And this has to be the most Kesarified Epi of the serial...The suave Kesar is out...the aloof Kesar has vanished, the slow treading Kesar is no more...In here is the Kesar Gulaal had been hankering for... that innocent and guileless Kesar...that brat and posessive Kesar...That open and all demanding Kesar
And I really am having a Crisis at home front...so am cheating...am posting my comment on KRML on this date...So here it goes😳
The first scene was fab ...And we got to hand over to Gulaal for standing up to him when he was this angry...I mean I would have been frightened out of my wits seeing the bachaa so angry...you know...he actually becomes bachaa only around her...you see him talking to everyone and he is matured and responsible...but Gulaal so brings out the child in him
Neil was fab ...just fab...you know he starts questioning her quite in control but when she talks about everyone and Motabha and Dushaynt,,, I think what hurt him most was she didnot give him a thought..what about him?? what about his feelings.?? why cant she put them first like he does for her... his anger outpouring...oh the way he said why wouldnt Gulaal do as he says was said sooo forcefully
But this scene was such a balm on my sore heart...
you know why???
Because this scene told me that Kesar is not doubting Gulaal and her chastity...he is just hurt...hurting that ego of his, and craving that exclusiveness in this relation which he gives to Gulaal...why would she not listen to him...that is Kesar ...the young Kesar who once told Gulaal...tum meri ho!!! ...exclusive, totally and completely hers...why? why and why when he gives himself completely to her, that she doesnot reciprocate that completeness...
He himself doesnot know this...but he voices that ...
And Gulaal...Gulaal is so damn perceptive...yesterday she read Motabha's mind and today she read Kesar's...
What was his problem? that she recommended Dushyant's name or that she had not done what HE wanted...
And Kesar is stumped...is totally bowled...he is now going to face this question and he needs to think about it???
Why is he angry...what is the reason...
Did someone see the stuttering he did ??? the absolute chhotu Kesar style... the way he said 'MMMein nahi samjha uska kya?' just like he said 'MMMaara...Ba aapke saamne maara'!!!! When he gets angry on her... ,
he is not matured..as I said...he might have matured for others...but for Gulaal he still is the same..the eternal bacha craving for his Gulaal😳..you are right ...I too feel for Gulaal ...and for Kesar it is like she is the center of universe, but for Gulaal it is Vasant's family that is her priority...and Kesar doesnot know that...he knows how she puts everyone before him...but he doesnot understand the logic
and the next moment ...when Gulaal put that question to him...owwwthe absolute vulnerability on his face...as if somebody had punctured his armour..
His Scene with raman was also so frank and outspoken..though at that time also it was Gulaal gulaal..wonder why he doesnot remember his childhood memories of Raman's behaviour after Vasant...it seems that he doesnot remember anything except Gulaal...*sigh* the bacha willl be the death of me...
The last scene
I always said...he still has that hurt child in him...and today that child was sooo obvious...
When he frantically searches for that letter...owww and the way he heaves a sigh of relief when he finds it..it was as if he found an oasis in the desert..an anchor from stopping him from drowing further...
and was it me or did you notice that his voice broke as he read the letter...*sigh* the way he says that when Gulaal would answer the questions, he would believe her...but he is afraid that the answers might just take her away from him..
and this was probably the first time he says the words aloud...after reading the letter in his mind...
Darn!! he is sooo insecure, so clinging to the Gulaal he always did...
You know as a child when he used to do that when Vasant had died and Raman had tried to kill him...and he so needs to bring this out...he is breaking into several pieces...
But I loved, loved his faith ..because inspite of so many people rooting against Gulaal..he still holds on to her love like anything...
owww...his tears, his vulnerabitlity and his utter surrender to Gulaal...what do I say but that I cried with Kesar today..the hurt the pain the agony actually wrenched my heart away and blew me into several pieces...
he is so exclusively committed to her...the way he cries and says that he doesnot want to hear the answers because it might take her away from her...
meaning that he would prefer anything..even this heartache and heartbreak everytime..than being alienated from her...awww..the bachaa...so hurting na😭
