had taught her the real meaning of love- I am still confused Cvs....why did they write that dialogue when her eyes and thoughts contradict those words spoken in half stupor?
Armaan: Armaan has been very quiet throughout the last three episodes. He has shed silent tears, swallowed painful tears, averted his pain stricken eyes from Riddhima, but has still not wavered from his love for her. Today, when he said "I promise that I'll try to forget you" broke my heart into pieces as I m sure it did Ridz's. Both Ridz and we know, thet Armaan can and will never forget Riddhima. He might pretend to move on, just to lessen her guilt and sorrow...but he CANNOT MOVE ON. How does one move on from your own shadow, your own soul, your own heartbeat?
Riddhima in my opinion, is fooling everyone including herself, by saying that she has moved on....how can she be happy when she knows that the other half of her dil- Armaan- is still aching for her??
Sid: I actually felt really sorry for his character today. He has been caught between these two waves of intense passion and love for each other. He has tried his best to distance himself from Riddhima and now has expressed his desire to live life with her once he realized Ridz wants that too, but is it really fair to him? He loves Ridz a lot but does she really love him with all her heart? At least not yet.
I have said that on several of my posts, I would have loved it if Sid had done an Armaan like selfless act, and somehow convinced Ridz that her happiness lay with Armaan because she is incapable of going against rituals and traditions. I am hoping that somewhere down the line, Sid will realize this and put his foot down....this time not in an immature fashion as he did before, but like a real man and let go of Ridz, for the sake of her happiness.
In my opinion, whenever someone says- I'll try- it is basically a polite way of saying I CANNOT...
Armaan, I know -cannot even though he has promised Ridz
Can Ridz??? That's the million dollar question
I'd appreciate polite and meaningful comments on my post. I request people who want to bash or try to teach me a lesson about life to stay away....thanks you all..
