Heyy All wonderful Heer's ,
Since I had a guest attack during the latter half of the segment & the first 10 mins were the one's I saw ..The distinct impression I was left with was that I was viewing some new show and IP has been shifted ...To say that I was seething would be putting it mildly but then calmer sense prevailed and I began to reevaluate the episode and I must say I was impressed by the clever use of the promotion of another show for the furthering the movement of the episode and the track..This was confirmed when I went to YT breaking my steadfast rule of not watching the episodes on YT ** Analysis ke liye kya kya karna padtha hai yaar**
The Young Guns put on a display of love to fool the old wise Lioness , but the lioness although not making a sound has realized that things are not what they seem, without sending out smoke signals, Nani Aka Devyani Singh Raizada resolves to bring the hot blooded young'uns closer ...
Today we add another strand to the MU track , It is the unraveling of Arnav Singh Raizada , what makes Arnav Singh Raizad, what keeps him going even when the girl he loves has betrayed him , What keeps him going when he knows that the girl he loves is in love with another man ...EGO !!..Ego keeps him going ..Ego as not in conceit bu Ego as in self esteem ..We have got the first brick that makes up Arnav Singh Raizada ..
Another instance I liked was the fact that though busy in bickering Khushi is conscious of her surrounding , she forthwith changes the tune and becomes the loving wife..The quick change rendering Arnav speechless but one cue from his wife, he catches on..a hint of smile in his eyes and he moves away...Khushi too walks away from there straight to Nani who is watching them with an pensive expression ...loved this scene esp bec while the couple are busily arguing with one another, Nani comes with the light blessed by God and stands there illuminating the darkness shrouding their heart , Khushi it is who walks towards the God and Arnav away ,,, his redemption is yet far away but Khushi's is nearing
Nani who has understood that the newly wed Arnav and Khushi are facing some rough weather decides to play cupid and become the conduit in awakening the love which has been lost in the mazes of MU ..I have always maintained that Arnav is more like his Nani than his mysterious father..Both stubborn, pig headed , charmers , arrogant, proud and adept in getting their own way by hook or crook , presence of mind... Nani by virtue of her life's experiences easily outclasses the LKG bachcha Arnav Singh Raizada... Arnav has no other option other than to stay on.. A hassled Khushi meanwhile has got a panic attack and she rushes towards Nani , squaking out that Nani's costume is missing ...With nary a feather out of place, Nani plumes herself comfortably, calls up Anjali , realizes that they are on the way, calls up the costume rentals and manages to get them to deliver a replacement ...She is one smooth operator ... no wonder Arnav's moves are shooo urbane and suave !!
Another reason I liked this was the way they Kept Khushi in character, when stressed Khushi eats and today too as soon as she realized that Nani's costume went missing, began to get tensed and to relive the tension began to eat Channa's... It is such little touches that makes us love this show more..
Shyam is getting very nervy indeed , He does not lose any chance and utilizes it to its max potential ... If Arnav is a opportunity grabber, Shyam is no less .. With none at Raizada Mansion, Shyam right away goes into Arnav's room in search of Roy's papers ... His search proves futile and his endeavor has to be aborted for once again Shyam is thwarted by Anjali'...interestingly while he walks away , the sacred thread gets caught in Arnav's cupboard with Shyam completely unaware of it ... Does this mean that Anjali's Prayers which were shielding him from the effects of his sins has withered and fallen... Has the cup filled to the brim and the day of reckoning nearing ...soon he may overreach himself and land on his head ..
The face off between Arnav and Shyam , subtle, pointed & ruthless ..Shyam slyly advising Arnav that he sould not leave as Khushi is HIS wife and at the same breath adding that had it been Anjali he would have stayed till the end , hs attitude saying that he is staying here bec Khushi and he are one !! Arnav does not fall for the trap, does not allow emotions to rule, he throws a contemptuous glance at Shyam and turns to do what he wanted to do ...A clear hint that Shyam's manipulative powers are waning on Arnav and that he will not be persuaded so easily the next time and nor will Arnav see what Shyam wants him to see but will rather make his own choice..
The curtain scene .. The final barrier when something effectively blinds Arnav from seeing the essential truth, A hurdle which will prevent him from joining Khushi..would that be guilt, would that be shame, would that be the ego..He stands there hurting , blinded, in pain but not a word escapes his mouth..The pain is internalized , the face remains devoid of expression but it does not fool Khushi who without any thoughts takes the first step, removes the barrier that prevents him from reaching her and stops her from going to him ... She reaches out and applies the balm , soothing him, healing him by caring for him, by showing him that he still matters to her and as if to reward this faith the auspicious yellow color of optimism , hope envelopes them ..
Then came the Promotion bit ..and I loved the usage of it ... the first song chikni chameli ..what did we see in that ... Nani drags Khushi with her and all begin to dance and enjoy.. The fun loving Nani and Khushi are joined by Maami who deserts Payal .. who too loses herself in the song and begin to gyrate ...lastly walks Arnav who joins this ladies, looks at them indulgently , Sums them up in one word ' CRAZY'... Did U notice ?? did You...If not ..lemme elaborate ... Nani, Maami , Khushi on one side ..with Arnav on their side BUT who was with Anjali & Shyam >>>>> Akash ...while Payal is kept equidistant as the impartial judge who can see both sides ...I am going to love this when it gets played out
The second song was a brilliant selection , Kudos to whoever chose this song and Applause to Arshad for doing justice to it by blending it into IP..
Mera naam tu haathon pe apne likhe baar haan
Aye kaash ke aisa bhi din laaye woh Khuda
Tu hi mera mera mera ...
Does that trigger anything for You.. I remembered Khushi writing ' A' on her hand , when Khuda did bring that man into her life and he became hers ...Notice how Arnav comes and stands ..right behind her separated by obstacles when ' Tu hi mera ' Starts and as gradually TU hi Mera builds up, the crowd begin to disperse, leaving a clear way for him to reach her .. the obstacles stand removed , Khushi then puts on a chain, puts him on , accepting him and acquiescing to become his ..
Then comes the next line
Sooni hai tujh bin duniya meri
The camera sharply focusing on Arnav, telling us that Arnav craves for Khushi's Love and with out her he feels empty, desolated ..
Hai meri jannat galiya teri
Now watch what happens, Khushi begins to get a vibe that Arnav is behind her and she half turns but Arnav has vanished ... Note the lyrics that comes at that time ..Khushi too cannot stay away from him, Her paradise, her joy, her Elysium is in his house and in being with him..
The next stanza
Kabhi tu mile kahe mujhse ke main hoon tera
This is applicable to both ..Both nurse a hope that some day , some time ...the other will admit that need him/her and will confess their love to one another ..how is it shown...Arnav offering his heart in the form of the earring...Khushi quietly accepting it and placing it on the spot where it should be !! ..finally ends with Tu HI MERA .. with both of them together and affirming that they are one and belong to each other..
Arnav begins to walk away from Khushi , turning to look back at her, looking happy that she accepted his gift of love ..I ahve always said that When Arnav smiles, Dagger pierces my heart cos his joy will not last but this time I am not worried cos this time around is the song of love playing in the background..a song hinting at freshness, at lightness ,at playfulness, at happiness unlike the sombre RV which always had a melancholic tinge to it ...
The final segment when Khushi is dressed as Heer, Arnav the quiet presence in her life watches on, at the ready, protective , non interfering..A flustered Khushi rushes in , cries out that she does not know the dialogues of Heer Ranjha ..Naani soothes Khushi's frayed nerves, plays cleverly and cons Arnav into playing Ranjha ...
The mirror was effectively used here ...When Khushi comes in and complains to Naani that she does not remember Heer Ranjha story... Observe the reflections of Arnav and Khushi...they are far from one another ...As soon as Naani begins to talk about the immortal love of Heer and Ranjha ... The camera moves in such a way as to indicate that Arnav and Khushi are another true lovers, their hearts exchanged and their souls unified ...
When Naani begins to speak about the effect of poison on Heer, The camera focuses on the reaction of Arnav , whatever happens to Heer/Khushi will devastate him ...
Khushi takes up the narrative...The camera blurs on Arnav and Heer speaks , Ranjha could not save Heer and in despair he too consumed the poison and died himself ..The camera once again focusing on Arnav... establishing that Khushi and Arnav are Heer/Ranjha ** Side Note ; Don't u dare follow this script faithfully, CV's... I hate sad endings**
True is it not ...On the day of marriage , their marriage .. both died .. their aspirations, their budding dreams, the flowering emotions nipped in the bud by the ruthless knife of fate ..Both died so that their siblings could live!! But Time does not stay put , it marches on bringing changes in its wake , Time heals .. Time allows growth, regeneration, rebirth .. it can change the barren land into a flowering oasis in a blink with one spell of rain or perhaps Love !!
NOTE TO CV"S
when going for intense shoot, avoid stills...and avoid copy paste ..Arnav's keenly listening to Heer story came about at least thrice ...once it was completely off sync to the scene ..
Barun , enunciate clearly !!
Second have u heard of Braun, Gillette, Philips ...Good U have...Use it !!
