About special mention, wanted to post this here again :
I just love this scene,
This particular scene shows what Akshan truly stand for....
Even if Guddu wants to free Alisha & is against AJ's way but she has immense respect for him
If she wanted she could have freed Alisha on her own even after he said her not to do so but her respect for him stopped her & she came to samjao him
It isn't about ego clashes here as the shaitan mandli had expected, its about standing up for what they believe is right
AJ is 100% right when he says Guddu's all love shower is giving encouragement to Alisha
Guddu is also right as AJ's only all & all strict ways will only fuel the rebel in Alisha i.e. if juvenile jail couldn't sudharo her, then this is not much different
Both Akshan need to find the right balance, its their journey together like it has always been.... making amends with differences in soch & coming together at a point like they have been doing all along i.e. thoda tum samjho thoda hum samjhenge
Till now whenever AJ has cried its hardly ever in the full display of public, maybe only when Guddu was in hospital. Other times he always does so alone inside his room, & this time he did so infront of Guddu. Its beautiful how his true emotions are always come naked in front of her for she is the only one who holds the right to see him like that. Its only in front of her, he can show & share his every emotion for only she can provide him solace
He was breaking internally by being strict & saying so harsh words to Alisha on the outside. Yes he has handled the sons before strictly but they surely didn't needed to be tied up or locked away on occasions like Diwali. For a man like AJ who has dedicated his entire life willingly for the family & relations, it definitely pains for him to see, his own blood putting his entire family's life to risk & it definitely pains to punish his own blood harshly. Like he said, just cause he can't show love properly doesn't mean he doesn't have love inside him. He has love & that hurts & that causes the tears to flow. For a man like him, tears are not a sign of weakness but proof of strength of holding pain being a human.
Its beautiful how he laid out his true feelings, his emotions open in front of Guddu which lightened him up & recharged him. This can be seen as before leaving the room itself, he was back to his strictness announcing the firmness of his decision.
That particular moment reminded me of K3G Big B's, "keh diya na... Baas ! keh diya !"
