IKRS Saturday 30th July 2016 ep 318 My Take ~ The sooner the better !
One uses this phrase when one thinks something should be done as soon possible. There is ring of urgency around the phrase. A certain desperation to catch a moment in time before it fleets away like the blinking of an eye lid. The image of passing time is prevalent, which creates a certain helplessness in its overtaking feature for us, as we realize time oversteps us and waits for no one. As humans we are prisoners in our time zones and our every move is determined by its every tick tock. The episode today spells out the need for an action to be taken .For if ignored presently ,it might not happen for the next four months according to the faith calendar. So fate wise can it be said then, that this is an auspicious omen for both families? The auspicious occasion is Dhani and parshiya's marriage that by some stroke of destiny has been brought forward by a day.
For Parshiya it's too good to be true his marriage will be solemnized right away! As his mother panics what of arrangements and preparations ?he sets her right almost with a hidden now or never type of serene panic! But he manages to convince her with an intelligent argument that Dhani is not into ostentatious, gaudy affairs. How well Parshiya recognizes her simplicity and staid composure. It's clear apart from this knowledge about Dhani that Parshiya as far as marrying her is concerned keeps any delaying tactics at bay. He is astute and has gathered Dhani appears restrained.. it is not shyness. Parshiya continues to fear what he knows. She still loves Viplav.. how deep then is Dhani's love for Viplav? For Parshiya if only time flies through with all the rituals! just whizz by! so he can marry Dhani as soon as possible. Back in Banaras kamini the demonic witch has evil eyes on Dhani and Viplav. Her spies crawl every where one in the chawl provides her a minute to minute live coverage of Dhani's big day, ensuring Viplav keeps clear of the occasion till its over and done with! the other of her network of spies follows Viplav in his travels to Dhani's ghetto. Kamini is like a disturbed restless puppet in the hands of time! She frantically struggles and combats to keep the hands of the clock under her control! tries ensures Viplav's arrival at the ghetto does not coincide with the timings of Dhani's wedding! Alas! Kamini the evil one deludes herself that time is be a slave in her hands but rather make her dance to its tune of time's ravages!
While Parshiya counts the seconds to marrying Dhani. Dhani is in floods of tears as she sits before the mirror. As the minutes tick away Dhani's mind progressively is muddled up. She complains why her wedding has been brought forward? it was meant to be tomorrow. Dulari is busy dressing Dhani up.. if only as a mother she can see the how lifeless and nonchalant her daughter appears . Dulari retorts it makes no difference when her marriage takes place tomorrow or better still today .Dulari has a cold short! sharp! shrift! reaction .Basically the sooner the better it has to go ahead ! besides the decision has been taken in Vidha's interests and not hers! Dhani asks her mother about Anshuman her father as she wishes to talk to him. But for Dulari settling Viplav's daughter seems more significant to her than to fulfill her own daughter's gap of fatherhood in her life. Even today when Dhani asks about her father Dulari turns a deaf ear. she will keep her own daughter deprived of her father like she kept Dhani all these life. It was justified before but now that Dhani's alread met her father, to discourage her from meeting Anshuman sounds downright cruel! coming from Dulari . Complete double standard parenting.
But like a show goes on! looks like Dhani weds Parshiya is about to happen too. While Parshiya shakes a leg! gyrates to the rhythms of the delightful local touch of the lavni pulsating dancers. Most enjoyable addition by the cvs must have to say! Viplav the uninvited guest heads for the wedding of the year which he fails to predict! Dhani is still in a quandary about whether to marry or not to marry? tarry a while Dhani !Viplav is on his way.. kamini may create hurdles in his way. But he is still on route to you Dhani. Is that why she goes and checks Viplav's letter where he releases her with the brief to marry Parshiya? .But Dhani takes it as a yes to marrying Parshiya! yet her soul and heart are at logger heads with her mind!
He will marry Dhani today ,but is she good enough for her? Parshiya was always plagued by a gap between him and her. They are chalk and cheese! Makes me wonder then why is he marrying her? is it because he is the dependable ever present option there, for her daughter and her mum loves him too.. but does Dhani love him too? That he needn't worry about, Parshiya muses with his mates.. all he needs is his sincere love for Dhani and Vidha that is enough. But how will Parshiya stop tongues from wagging tongues that question the difference between Parshiya's blas lifestyle and Dhani's which requires reasonable maintenance! Parshiya may marry Dhani but he sure will have to pull his socks up to pay for Vidha's education before his community concludes that Dhani's, needs and wants were more likely to be met by a man like that vakeel her first husband! For Parshiya catering to Dhani's needs now will be a matter of honor!
..and our man Viplav! by hook or by crook! come rain, hail, wind or storm makes it to the colorful festive ghetto! Neither Kamini nor her hired mole can stop him from being where Viplav's destined to be! Dulari is not into wasting time what's meant to be needs to be done without further delay! How ever Dhani continues to have her doubts regards her fresh marriage to parshyia. But nothing that a motherly hug can't solve with a, just get on with it attitude!! from Dulari who to me just wants to get rid of her daughtesap!
Dulari takes the lamb for slaughter.. here comes the bride! While her ex,the man whom she loves till date! enters the precinct with a song in his heart I am coming to you my love! The festive look and the arrangements engage him! Looks like he's in for some celebration.. he misses seeing Dhani the third time bride, being brought to the marriage altar.. from then on Dhani is mute , deaf and dumb ..but her eyes are alive.. they search for her love..her vakeel babu ,her rakhshas.. her viplav! Viplav is curious to see what's happening so he too blends in behind the crowd.. Dhani's eyes expand she senses her love , Ishq ,Ishq , Ishq her heart strums , the colour of their Ishq is white. Viplav strains his neck to look in the direction where the rest of the crowd looks. The ceremony begins.. Vidha alerts her father! to the proceeding Crashhh! accidently she drops the platter with the grooms gifts! Viplav sees it all!! His flower fairy opens his eyes to reality! Dulari passes Dhani's hand over to Parshiya; rings are exchanged! Viplav eyes behold the colour of his ishq is in kamini's words .. she won't come running into your arms Viplav.. Dhani has moved on..Viplav's eyes hold tears of sorrow..Dhani.. he whispers, it still resounds in all his being..
Just as well there is an interval between the ring ceremony and the actual wedding. No force can stop him from seeking an audience between him and the two girls in his life! Dhani and his daughter Vidha chat .. he walks into the one to one conversation between Dhani and Vidha .. Vidha only wants to know if after the lagan her babaa will turn into her papa?? Viplav comes into the room.. Vidha exclaims demon uncle!!! She runs and hugs him.. where did he vanish?? Dhani gets a shock of her life... Viplav... my Viplav her eyes expand and Viplav eyes seethe with pain, why Dhani ? why? couldn't you wait Dhani..? such a hurry you are in.. Viplav's gaze says it all.. he breaks his hug with his child... he needs to talk to her mum... as Vidha leaves .Viplav exercises his right over Dhani ,bolts the door. She fears him not. A degree of trust still remains in her heart for him.. he won't harm her. Viplav stares at Dhani . A bride? Ah yes .. he recalls all the dramatic scenes she had acted out, let it be known Parshiya here is her husband! and she loves only Parshiya!! Now with expanded eyes she cries out with concern ,where did he go? if he had to return then why did he leave?? Viplav blanks off her mock concern stares at her bridal attire and wants to know, so she wants all that's going on? This bridal out fit the gold ornaments.. it blinds her love for him? Bitterly he mocks her.. had she told him he would have weighed her gold! Dhani is stunned by his words.. how can he think she marries this time for worldly wealth?? He knows her not! Viplav bows his head, a lump in his throat, tears in his eyes.. his voice cracks as replies it's just that he never anticipated she would remarry again. So it's as if the penny drops for him.. a small realization .. did he take Dhani for granted?.. there is more to this than meets the eye... did he ever know her well enough?
Well the last scene is quite a revelation for me.. Viplav sounds just like Dashrant , his power, ,status.. speak words that echo his grandfathers lingo! flaunting wealth.. weighing gold against the mass of a person.. actually reducing and taking off the persons worth while adding on the gold nuggets of their respectability !! For Viplav weighing Dhani in this case means putting the strength of her character on the scales! It's a complete mockery slapping a price on her moral fiber, spirit and quality! By claiming that Dhani wanted gold he mocks her.. he with intent ignores her Ishq.. because her Ishq now holds his Ishq open for debate. Was its colour ever white..? pure love.. without class distinction... for me the story has just begun.. Viplav needs to get rid of his gremlins.. his doubts did Dhani ever love him? that he never knew.. Hamlet53 31.7.16
Precap: well Dhani gives him as good as she gets.. he cannot manipulate her like a puppet .. but she tells he's the one to tell him to marry Parshiya ..but Viplav commands now don't marry him.. so kamini fake letter .. being exposed is covered up??? Viplav is not interested ,he tells Dhani go ahead .. as far as he's concerned he's finished.. won't be an obstacle in her happiness.
