Who knew that Arjun would become chhoo mantar from his wedding mandap (which incidently didnt look like a high society wedding, which it should have been since the parents own an ad agency - gin chun ke dus log the shaadi mein) not because he was going after Saral but because that voice in his head would not let him live in peace or should I say in revenge. 😆😉
I just loved the way he started sweating when he saw Sam entering the mandap. His conscience which was dead till Radhika came into his life suddenly jago-fied and started saying anti-Nandini stuff to him.
But a moment later we got to know it was not his conscience, it was Radhu reaching out to him telepathically, if this was not a romance, I would think it was a badly scripted scifi movie with a hottie playing the villain's role.
All the time that the episode was running, I was sitting with the popcorn tub in my hand, and a silly grin on my face. 😳😃 Kya dhamakedaar episode. Battu toh fida ho gayi. He actually removed his pagadi and laid it down, like a gesture that spoke of the burden he carries on his shoulder. That was classic direction btw... and then just when he was getting frustrated about his situation to no end, he heard the voice again. Outside of his head!
By god! Radhika has to just take Saral's name aur iss hottie ka khoon khaul uth-ta hai. 👏 How he rushed towards the direction from where the voice came. It was almost like saara agression Saral pe utaar diya. If Radhika would not have stopped him again, he probably would have killed the guy under his jootis like the nasty bug that Saral is.
Today's epi was full paisa vasool hindi drama! It had angst, action, passion, comedy, rona dhona, almost izzat lootna fir baap ka waha aana aur chillanna... aur hero ka heroine ko bachana ek baar nahi do baar, aur heroine ka hero ko dekh ke dekhte hi rehna.
Wah! Wah! Wah!
But jokes apart... On a very poignant note. I was actually very touched by the way Arjun unbeknown to himself just somehow finds her everytime he is upset. These two are truly made for each other. And i dont particularly care if their marriage starts with hate - which I don't think it will - these two will never be able to stay without each other.
All that talk that Radhika gave to Arjun about "bhagvan", "achchai" and all that, was just not talk, she was trying to get him to react. Because we all know that Radhika follows her own heart always...
As Radhika's voice is in Arjun's head, Radhika has a voice in her heart. A silent but steady voice, which tells her that whatever she may think or see, there is indeed a goodness to this man, and she only need delve a little deeper than on the surface to get a glimpse of it. I dunno if any of you saw it, but I saw it when Arjun was manhandling her to get the diary from her... her eyes were pleading to him. Not just so that she could get to keep the diary, but more because she so wants him to show her that he really is not as bad as he makes himself out to be.
She has time and again seen him doing stuff for her, for Radhika. And she is perplexed as to how a man who can care so much about her, does not care a hoot about Sam. In her heart it does not add up. I felt that the tears in her eyes when Arjun burnt the diary were not just at the horror of evidence being burnt, but they were tears for Arjun himself. It was in that moment that her comment "aath saal ke bacche ke zindagi mein zeher milaya" actually made deeper sense. In that moment she saw how much of a hold Nandini has on him, that just saying her name and saying that Nandini will lose her battle gets Arjun back to square one.
I wont be surprised to see in the future that just as Radhika totally owns Sam and can do anything for her, she will now do the same with Arjun. I am betting that her next project once the Ardhika marriage is done will be to get Arjun to see the futility of walking on the path of revenge.
And I am sure this guy will melt... Radhika has a huge weapon in her hand as far as Arjun is concerned, which she can wield against him. HERSELF.
For all he might say... raaste ke patthar ko hatana aata hai, vagaira vagaira... the moment something happens to Radhika, Arjun's rage, hatred and vengeance just melts and all that is left is only love and concern.
How he leapt at her pallu on a moment's notice, when he saw her catching fire. How he took her by the shoulder and gave her a piece of his mind. And Radhu watched all of it. She has recorded all of this in her heart, and she will use it to get Arjun on the line, well away from the shadow of Nandini, and this journey will make a great story to watch,
Popcorn on the house!!! Come one, come all. 😊👏 The most exciting part of the tale starts now!!
