Whatever I expected from today's episode. It wasn't that...
"The truth" of Vasant's death is something which was going to be explosive when it came out, something to shake the whole family to such extremes that nothing would ever be the same again...
I actually had my hand clasped to my mouth, no exaggeration whatsoever, when I saw the' coming up' unfold before my eyes.
What. The. !!!!
The one who got away....
Raman escaped, not once but twice. The first when Dushyant saved him by paying off his humongous debt and the second when the time came to 'fess up to his family's questioning eyes...and all he did was make an unconvincing excuse and walked away. Leaving his brother to answer on his own behalf, shunning away from his responsibility.
And Dushyant paid the price and it wasn't for the crime he actually committed. Fate has a great sense of humour...But you know what they say...no good deed goes unpunished.
Since his realisation, Dushyant has been burning in his own self guilt, aware that only he and Gulal know of his truth. Who murders their own brother? He came to his senses, but what senses were they? Stained by Vasant's blood, a stigma that would forever remain and wouldn't be cleaned away no matter how much he tried to "punish" himself or by devoting the rest of his life to his family. I felt sorry for him...but Kesar's every word tore through me.
The angst, the emptiness, the hurt, the hollowness he feels. A kid was ridden of the guidance, love, care, presence of his older brother, the hand that he always expected to be there was taken from him...and it all came out today.
I expected it to be revealed one day...but today was not that day.
But it was awesome.
Superbly directed, every dialogue, every reaction, everything...left me shell-shocked.
From Dushyant's slap, you could just see how stumped Kesar was, his bloodshot eyes full of angry tears. Dushyant arguing that he never did anything with an ill-intention...but that's just it. Dushyant revived might not have done. But Evil Dushyant did.
He killed Vasant.
And Kesar screamed it out from the top of his lungs, finally relieving himself of that knot in his chest which has always agitated him to the extent of him hating Gulal, the reason he has never been able to trust like he did, Vasant was such an imperative aspect to their lives. The whole family...who can only now live with his memory. Kesar witnesses their pain, the same pain he feels, everyday, he is pained when he sees Gulaal, who can never move forward no matter how hard he has tried to encourage her. The "deeyarvattu" was symbolic, the shoes which were presented to Kesar after Vasant's death were more literal than anything, he was taking his brother's place...not only in Gulal's life but for his family. Mouring their death of the oldest son left the burden on Kesar's shoulder to prove himself. It has been tough for the little one...and he had to mature alot sooner, be it the death, the day he heard of "Gulal's betrayal" before he left for boarding, or being sent away itself. I completely understand what Kesar goes through everyday...and for most of the things it wasn't fair. He needed Vasant there, he should have had Vasant there.
Everyone, literally devastated.
The way Gulal realises where Kesar is headed, the urgency in her actions to drag him away before he said it. The unspeakable truth.
The reactions-"everyone", Gulal and Kesar, Motaba and Dushyant *goosebumps*. I can't explain in words how epic this episode was in it's execution...I felt every single emotion, I could relate to every single person.
I felt for Dushyant but I felt for Kesar...and then Motaba. Every person was a defeated, whether it be man or woman. There was no malice, there was no good no bad. Just a truth that changed everything.
My god when Motaba slapped Kesar and he fell against the chest. I completely expected it, like I said the truth is "unspeakable". Vasant killed by his own brother, albeit cousin. They're family...it's Dushyant. "The person whom I have trusted like I would do Vasant for the last 10 years, the person who is my own blood, like my own son...he couldn't have done...could he?"
When I didn't think it could get any worse...(or better wrt concept)
-Motaba asks Dushyant to justify himself, to refuse all the accusations against him.
But Dushyant's face said everything. He was never going to deny it...
-The truth about Gulal knowing all these years.
My god, round of applause for Motaba, I was actually scared for Gulal when I saw his reaction. My heart went out to him...she should have said. Vasant was their son. Gulal has always tried to do right for her family. But in all honesty...he was their son. He was her husband. She should have told them...
What would you do?
Buzzing for tomorrow's episode. I'm both scared yet excited. It's going to be BIG no matter what it is!
