BRILLIANT. Absolutely brilliant connection. I must say 4 Lions is BACK. Wait, I said they are back BUT in terms of storyline progression and NOT in "Treatment". Yes, the track is back, in terms of connections, in terms of continuity, in terms of progression, in terms of all the theories that's portraying currently but the only thing that lacked very much in the episode was the expressions of Sanaya Irani. The moment Arnav went senseless it was supposed to be Khushi's "All hell broke loose" kind of expression and we see what??? That is the only reason this episode lacked and that is why her emotions and turmoil didn't even stir the emotions in me; we were supposed to feel the "pain in the heart" emotions but it went completely "Bland" for me, at least. No, I am not saying Sanaya was not good but she was not upto her credibility. The Sanaya I know of is absolutely "Brilliant" when she was at the beginning of the series, in Diwali, in the wedding segment, but in this track I don't see that Sanaya. Actually I don't blame her either as an Actor always brings out the emotions when they feel the continuity in the story telling which has been completely haywire here since last couple of months. How can we even expect her to portray the emotions the way it's supposed to be??? No. I hope now 4 Lions have understood that when one thread falls apart in the process it affects everything and everyone. Sometimes we find Barun Sobti's expressions inconsistent and sometimes we find Abhaas Mehta's expressions inconsistent and sometimes it's Sanaya Irani's. Today the track and storyline is not to be blamed but it's the acting of the Actors are to be blamed. The sooner you fixed it the better will be for you and for us because we already are at the door of one big confrontation and that time we need the 3 major lead Actors to be in full concentration and in full form. Today I am saying this and before everyone starts saying it, just fixed it.

Now I have something more to add in the above context. Before I proceed I must ask - "Do you believe in blessing in disguise"??? Well I do. In the IPK series this MU is one of the most important track and today I see 4 Lions is back and the good news is that the TVR for IPL is down 18.7% in viewership, which means 11.67 million people who used to watch IPL last year has preferred not to watch this year. So, this is the opportunity for you all to grab those viewers or bring back the viewers who you have lost already. This means not only the storyline needs a gripping but also the acting needs to be streamlined. Just gear up. Opportunity doesn't knock the door many times.

Another thing I wanna mention regarding today's episode and the "Treatment" of the episode. I have been mentioning the same things time and again and will mention today also that running a show is not easy but you need to understand what you are showing to the viewers and if the viewers do not understand your depiction of the storyline then all your efforts will go in vain. SIMPLE. Understand the process of depiction. I love your thought process and I guarantee you except the 1% viewers who analyze and study cinematography, rest 99% of the viewers DID NOT grab the story line until and unless they are spoon-fed. No, you need not spoon fed but you need to understand they should be able to understand that the track is approaching forward. I guarantee you they did not. Firstly, it's because Sanaya's expressions of guilt and emotional worry was pathetic and secondly, there was not a single monologue/FB of what is cooking in her brain, hence, I am damn sure it would have been very difficult for the audience to figure out that she is in turmoil and guilt driven. Either she fixes her expressions or you change your style of presentation.Thirdly, out of the 99% of the viewers', 80% of the viewers need the monologues /FBs, at least one or two, not a bunch to understand where the track is heading. Other 19% of the viewers DO NOT need monologue/FB as such but they need "Intelligent Portrayal" of the episode. They need the Actor's full justification towards their scene, they need the continuity of the track, which hopefully is fixed now and they need logical explanation of the track. Rest, for the analysts and for the audiences who study and work on cinematography, there is no problem in the story telling and they can link the past, present and future nicely like there was today and I guess we have deciphered it appropriately. For us, this deciphering is a daily challenge and brain work and honestly, I love it. This is one reason I analyze for you. Think about it what I said, I hope we will see the changes ahead.

Let's come to the episode. Shall we??? I loved today's episode and not because of the treatment, of course not, but I loved the writers today and they have seriously done the algorithm now. Yes, our "Triangle" theory, Arnav - Khushi equation, Shyaam - Anjali equation, everything was in place.Everything. Last 2 days I have carried my analysis with Arnav and Khushi's characteristics. So, for the regular readers I guess, it won't be a big problem to understand when I explain today's episode and what the importance is and where did the writers do a fabulous job. When I watched today's episode, it took me straight to the incident that happened months back - yes, the "Guest House" incident. What??? You all thought I'll talk about the "Nainital trip" where Arnav then took care of Khushi and now Khushi taking care of Arnav??? naa.That's the beauty of the writers here. It is as obvious as it seems, but that is not the connection. The connection takes us back to the "Guest House Incident". Allow me.

Today's episode takes us back to the AR office parking lot where ASR delegated the job to handle the parking of cars of all the delegates just to ensure that she doesn't reach home on time. But, all his plans back fired him when he realized for the first time that night, that he is doing injustice to her. Yes, he realized that night in the rain. He started being irritated with her, he started being angry with himself for she, slowly and steadily is entering his mind and heart; for slowly slowly this small town girl is affecting him. Then one mistake of her's and ASR sent her out of his sight to a place which was undergoing renovation; the place was a danger for her which he was not at all aware of. Yes, if he would have known this then he would have never sent her there. But, who is the one to believe him here??? No one. Neither Khushi nor the Gupta's. He was simply irritated with her; she intruded his Fashion Show; she had the guts to accept the challenge to work at his office; she survived all the torture and challenges that he threw at her; at that moment he might seem unemotional and a devil to her but he was not. He simply wanted to get rid of her. From her vision; from her vicinity; anything that was related to her he wanted to get rid of that. When a person seeks revenge or an answer they simply never think of all the consequences those are bound to bounce back, do they??? Of course not. They do not. The moment he got the phone call that Khushi might be in danger then he was the first person to jump in to save her. He went and rescued her from the GH and took her safely to GH. He realized his mistake; he saved her for he realized that in irritation he forgot that he had put her life in danger and he should have at least pick up the phone when she called her from the GH. Yeah he did. He faced the wrath of Payal and Buaji. I loved the wrath of Payal there. She said rightfully - "issi intezar mein hain naa ... ke kabhi toh yeh tutegi aur haar maan legi" and continued on saying - "kya bigada hain yeh aapka' aur ab yeh halat bana di hain isski appne". When he asked he'll get the doctor, Payal said - "Aapke kis kis ka ehsaan maanenge, ke aap isse chod rahaein hain ya isse ghar le aaye". The mighty Arnav Singh Raizada had NO answer. Not at a single one. What was Khushi's fault actually??? Nothing. If she irritated him to the core was it her fault or was it the fault of his own??? He could have controlled his emotions, right??? But could he??? No. Because they were destined to meet. Yeah, that day what happened to Khushi might look like Arnav's fault but was it really??? No he intentionally didn't hurt her but it happened and he didn't see that coming at all.

Then cometh the most important connection. I hope many had guessed it. I was waiting for this loop to continue. When he was leaving the Guptas', he stopped in the middle for his ears heard the name that was related to him - "Shyaam ji".That was the first time he heard his Bro-in-law's name but yeah, he thought there might be many people of that name and he left thinking it's just a coincidence. This loop was opened that day but this is not yet closed.

Today again we saw the same scenario but the characters are in opposite positions. I had already explained yesterday the stance of Khushi right now in the track. A girl, who was heartbroken not once but thrice, who was forced to marry sacrificing herself as a "Dowry" for her Sister's marriage, can any one understand her state of mind??? Like I said yesterday, the bubbly girl once who was sportive today has become erratic. Can you blame her???No. You CANNOT. For heaven's sake how many times can you converse with a "ROCK"??? She is frustrated and irritated with her prince, with Arnav for he has vowed to be silent and not even disclose the reason for her punishment, her sentencing. In this stance, she is irritated with Arnav, of course she will be. Hell yes, she has to. Like Arnav that day, today she just wanted to get an "Answer" from this man and in the process of reaching for the goal she forgot to take into consideration that he is diabetic. Do you all blame her?? I DO NOT. That day like Arnav didn't even take the phone call from Khushi today we she didn't even consider that he might be hungry or rather he is diabetic. It slipped out of her mind but the moment she realized her mistake she is the one who showed her presence of mind and rushed to get the jaggery so that his sugar level can reach it desired level. Yes, she did, the moment she realized what blunder she had done. At that moment she forgot all her mission of getting answer from him, for right now her first priority was Arnav.

Didn't I always say they are equals??? Yes they are. See the comparison now. That day because of Khushi's situation Arnav was scolded by Payal, her sister and today Khushi had to take advantage of Anjali's name just to threaten Arnav to sleep on the bed. That day Payal brought them together and today Anjali kept them together. How??? That day Payal showed Arnav the reality of his guilt; pointed him his mistake and his wrong judgment that calmed down Arnav and he started to resurface his feelings and that is how Arnav and Khushi came together again. Yes, it was because of Payal, Arnav and Khushi came together.

See another angle also, it was Payal who uttered the name of "Shyaam", hinting it will be Payal who will clear the entire MU in Arnav's mind as now after today with Khushi's concern, the confusion in Arnav's mind will arise as I always say in my "Triangle" theory. Arnav will have the confusion between "Shyaam - Khushi equation" and the "Actual KKG".This loop will close later on with Arnav's realization of actual Khushi Kumari Gupta.

Now comes another continuation of the track "Shyaam - Anjali" Equation.

That day, Shyaam with his verbal trick motivated Khushi to resign from AR and she did. Tomorrow we will see Anjali appreciating Arnav's choice of a life partner. Did you notice the contrast between this husband-wife relationship??? That day Shyaam parted them but Anjali kept them together, this time also Shyaam parted them and Anjali will keep them together.

That day after the GH situation, it was Shyaam who wanted to apart Khushi- Arnav, though unknowingly as he wanted Khushi not to be close to Anjali for his own sake. But what I loved was that day Shyaam in the kitchen when Khushi was frying jalebis said - "Khushiji, iss golmol ke chakkar ko thodiye, aur apne khayalon ko alag alag ki jiye aur phir dekhiye maaza". WOW. What an appropriate SUGGESTION. Can you believe this??? The only person who needs this suggestion is non-other than "Arnav Singh Raizada". Right now he is thinking in circles but the moment he will think all the clues unchained and then put it in sequential order he will solve the "Riddle". This loop has started to work again today and now it will be Arnav's turn to separate the clues and then connect them together. With Khushi's concern today and Anjali's affirmation tomorrow, I guess I should say, bring it on CVs. We are ready to witness the "CONFUSION" in the mind of the mighty "Arnav Singh Raizada" for his wrong understanding of his one and only "Khushi Kumari Gupta- Singh Raizada".

P.S. :- Redux for Friday's episode I will be opening so it will be Saturday morning for Asia/AUS/UAE and Friday night for USA. You can read it with Coffee/ Brunch / Dinner 😃

Tanthya,

Today, I am happy. I like the episode in spite of certain misgivings but I missed your analysis.

Below is my analysis:

Today I realized, how far Arnav and Khushi have come from those people we met 10 months back. That time these two hated each other, hated the sight of each other but destiny kept bringing them face to face. They kept crossing each other paths, they kept fighting each other and they kept making each other's life hell. They were two very different people, with two very different ideologies but still similar in so many ways. This kept butting their heads together, baiting each other, challenging each other and it resulted in the inevitable. In this journey of theirs, unknown to them they started needing each other, they started depending on each other, they started looking out for each other. Without them realizing, that emotion bloomed between them, an emotion that we call love, an emotion they are not even aware of. They say that love has many faces and hate is one of them. Khushi and Arnav have hate in abundance between them. They both have done the unforgivable, they both have given the other pain, they both have made the other's life hell but the love between them has become stronger than their hate. Hence in their ignorance, in their pursuit of their goal, in their hate for each other, they hurt the other but end up feeling the pain because they have not yet realized that love is like a two-edged sword, the one who cuts is the one who bleeds.

"Murder ka second attempt"

Before the "Dance of Scorpian", I always wondered if Khushi loved Arnav, if she cared for him, if she had feelings for him. I was totally confused but then Arnav lost his voice and we saw the sweet caring Khushi. We saw Khushi going crazy because of his pain, going ballistic because he lost his voice. That time too she was guilty for his condition and hence by hook or crook, she wanted him well. She wanted her Arnav back and she did not rest until he started speaking again, until he was healthy. That day Arnav was sick, Arnav was not feeling well but it was Khushi who got affected, who was in pain.

Today, the same thing happened. For days, she has been troubling him, she has been making his life uncomfortable. But the moment, he got hurt, he was in pain, she forgot everything. She forgot the past, she forgot the pain he is given her, the hurt he has given her, she just wanted him healthy. She wanted her Arnav back. She could not rest because she was guilty, she was the one responsible for his condition, she was one who had yet again give him pain. She was harried to see him in that condition and she kept confirming that he was all right. In spite of his denial, in spite of his refusal, she kept helping him and making his life comfortable. Here she did not care for her ego, here it was just him, and his health that were her focus. Here, she did not care of her promise to make his life uncomfortable, or to trouble him or to get the truth out of him. Here, she did not care if the hurt he had given her, the pain he had given her, the havoc he has created in her life. Here, she was just a girl whose love was in jeopardy and making him safe was her only priority. And yet again, it was she who suffered the pain for the hurt that he was bearing.

In one of my previous analysis, I had indicated that Arnav will go through the pain of silence, that he will drink the poison, the truth unknowingly because of Khushi. Today, again the word "Poison" was used by Mami. Her words were "Khushi gave him poison". I feel this is an indication, that it will Khushi who will commit the murder again, who will kill the illusion, the web of lies that he is been surrounded with since that day and it will be Khushi who will make him drink the poison, who will unknowingly make him face the truth of the biggest sin that he has committed.

That time too it will be Arnav who will be hurt but Khushi who will be in pain. That time too she will try to ease his hurt, who will provide the antidote, her forgiveness, who will take care of him, who will help him, who will make him stand, and who will resurrect his ego, his image, his status and all those things that make Arnav Singh Raizada. Will he be the same person or a better one, only time will tell.

Anjali VS Nani.

We have always said that Nani and Anjali will play a vital role in bringing Arnav and Khushi together but, today, I felt that the reasons for them doing this good deed will be way different.

Nani is the practical one, she has the same sense of right and wrong that Arnav has, she does not have the tolerance for things that are against her values, against her beliefs. She is modern in her approach but still orthodox at her heart. For her, married once is married for life. Hence, in spite of her misgivings against Mami, she has never created a wedge between her son and his wife. Thus, feel, her this belief and her sense of right and wrong, will make her the staunch supporter of Arnav and Khushi and will prompt her to bring them together.

Anjali is not the practical one, she is more emotional. She is asweetheart but she becomes a "Durga" when it comes to her "Chotte", her perfect world. She cannot tolerate anything or anybody hurting him. The moment she realizes that something is hurting her "Chotte", she forgets all about her surrounding and her total concentration is on her brother. Today, was the third time this has happened. Yes, she does make fun of him but if its crosses a line that harms him or his health, she does not like it. We saw that today, she was not happy when he fainted. She wanted to make her world safe again and she did not move from his side until it was confirmed that her world is still perfect, that he was all right. Once confirmed, she was again her sweet self but till then she was restless. Thus, I feel that it will be her "Chotte's" hurt, his Dukh, his restlessness that will push her to find the truth, to look for the reality and will prompt her to expose Shyam and bring Arnav and Khushi together.

PS:

Is Khushi stomach is small?? That was a huge amount of food. Why didn't Arnav drink the "joyees" that was on the table? I thought Arnav had Diabetes from a long time the why didn't the RM members think of giving him sugar when thats the first house remedy you do when a Diabetes patient faints?
1. What happened to Khushi's English accent and "Shudh Hindi"? She said "sugar low" in perfect English today.

@doods and Anna-fantabulous... For the last two days ,I have in a quandary about whether to put my two cents across as I really felt the negative sentiment of the forum getting to me.

Let me explain this,I always felt Khushi has been implusive and became downright senseless in her actions when she is hurt or her loved ones are hurt. Last two days were perfect examples of this behavior.I,unlike the sentiment on the forum was just waiting for this phase to turn the tide in relation to khushi's "wisen up" Process.now I can say that it has finally started.I actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Deja vu,I actually thought about the guest house incident when Anjali gave the accusatory look.I just couldn't help but compare the two sisters who are protective about their siblings.it also helped one see on how arnav and Khushi are equals in lot of respect.though sanaya's emoting could have been much better yesterday,I was relieved that the show is justifying some of khushi's action frm her POV. though I am convinced that Anjali and payal will have a role to play in arhi's reunion, I still think people are underestimating shyam's influence on Anjali.I felt very uneasy about anjali's expressions yesterday ticking Khushi off even though she convinced the latter that it was not her mistake.

@ satya-aavalaga ethirparthu konduirrukiren ungal ezuthu kaaga



@Anna-I am still not convinced about what miss B can bring in to the show.

A very good analysis Anna 👏 👏 👏

I loved the above part because I did not notice it. Yes the child is a bit dull, there is no spark in her, but you have explained Arnav and Bubblies equation well. I doubt many must have seen that.😳

Yesterday I was really really upset with the "treatment" (thank you Doods for enlightening me) of the episode.

Today, I have a kind of an uneasiness after watching the show. Something is just not sitting right. It's kind of like indigestion. Excessive sharing I know I'll get to the point.

In my eyes the massacre of Khushi Kumari Gupta continues, be it in her wadrobe, her logic or her actions. Now I want to highlight that I loved Pam's analysis yesterday more than anything it explained where Khushi is coming from, but to me the actions are too loud and distracting from what is going on in her head. NO I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT HER EATING BEFORE ARNAV.

That whole scene was a drama, what I am talking about is when Arnav entered she didn't notice that he was exhausted and famished, then again when she finally brought in the food why was she so blind. This is someone who is intuned with him... is she not? On Monday, we saw that she was not interested in his justifying his actions when he was angry about her whereabouts after the Heer and Ranja act, but that was because she was broken. We were shown that!!!

And here, she is doing it out of what? smite? From yesterday's soliluquoy thats all I got. She wants to irratate him. But how far has she gone, just saying I don't find Khushi Kumari Gupta amusing anymore just annoying.

Arnav had every right to be PISSED OFF!!!! He hates to show weakness, and here he is because of her without control on himself.

Here is my problem, the first time he fainted we knew from the source, her little dialogue to herself and then again to him that she did not want to see him, then when he came she yelled, realized her mistake and apologized.

Today, she knows its her mistake, she is regretting it, but where is her weighing in what she did and the magnitude of what could have happened to him??? Her regret??? Instead we got a Rabba Vey, really not needed. I apologize, I need to see her telling herself that she did something wrong. We have seen her do it when she burnt him accidently. Instead, we got OTT when she standing over him as he wakes up. That was terrible. TERRIBLE!!! ( Can you tell I'm not a morning person)

And finally, you guys are blessed with Sanaya, I have tuned out off of shows because of annoying supporting casts, this is the lead. She is brillant at comedy not just charlie chaplin type but seinfied types show her developing polishing up a little atleast. (No I am not going to say anything about the outfits and hairstyle, I am not)

Advice to the CV's ( I only do this because I love the show OH so much)

1. There is a gap in the story that is being told, me the viewer... is not getting it, I have to wait for an explaination from the likes of TANT, DOODS, ANNA, and the rest of the Redux crew. That is not a good thing because the majority of people will just tune out (hello falling TRP's not just because of crazy OTT)

2. Use your Rabba Vey's wisely, you have a beautiful instrumental version which sometimes suits the occassion so much more, believe me give us one big RABBA VEY moment that is well done and we can relish like an exotic dessert.

3. Day two of Bubbly and we don't know anything about her, except that Arnav has a folder reserved on his laptop of a heart for her. See gap in the story I was talking about.

4. Shyam where the hell is he? Ok I'm not a fan of his at all, but now I'm sounding like a stalker. How about a legitimite excuse for his absense? Is he still at the doctor?

I think there is a reason the people on IF give such tough love to the CV's is, you cannot raise our expectations from the show and then proceed to give us sub standard material, we are not going to accept it. We are tuning in to watch a well balanced drama (BALANCED). But I am keeping the faith.

Still hoping for the best

S

waiting for the analysis of the guru's of this thread (TANT and the others)

@ ANNA loved it!

@ Doods: brillant is all I can say, and can I just thank you for pointing out Sanaya's performance today, because I kept thinking something is off but I couldn't decide on what. Thanks again for referencing the guest house incident, I happened to love Payal in that scene. It showed that only in extreme circumstances this billi becomes a full grown tigeress who even the mighty ASR has to lower his eyes too.

Thanths and Doods will be eagerly waiting for your analysis.. !!

@ Anna Loved your post..

I can honestly say after being disappointed repeatedly with the inconsistencies and the portrayal of the sequences I really enjoyed today's episode for several reasons.. one being we got to see a hint of our old K back who was just as determined yet understood when to act and when to back down.. the person that cares and openly portrays her affection for her loved ones especially when she knows she was at fault..

What I loved was the detail in today's epi.. Khushi was still oblivious to the consequences of her actions hence her refusal to notice the changes among ASR's features his expressions was acceptable to an extent.. she has always been portrayed as an individual with a strong willpower one who when determined to achieve her goals overlooks her boundaries.. hence her attempt to annoy him even in his condition was expected..especially when she was unaware of his state of mind..

But the sudden transition from playful to shock gradually turning into concern for the man that irrespective of her efforts maintained a hold on her heart was beautifully portrayed..in that moment she forgets everything her plans her ambition of attaining freedom.. keeping in mind only that her Arnav no longer Swami was lying unconscious in front of her.. she quickly grasps his face and his hand.. in an effort to awaken the man whom according to her.. she yearns to leave.. ironic.. but the tremor in her voice portrayed the fear of loss.. the pain of not only causing but being responsible for his condition..!!

Now for what I loved was the family swarming around the individual that is the bond keeping them together.. K and Nani on one side while Anjali was in the middle once again the women their lives are revolving around... K was the first to act on ASR's request not only did she understand him but she fetched the sweet to soothe him.. which in turn portrays K will be the only one that will be able to give ASR peace when the truth is revealed yet Anjali will be the one that brings the two together.. while Akash who gently took ASR to his room will be the silent force which guides Arnav to his love.. The family will be the shield that eventually protects ASR and K's relationship from Shyam's intentions..

I loved the concern K portrayed for her husband it was not simply regret but the affection she had buried within her heart.. as she claimed her right as a wife when she said let me do this .. similar to ASR proclaiming you are my wife and I have every right to know.. he may have rebuked her repeatedly which was understandable after her recent escapade it will take some time before he accepts her concern is genuine.. but I adored the fact that she did not let that be a hindrance as she aided him or blackmailed him into sleeping on the bed.. which I found adorable ASR is a man of his word he was more then prepared to think of her even in his condition.. but she has understood her husband and in her time of need did not back down from using her ace.. !!

I loved the look he gave her when she said I will tell di.. 😆😆.. he was already tired and was in no mood for more drama so just gave in.. but he knew what she was doing.. Well I'm also looking forward to seeing Shyam.. let's see how things go..!!

although I have my doubts I hope they can at least maintain some consistency in the upcoming epis.. the intensity needs to be sustained..and some progression would be lovely as well..!!!
