Hammie's Impressions ~ep24~3.8.17 Read meaning into..
Once a while if not often, we read meaning into situations that may be contrary to what they are intended to be. It's based on how we interpret and understand, a scenario, something or people as well. Our perception, may give a whole new meaning to something, where an additional or unintended meaning is attributed to something. Giving situations and characters a different meaning then intended, is a popular ploy used to create conflict in fiction. Today's episode to me deals with issues where characters, infer or read between the lines..giving another dimension to issues, than what is meant to be..
All the better to see.. Shilpa binoculars from a vantage point, hint to the truth Advay seeks about Shakun. He tries reading between the lines to her secretive manner. Lots going on undercover that needs exposing, her clandestine meeting with someone? On the road in the car with PP. Chandni too is on a secret mission.. within another secret date with PP.. The rain symbolically means, Chandni wants Advay's truth to be exposed. The reference to time shows.. Chandni's determination in doing as much as she has planned in the short time she has. Certain sense of thrill is created..along with mock humour at PP, who misinterprets Chandni's impatience! and keenness to get to the guest house!
Guest house.. the hot spot sought by Advay, PP, Chandni with their respective hidden agendas .Chandni's real motive remains a secret from one track mind PP, so her entry into the guest house is through the window. Smartly she plays on PP's passion for her purpose. Time is short, she has to act, while PP lusts for her imaginatively, Chandni makes good use of pottering about looking for some truth about Advay. For Advay too, time matters.. he too is desperate to get to the guesthouse! Save Chandni from PP? While he races down in his car, Chandni goes through his study! anything to get Advay thrown out of the house! One locked drawer convinces her what she seeks is there! sheer presence of mind, a recollection of tricks Dev taught her ways to unlock! her hairpin! The drawer opens! So does her heart fondly for her Dev.. she cries out had he not been here, can't think what would become of her.. alas! She gets a pack, but fails to note the old photo of Dev and her! closes the drawer like a buried memory. While the adult Dev walks towards the guest house!! If only Chandni can unlock her memory too, that Advay just might be her adult Dev? Chandni literally drags PP out of the guest house. Nothing happens between them much to PP's disappointment, yet PP becomes Chandni's decoy so she can find ammunition against Advay.They just miss the approaching Advay. Fate makes her leave a clue her pallu gets caught on a stuck out nail!..run she may from Advay.. look for ploys to have him thrown out of her life! But in more than many ways she is nailed on to him! although at the present moment in time, she senses not the smart of the nail.. his fact of being her Dev!
Chandni's roka! an event with a broad canopy of pomp and circumstance! Yet under it's glitzy glamorous celebrations many dark seedy secrets are rife! not quite seen by the naked eye. Characters true identities are seen by some and hidden from others! Advay returns to his study seems unaware of strange visitations. Nothing seems moved. At Vashist houses Shakun meets a heavily disguised man she awaits. Shilpa keeps vigil, continues to be Advay's all watching eyes around the Vashists .The heart shaped balloon and the single red rose the disguised stranger holds, spell of some extra marital Shakun sports!
Chandni returns from her mission, mills in with her sisters as if she never even went missing! But then some guilt strays on her face as Indrani approaches. Chandni feels quite exposed before her mother. Finds it difficult to conceal truth from her. But Indrani is duped, all she wants is for her obedient daughter Chandni to get ready for the ceremony. Maybe Indrani tries to read between the lines? As she knows her daughter's heart is not in the alliance. But truly Indrani only wishes to milk her daughter's loyalty for a secure life for her family! Noble, that's how Indrani is perceived by Chandni at least!
Veer's arrival and motive in the Vashist house is completely a scenario where meaning is taken into consideration as it appears. He misleads PP and Chandni's mothers into being one he is not. But Shika recognises him for who he is and creates a violent scene with him. Smashes his photography equipment, which again Chandni and her sisters assume belongs to him but really its PP's.. the irony is whether the camera is broken or not! the sisters understanding regards Veer is a camera with its shutter down! Worse still in a fit of frenzy Shika assaults Veer with the tripod pole instead it misses Veer! and catches PP on the side of his neck!
Once again Chandni's roka faces a precarious situation,as PP s mother yet again feels let down by the three demented sisters, namely Chandni, Meghna and shika. Veer's identity is revealed as PP's mothers best friend's son!which again he's not! Indrani very nearly blows her top! Commands Shika to apologize to Veer to keep intact Chandni's alliance. The back to back triad of Chandni , Shika and Meghna , seen as 3-D Image. Two are now rebels with a cause!! Chandni and Shika! manhaters! Hell bent on expelling two men from their life! Two men, Advay and Veer , who somehow have wormed their way into their house!! Chandni is keen not to procrastinate with the process.They need to act now! rather than defer!
The final scene.. PPs cold compress on his scratched neck is the ideal opportunity where PP is at liberty to spin dirty yarns that wild feline chandy is responsible! His winding up rubbish, turns Advay's passion cold towards Chandni .. stiffly with a clenched fist! scowl faced Advay walks away from a gloating PP . In the audience our hearts bleeds for the lone smarting figure of Advay..how he chides himself.. stay on task! Destroy Chandni not forge bonds with her !she can do whatever she wants with PP !he needs to be purpose driven ,hurt Chandni ! Hamlet53 4.8.17
Interesting episode ,in the sense.. that situations and characters are all seeing things that are not as they seem. Thus contrary conclusions are perceived. Tomorrow.. Chandni and Advay will use the emotion of hate to deny and blot out their feelings for each others..
