Ah Catch you by the collar - I am going by the literal meaning today
Now now..such an apt Title ..at least for me . The highlight in this episode was a dapper Viplav / Mishal in Black and my thought was to catch him by the collar , bring him close , very close and 🤬 . BUt you are the sensible one Hammie keeping a reign on your emotions and finding meaning and details which we all miss. A thumbs up to you for keeping us honest.
As for the episode which i thought was loaded with symbolism . Do the writers go that deep or is it us that find a layer that does not exist . @aimf wrote a beautiful take and so did others finding finer points that make you rethink the 20 mins of execution. Like you all me too found a few links that were interesting.
First of course is the entire wedding ceremony happening with a sort of replica at the Ashram. Kanak's two children getting married , one she is aware of and the other she is not. While a mehendi is conducted at AN Viplav & Dhani conduct a private ceremony of their own . Viplav starts the sangeet at his end while RL begins her merriment for her frend at hers. Dhani wanting to be part of all the functions , after all its her SIL's wedding and Viplav making sure that she is included in everything. Shallu's wedding is all pomp and show with a man who cannot be trusted and a secret ( already happened ) wedding of Viplav with no fineries to a girl who thinks nothing but the welfare of his family. The cheesy "Do jism ek jaan .." settled in and was able to see a bigger picture of the events . Indeed Viplav & Dhani are so attuned in their thoughts and need for each other.
And the most symbolic of all was the "tearing of the kurta " I for one have never heard of this ceremony . @Dolly called it - Viplav tearing raja apart ...You describe it as - Viplav lays bare his chest ...and me - Disrobing Raja in public. Raja on the other hand takes this to mean "Wait saale sahib when the news of Dhani being Suman breaks your heart into two ..." Again a contrast for the audience . Will Viplav support Dhani or will he not ... !!! It should n't be very long before we get to know this.
With the end game you are concerned about its outcome on Shallu , she is the daughter of the house. While she is worthy of compassion and empathy , to me she is a model for women and young girls who hinge their lives on finding a suitable partners for themselves. Girls who not by their own fault have no confidence or the support to do something worthwhile with their existence . Shallu has not been allowed to make her own choices nor does she understand Raja's disregard of her . She has been ridiculed by her own mother and finds marriage to be her escape. Will Shallu reject the marriage when she knows about Raja or will she blame Dhani ? How different is she from Suvarna who decided to marry Trip despite his faults . will shallu become stronger and self aware after the breakup ( if that happens ) . I very much doubt it and that to me is why I don't feel sorry for her. Life teaches lessons and this is her opportunity to learn one. I for one am such a such a supporter of women standing up for themselves ...Sorry if I sound unsympathetic for this character.
That's all from me Hammie. A couple of small points . kanak has quietened lately and I like her latest getup. Looks very dignified. Dhani in red saree was so simple and plain loved her And of course Lord of the manor - As i said in the start looks delicious.
Talk to you soon. Hugs.
Adding sura's link to make my point ; Woohooo
