Ep 40 -Take a Bow Sabaji
What an exceptional episode, and this is what I would call Hard Core drama, unpredictable and mind boggling! A fantastic execution of a brilliant and beautifully scripted one!
Sabaji take a bow! ⭐️
Viraf was absolutely right in praising and commending her scripts through his tweet!
And I am not sure if my post does justice to such a well crafted episode!
At the start I was like oh no a Friday with psycho romance! All are seated at the table, when Nandini cunningly decides to sit right opposite Aditya and starts making advances towards him. Nandini is way too bold and she is actually playing an MJ with Aditya. Bullying him femme fatale style! The irony of Life!
Tayaji comes, they all rise. He asks them to be seated. Tara remembers the file and so she says, "I have found one of your belongings." Oh bligh me! Zor ka jhatka mila Tayaji ko...The guy really dreads Tara...she is pure unadulterated trouble for him. He drops the book he is holding. "I'll bring it right away." Tayaji turning pale thinks, "What is this girl upto now?" 😆😆😆 She goes upstairs when Mrityunjay comes to the dining area with phone in hand.
Tara comes down the stairs with the file notices Mrityunjay is downstairs so pulls her dupatta over her head and walks with file in hand, whilst here MJ informs the person on the phone that he would inform him the minute he got the file. "No not yet, I will call you back" only to turn and see that Tara is walking towards Tayaji with the same file.
Mrityunjay has gone blank, Tayaji is probably shaking in his dhoti with tension, Nirmala forcing herself to give a botox-filled frown, and Tara walks as if the world is in her hands! What a scene!😃👏👏
Baba says, Tara isn't this the same file I gave you to get MJ's signatures? She nods. She hands it over to Tayaji when sahi time pe sahi entry marna wala apna Mrityunjay says, "Ji Babuji and flicks the file from Tara. Holding it dearly for life says, "It's the same file, I still have some work to do on it, I will sign on it and return later." Mrityunjay has relief written all over his face.
Now with Baba playing cupid all the time with these two says sweetly, "You can sign it and give it to Tara Babu, I will take it from her?" I mean you can ask your son to return it to you through Joseph! So we love you Baba! 🤗
Kala in action...she has to unleash her tension so leaves to go to her room.
Baba asks Tara to join them at the table and then Mrityunjay as well, who excuses himself saying he had some urgent work and he would return once done.Baba tells him to be there for the family photographs as it is Tara's first Diwali. This worries Tara. But Mrityunjay agrees to be back after finishing some work.
Ardhana tells Nandu to return home, saying it wasn't right staying there like that. The chipku makes small talk and Mother warns her to return. With Aditya hounding her to leave right away, Nandu feigns a leg sprain and Baba insists she leaves after she is okay.
I don't know if you know but cross dressers get a high when in women's clothes or vice versa. Rudra puts on his long hair wig, or takes off the short hair wig pata nahi...lekin aage dekhte hai😕...He sits in front of the mirror and is busy plaiting his hair... ...and he remembers the old man from the asylum..."janam janam ka saath hai humara tumhara...he has a very sad forlorn look on his face, was this man his lover??? Don't kill me for this...but it could be...listen to the bg score...it's brilliant and brooding...tells you the torn feelings inside of Rudra...the conflict the man has within himself...Faheem enters with his cup of tea, "Why does my master look worried?" What are you thinking of sir?"
"No Faheem, just like that...he is so depressed...Faheem, There is something worrying you for sure? What is it? You can surely tell me.
He takes off his mustache, "What can I hide from my confidante?" I was only thinking about the gammon in the game of chess. Fahim isn't this a weird game? To be successful one has to get involved in it. And on the other hand one wrong move can make you lose.
But how is your problem and the game related?
He laughs, "Because life is a game of chess. And all of us belong to this game. Everyone is playing their game. Everyone is playing to defeat the other. But I don't understand one thing Fahim, why are the pawns only colored black and white, shouldn't there be more color in life? A color between black and white? Like Grey? Many a times the road in the middle can lead to our destination.T here should be something in between, a little different like, just like you and me.
Wow a very big revelation, the frustration and despair over stigmatization, sadly life does not allow him to live differently, be different. So does he suffer from Gender Dysphoria'
Fahim agrees with him but hurriedly tries to leave the room. Now why is Faheem running away from this discussion? Rudra asks him to stay back and play one game of chess. Yet he excuses himself saying he has to make arrangements for his father's upcoming death anniversary.
Rudra looks into the mirror, and says, "I am sure this year too you would celebrate your dad's death anniversary in a grand way like you always have been"
Faheem replies, "That is right but I have to make arrangement for that too." Whilst leaving he hands over a covered photo frame saying, "Here take this, I asked for my father's photograph to be framed."
Rudra opens it to reveal the man from the asylum. Faheem gone, Rudra takes form that reveals his demonic nuances!
I clapped for the most unpredictable shocker of a bombshell dropped by Sabaji on us... 👏
What was the need for Faheem to handover that photo frame to Rudra? Was he trying to get Rudra to let his guard down and expose something by mistake? Did Faheem ever see his father's dead body? Is he on a quest to find out the truth of his dead father? Yes it seems.
Vishwajeet enacted Kala and Rudra which sheer brilliance. At one point I sympathized with the man for what he must be going through living this dual identity and by the end I wanted to kill him.😲
Mrityunjay in the dark room goes through the file that has financial data about Rudra's operating accounts, total operating liabilities etc.
Mrityunjay says to himself, "The dates kept changing but your deeds did not you are still the same, just the same" Immediately calls someone and says, "The file for the last 12 years is ready. Get started with the work, I have very little time. I want to know the truth before I die."
Is Rudra siphoning public funds into his personal account? Or could be even from the Shekhawat coffers! MJ wants to take him down with him. He is not afraid to die but he will rip him apart before his own Rip!
Tara looking beautiful in a gorgeous green sari comes to Meethi. But where is her black mark in this scene? I think it's only visible to Mr. India..no one else! Hahahaha😛😉
Meethi praises the photographer and says you should click some nice wedding pictures. Tara thinks of her own prison wedding; it upsets her and she leaves.
The photographer getting all to be seated, instructs, "All the men would stand behind and the women would sit in the front."
Mrityunjay stands right behind Tara. Vasu asks where should she stand. They say next to your brother and she goes to Adi. MJ feels a little left out. Tara places the ghunghaat on her head.
Photograher complains that her ghunghat is not properly set. She tries, he then asks MJ being her husband to fix it for her, Mrityunjay brings his hands forward to hold the pallu and fixes it properly though this frightens her.
Now this photuwala also is our dost so says, "She is your wife naah, so you can place your hands on her shoulder " He hesitates but then slowly places his hand on her left shoulder. She is scared, yet puts on a fake smile.
Says to all the pictures have come out very well. All get up to check them out. Tara too is about to get up when Mrityunjay holds her back remembering the file thing, and so decides to threaten her again, "Don't you ever try to muddle with me. Or you will have to pay a heavy price." She trembles at first listening to his words, "Do you understand?"
Tara remembers her Saviour's advice and decides to put it into practice, "I am no longer scared of your threats. If you harm me in any way, I will shout aloud and tell Baba about it. Mrityunjay puckers his eyebrows, confused, aila what did just happen, Who is this? She continues boldly," You can trouble me, only if I allow you to and yes I wouldn't not tolerate any torture" and pushes her shoulder off his hold. Mrityunjay now bamboozled all the more!😆😆 Huh! Meri churi mujhi pe waar? Areh I remember telling one pretty little woman the same to same words, yeh kya hua? Kaise hua?😆😆
She pushes his hand away and gets up, leaving him hunched up like Hunchback of Notredame, still thinking, "How can she say the same thing that I'd said to the other girl in the stable?" He compares to what he had told the girl and what Tara says to him...Tubelight jali ke nahi Mister??😆😆
I cracked up looking at Mrityunjay's face there..and the drop in his tone! OMG! ...Sabaji managed to make the man look like he surely had lost his marbles for a good few minutes.🤣
Baba then asks her to take more pictures which he obviously obliges.
Next morning Nimmo and all come into the living room to see a big frame sitting there. Vasu passes by and is beaming. Baba comes he too smiles...Faheem comes and says, "Mashallah" beaming too to see Tara & Mrityunjay the Royal Couple in the same frame!☺️
Baba suggests to place on the wall of the living room, to which Nimmo snaps saying there wasn't any space for it there.
Faheem completely agrees with her, retorting, "Rightly said Begum Sahiba, Mashaallah it is such a beautiful picture, what a Jodi, it should be kept away from people's eyes. "
Baba agrees with Faheem, "Faheem keep it safely with you, this photograph is a Diwali gift from me to them." Faheem takes it away.
After a while Mrityunjay walks down the corridor wearing an awesome Peachy Pink (Color of love) shirt, looking ever so handsome...when Joseph asks what should he do with this? It's a large wrapped up picture frame.
He asks Joseph to get him milk and he would check it out. Now the man is of course itching to see it. Mrityunjay first checks to see if anyone was around...naughty guy.😉
He is drawn to it... walks towards it with bated breath...He tears a piece of the wrapping in much urgency, and then his molten-gold prying eyes drink in only her neckline that beholds her beauty spot. He is lost in that partly exposed image of her and his own reflection hits him back. His eyes light up, a faint smile touches the corner of his lips...yeah a tiny blush...his eyes tell it all, a joy of knowing deep down she is The One! He remembers the girl who fell in his arms. He thinks, "Is that Girl?" Kahi who ladki hii"☺️
What a brilliantly executed shot. Awesome acting by Viraf, such subtlety in his expressions...Phew! The lighting, the thrilling and racing background score, what a dreamy look it all had. And what a way for an artist to unravel the identity of his wife, but of course through a photograph!👏
And this line summarizes Viraf's performance today!👏
Marlon Brando quote: Just because someone shouts "Action" doesn't mean you have to do anything."
A Very Happy Diwali to each and every EBIan...
It's going to be the longest weekend...of waiting, and longing and dying to rip off the rest of the wrapping of that beautiful image!
