Hello ladies. My apologies for posting and disappearing, even on the earlier post. Some work or the other generally beckons.

Sush, thanks for posting regularly and providing a thread for, from what I see, some very interesting discussion on the episodes.

Missed the epi. 😔

Will get back later after catching up.

I am actually very much OK with RNJ not showing any kind of attraction to Gayatri. For me, that is very important here. Because he has already sworn himself to Sula on and on...feeling for Gayatri at a physical level...however subtle..would make him a hypocrite. Also, RNJ is a smart man- he would be able to read what those emotions are and they wouldn't please him- they would alarm him at this point in time. I like the way they are going about it. His hatred and mistrust rules over everything else...whatever he has felt for Gayatri is too subtle to have cautioned him...

And now he feels repentant...for a long time, his feelings would hide under that label...

Loving this phase of RNJ falling in love...it is so slow and subtle...it has crept on him...like the dusk (positive here) that came unnoticed...the beauty of which went unnoticed by him...and one day, he looks up to find the moon...and swears it is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen...and this would be the most peaceful and happy time in his entire life.❤️

😆


@ chicksoup: Agree with you entirely. It would be a good change if the creatives showed that Sulokshna was indeed a good soul and if they (as voiced by Gayatri) continue to respect the love that they shared.

I really liked the last para. Well put.

@ Danseuse aka Rekha: I appreciate your logical questions especially the one regarding the hired "hit"-graze-the-arm-man.

@ Wooster (may I call you Wooster instead of Bertie?): Very well-written, as always. Perhaps I may be able to revert to it again in a while.

Much as I would prefer that they maintain Sulokshna as a positive character, I can't help but remember a couple of things -- Sulokshna died or disappeared after a car accident and someone who is obsessed with ensuring that she is not replaced in Ranaji's life lurks around the palace. It is far too reminiscent of Rebecca and its adaptation across the border -- Noorpur ki Rani. So, either Sulokshna is alive or one of her obsessed confidantes or someone with other ulterior motives (e.g.: ensuring that Ranaji remains heirless) is roaming the corridors of the palace.

This was brought home by the fact that the lady in black was in the bedchamber during the exchange between the King and the Queen in which he blurts out inadvertently, albeit leaving it incomplete, that "Gayatri is his ...". From the point of view of the creatives, what was the purpose of her presence during that conversation? Will it act as a trigger for some more sociopathic behvaiour?

Yes similarity to Rebecca cannot be overlooked. There are many instances in the story where it reminds of Rebecca. I have read the book.
Even the rearranging of the room differently by the new lady is not liked by the house keeper to whom everything Rebecca wanted should be the way she wanted.
We can see more sociopath behavior is my take.
Now since someone said it, I understand why I felt attracted to the show. Anything connected to mytho, English fiction and royal era does capture my attention. And ETR2 has everything at this point.

I enjoyed the episode barring the inconsistencies and over dramatization. But like Shweta said hopefully its over and we can move on... 😆

So RM is the queen of hitting bulls eye it seems. She won't let RNJ off the hook so easily so decided to get Gayatri shot. This plan of hers might backfire since RNJ's shatir dimaag has been enlightened and he is anxious to know who is behind this. The precap of Kundwar Chachi tied up and being questioned is not what I was expecting... 😆 Poor Chachi ji, the first time he actually hasn't done anything to plot against RNJ and Gayatri and he gets into trouble.

I am glad Yashoda is back... 😊 I guess CV's are reading this forum because a lot of people have been asking where she is. She was very smart with her answers although RNJ wasn't fully convinced and decided to delve into the matter further.

The most enjoyable part of the episode was RNJ and Gayatri conversation in the bedroom. The husband and wife nok jhok was well done and nothing was OTT. Good job CV. Gayatri doesn't understand English and DD did a good job with her acting and dialogues were apt. RNJ's uncomfortableness was clearly visible. I am glad he almost blurted out that Gayatri is his queen.

I agree with Bertie that they need to show gradual change in RNJ but so far they have showed nothing to the viewers that Gayatri affects him on that level. I know subconsciously she does but I would still like to see more of RNJ's emotions (not just related to Sona all the time).

And the dreaded woman in the veil is back. Is she Sona? who else could it be? It cannot be BRM because I freaking made my screen bigger to see the hands and they didn't look like the hands of an old woman... 😆

Hi Shruthi, the picture of the couple in the DP, is that the show Ek Tha Chander Ek Thi Sudha? How is that show going? I watched only 2-3 episodes and haven't had time to catch up. Its only a 20 episode series. I know the novel quite well although I haven't read it but I have heard about it a lot. There is an English translation of the novel too. Cannot remember the name now.

Haha, It sure could be. He might be avenging the death of his beloved?

Liked your review the only thing I didn't like about the episode was Rana saying out loud that he will look after gayatri because If anything happens to her it will reflect badly on the kingdom he didn't have to say that out aloud I think some of the scenes need fine tuning so the characters don't look silly.

I loved your analysis yet again, I second that Rajmatas want for power or let's say more for precision may cause problems later on. Although I must say I love her, she's strong, cunning for all the right reasons and has an aura around herself that demands attention. Most definitely queen like. My fave character after Gayathi ofcourse.

Now coming to the jungle scene, yes I too expected an army following ranaji then again maybe the husband in him was alive and in the hurry he left on his own. Well that's what I'd like to think. I loved that Gayathi held her own and just didn't follow him around. She questioned and pushed forcing him to apologise. I liked how ransji although was reluctant still accepted his fault because he has hugely wronged.

The while epi was good, maybe one of fave because it had it all action, drama, suspense, romance and comedy. I loved gayathris husband beating ability whereas his so flustered, it was totally cute. She should continue to do so 😆 😆

Amazing epi, although any normal human would have been dead or in coma at least after that many attacks 🤣 I think


Amazing work by all DD, SK abd the cast

@bold- it makes lot of sense. Wilkie, made him look at RGD as a woman.I was saying this on other thread, her feet is the first thing he noticed,when she was looking for her payal & then Wilkie sends the payal & stuff happened😆
If we are talking of awareness, in the sharing the plate scene ,he was bit awkward,when their hands touched.Guess, he was living in the moment & euphoric after the duel.😆
Me too don't want to see this phase entirely hormonal .



Sim, I didn't watch that epi too closely...was travelling then...will have to take a relook...but quite possible...a rush of adrenaline does that you...wakes up all your other senses too...!

You remember when he taught her to take aim? that rifle shooting incident where she laughed because he missed his aim? I said this even then! He was reacting to her laughter there as a man and not as a king. His male ego was hurt! He wanted validation of his power over her and what better way than to use his physical proximity to prove a point. When she could not keep her adoring gaze away from his charming face, it was validation and more! The point is he was not trying to feel her up but was using his masculine presence to turn her putty in his arms! He wanted to reassert his power over her, to tell her that much as you may laugh over my aim, let me see you laugh now when you are in my arms! Forget taking aim, you will forget to breathe!


@anobserver You are welcome to call me Wooster,Woo or any other variation you can come up with ...and nice observations...the Rebecca hangover is strong...I have a niggling feeling that Sona might just rise from the dead...not to play the bigamy angle..but maybe to lay the Sona ghost to rest once and for all so RNJ can be depossessed once and for all 😆

But that was pretty much to reassure himself that there was nothing more to it...and possibly to send the message across to his mother...I found it funny actually...the poor chap is fighting hard!
