ALERT : Its no way going to be a short post...
I have been hooked to Indian Television since Doordarshan days...have witnessed and studied its evolution...When K series & Balaji brought the new age romance,music and love to the screens,had loved it...they started it first giving us mermorable jodis...
But the Tenderness which I saw today, unbiasedly no show has ever portrayed it so beautifully on the small screen...No loudness,no Over the Top drama...only eyes and a hauntingly beautiful piece of music that did it all...
This was Arnav & Khushi's love story which they told us just in 2 minutes...beautiful is a lesser word !!!
For me it was a very special epi...so in no way will discuss the negatives...coz for me this show is about Entertainment and love it brings to my life...and this was the most special day of that show...so wont throw any eggs...
1) Raju Singh - has been one of my fave music directors always (since the Tum Aaye album days)..and since the day he mentioned in his interview about the new Rabba ve he was working on...I was just waiting for this...and he delivered it bang on...contemporary yet hauntingly beautiful...with a zing of the newness in it - old wine in new bottle !!!
2) Lights & Camera dept - Take a bow...since seeing the SBB/SBS segments was lil sceptical of hw Arnav will look on stage...coz that hadnt impressed me as much...but they brilliantly mesmerised me...
3) Reaction of the family members - The dance was very subtle for them to get the message...none of them had ever witnessed Arnav & Khushi's private moments and intensity to read under the lines...so reaction justified...for them the surprise element was their boy coming out...no OTT drama,loved it...(and boy I am so happy that Snake saw it)
4) I was praying that there'll be a dialogue btw them b4 the start of the dance...and it was so Dil To Paagal hai kind...I just jumped in delight - thanks LM sir
"Tumhara aakhri performance hai Khushi,
poora nahi karogi"
How far has Arnav come...
5) Dance - Aesthetically superb...this dance was never meant to be abt choreography...just enhancing the bonding and their tuned movements...Arnav was there to support her,not show his skills or compete...Loved each pose and movement...Poetry in motion
They openly made love on the stage in each other's eyes...the moment he said "Lafzon mein",her eyes was on his lips...and that touch on the waist...the motion...she had surrendered herself to him...there was no awkwardness once also thru out...just acceptance...
And just loved the combining of the scenes wid each present moment...their journey brought tears and smiles...and I know Khushi read the moistness in Arnav's eyes and the sense of satisfaction on his face, he felt when the audience clapped ,...
Oh ya loved it also that during the dance they didnt show anyone else...I was earlier bothered abt that...
6) Sanaya--- for me looked the most beautiful today since tbe beginning of the show...a la Yash Raj heroine...she was tender and composed in her performance...and amazing with her expresssions during dhak dhak and the last scene...
7) Barun- do I need to say anything...I was lil unsure of hw he'll look on stage and I cnt be any happier the way he looked...like the man of dreams...just stunning...today I can 101% say there has never been more handsome actor on Television...and gosh,his eyes speak...all the way...
And loved the way he handled the situaltion with his family...cool ASR in conflict with inner Arnav..."har baat haar jeet ki nahi hoti" ya right dude !!!
Checklist-
Dhak dhak back
They know wat they mean to each other - fadak padta hai
Nk noticed it
Snake charred
Tomorrow Scorpion bite finally
And ya I am not expecting any big time talk or confession tomorrow,if anything it will only be bonus...Kudos to the writers...they have given us 2 beautiful characters...Arnav and Khushi are both headstrong personalities...there will be softness yet denials tomorrow...
It was a 10/10 episode for me !!!!
P.S comments most appreciated...dnt get them much,so dnt know if am writing or just blabbering 😉
