In faith and belief it celebrates the love, attraction , mirth, joy of youth between a man and woman epitomized by the revered deities of Krishna and his beloved Radha. Young lovers look up to and aspire for Krishna and Radhha's pure true love.. Right from the moment of wooing each other to the fulfilment of their perpetual love. For some time now Chandni to marry PP has been well underway.
Chandni's marriage to PP is all set ,almost ready to be pulled off. How ever Advay, has from a distant kept an eye on the back and forth motion of this useful swing! of marrying Chandni into a wealthy family! Advay, assumes she is in the full swing of things ,and as such she'll have forgotten his multiple nationalities, handing him over to police he needn't worry he's still here..very much at home. Advay is another name for keeping his back covered! He works on the pretext ,when one is a lone man, one learns to fend for one's self ..especially in predictable stances, like the passports. His checks if Murli has got to the room to retrieve the passports? see even in much distractions Advay keeps his eyes open! don't blame him! he's surrounded by cheats! Within this fold double crossing is rife. Here family members bump into each other, conspire and plot ways to wreck marriages. Such an impious family the Mahants woe! to their hypocritical piety! He muses..
Yet in the swing of things, pre marriage jitters too happen! It's part of the marriage paraphernalia . Chandni's nerves fray.. she's a family girl like most to be married girls in some cultures. She is morose about parting from her sisters, her mother, her way of life. Now she's apprehensive of what the future holds for her? previously she knew not why girls wept when it was time to leave.. now in the swing of things, marriage seems unavoidable.. is she unhappy about marrying PP? Does her heart lie somewhere else? No she needs to remember who she's doing this deed. Her mother. It's what her mother desires off her. the sisters hug.. and Meghna leaves. The coast is clear and Murli sneaks into the room, mission smoke out the passports!
Advay balance swings! Veer bumps into him! fancy seeing him here! Advay tells him he owns the place ,with some strange reason , Veer says with brotherly rights.. it means the house belongs to him as well! Veer is lucky Advay recalls him as the chatterbox bloke .. who pulled his foot out of the plywood step.. yes he recalls with this boy's strength pooled along side his, they were able to hoist up the enormous idol of Lord Shiva.. like before this guy called him bro and like before Advay put Veer in his place reminding him they were mere strangers! But somehow.. as Dev, he recalls running through the corridors with Mikku. Veer is the kind of person you give him an inch and wants the yard! Plus this chatter box asks too many questions! like how is he related to the girl ? erhh.. Advay withheld what Chandni is to him.. and sauntered off.. Veer reckons when one hesitates to answer, means he's hiding something..Advay too muses, about this chap who he keeps bumping into from time to time.. he reckons if a man chatters nonstop. He's up to no good! Even in Advay's distant manner, and Veer overly familiar approach.. they send off a muffled warmth, that gives a silent signal of being blood brothers! It's hard to accept that although Dev meets his family. Yet he who barely fails.. fails to know his brother.. just doesn't cross his mind..
She swings his balance.. with her beauty, her guts and the back chat she gives him! here she goes again.. talk about being shameless! He's still about? she needs to call the boys in blue. Once and for all even if it falls on deaf ears, he's her would be husband! she'll send him to the station? He too knows his rights, this is his house, no one can expel him from here! Well his talk is life a red rag to a bull she throws the gauntlet .. she'll have him out its her challenge to him.. he turns round and challenges her watch my cute squirrel your ritual will go ahead... but with him!
Even in the full swing of things..Chandni's sisters are busy bodies.. restless to complete unfinished busy. Both the brothers Veer and Advay's ID's need verifying. Shika intends to give Veer laced laddos ,so he can reveal the truth about himself! The scene where Indrani gives her daughter a hug.is like a picture post card! Anyone can see she is a proud mother hen of her three chicks! one of which is her golden goose!
The swing itself is the centre of every one's attention.. its back and forth swinging.. sets the pendulum for Chandni and PP s future wedded life.. the attractive swing is enough to make Chandni's sisters dream of their own marriages.. as girls do. Chandni points out this event being her first one with PP.. her sister recall yes.. the engagement ceremony was tampered with, by ASR..without realizing Chandni too recalls the moment when his chunni thrown up in space landed of her head.. Chandni daren't even sense how she felt.. suddenly she wants to know where Advay is?? she hopes he doesn't mess around today. He must have gone by now , she reckons! Out of darkness ,comes a tall figure. All eyes are on him.. he snaps his fingers and all is lit up with stands of fairy lights! Advay certainly brings a twinkle in Indrani's eyes ,yes thanks him for his input in the festive decor..almost like the girl's brother! Her sisters giggle and Chandni catches Advay's roving eye that winks at her! So looks like Advay got the reason to linger on!
While people mill in as they do just before an important event.. PP meets Veer and brags about his money! Shika gives Veer the laced laddoo as a peace offering. He notes the sisters exchanging looks.. and makes an excuse and goes.. keeping his truth intact! Advay has his eyes on PP s every move.. as soon he seeks for Chandni's hand.. Advay kicks a soft drink bottle at Chandni's feet.. in reflex she bends to move the bottle and the second passes when PP was about to lay hands on Chandni.. Murli needs Advay's help he's found a locked casket.. the key needs to be found! Dev recalls how young Chandni kept things in caskets.. his past will always be at hand to lead him to his Chandni .. if only she knew what he knows..
The ceremony begins.. the swing symbolizes the true love of Krishna and Radha..and prayers and blessings are sought for Chandni and PP may their love grow like the deities. Indrani explains that when a husband calls out his wife's name for the very first time.. Advay calls out to Chandni! All are shocked but he smartly clears all misunderstanding by addressing Chandni.. listen carefully to what her mother is saying! Indrani continues ,and the manner in which the wife turns her head in response to her husband's call.. symbolizes she gets both her right, and love from her husband.
Where as the purity and sanctity of marriage is mentioned by Indrani .. kajal like married women do.. recall her own times at marriage ceremonies . she tells reminds her husband Ranjit when they sat on the jhula.. behind kajal's back.. Ranjit and Shakun hold hands! Making a mockery of their respective marriages! Shilpa notes two unfaithful people holding hands.. behind a simple faithful one. Both Shakun and ranjit stab her in the back..
Indrani asks Chandni to sit on the swing.. she looks defiantly at Advay lo like she is winning the challenge! Just when PP is about to sit beside her, on the swing. Advay presses the swings control in his pocket..with the lurch of elevation! PP is knocked off before he could rest his posterior! This was Advay's way to take a swing! At PP! With the glint of the devil in his eyes.. and with the pressure of his thumb on the control.. the pulley controlling the swing ascends higher. He glares, I will hoist you Chandni! high up in space out of the reach of selfish demands, lustful desires! You may commit to whoever Chandni but you belong to me! He turns to leave to help Murli seek the keys.. he hears Chandni's screams..help! I am afraid of heights!! He stops, recalls her vertigo.. fear of heights.. his passports will have to take second place! He thought while hoisting the bride in space on a swing.. would give him time.. now Chandni comes first, Advay offers to help! Which rudely Chandni refuses, she'd rather stay hanging up in space than accept his help! Indrani shuts her daughter up.. her golden goose and Advay takes flight!!... hamlet 53 8.6.17
Overall a pleasant event coverage.. but the cold war between the protagonists is still on. Advay has to retrieve his passports .. so he is busy.. giving instructions. The precap .. is when 004 becomes animated in the true sense of the word.. he had challenged her,but he forget about her fear of heights..its the kind of thing a lover would do to save his beloved fly to her rescue.. for us its willing suspension of disbelief.. I would like Advay desperate to protect her from danger.. for which he would do anything.. run on a moving train! Dive into the deep! not caring for his life! but hers! If it makes him look heroic.. then why not? who knows his risking his life just might make her see the Dev Chandni loves to this day.. a flying Advay ..Rabba ve !! lets see what new heights our Advay can scale.. can he conquer Chandni's heart?? Go with the swing!!
