IKRS Wednesday 16th December 2015 ep 111 My Take
Viplav Tirpathi the young stud with a multiple faceted persona, is one blessed bloke who is clearly favored by the gods in heaven.Where once he is going through the phase of plummeting in the pool of a vulnerable widows love! a notion he flippantly rejected when his dear friend suggested he fancied the feisty widow Dhani.. Viplav had a while ago rejected, the thought that why?in the whole wide world only a widow was meant for him? an improbability by all means! yet it looks like the gods in heaven decided who the best fit match for Viplav would be! the very same feisty vulnerable widow Dhani it will be! now she grows on him like the sense of well -being itself! The sight of Dhani , her words, scathing or soothing! transport him into unexplored areas of himself! Viplav is in love! but alongside the deities also endow him with a keen discerning eye and a pragmatic mind! he is a practical romanticist! Who believes in nipping things in the bud rather than delay! Hence one look at the poster! what difference did it make if they were their missing or wanted posters! their pictures were enough to have sniffer dogs coming after them for choice cuts of meat and bones!
Viplav goes to the phone at the nearest kiosk , makes it look like he had to talk to his dada ji and check out the meaning of these posters? of course he was aware they were out of order due to the roadworks disaster.. but the real reason is to block off the poster breaking news from spreading. So surreptitiously he peels off the first poster, rolls it and blocks the news. As a matter of urgency he needs to scour the area and peel off the rest of the posters, but hell! the two ladies in his care turn up and he pulls a fast one when Piya suggests lets grab something to eat , no you two go home !and I'll bring something for you and follow shortly! he orders , but Dhani of all the times decides to show affection for him. No you come with us to.. that does it! and he gives it to her! irate with flashing eyes told you go so go! Piya stares at his face, whooa! seems desperate and means it to! hence they leave. and Viplav peels off posters frantically as far as his eye could catch! While the goons look around like lost buffalos! In rhe bustle of he city!
One more poster within public view and Viplav stubs that news too! this is ridiculous ! god knows how many people have already checked this out? how many people know their truth? he ponders as he looks don at the poster, what the hell! where else am I supposed to go pulling them off? the walls, the place seems riddled with them! and what if Dhani sees it she'll worry for sure! no cannot let her see it !till I find out who's behind this sordid deed? he growls ..
Well well! what do you know! every bit! a pack of lies! Piya challenges Viplav! who looks stunned .. damn! off all the people it had to be her to find out the truth! thinks Viplav.. how to get around this smart cookie ? he figures out as he faces her accusations, I saw you ,knew it! all of you men are the same liars! she tells him straight! and now you wait and watch! how I'll expose the poster and your truth to everybody inside the house and she turns to enter the boundary of her home.. Viplav, you have to conjure up some story ! some tale! some argument to turn the tide of affairs ..muses Viplav
Romeo and Juliet! He calls out and Piya turns perplexed, what? and the lawyer begins his argument ,heer ranjha!, Viplav Dhani.. what is the similarity in these stories? Piya replies , that apart from your tale the others are immortal lovers! and Viplav points out pensively ,no ours is very similar too..like those stories, our families are against our love too.. that's why Dhani and myself had to take such a step that you hold in your hands! she peers up into his face and retorts,..mind you there is one stark difference these lovers became famous after their death.. but we don't want to rise to fame , or want attention ,all we want is to spend the rest of our lives in a simple, ordinary manner.. that's why I am requesting ,don't show this paper inside.. Piya further clarifies and does what Viplav wants her to do, assess the situation ..you mean to say you married against the wishes of your families ,and for that you are being hunted? viplav nods innocently!..and adds in all earnestness , yes that's correct , but please don't tell anybody inside about all this.. especially Dhani! for Viplav it's still a thorn in his side that he has yet not been able to tell Dhani his real sentiments that he has for her..and Piya exposing the poster would jeopardize what she feels for him. She might end up feeling that she's the last one to know that he holds a special place for her in his heart.. too much has happened between them and he fears , learning from the poster might make him lose his Dhani..please don't tell Dhani.. she'll worry , but to a free spirited open minded girl like Piya their love story seems an adventure! Your families are against your marriage , you ran away and got married! and now they are looking for you both! how terribly exciting she screams! and Viplav hushes her down , quiet , before someone hears of this.. and then we'll get it! he begs and she assures him his secret is safe with her! but fascinated by this man ,she asks him , you must love Dhani a lot to take such a big risk for her sake? and Viplav has FBs of earlier moments when he met her..saved her every time her life was in danger and the fun times.. his eyes turn fuzzy and dreamy at the very mention of her name, her thoughts .. and before this total stranger, who feels like a well wisher ,a supporter of their love ,he confesses his love for Dhani so easily and smoothly.. yes I love her tremendously .. went to the ashram to teach her how to live life, but in turn she changed my life completely.. just want her to be happy , can't see her sad.. Piya is so touched by Viplav's words that she in turn confesses too.. wow! I am so impressed by you two , that even I too have started to believe in love! and Viplav laughs ..It baffled me , how can a man love a woman so much? but you it seems really love Dhani, no doubts about it that you are true loves! and I really wish no one comes between you two! and Piya hands Viplav the scrolled poster.. she smiles and leaves as Viplav looks up and gives thanks to the deities ..the gods smile at him indeed , this shirty ,bolshie girl turns out to be a cloud with a sliver lining..
But the gods, plague evil minds with confusion and discourse. tripurari racks his brains where ishe likely to find them.. his goons find a man who thinks he might have seen the couple , they were not from the area.. but Tripurari cannot go to area where they might be ,as the roads were blocked due to maintenance work ..so heaven sent hurdles for evil doers! and protection for the righteous.
They certainly look the pair of spouses. .its end of the day ,electric power cut due to landslide . while Viplav sits subdued and preoccupied on the bed.. Dhani lights candles around the room.. the soft lights, flicker and warms her heart for concern for him.. it's not normal for him to be quiet, she moves around the room making light.. she asks, you looked worried in the bazaar , has something happened ? Viplav worries hope she didn't see any of the posters? No Viplav you can't tell her the reason cover up. Each flame ignites more concern towards him..The flames flicker and she wants to be in the light about the reason for his quiet.. Viplav, worries about the poster, will Piya squeal anyway..? he needs to tell Dhani how he feels about her.. how easy it was to admit before Piya ,then why can't right now! what in the bazaar? No I wasn't worried! it's just that it was getting dark.. wanted you to reach home early ,that's all!, Then the glow of the low lights of the candles warm dhani's heart and tenderly she asks him if he was well? he says ,yes fine, and then gets up from the bed, walks away and she says it's just that since morning you've been talking like a stranger, wayward talk.. so I thought you were not well.. and he mumbles something and then turns to face her with an exuberant smile like wait till you hear what I tell you ..dhani.. for many days I've been trying to tell you something.. he says looking down at his hands, I ..you.. and she waits for him to continue.. and he takes a deep breath in , musters up courage when a gust of wind blows into the room! snuffs the candles and the room becomes dark.. Viplav rolls his head looks up in frustration and then looks her in the dark. and she closes the window and begins to light up candles again.. but the wind blows again and tries to snuff the flame but now Viplav too kneels beside her and cups his hand and shields the flame from snuffing out.. dhani goes around lighting candles once again and Viplav moves along with her shielding the flame from going out.. silently it takes two to keep the light of love burning .. Viplav seizes the romantic ambience and whispers tenderly.. Dhani and she turns to him , humm..and all smug in the face he smiles .. I erhhh... she asks tenderly , you hungry ,why didn't you say so, instead of beating around the bush, wait I go get some food and she leaves he rolls his eyes and shakes his head in despair for himself.. with a mock crying face..
Malkin embraces Dhani and offers many thanks to her and to Viplav as well.. she was well pleased today that your love has motivated Piya into thinking that how much love a man is capable of giving a woman. Dhani looks suspiciously at viplav who becomes all angelic faced..mailkin says, she told me what you think about Dhani ..and Dhani looks puzzled.. she glares at Viplav who rolls his eyes, and Piya traipses in and hugs are grandma who says looking at Viplav .. really she is so impressed by both of you! and Viplav giggles nervously .. nooo it's nothing ,like that as Dhani gives him a confused look.. Sarla comes in with the laundered clothes and question Dhani point blank why do you wear clothes like a widow ? Viplav and Dhani get embarrassed.. kaki says a married woman shouldn't be wearing clothes like this sari.. you wore when you came covered with mud.. Piya looks at Viplav and reckons they use this as some kind of a disguise from being recognised and she jumps to help before Dhani could answer.. kaki actually it's my sari I used in a play where I was in the role of a widow! and this wonderful girl saves the day for Viplav and Dhani.. Sarla and Dhani are both confused and when kaki and dadi leaves Piya takes Dhani's hands and consoles her I know you do this hide from your families ,dress like a widow , what a brilliant idea! and both Viplav and Dhani clap each others palm and Dhani looks terribly confused.. a light hearted scene that defines further that Piya will be a figure who will help Dhani and Viplav to come together rather than divide ..the joke is on Dhani who is totally in the dark about what's going on? but Viplav suddenly does his performance laughs on the outside, grabs Dhani's hands and says with sharp glares, Dhani! you don't need to say anything told her how much I love you! despite that our folks are against our marriage and how we eloped!! Dhani just listens to him flabbergasted.. malkin brings the good news that the roads have reopened. Viplav regrets how will he tell Dhani he loves her? outside Tripurari drives past the house Viplav and Dhani are in ..
Malkin expresses ,that Viplav and Dhani's stay was to short ,when they leave, the house will seem very empty without out them as they felt just like family . Sarla suddenly says it's married womens festival Dhani cannot leave without celebrating this.. it is decided Dhani would dress as a bride to celebrate this occasion, Viplav would get the needful and meet malkin ,Piya and Sarla at the mandir.. Dhani is reluctant but Viplav says she's landed herself in this situation ..as Dhani was the one who said to live the lie.. Dhani is reluctant for Viplav to go on his own.. he asks her she doesn't have to go through this married woman worship..as they don't have to act.. but she says it's fine.. but has an unknown fear to see Viplav leave.
Tripurai roughs up the man when he can't find Viplav and Dhani.. Viplav is s potted in the bazzar buy puja material for a married woman.. he tells the shop keeper who serves him to serve him spiked tea.. Tripuri informs Dashrant Viplav has been sighted buying a married woman's puja material..
I enjoyed the episode today, was a mix bag .. peaceful.. the candle light scene was soothing..dhani's concern seemed so real.. she has a good heart this girl.. felt sorry for her when the two city dwellers took her for a ride..best scene was when she clearly seems reluctant to see him go the market on his own.. a premonition when he turns to look back at her.. had a strange feeling... like lambi judai..? hamlet53 17.12. 5
