Tanthya,
Fantastic post as usual!!! I agree with you that the episode was good. I am on the same lines with you of how the her vibrant colors have infused his bleak life. Today, Barun's expressions were priceless, Sanaya's acting awesome, and Abhas is so back on track but the episode was totally filled with idiosyncrasies. I have my own long list and I did not even notice the ones you listed. I know sometimes there are mistakes, but some things were just "flabbergasting" . I was just chanting your mantra, "Cinematic Liberty", "Cinematic Liberty", "Cinematic Liberty"'.(My list is at the bottom of the post.)
Thank You, Pam !! 😃
Below is my analysis:
When I saw the episode the first time, the only thing that struck me was Doods triangle theory: She had mentioned it in one of her posts that the Arnav - Khushi - Shyam are three points of triangle with Anjali in the center. The triangle was formed then, the game was declared, the preparations started but the game got initiated for at least two of these players in the past three episodes. Let me explain:
Shyam:
His initiation in the game began with Khushi's confession which made him realize that he has not lost and he has, in fact, an equal chance of winning. He, thus, planned, prepared and commenced his attacks with Khushi today, with physical overtures and he will soon be attacking Arnav mentally by disclosing the fact that he knows the reason of their marriage. Shyam is a mean manipulative fellow, he knows this fact will cut Arnav's knees from under him but, as Tanthya, you mentioned before, his gloating will be his downfall. His gloating might thus make him reveal his plans, one of which might be his use of Payal's -Mami relationship to break Payal's marriage, thus freeing Khushi .
I have to differ here, Pam ... You say Shyam's initiation into the game was recent ...No, I would say , Shyam is the oldest player..in fact he started the game from the day he sent Shashi to Hospital ..he had retired hurt !! Now he comes back !! more dangerous, secure in the knowledge that Arnav's hands are tied and he is in no danger for now..
Shyam-Anjali:
Though Anjali's is Shyam's ACE, I do not think he will use her until its an absolute necessity because Anjali has/ have/ and will always be his ticket to a comfortable financial existence which is very important to him. So, he will never want the truth to be revealed in front of Anjali and if it does happen he will play his cards in such a way that a wedge is drawn between the brother and sister and Anjali will support him.
This will happen , has to happen cos Along with Arnav, I also feel Anjali needs some sort of redemption too..
Khushi:
With Payal's incident yesterday, Khushi's attacks began against Arnav thus initiating her entry in this game. Though her attacks are hilarious, we should not forget that these attacks have borne out of the mistrust she has for Arnav, which makes her a formidable opponent. We always thought she was an innocent defenseless player in his game, but is she really? I think she is the most innocent manipulator of this game. Why? Twice, today, we saw her using Anjali against the two most important players of this game , and didn't she come out as the winner. With Arnav, she manipulated the situation so that it was Anjali who gave her the space in his wardrobe and Arnav was defenseless to do anything against it. Similarly, with Shyam, she asked Anjali to "open her eyes" thus protecting herself and ensuring that he runs for cover . Both the times she changed the situation to her advantage and came out with flying colors using innocence, smartness, honesty and just plain wickedness. Does this mean she will win at the end? Methinks this game will have no winner.
Anyways, her above incident with Shyam, commenced her initiation to start attacks/defense against the second player of this game, Shyam Manohar Jha.
You say Khushi is the innocent manipulator, Pam and I say that Khushi is not Innocent and is a manipulator..What Arnav Singh Raizada does with a scowl, Khushi does with a smile , hence our varied reactions to this two characters ...Both do not care about their counterparts feelings and are hell bent on getting their own way and when their action back fires Khushi vocalizes her guilt but Arnav internalizes it..
This Game is destined not to have any winner ..This is a game of destruction .. destruction of pride, arrogance, falsehood , selfishness , delusion !!
Khushi-Anjali :
I always thought that it will always be Shyam who will use Anjali for his means and Khushi-Arnav will protect her. But after today, I think, if situation demands, Khushi can and will use Anjali. When times comes, her immaturity, childishness or just plain honesty will result in her manipulating the situation, if for nothing else, then to ensure, that Anjali "opens her eyes" to see the real Shyam. She will also then use Anjali to make Arnav do her biding and let her go, thus giving Khushi her space.
@ Green ..None of these things but simple presence of mind and her quick wit will grasp that Anjali is the weak link and she is the shield who can offer protection from Shyam's blitzkrieg !!..
Arnav:
The sleeping lion. His initiation is still not taken place, infact he does not even know what is happening around him. Currently, he knows Khushi is doing her antics but Arnav will and has always allowed her to win in this small games. It's the big ones which matter to him, and he ensures that he wins those. So when Shyam plays his trump card and Arnav initiation takes place in this game, will history again repeat itself? Previously, Khushi and Shyam were aware of the situation but when Arnav realized the truth (Terrace scene), he played a card, which even though wounded him, just clean bowled these two players. Will he do the same again or will this time he be like the lion who will stalk his prey, track his every move, give him a false sense of security and strike him when he is at its most vulnerable. Only time will tell...
Arnav is one of those players who comes in the dead heat and changes the whole game within a second , he is the soaring eagle who will have the birds eyeview and can dive in for the Kill in a moment !! Ruthless, intelligent, clinical and a hunter..
Arnav - Anjali:
Anjali is not his strength like the other two but his weakness. Thus, all his attacks have to be planned in such a way that she is never made aware of the truth. They even gave us a hint about his protectiveness towards her in the show today, first at the dining table (his expression) when she sneezed, the other in the room with Khushi. Is Khushi and Shyam aware of his this protectiveness towards his sister? Absolutely. Will they use it against him? Again, only time will tell.
Thus, he is the person who has the biggest disadvantage in this game because First, Anjali , second, save Payash marriage and third, his love for Khushi. Well, Arnav bitwa, Tough times are coming for you!!!
In short, we have Shyam attacking Khushi and Arnav, Khushi attacking Shyam and Arnav and we will soon have Arnav attacking Khushi and Shyam thus forming the triangle with Anjali in the center.
Now,we just have to wait and watch, how this game plays out...
Note/Questions to CVs:
- Isn't Arnav an educated fashion tycoon ? So shouldn't he at least be aware of the concept of "Dry-Cleaning" or have I totally missed his job-description?😕 At least we got the confirmation that they have a washing-machine.
- Did that bathroom really belong to a bungalow/mansion? I know they cannot build sets but then why show something which will not fit in the model.😡
Where did he shave? At one moment he had the stubble, and the next , his stubble had reduced and this was before he went for a shower. Not that he did not look cute and I was not dazzled, but was that Arnav, I thought he was totally completely "Barun Sobti".😉
- Khushi's Mangalsutra just changed after she came out from her bath. Previously, it was the "Stolen" mangalsutra, then it was just a string of some chain with pendant with few black manis. Methinks they had a tug-a war with the "Stolen" Mangalsutra that was not aired.😆 I am saying "stolen" because I have not seen them giving her one, Raizadas = Kanjoos🤣
- Akashjee only gets ready when he has to go to a meeting, what of the other times when he has to go to the office. Do the Raizada's have a policy of saving water for Anjali's tear supply?🤣
- Have times changed or have girls stopped taking suitcases full of clothes to their sasural? Anyways the main point is, was that a normal jute bag or Hermoine's extended bag. Whatever it was, CV's please tell us where we can buy such bags, because I really need that "jute-bag" which has never-ending space.😊
- Anjali's comment,"Aapke sab shirt kale hain", in which world? Haven't we been drooling on his different colors of shirts since Adam: Blue, green, orange, maroon, brown, white, etc or were we just dreaming? I am sure I also saw them in the wardrobe today but after her comment I don't think I should be trusting my eyes with colors.😆
- If Arnav has so many shoes, why does he always wears the same "H" ones? Again, Raizada = Kanjoos😆
