IKRS 2nd September 2015 ep.21 My Take
For me the episode focussed on time..and waiting.. perseverance!
When evils plans out of evil minds are thwarted despite the efforts they puts into annihilating good. Evil too needs to to let off steam with a view to resemble it's believe in it's powers to strike yet again. Tripurari gets a mouthful for his negligence and cavalier attitude! from Dashrant. He becomes the punching bag .Tripurari wants to fight with muscle.. but Dashrant wants to exercise the artfulness of the mind. in warfare various modis operandi are applied. Dashrant's method is the underhand subtle manner whereby Viplav is stopped in his tracks of aiding the widows .. but in a manner where Dashrant's mental rigging does not surface and nowhere is he implicated! He mocks his partner in crime Tripurari that such methodology needs a devious mind ,that which he clearly is devoid off!!
Play on time..
Dark deeds have to be undertaken under cover of the night, whereas virtuous deeds are done openly in broadlight! by invoking supplications to their gods! Dhani goes by the insecurity of her nightmare .. yet starts her day and heals herself by praying to Tulsi maa .. send the lawyer on time! so no injustice is done..
Viplav is woken up in the morning with a jug of water thrown at his face by Tania to prepare him for the day.. ablution with pure water a cleansing to embrace the new day. a day when he fights for justice! ..Tania is used as a time keeper for Viplav by the gods! she keeps a check on his time management!!
With time comes it's passing ..and then the waiting...
The day begins with the Janamashtami procession!! Come! churlish Krishna come!!!.. Dhani waits for him! he is not on time! and misses his flight!! she waits.. testing time for both, he waits for the next flight.. Dhani phones and loses her rag ..testing times are little snags set up by the gods to strengthen the faith of the devotes.. then more time lapses..
Dashrant gets through to Viplav .. but Viplav hides he is at the airport due to the surprise he plans to give them...so the evil one is hood winked for the time being but not for long.. it is time now for Dashrant to ensure Viplav stays off the soil of Banaras! bids him to stay indoors to ward off ill omen as Viplav's stars show inauspicious signs for him!
Dashrant's .. timely use of his biggest weapon as a pandit.. his skill of fortune telling.. for he knows all humans fear their future destiny.. time has come to use this skill upon his grandson.. Many times Dashrant uses this great manipulating tool in making people do what he wants them to do.. he chuckles at his guile.. killing two birds with one stone !!there Viplav misses his flight! here the widows will lose their shelter!! But only time will tell, as the gods have their own time of doing what they want.. Dashrant gets a time out!! as Viplav gets the next flight!!!
But then the gods shield the vulnerable ones for the time being from ill news, bar the strong one.. Dhani only knows he's missed the flight.. of course the less strong ones in times of crisis do protest and try to discourage ones who stand strong.. as Rajlaxmi confronts Dhani about the flippant attitude of the airy fairy lawyer.. only time will tell
Time is changed at court.. hearing brought forward from 12.00 to 10. 30am ..lalla is fine with it but Dhani complains as her lawyer will be late!! more testing times for the vulnerable.. lord Krishna's ways are hard to decipher..
Timely meeting between Tripurari and Suvarna .. she give timely information ..Delhi lawyer has missed his plane. Tripurari recalls.. Dashrant asking to meet DM at 12.00pm.
DM arrives.. Dhani begs for more time.. he is denounces her falling at his feet... Dhani unknowingly touching his feet, renders him unclean ! he would have to immerse in the Ganges to purify himself again.. hypocrite! and such a man is part of the judiciary ?.. such is Lord Krishna's sense of justice.. Dhani is given time..till her protector comes to fight their case..
Viplav .. stuck in the Janamashthami procession! Symbolises ..that it may take time for supplications to be granted but they are answered eventually.. Viplav walks.. then runs to the court through procession that calls for the flute playing lord Krishna to come to his devotees .. Dhani tries to ring Viplav.. testing wait! .. poor reception.. testing faith! ... ahh jaa!! Viplav moves as the protector!! Right at the moment as all feels lost!! lord Krishna shows his strange powers... Viplav makes it in the nick of time!! and answers to his job! defence laywer Viplav Tripathi.. here to represent the widows!!!.. the earth trembles under the might of the timely .. intervention of the deities!!
Widows stand bewildered! but most of all the caller and the receiver.. have to confess for the very first time I saw Viplav and Dhani.. as future soul mates [in role].. both Mishal and Eisha .. conveyed it all ..by their expressions.. just brilliant!! surely the highlight of the episode..
