IKRS Wednesday 13th January 2016 ep 136 My Take
Today's episode is universal in nature as illness and death are conditions all humans go through. In one's lifetime every one comes across a time when they lose a loved one.The episode deals with a sudden calamity that befalls a loved. Poignant scenes of how family and friends hold on to each other for support are best portrayed. Human behavior is seen in terms of dealing with emotional trauma. Waiting for positive results. Being left in the expert hands of the medical team ; banking on faith and finally accepting the regrettable out come and above all dealing with the loss of a loved one .. are areas that the cvs pick upon and present in today's episode..
Tripurari returns to the safe haven of his home. He flusters, is plagued by images of gagging .. as he's killed Shambu instead of Dashrant . He needs to cover his tracks, he deletes Kanak's messages on his phone. Lays down to rest beside his sleeping wife. He will not be implicated in any way he has an alibi ..his loving wife who will vouch for him he was home all night..
In hands of the experts, up at the hospital the obvious question is what happened to Shambu? MI could be a possibility that couldn't be ruled out.. even though Viplav informs the doctor his father didn't suffer from heart disease, and next thing doctor says is to pray. The experts opinion has to be accepted that present day even the well can suffer an MI.. ordinarily the mention of heart attack is enough for the family to go to pieces ..and sure enough dadi falls to bits, weeps fearfully in the strong arms of Shambu's son Viplav! who stands strong as a fortress, while his sister weeps and his mother stands numb..but Kanak cannot blot out the scheme that it was her brain child which she shared with Tripurari that's it's babu ji she wants ticked.. how the act was to be done; he would do it as both had scores to settle with him.. for him his illegitimacy and for her to forever remove the barrier who encourages the union of Dhani and Viplav.. Tripurari.. was reluctant but she convinced him... but now what? muses Kanak it's all gone wrong.. this waiting is killing in itself.. Kanak looks at her daughter , at his mother andbabu ji weeping like a baby.. all his life Shambu fell short in his eyes.. and now he weeps.. muses Kanak... you should have been in his place.. Viplav gathers dadaji, a visibly broken father..
Then this wait is over ,expectant eyes fall upon the doctor in the hope of some positive news..but they are told Shambu has gone into a coma.. further twelve hours wait, but things point that he was involved in a strenuous scuffle ,that may have prompted the MI.. Dashrant loses it, and bad mouths the doctor! Viplav contains dada ji and apologizes on behalf of his dadi ji.. Kanak grinds her teeth , possibly at Tripurari for roughing up her maimed husband ,and bad enough ,at the wrong target!
It gets too much for Viplav , one look at his traumatized dadaji, another look at his weeping dadi.. he gives Dhani a look then turns and walks off for a breather Dhani follows him... finds waiting chairs, sits on them and begins to weaken .. his eyes get tearful ,his mouth quivers and his voice cracks with intense emotional pain.. and Dhani holds his hand and he admits, it happened so fast ,didn't even have time to think.. he cries.. pinches the bridge of his nose and sniffs back his tears, and sobs, it's the first time she's seeing him like this.. he sighs, gulps and continues in his cracking guttural voice.. he tried so very hard to gather himself.. he wipes a tear , but dadi ,maa ,dada ji.. seeing them.. and he holds his head down and presses his eyes to stop the floods of tears.. sniffs and gathers himself and turns to Dhani.. broken and helpless Dhani.. what will he do now? his voice breaks as he shakes his head, he can't understand what to do? everything happened so fast.. will she pray.. and tearfully he turns his face the other way and weeps like a baby.. she pulls him and he hides his tearful face in his palms.. and sobs uncontrollably.. Dhani presses his arm and consoles him , he mustn't cry ,all will be well.. papa will be fine.. she will pray to god and he ods as he pulls himself with tearful eyes.. and continues in a broken voice .. he was fine this morning.. and Viplav leans to his side rests his head on her shoulder , and weeps bitterly .Dhani feels the side of his face, and then tenderly rests the side of her head against his.. and cries.. bitterly and silently two souls beside each other supporting each other ,united in pain..The worth of the scene lies in it's universal appeal, it's a situation which many may have gone through.. dealing with unexpected trauma of perhaps a parent. The situation forces Viplav to show his helpless and broken down side, suddenly he is not the strong fortress he wants himself to be.. but he is open to support and all the comfort offered to him by the girl he loves.. he needed her support, that's why he looked at her as he left.. he needed to off load his brewing grief..
Not only does a patient's family deal with the sudden illness and critical state of a loved one ..they also have to deal with visitors who consider themselves as well wishers how ever unwanted they may be. But according to norms, peoples sympathies have to be accepted graciously.. Tripurari and Suvarna fall in this category .. they turn up much to both Viplav and Kanak angst.. Some relatives also panic.. and wish to offer their concerns as soon as possible , with little regards to the a patient's condition or the hospital rules.. Dulari panic monger is one such person ,and also in her panic she questions whether Dhani is auspicious for the Tirpathi household as Viplav got badly hurt and now his father is in hospital..inderani tells her off for her paranoia!
The waiting goes on at the hospital.. but the visitors arrive.. Dhani's family and the actual murderer struts in.. Kanak glares at him .. Tripurari.. hangs around with the rest of the families.. Hate him though.. what can Kanak say about him? that he has done this to her husband? Tripurari knows well that Kanak will keep her mouth shut as she is the one who orchestrated all that has come to pass..
The doctor arrives and the bad news is given to the family.. Shambu could not be saved.. Kanak loses it! no it can't be and they all run to his room.. but Viplav turn's slowly and walks away from the room where his father lay.. he looks without direction, phased out, his legs just carry his limp frame ,Dhani runs after him ,where is he going.?where is he going? she calls again and grabs his arm to stop him. He does stop , his face and eyes as if in trance ..but he replies distantly, she said she'd pray for babba.. he says, it didn't work ,she grabs his shoulder and cries, she did.. she did! she nods, and he stares at the ground and his voice cracks.. then why did he do this to his babba? and he folds his arm and begins to cry like a boy for his father.. for whom he would always be a little boy.. why did god this to his babba? and he pulls his lips down and cries bitterly, Dhani tells him, let's go to the rest but he refuses, he can't bear to see his father in such a state.. he won't goo! and his knees give way and she supports his head on on her shoulder then embraces his back as she too kneels on the hospital floor..
Behind them the body arrives on a stretcher ready to be discharged. Dhani turns to look and so does Viplav.. one look at his mother at the head of the stretcher... Strengthens the son, he hauls himself like a wounded lion and broken and dispirited the lion heart son walks towards the stretcher, hugs his dada ji then moves his spaced out mother stands before her and heads the body.. ready to take his father home..
Farewell babaa..viplav sits dressed in white supported by a column.His father's body lay on the floor in a shroud under flowers ,ready for the cremation. But before that according to the rituals Kanak has to change into a white sari. She is highly traumatized and vehmemtly rejects the transformation from married woman to widowhood.. Viplav closes his eyes. Kanak screams, she refuses to look like the widows of the Ashram she is not one of them! and she savagely throws the white sari that her daughter shalu brings for her.. Viplav startles and sees the heaped white sari on the floor! he watches his mother's trauma, gulps and remains silent..This scene is about the next section of trauma that a bereaved wife has to deal with.. it's bad enough in this case that Kanak has lost her husband. Her whole status as a person ,her role too changes drastically it's like short and sharp and swift!.. can the process be spaced ? between death and burial.. but I can see according to various faiths it cannot be possible , also the sooner the body is either buried or cremated., decomposition is avoided.. I know with Kanak it's a bitter sweet situation.. that she deserves it.. but to me the transition from death of a loved one to the white sari.. immediately seems frightening.. is this what the cv's wish to show..?
It was a sad episode for obvious reasons. The king of expressions was undoubtedly Mishal Raheja.. such a fine emotive actor every feature of his face tells a story .today his tears as Viplav made me weep as I recalled six years ago I loved him for the doomed persona he played. Mishal continues to remain for me the best male lead.. I have come across on India entertainment.. Hamlet53. 14.1.16..
