Reemz - that shot is precious! And I shall follow your cue - maybe Nur can make an exclusive sigg of it? You know the point where he shows her the camera - the picture itself, even with him half cut - is so so endearing... its smiles all the way - two lovers, two friends, two soul mates! And when Gulaal tells him to take the picture again - it's so awesome how her hurt is at both levels - in watching him hurt, and in actually being disappointed about the picture!
Anjali, Mini - ditto you guys. I honestly was misty eyed, and then I realized that I was also smiling... these two have a bond that is so so beautiful ... it truly makes you want to have one just like that, without feeling envious! As I said yesterday - you've just got to love their love!
Nur - You're bang on. I noticed the pointed 'lack' of proximity in their scene today... there was so much to say about it! Usually, the proximity does begin with Kesar... and it happens naturally, yet today was like his need to just... sort of have that gap. When he told her he's not hungry and will just crash for the night - for a second you want to pull him back and not waste one second of the precious moments he's got now - and may never again have! It's like that last night at graduation year college trips, when you just wont sleep a wink, cause you know it may be the last time like this, with all these people... You want to be alert and awake every minute of it - and remember every little detail so vividly, that you can remember it like a pristine something years and years later! And you wonder, how Kesar - who makes such a point of making the best and most of time - is willingly walking away for the night? But then you know why! Because he just can't bear another moment of being with her when all he's thinking of is tomorrow and after... He doesn't sleep cause he can't - but he can't just stand making happy memories over a dinner meal either, when his heart is breaking inside like that! His never ending spirit to satisfy himself, and genuinely strive to be happy with whatever little he has does have an end after all... and this night of all nights, he just can't hold up his effort to generate happiness inside of him in the void he knows he has volunteered to live with... The way he tells her that they need to come closer for the shot - is so fact like and just a statement, and yet... for the bond they've now shared, hugs, and touches and all that - it's almost his subconscious way of verbalizing this will be it...
But yes, in agreement with you - I did like the episode very much. For once I actually got happy about Kulli, cause they've already set up stage for GK to come together day after - that for an occasion that is sure to give Gulaal the jolts.
Honestly - the night time lying down scene went quite far in depicting how much of the jolt she can already feel. She's not just beginning to sense it - she's beginning to comprehend it as well - but Kesar's little afternoon comment, and the finality of what her status verses that house now is, shall not allow her to dare, if there was even an inkling of a chance. I think what we will see in her realization phase now is not simply that she loves Kesar - cause honestly her signs her already showing at that - but that she loves him too much to let him go - even for that family... that her sense of endless sacrifice too, like Kesar's undying attempt to find happiness in her happiness even if without her - is just as futile at the end of the day and has a mortal limit too!
What I like all the more about the scene is how Kesar is taking all these signs from Gulaal - especially was today - as her being hurt in hurting him, which can be complexly translated to his love for her hurting her - and the final Gulaal verdict on still wanting to break the DV will seal that fact for him... so much, that when she does come around finally, he is going to be in for the grandest surprise of his life! He hit rock bottom the first time he offered to break the DV - this time is a new found all time low... and again, he can only rise from here!
Savz - I wont say I don't agree with the hastening in lose ends of Dushyant and Vasant track... but I suppose it can be let go... I just wish they'd stop showing Raman - he reminds me of how much more unfair it feels!
likearsh - excellent point! I was thinking about it today (as I did mention in my post too) when we got the MB/PB Kesar sequence, of how this show was standing out in a norm of cliche, to not simply condone Gulaal of her error of ways, despite her golden heart. If she still doesn't realize what her 'sacrificing' has brought upon the people, her dealing with everything all on her own - I wonder what it will take her to realize! That needing Kesar - or simply needing a partner - is human, and not a sin! That although every person must lead their entire life themself, we are social beings by design and for a reason and she cannot live her days forever towing her cart all alone! Because really, Gulaal is capable of being lonely in the middle of a May fair! Not even funny, how much she can isolate herself in the name of sacrifice and duty! It's masochistic, and I'm glad the makers of this show are not going by trend to extol the trait as austere and nirvana like! Kesar's empathy was needed for her to sort of get back on track again about not doubting her own intentions! But this punitive period is needed for her to understand, that trying to be a one man army - can be wrong on many levels - most for those she loves with her life! Anyway - we'll get to watch those nuances soon enough now, I reckon!
Nur - the avi looks awesome already - but I'll wait for your post in the creation gallery to pick and choose ☺️
