IKRS 26th September 2015 ep 42 My Take
For me without a doubt the episode has elements of emotional blackmail and a bulky amount of what is called nuisance value. When nothing else suffices preferably reason.. a harmless way to get one's point of view across to others that matter, is to become a nuisance for them! it's fairly harmless in the main, as no physical injury is caused, no wild rowdy demonstration or abusive language comes into shape.. just being there and attention seeking ! is what's it's all about! to me Viplav's behaviour which is always for Dhani ,to use slang words " in her face", is questionable all the way. Whereas she is staid, stoic and a bit of a prude.. he in contrast adventurous! excitable, sporty! It's this distinction between them that yet again succeeds in making this Saturday episode entertaining.. Also what catches my attention is the references to certain animals , and characters in the story line are in some shape or form are attributed to those animals.. In the previous episode there was a reference made by Kanak to a lion and a jackal.
Viplav lands himself at the Ashram.. how impulsive can this man get?So what have you decided angry young lady? you'll give cash or permission for me to stay here at the ashram? you.. she goes, but he goes, I know what you're going to say that I am cruel ,hard hearted and shameless! even after knowing your weak financial position I am still asking for money? Dhani just turns from his way, the other way and he gives her a cold dirty look and turns his back to her and faces the rest of the widows.. with a bit more softness in his tone ,with a sigh he appeals to Dulari.. look kaki ,you have to believe me.. that I want to stay here amongst you all so I can fathom more closely the problems you face.. so I can have more support in terms of fighting your case for the Ashram . ..and if you want I'll pay rent.. but that is my real intention of living here.. Viplav comes clean with the widows.. he is the sort of man who irons out misgivings out of issues, offers clarifications. Good cop bad cop syndrome.. But Inderani too clarifies to him that neither he can stay at the ashram ,nor can they afford to pay his fees.. both of these issues are impossible for us. Dulari too picks up strength and becomes the good cop as she gently makes Viplav see , it's difficult for us, as it is, people are very angry with Dhani.. and seeing you living here too , is going to escalate the problem.. please reconsider your decision, she begs like her daughter Dhani and says ,please leave.. Sita mai adds much fearful, and this time people will kick us out from the ashram for sure! plus they will vandalize it ! Viplav grabs the opportunity he ws looking for and pounces upon it, exactly! That is the reason I have landed here! nothing of the sort will happen here, now I 'eve come! and during this period no one will dare to even cast their eye upon the ashram.. how many people are after this place? whose spending what? to buy it! that's exactly what I need to find out by staying here in the ashram.. now take your time all of you and then decide.. but Dhani interrupts from behind him ,I tried so hard to explain things to you at the mandir, but it seems my words made no difference to you,! you'll never change! and here you are again to give grief to all us! your heart is not satisfied till you don't give me misery.. you have insulted me enough! now you want to insult them! and he turns his head and gives her a tender but dirty look.. Dhani looks him in the face and says.. I do apologize, but I don't need such lawyer! we'll find another one! or we'll give up this Ashram.. but we won't let people to advantage of our self -respect! you want to hear our decision don't you.. then hear me out! I want that you should get out of my life and from this ashram forever!.. Viplav gives her an intense deep set narrowed eye look..and she storms past him collects his rucksack from the bed! grabs his wheelie trolley and hurls it out on the street! and Viplav protests , hey hellooo! that's my stuff! Viplav goes past her to his stuff while she stands inside the ashram door.. with much controlled hate she tells him, now you'd better leave and don't you ever return! and she shuts the door on him as he yells.. look I am Viplav Tirpathi your ashram door couldn't keep me out before! .. she walks away from the door ,inside the ashram while Viplav pouts his mouth beaten at his moves and thinks about how to get himself from this one..and then his facial expression changes into an up to no good one!
He who pays more attention to the hierarchal method of worship to please his god.. and ignores the key role that it's a devotees actions, good or bad.. that pleases or displeases the deities! Dashrant swerves the arti platter before god lord Shiva.. Dashrant's expression says it all, he is displeased, disturbed, dismembered.. has FB of , Viplav's face and his words, I am leaving this house.. how easily despite every one stopping him ..viplav went ahead and crossed the threshold of Dashrant's palace! He asks his god ,what mistake have I done? now if your blessing falls upon me ,then shortly Viplav will return home.
Back at the ashram Viplav's trolley is hurled right back over the boundary wall .. into the ashram ! with a thud! and soon after he jumps over the wall and lands in the ashram courtyard. The widows in the court yard startle.. Rachna looks at him. as he bops along and gives a long drawn heave slightly breathless.. Dhani confronts him again.. how do you behave ? you're back in here? your folks will think we've put you up to this! and blame us, why won't you understand all this? and he replies cheekily with a turn of his head, they know ,I 'eve told them! Dhani still goes on , whatever, but you still need to leave and if you don't than I'll call the police! and then they'll take you to the station! .. suddenly he says to Dhani.. leave the ashram turn left then turn right.. then again and you'll get to the police station!.. and do go carefully! he tells Dhani ,as all are nonplussed by his gibberish!. .and come back soon ! otherwise all will be worried! he teases Dhani. She gives up on his foolish silly , childish jokes! Inderani jumps in and reminds him, he can't stay here as it'll create a huge problem! or is it true that you really want to create trouble for us?.. Viplav puts on his innocent school boy act.. backed by heroic words.. Viplav has amazing people's skill ,he knows the temperament of each widow present and knows how to appeal to each of them.. why do you I ways doubt me maa ji.. why would I trouble you all? I'eve come here to eradicate your troubles.. he moves over to Sita maa and implore.. just trust your lawyer this one time! last time.. he appeals to them by scouring his beseeching eyes on all! then he moves over and looks down into Dulari's eyes , kaki just a few days ago, your happy days in the ashram were snatched away, on account of me.. those very happy days I aim to bring back and this is my promise I give to you!.. he than turns to Inderani , maa ji..and she replies, look child what do you want that we should bear the brunt of your families anger? and he replies enthusiastically , why do you worry about that it's my problem! you have enough problems to deal with, he meant Dhani ,but quickly adds , like your Ashram's security! see how easily I just jumped over the wall and came in! ..dont you all feel that your Ashram wall should be a bit more higher? I feel that it's best if a man stays here to protect you till the case is not conclusive.. than after convincing the lot he requests , my throat is parched due to my talking.. can I have a drink of water? Suvarna is asked to get some water for him.. he says, it's so hot here you don't have an aa.. ,a fan?. you don't have one? it's ok never mind.. and he takes his over shirt off and Dhani cries out in shock ,what are you doing? why are you taking your shirt off? don't you have any shame? and he turns around and snaps at her , I am hot that's why? I eve taken it off and beside what's there to be shy off..?I am wearing a tee shirt aren't I ? I am not bnaked am I ? after gulping down his drink he looks up the widows and asks in a matter of fact one, will someone show me my room please.. they look uncomfortable and he finishes off so I can finish off work on the case... nuisance value. Sita maa, says, he's very stubborn , I think let him rest for a while inside ,that'll give us time to plan way of getting rid of him... Inderani says the impossible.. Dhani my child he'll be putting up in your room! till then you put up with Suvarna, Rachna and Rajlaxmi.. so to accommodate him Dhani has to inconvenience herself, Dhani protests but is glared at by badi amma. Dhani looks at him and he beams at her like a naughty elf! Inderani instructs Rachna to show him the room Fuming Dhani moans, such a rude man! badi amma we'll have to make sure he's kicked out! how can he be allowed to stay here and Dulari too is confused, yes didi how come this boy thinks that singlehandedly he can fight our case? we'll have to burst his bubble of misconception! Inderani admits it's hard, to ask him to leave ,besides what if he asks for his payment? Where can we give him that kind of money from? Dhani tries to look at the problem
Dashrant drives in the alley ways and suddenly spots pandit phool chand calls out for him .. pandit ignores him and Dashrant himself gets out of the car and walks over to the pandit..tells him off two men who look at Dashrant and comment on him being the grandad of the guy in the newspaper with the widow. Dashrant loses the plot and phool chand reminds him the picture has been seen by all of Benaras how many tongues will he stop from wagging??phool chand wants to be excused as he is meant to be attending a gathering of local pandits.. Dashrant was not told because his grandson has twice tarnished his reputation.. Dashrant has not been approached for the meeting.. he feels his power is draining out of him Dashrant realization diverts to another whom he pins the blame for his diminishing power status! its all due to that widow his reputation has been smeared beyond repair.. his power and clout over the devotes and the people of Benaras has been lost! it's all tarnished glory..phool chand tells him it's because because never in Benaras history has the chief priest's grandson committed such a despicable sin.. that too on the shores of the holy river.. phool chand leaves him with a question.. will he punish his grandson? but Dashrant protects his kind and goes for the poor widow. When the dog who ate from the scraps of one's table begins to yap back! that's the time of doom's day for Dashrant!
Viplav waits for his room to be vacated and he watches the girls hitched against the door way of Dhani's room. fed up he lends a hand.. good heavens! even a tortoise is faster then you lot.. tortoise "saying" slow and steady wins the race..applies more to Viplav he may be swift in his manner like the hare but his consistency of being around Dhani is sheer determination which he hopes will help him win the race of making Dhani smile.. here let me do it! he goes as he feels her clothes. she snaps at him .. don't you dare touch my clothes! you go and wait outside till the room is emptied.. he gives her eye contact really.. and then turns to Rachna ,is she always this angry? Then he turns to her ,oohhh helooo? you know if you get this angry all the time ,then by thirty you'll end up looking like a toothless, bald old lady! and when you speak angrily, your words will be meaningless and lost in space! he pulls faces and his fist in her face ! Dhani retorts angrily are you leaving the room or not? and he bends towards her and snarls in her face. Suvarna giggles and gets told off by Dhani .. who finally carries her half opened suitcase and tries to walks past him against the doorpost and he commands.. stop there! she does and he continues ,thanks for giving up your room..to which she replies acidly, don't mention, as you'll not be in it much longer and he swerves his arm over her head with a click of his fingers!! that time alone will tell! and he sails into her room with a sense of achievement , as Dhani leaves her room..
Tripurai adds Viplav's picture cut out on a wall mounted canvas.. as part of his Dashrant fold.. now he also is about to add Dhani the widows picture next to Viplav's cut out. A horn announces the arrival of his foe.. Dashrant meets Durga he shows concern at Kanak's behaviour with Durga..and assures her what Kanak did was certainly not done with his approval.. He asks to see Tripurari she wishes to accompany Dashrant ,but he makes it clear he needed privacy .. the tone of his voice told Durga, Kanak might have bent hisears against her son! inside Dashrant shouts at Tripurari tells him he's useless and good for nothing! unaware of what's going on! the a grand function of pandits is happening as we speak and all you do is hide in this room and on rote chant servant servant like a parrot! first time it's happened that the city's pandits have arranged a meeting and haven't so much as sent him an invitation! and it's happened due to the photo that was published in the newspaper! I need the name of that man who got that photo printed! Otherwise I will destroy you instead ! Tripurari inwardly enjoys his foe is consumed by rage ,but outwardly he tells Dashrant to calm down and that he will find the culprit and threw him at his feet and deal with all those who malign you and will prove them wrong.. and as for those pandits who set up a function without inviting you they will fall before your feet and beg for forgiveness..it's my promise to you ! I don't understand why you keep saying I don't do much??.. I was going to tell you something and it's gone out of my mind! ..dasharant is desperate to know ,why don't you tell me clearly, prabhu..Viplav baa has taken all his stuff and moved into the Ashram! I tried my level best to stop him but he wasn't prepared to listen! Tripurari stirs and lies to wind Dashrant up.. and Dashrant smashes the glass of water and leaves Tripurari who laughs as his wounds are soothed by Dashrant's whine of pain as yet again he is stabbed by annihilating forces in his life.. this time too it's his pet pupil Viplav who stabs his respectability.. Tripurari weapon is to assure Dashrant all will be taken care on.. he preys on this prabhu's assurance.. but in reality he stabs him left right and centre.. please note Dashrant is the closest to Tripurari.. off loads before him.. trusts him.
Back at the Ashram the widows meet an emergency caucus to discuss how best Viplav can be removed from the Ashram Dulari moans, how can this boy not understand that the Ashram is for widows ,women ,amongst us won't he feel awkward ?besides those people who were didn't say much meant to will also badmouth my Dhani.. didi says something if he stays here any longer, lots of questions will be asked by people about Dhani. Inderani admits it was a huge problem they faced, Sita maa suggests lets steal his things , if he doesn't have any clothes to wear ,he'll have to leave. Sita maai ht are you saying rebukes Inderani. Suddenly the front door flings open and Rajlaxmi turns up. she is much confused to see all the widows gathered in the courtyard ,she pulls a face and assumes ,they were probably discussing her Suvarna approaches her and rajlaxm ask her where she was? as she waited for her at the edge of the river, she asked why is everyone looking so worried? has Dhani created some new problem? Suvarna says, her rakhsas turned up here to our Ashram to live! Rajlaxmi's jaw drops with such joy than it pops open and Suvarna push up her chin close your mouth will you! Dhani comes next to challenge Rajlaxmi where were you ?andshe retorts back to her, this time you've taken the cake! Our Salman Khan! has come to stay in the Ashram Dhani hisses don't get too excited ,he'll be leaving very soon .. we are all thinking about how to send him away! Dhani asks yet again babdi amma what do we plan to do? Suvarna says we were thinking of putting red ants on his clothing and bedding.. when they bite him he'll run for his life! Rachna adds , they're right badi amma alongside, lets also put itching powder on his bedding that he run to save his life and never return! and Inderani rejects these silly as being too obvious ideas and wants them to think about something else.. Dhani then comes out with the idea he should be punished in the same manner he punishes us we'll treat him as if he isn't here.. she suggests the invisble treatment.. deny him food or water.. he'll be so unhappy that he'll be forced to leave.. Inderani approves what Dhani suggests..
Precap : Rajlaxmi opens the door and before her stands a man heavy laden with a sack lung over his back,she asks what he wants?from behind him suddenly Viplav's head pokes from the side.. Viplav puts bulging sacks on to one side.. Sita maayi says this looks like a years supply! and Viplav replies innocently it's the first time I did this sort of housekeeping purchase, so didn't know how much to buy?but I certainly knew what all to buy! he chirped.. looked at Dhani and exclaimed, but I don't know how to cook ! and she snaps what do you think? by doing all this you'll make us glad? I won't even touch it it's , dust to us dust! so throw this all outside ,otherwise I'll do it! she threatens.. and he glares down dangerously at her with narrowed lion like eyes..
