IP REDUX ; BOND !! Relationships Bond ..

Hi Friends and Sisters,

Welcome to the first edition of IP REDUX !!... This thread is open for all and you are all welcome to share ur thoughts, ur views openly, freely and without any worries..No stipulation will be made on ur posts apart from the fact that it should not be abusive or hurting other members ... Our intention is to make this thread the spot for DISCUSSION !! Join in and enjoy the ride ...

A luke warm start to Monday'..A episode which is setting the stage for Saale-Jee-Go-Jee confrontation, Arnav-Khushi tug of war , Khushi unable to leave the house as she proclaimed , pointer that Anjali's brain has begun to pick cues & shyam may be worsted by his own mouth !!


Khushi has got the bit in her teeth and has begun to worry it ...Her instinct is bang on target but her mind is rejecting it...Will she overcome her innate stubbornness & begin to plough ahead or will she get diverted in mending the fences of other relations ...

Anjali has begun to pick on the throwaway clues , with the sharp and cunning Maami trailing like shadow..I am hoping that Anjali will soon get her fused bulb changed n begin to burn brightly ... Shyam is slipping..His glib tongue is not serving him well , he has begun to make mistakes ...Arnav saved Shyam this time around ..but he will not be around all the time ...The DVD was quite a stage setter for the ensuing acts to follow ..The DVD firmly pitted Maami against Buaji , set the next act namely the Kheer which will be a factor for stopping Khushi from leaving !!

I loved the way how the CV's are setting the scene for Khushi's action as well as preventing her from leaving .. A fiery Khushi cannot and will not take things lying down..Her values will rebel against the duplicity practiced by Arnav, her natural reaction would be to expose it and walk out ...That would be her trait and that shud be her reaction..Yet Khushi has to be stopped from leaving and a reason has to be provided ..That excuse can not spring from nowhere ..There has to be a logical progression leading to that excuse and that was the DVD !!

Time for self gloating 😉😆😆..I am super duper happy to see that the DVD acted as a foundation and not as a revelation ..That would have been cliched and too predictable ...Thank the CV's for keeping my faith intact also a pat in the back for myself for hollering out that the DVD was a red herring when there were zillion posts playing out on the impact of the DVD ...


Never was I so happy as the time I saw the glowering Abhaas. , Welcome back , Abhaas... your absence proved how vital Shyam is to ARHI's existence..without you things did not move !!

There was a shot in the DVD scene ..While Maami is accusing Payal and Buaji of conspiracy..Khushi stands behind.. the backbone to Payal, who will be there to bear the weight ...but when Akash holds Payal's hand..Khushi will be directly in line suggesting that Khushi's action will have a bearing on Payal's life...


Q1) After inviting his Jeej along with him [ostensibly to watch DVD, where did Arnav vanish ]

Q2) how did the Samosa's appear suddenly

Q3) Where was Nani ??


Maami runs away to her room, Payals peace offering of food is rejected and Payal is sent back curtly ..Payal exits with a leaky faucet , watched by an ineffectual plumber Akash and a ever helpful Nurse maiden Khushi ..Khushi offers the helpful suggestion that the way to Maami's haratwa is thru the Kheerwa ...Payal accepts Khushi's suggestion and begins to prepare the Kheer ...


This segment was special cuz it showed that Sisters have bonded and have accepted one another ...Payal's acceptance has imbued Khushi with a new energy , she has got her resilience, her optimism back which is of paramount importance when tackling a bitter Arnav !! ..We also got to see Khushi back to her form of fixing things instead of docilely accepting it...Khushi has begun to think of ways to solve problems..sooner she will get around to solving her own problem too..

Maami sends Anjali to verify the source of the delightful fragrance , Anjali comes in .. sees the Kheer cooking, orders Payal to keep some aside for Arnav, commands Khushi to give it to Arnav.. Khushi acquiesces, eager partly to find out the reason for that wounding words, partly since it is her duty.. ..

What is Anjali?/The Casper of IP..always hovering and flitting everywhere ... She glides to the kitchen,, she glides up the stairs ..She glides down the stairs...Loved DB's acting esp her tonal modulation when she speaks to Payal and Khushi..The note of reservation when she speaks to Khushi was just right ..I also liked the ceding and acknowledgment of Khushi's right over Arnav by Anjali ...Khushi by pouring a bowlful for Arnav and not for anyone else shows that she has accepted her rights .


Khushi tells Payal to keep an eye on the stove , leaves carrying the bowl to Arnav..while Payal not knowing that Khushi has left, tells her to switch off the stove and leaves without checking


Next comes the 'act' put on by Arnav to beguile his sister ..Arnav indulges in publicly showing off his love to Khushi who is fooled for a min , is stunned by his acts but soon realizes that all this is an act put on for the benefit of his sister ..Angry at being used , finding the deception repugnant Khushi storms at Arnav in anger ...Arnav does a Usain bolt, bolts away from the confrontation..


What started as a fake act of love turned into a genuine concern ..I loved the transformation in Barun's eyes ..The mask going away as soon as Khushi says "You were pretending "... Also liked the single minded pursuit of Khushi, She is determined to get answer ..she measn to get an answer ...I am liking the way the Cv's are taking it ...Pile the pressure on Arnav , forcing him to engage in acts of ' love' which in turn goads Khushi into further anger, her anger, irritation spiraling and who in turn will hook her claws into him , not letting him go until she gets her answers ..Arnav is facing the heat ...How long can he maintain the tight control? day by day it is getting difficult for him to rein in his emotions...I am waiting for the day when he will explode ..what will be Khushi's reaction ??


Till date ... It was always Khushi who used to form the apex in Anjali-Arnav-Khushi triangle..but off late we are seeing Anjali at the apex ..not just that, today Anjali was placed high above akin to a God player ..her departure resulted in everyone read Arnav and Khushi growing apart..is that a hint ??


Arnav who began to play act to keep his sisters delusion intact became so engrossed that he never realized when it turned to bonafide concern ..It was let to Khushi to bring him to reality ... The brief switch from the concern to the vast dreary emptiness reflected in hsi eyes was well done ..It reminded me of the La engagement track ... It was then Arnav Singh Raizada toyed with Khushi's emotions.. By first pretending to buy a necklace for her, and actually putting it around Lavanya's neck, all the while watching Khushi's reaction..her initial happiness getting crushed by his act...Her dream being shattered to smithereens ...That day he was clear headed , lead her a dance and cut her flying wings...Today she knows the drill... is not fooled by him and when Arnav did indeed begin to fly,fooled into dreaming by the circumstances Khushi brought him back from his dream quite ruthlessly ...


Q1) what was with the rings in different hand [ BD]

Q2) What about continuity ?? { Spoon changing hands midway }

IP REDUX. Yup, me loved it. Let's hope this thread make much more memories that we can cherish for lifetime. Welcome all here. Please feel free to share your thoughts and views. 😃

Updated:-

Tant, episode was filler. But there are some scenes that kinda clicked for me and which will turn out a big blow for the characters involved. As you have mentioned, yeah "Bonding" is happening within many characters and at the same time I see the war being declared also. This episode definitely did the foundation for future episodes and one request to all fans, every episode cannot be fantastic and we need some episodes where the infrastructure needs to be designed. If they do not set up the characters properly then it will be very hard to justify when the leads take some action and the side characters react. Since Tant have mentioned some important scenes, I, as usual won't touch them but explain it in different light. So, here goes my daily chant, its TANTASTIC. 👏 👏 👏

Firstly, I applaud the CVs for keeping Khushi in character, no me not talking about her brain but her monologue. Khushi always needs a second person to talk to. Till the wedding it was DM and today its Laxmi ji. I loved this continuation. Even when she talks to herself she demands the necessity that she'z been listened by someone. Good Job. 👍🏼

Secondly, what was with the close up shots??? 😡 It was so obvious that even with a seasoned eye, one can figure out there was BD in every scene. Once because of BD the last ME Door scene was ruined completely and today, the entire close up shots were ruined. I don't know the reason why multiple cameras were not used but it was PATHETIC. 😡

I loved the innuendo here where Payal said "Humein iss ghar se nikalwa do" and loved the irony here. She said to the person who sacrificed her wishes to get her in this home. But at the same time, I have this feeling it may occur when Khushi will choose to walk away then either Payal will accompany her or follow after the truth. I may be wrong, but I see a loop opened here.

Like Tant said, I also knew that the DVD is red herring and as I mentioned earlier, I will only comment when it will be aired. I also have a feeling that the DVD will change when time will come. Till then this is just to set up the story forward.

Everything in the episode is pretty connected even in the precap. Khushi's understanding that she needs to put every step forward with much more alertness and not to affect the pregnancy of Anjali as well as Aakash-Payal relationship gives me the biggest scare that it's going to happen inevitably. That will be because of her. Anjali's relationship is already in jeopardy and her pregnancy; I doubt will be complicated hence. Aakash and Payal's relationship, the smooth it seems from the outside is definitely a vacuum inside. Let me explain it from bird's view.

At this moment, the story is somehow getting closer to the main cause. If you look from above you can see the characters are positioned in the circumference and they all are walking towards the center.The centre is the reason of Khushi-Arnav wedding. I will explain all the characters and their acts and where they are heading.

Aakash-Payal:- As of now we can see the Bond of "trust and understanding" between them. Unless it's required, I view Aakash to let Payal work on her mission independently but it's always his subtle moral support with her; the same way he does give the moral support even to his Mom. But when time requires he does act to the path with Arnav's affirmation, like his silent compliance to Arnav's decision making. Now, today in two places Khushi witnessed the support of Aakash to Payal. One, in the DVD segment and another one, beside Maami's room. Both are contradictory to each other. Khushi didn't realize but it's one of the deciding factors in the future. In the DVD segment Aakash morally comforted Payal but when Payal was bashed by Maami, he was a silent witness. When the Shyaam revelation will happen, then Aakash ' Payal separation is inevitable; physical or mental I don't know because that's the CVs job, not mine. But, there will be separation and this is where the innuendo of Payal fits in. Unless Arnav steps in and decides Payal to stay back, Aakash will NOT support Payal here. Because of Khushi, Payal came into this home and it will be AGAIN 'coz of her, Payal will be out of this home. When Shyaam's revelation will occur, Aakash will support his Mom and Anjali because Anjali is the apple of everyone's eye and like the other day he was quiet before the wedding when Payal's first marriage issue came up, this day also he will not speak up. But, Shyaam 's character issue is a big problem and Aakash will never support Gupta's on this. The loop that opened long back with Aakash's "main aapse koi baat nehin chupaoonga'" will close with Payal's leaving.

Maami:- This one character I love. She is neither positive nor negative; actually, negative in a positive way. The war had begun between the Gupta's and Maami. No, me not talking about the DVD. That's just to stop Khushi from leaving but I am talking about Shyaam's revelation. CVs have shown her BOND angle twice and the final period will be when she will again start her investigation when truth will be revealed. I still love Maami's suspicion on Shyaam in the early episodes and even today when Shyaam almost spilled. She is the one who will not spare the Gupta's for this pretense. When time will come, she will be the first to make use of this situation to throw Payal out of RM; Arnav will not be blamed here as according to her all he did was for Anji's happiness and that will be even her judgment. Again whatever Maami is, for her Anjali is the apple of her eye; more than anything and she'll neither spare Shyaam nor will spare the Gupta's. Remember the scene where Anji's pregnancy news came up??? Yes, she ordered Shyaam to make the place for her to sit. That's Maami for us.

Guptas' :- Another feather in their cap today. They were given one task on making the DVD and they hit the bull's eye in the worst way. How can they do that when they know Payal has the most threaten from her MIL??? I mean when we dream a nightmare we be doubly sure to watch our steps. God save these women. I see no place for Raizada's to believe Khushi here and for once each and every one will believe Maami when she again blame them for this conspiracy. Firstly, everyone supported them when Payal's first wedding fiasco came into limelight but now, none will believe them. Yeah, they have never hidden the fact that Khushi was once engaged to Shyaam but there were many occasions they could have disclosed this and they didn't just because Anjali's MS broke down???Now, that is NOT an excuse the Raizada's will ever buy for they will never see the fact that how paranoid Anjali is in these issues. Another problem will be Khushi hiding the truth about her wedding. I hope by the time this happens at least they come to know why Khushi eloped and married; that will at least be a saving grace for Khushi but not for Arnav as he will blame the Gupta's strengthening his views with Khushi being a kid and why the elders didn't take any action; at least why they didn't inform him in advance. Gupta's getting left, right and center here from every nook. The only savior will be Bauji when he will recover and speak again.

Shyaam:- I loved Shyaam today as I will get my Man to Man fight that I was craving for. But, along with it I see my prediction getting stronger here. Shyaam slipping his tongue was a big thing if Arnav didn't stop Anjali's brain from lighting. But the big thing I loved is Shyaam's "Slip of tongue".Remember in one analysis I said it will be Shyaam who will accidentally blurt out the status quo between him and Khushi to Arnav in the heat of the moment??? I can see that coming. Hopefully, I am right here. One of the characteristics of Shyaam is "Gloating". Things will start going a bit worse with Khushi and Arnav for the moment from Shyaam's POV and with Khushi's continuous threat of breaking the wedding and leaving the home wll definitely make Arnav irritated. There is going to be confrontation and I hope Shyaam gonna blurt out how he tricked him in believing allz love in Shyaam'Khushi land and after the implusive wedding Arnav did, there is no way Khushi gonna trust him now. This will lead the repentance for Arnav and Khushi on the other hand will be all set to leave the house buying time for Shyaam to brainwash Anjali. Shyaam knows very well that Anjali is always "Behind the CHAIR". Today, in the kitchen what Arnav did was backing up Khushi to some eyes but to me he just was feeding milk to the snake and this snake will bite the master itself.

Anjali:-Well by now we know she is the heart of this serial and apple of everyone's eye. I said before Anjali is more "WEAK" than Arnav and Shyaam knows that pretty well. The man who have the guts to face Arnav knowing the possessiveness he carries for his Di, required applaud. So, that means when the actual time will come Anjali will support Shyaam as Shyaam will make her do that and he will disgrace Arnav and Khushi in front of RM and the World. There are many ways of looking at this track and if we do the algorithm properly with the above situation happening, then it will be Khushi who will ask Arnav to leave her and he will reluctantly abide by. Then there is another situation where Anjali will demand Arnav to choose between Khushi and him; and he will choose Anjali where in "Main aapke liye apni Khushi kurbaan kar doonga" and that situation will be triggered by the Gupta's covering up the issue. Here the crux of the issue is Arnav can forgive Khushi for hiding as he knows her completely (like he said today "Main Khushi ko aache se jaanta hoon" will trigger his defensive judgment in front of Raizada's) but at the same he CANNOT forgive the Gupta's allowing Khushi to keep quiet. Somewhere the elders do need to play a role. This angle is very contradictory and I would love to watch how the CVs play it. I still donno what route CVs will take but definitely there are around 5 options IMO. Another option I see is Shyaam playing the cards against Arnav and keeping the rest of Raizada's in motion of confidence. Eventually, Anjali will figure out through many loops opening up with the money lending, jewelry issue, Jalebi's and his disappearing act even at the Gupta's when they visited; His disappearing from their Anniversary celebration; Khushi's mentioning about her fiance and Gupta's mentioning every details of this engagement etc. So, in other words, I feel it will be Anjali who will bring Khushi and Arnav together later on.

Arnav-Khushi:- I loved the connection of the FAKE romance today. Arnav's mentioning "Main Khushi ko aache se jaanta hoon" with faking it seeing Anjali "Tum gusse mein sundar lagti ho, iska matlab kya humesha gussa karte rahoge" was such a nice continuation with the jalebis in the kitchen to convincing Anjali that Khushi indeed was upset with him, an added thought I guess but well thought. But, I must say what kind of a sister is she??? Eavesdropping??? I mean what??? Or is she trying to fig out the reason they got married??? Leave it. Let's get back to business. Therez now the "Man to Woman" fight has started. But with the challenge, one thing for sure they both are walking towards each other where Arnav turning from fake to real and Khushi from real to fake. With each passing day Arnav will be more confused with Khushi's action whereas Khushi will be more playing the fake game with Arnav. Khushi's this action will make Shyaam more insecure and in result blurting out the truth himself to Arnav. This will happen and the moment Khushi comes to know of the true reason behind the wedding, she will walk away for there will be no need to save Payal's marriage as there will absolutely be NO THREAT from Arnav.

See the irony in every situation, Payal being the reason these two come together and Anjali being the reason these two never go apart. Since the beginning of this serial, it's because of Payal they meet each other all the time and it's because of Anjali they cannot leave each other. That is why when Shyaam said to Khushi on the terrace "Rani Sahiba beech mein aa gayi", I mentioned in the analysis, that day even Anjali came in between them when Arnav was about to walk towards the terrace. Today also, because of Payal, the ritual of "Sweet dish" started but ended with Anjali's insistence. All blessing of DM. This also was completed in a metaphoric manner. The moment Anjali will PULL OFF her support from these two, they will separate.

Now the actual game will start when Payal will be thwarted by Maami tomorrow by the burnt Kheer and Aakash's mute will trigger Khushi to stay back at RM even though she would challenge Arnav. But, then again the loop has opened on "Tumme itni himmat nehin hain'" ending with Khushi walking away from Arnav and this home when time will come as I have always mentioned, she will leave because he didn't "TRUST" her enough.

Then, and only then the actual love story will start where these two will come close because of each other and NOT because of a CATALYST.

IP REDUX!?? Wowww! Thats interesting! Up for discussion always but this thread will rock with you and doodhs analysis Always!! 😳

*edit*

Thanths.. lovely analysis as always..🤗

Before I start can I say Akash was a disappointment today I had expected him to stand up for the women he loves.. I understand his characterization has been portrayed of a calm individual who avoids confrontation yet there comes a time when openly protecting the women you promised to take care of becomes a necessity.. I overlooked the first incident during the DVD debacle.. because he attempted to give her courage and console her by gently gripping her hand..but when Mami was accusing his wife of a conspiracy when all she attempted to do was feed her.. and he stood there simply looking on.. it annoyed me.. I don't expect him to explode but a few words in her favor can be expected..

I loved the emphasis on Jeejaji.. 😆😆.. ASR glared at Shyam and mockingly proclaimed he knows everything about his wife.. once again setting the boundaries in their relationships.. his eyes demanded him to react to deny what he said was the truth.. powerful sequence and more importantly Shyam is finally slipping he was quite good today his enthusiasm as he spoke of K's habits suddenly realizing where and whom he was speaking to.. you could see the wheels turning in Anjali's head..before ASR saved the day.. but for how long.. I'm looking forward to how Anjalis character progresses will she bring ArHi together or will she become the hurdle they are forced to overcome..

Loved Khushi today we can see aspects of our old K the individual who looked for answers instead of simply fretting over the problem.. even when surrounded by her own predicaments she found the strength to give Payal courage.. It was adorable to see the sisters bonding.. and I liked the fact that K was present during both of the Mami Payal scenes it symbolizes her importance in her sisters life.. she will be the one to always stand by her irrespective of the situation.. guiding and protecting her towards a better life..

I enjoyed the ArHi sequence.. ASR bit back his frustration at the sight of his sister and began a portrayal of fake affection..which was obvious by his slight smirk and the gleam in his eyes.. but what I found amusing was that he did not even realize when his drama became a reality as K began coughing he forgot everything and everyone and concentrated only on the women in his heart.. the smirk was replaced with genuine concern.. and he quickly got her a cup of water.. but not before K 's hope shattered at the realization that it was all for show.. (she never truly believed him yet her features softened at his affection..)...and Loved how you put it Thanths she brought him back to earth in the harshest manner.. and he ran off unwilling to face his emotions or the questions in her eyes..I am looking forward to how Khushi finds the answers to her queries..she is determined after all.. and not one to easily give up..

I want story to move now...buck up CVs plz some pace...plzzz

Brilliant analysis as alwez,Sathya & Doods!!! 👏 👏 👏
