Hello Peeps. 😃
After a long gap I am penning down my thoughts today and to be honest when Tant told me to open I just said - fine I will open no problem in that because we need Redux to discuss but I won't write so don't expect that. I also said that you all want me to write but you all know me once I say no, it's never. I generally never look at the past. This time also I was clear to Tant that I won't write; you know I don't talk in air as I declared on May 24th that I am quitting analysis but will be watching. Today also I wouldn't have come but it's my fate that I always end up in analyzing. If not by myself then fate will bring me here. I can abandon analysis but Redux, no. So, I agreed to open but ended up in analyzing. You wanna know how??? Here goes:-
My last serious analysis was on May 21st just before the fateful episode I decided to quit and stopped analyzing. Right??? Then on May 24th, I informed you all my decision and I guess even I didn't analyze the episode at all but whatever hints that figured have informed you all in points. To go deep in the episodes you need to have the heart and willingness which was not there with me that moment. I was devastated no doubt and I couldn't figure out why the need of ASR to verbalize his love in that situation. It was so untimely and unnecessary that moment and after 8 days that episode has been aired "I still am NOT changing my Stance". At the end of this analysis you will know what I meant and why I am saying this. Today after so many days I will declare that it is still a "Panicked Decision" of Gul Khan. Yes it is. Ok, I understand Gul might have panicked but Gautam Hegde??? How did he panic??? He is one of the Brilliant Screenplay writers I honor. There are two people I always respect; one is Nissar Parvez and other is Gautam Hegde. You know what??? Minutes after I posted my last analysis on May 24th, Gautam came out with "Clarifications". Gautam, you were saved by God then; since I had quit I would have never commented on that but today I will as I am writing.
Yesterday I told Tant as I mentioned above that I will open only but yesterday's episode changed my decision and here I am today. Past 8 episodes whenever I watched, as usual I realized the tracks in bits and pieces; since I was not penning so, never had that urge to figure out the minute details in each episode. Yesterday's episode changed all that. All was ok with the track but two words, mind it two words "10 number" and "2 people out of Delhi" was irritating me like a "Thorn" in my throat. Since the moment I watched the episode, the promo is in the Hut, ASR said ILU, I was failing to understand why Khushi said those two words??? As far as I know she should have said something else; then what it is that Gautam designed and I am not able to figure out. Or is it Nissar's design or they both did??? As you all know me, I sat with a pen and a paper and then opened the number PDF in the laptop and started reading the Number Etymology again from the beginning and then started to link with all the episodes from May 21st till May 30th and the moment I reached to the conclusion, you know what happened??? I was NUMB, I repeat, I was NUMB for a minute. Neither I could type nor could I hold the pen. Spellbound I was, all I can say. So so beautiful design it is that compelled me to change my decision of not to analyze because I am not the person to keep it to myself and show my Ego, naah, I am not that. How can I not share the same with you all??? The first person I shared this is with Purvi and kept her awake till 12am, her time; she too went numb after hearing that. Look at my fate here??? Today is the day I have to open Redux forcefully and yesterday in the evening this happened. This love-hate relationship with IPK is what I have left I guess. Let's start then, shall we???
Screenplay. This is the strongest department of IPK. Isn't it Gautam?? I know you know this and so does Gul and so we. Right??? The TRP of the preceding week of May 21st was the lowest as per my knowledge. Isn't it??? I guess Star have called your office and wanted to have a chat with Gul and team; you might have also attended that meeting. Star demanded an answer from you regarding the decline of TRPs from 4.1. Right??? With all the discussions that happened, Gul and team have decided to release their biggest "Trump Card" and you did. You all have decided to shot a quick promo and aired it on immediate Tuesday so that from Wednesday you all get your TRP count and baam the TRP will shot because all the hungry souls of IPK was waiting for this moment since 11 months. Isn't it??? Can you imagine Gautam what you did???
Let me tell you. You are designing the tracks ahead with "Number Etymology" right??? I donno about Janaki but this much I can tell you, even your team didn't warn you. Number 11 is "Imperfection" and "Disorganized" and you chose to do that after 11 months??? If this is not "IRONY" then what is??? Tell me here. Who's product is "Number Etymology"??? Yours or Gul's??? Banging your head, isn't it??? Well, what's done is done.
I will give you one example. Do you know why Osama Bin Laden had chosen 09.11.2001 to attack the twin towers??? See here:- 9 is to know the difference between right and wrong and also judgment; 11 is the imperfection that America is according to him; 2001 = 3 which is Completion, Divine fullness and Perfection. This was the Judgment according to Osama. What he did was horrendous but this is how he might have chosen the date.
The weakest department of 4 Lions is Editing and Decision making. I can justify Gul's panic attack but how can you, Gautam, sabotage your product and design??? You know what was much sad here that you have used number etymology to do the "Union of Souls" but then you have DESTROYED the basic foundation of "Soul mates" here. How??? How did you not look at other side of the coin??? Creative wise the track was perfectly designed then what was the need for verbal confession??? When in the world the "Soul Mates" needed to "VERBALIZE" their feelings to each other??? Tell me??? Creative wise this was one of the most pathetic decisions you have made. Forget the business wise decision. That was even more pathetic. I mean releasing your biggest trump card in such a tacky manner??? There was no prelude to the event, no pathway designed, out of the blue he popped up, no justification to what he said, nothing. Damn it Gautam, you think I didn't understand that this was "Union of Souls"??? I did and the best part was you knew that you made the biggest blunder and then wanted to clarify. But my question is to whom??? I'll tell you. Why people clarify and to whom they clarify??? People clarify when they know they did a massacre and they clarify to the people who were unhappy and to their peers. Yes, your clarification was not for the 99% happy viewers but to that 1% niche whose OPINION is important to you. You VALUE them and their Judgment. When that segment was devastated it also left you shattered. You wanted to clarify your stance to the people who value your work, that's why you clarified. Am I right or wrong here???
When I was going through your answer sheet, then it left me thinking why Gautam saying this??? Mid-life crisis clad audiences behaving like teenagers and we have better things to do in life??? I was WOW. This man have the GUTS. Me likey. Then wanted to ask you on which basis you said this??? The lead lady of IPK adores Salman Khan and what is his age??? 45 plus isn't it??? Who are the fans of Salman Khan??? These mid-life crisis clad women / men, right??? So, this goes like - "you brought these audiences in by putting Salman Khan and then you only taunting these women/ men who watch your serial". WOW. Shall I laugh or shall I cry??? I have no idea. One last question. Salman is also in mid-life crisis right??? So, you watched his teri meri song sequence with a girl half his age and also watched while he was singing tere mast mast do nain with another girl (sorry I didn't watch either movies); right ??? I hope you enjoyed watching an "Actor" in his mid-life crisis behaving like a "Teenager".
Oh yeah I forgot watch it as an entertainment. Right??? Tell me if everyone in the family starts cooking then who will earn the money for the ingredients and groceries??? So, some watch it for entertainment and some watch to learn from it. Do you deny that??? I will show you that I try to learn rather than just "Watching". Sorry that's how I am. Not just a "Google Fed" Critic.
Next time before writing or sweeping away a chunk of your audience please check what your Assistant have written in the NOTE. I don't think this is written by you because this idea CANNOT come from the BRAIN who brilliantly designed the tracks ahead till Shyam's judgment with "Number Etymology". No, and if I am wrong then I must admit that I have not yet learnt to judge people.
Before I get into analysis I want to seriously criticize Gautam's work here. You know Gautam, I liked the symphony of "Right here Waiting for you" when Payal was in "Royal Cafe". But today I really want to show you where your team did a mistake. I watched "Kahani" last to last weekend and you know the favourite part of the movie for me was the "Screenplay" where Inspector Rana was stuck with the computer error message and Vidya kneeled to correct it. That moment you can feel the blood flow running in his arteries and how it was depicted you know??? When the other inspector who entered the room was humming (not singing) the song - "Amaro porano jahan chai, tumi tai, go"; it means - "what my heart wants, is only you". Brilliant. That is what you call a "Screenplay".
The same way Gautam, you tried the scene with Payal and the new entry. I sensed it that moment when Payal was constantly calling Aakash and the back ground was Richard Marx's - "Right here waiting for you". Why Gautam??? That song hinted the future separation but it didn't depict the current emotion of Payal; her pining for Aakash's one glance; her urge for him; her anger that he was not picking up the phone; her wanting to see him because he is the only one who can bring that smile on her face; who lights up her face. At the same time you also needed to hint the future track that there will be someone who is going to be close to her; You know what I would have done??? I would have put the song - "Have I told you lately that I love you".
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Look at the lyrics??? The first one is for her pining; the second one would have been perfect when the new entry would have entered; the third one again when Aakash was busy at work and never realized the call; if you have given this I would have been proud that I know your brain, which I still am anyway. Because what I will write now, I know after reading, many will forgive you for that note. Now, this is how I learn while "Watching" and this is what "Entertainment" is to me, a vast world of "Knowledge". Still if you or anyone wants to call me a "Google Fed" critic, please do the honors.
Let me first list the tracks for you because since I stopped writing there were some changes in the track as well as some inclusions. I may not explain everything in detail because of the length of my post but please keep this post in reference till next week until I complete explaining the tracks. I will go by the flow when I start so you all can understand. Below I am listing the tracks and then Read me carefully.
1. Union of Souls
2. David and Solomon and Adonija
3. ASR/Khushi/Maami wolf and the lamb
4. Terrace to Temple for ASR and Khushi
5. Hospital and Maami learning of the truth
6. Shyam's Redemption
7. Maami's blurt to Anjali
8. Mary Elizabeth and Moses hideout in Seeshmahal where baby birth
9. Shyam's judgment as in 24 during Dussehra - Ramayan Track
Let me take you to the episode of May 21st. That is the episode they have started with "Union of Souls". But I guess it was not much hinted on May 18th but the union of souls was related to that episode as well. Hence, you have to refer these 2 analysis - "Little drops of dew" and "Mrig Trishna" for your clarifications when needed. When we do "Number Etymology" we need to understand that for a particular number there are many definitions. On May 21st, Khushi received the call from Arnav which was triggered by the Kidnapper was at 9:27pm. Right??? I have explained the numbers in the analysis Mrig Trishna, but there was also one track they started to follow was of "Union of Souls". I will be touching only this track as they ended today and I didn't analyze also.
Let me touch the numbers for you here once again:-
Number 1= Unity
Number 2 = Double witness or Division
Number 3 = Completion . Divine and also it requires 3 people to witness truth and establish a LAW ; 3 is also Spirit, Soul and Body
Number 4 = Materialistic / Earthy works by God; A square is earth and a circle is Divine
Number 5 = Grace / Favor
Number 6 = Trials Man, 6 days of work / trials / Stigma
Number 7 = Spiritual Perfection. 7 is also like 2 floods by which Earth is cleansed and brought to perfect order of Kingdom; 7 is also the mystery of God is finished when the seventh Angel blows the trumpet.
Number 8 = Redemption / New Birth in a believer
Number 9 = Learning to discern right and wrong and this is within one's SOUL and not established truth or Law
Number 10 = New Beginning / Divine Order / Law; it is declaring or pronouncing the sentence according to Law.
Now, the phone call from Arnav's mobile was at 9:27pm. Here in the "Union of Souls" track, this is a biblical verse.
Mathew 9:27 - Jesus healed 2 blind people.
In our context, aesthetically 2 blind people can see the truth. Here is the beauty of the track. Did you notice after the ILU by ASR it is Maami who is involved with Khushi??? I hope you remember that I said there are 7 Angels /Dwarfs??? They are - Naani, Maami, Mama, Payal, Buaji, Bauji, Garimaji. Right??? Out of this 7 people who doesn't believe Khushi and most probably will not be willing to believe her??? Yup, It's Maamiji, the 7th Angel. Did you all notice that Maamiji said number 7 many a times in the past week??? And yesterday when Khushi was on the phone she said - "10 numbers mile, par kuch nehin mila". Well this number is very very tricky here and it was the missing puzzle piece in all the tracks. Above I have listed all the ongoing tracks right??? Now each track will have almost the same numbers but the "Usage" of them will be different. The question here is why Khushi said Number 10. When in the entire tracks they are either saying the numbers is time or days or months or mins??? Khushi also said - "2 log delhi se bahaar hain" and "Aakhri pate pe koi ghar nehin hain". Now this phone call is also for "Terrace to Temple" track which I will touch later and this number is also the proof for Maami being the 7th Angel.How??? What is the last chapter of Bible??? Akhri add pe koi ghar nehin hain. Yes, it is also the chapter and that is the "Book of Revelations". What does Rev 10:7 say???
Rev 10:7 :- The Mystery of God is finished when the 7th Angel blows the trumpet.
Look above what is the definition of number 3, 7, 10. If I put it for you then it means - To establish a Truth /Law, we need to have the witnesses of 3 people but it requires the 7th Angel to blow the trumpet. Hence, Maami needed to see the "Truth" and also needed to be involved in the numbers 3,7,10. If time permits check may 30th episode where Maami ordered Khushi - "tum 3 places jaaogi". Remember??? Now, this is the Angel which is very very important. Remember I said Maami can be Bond, but I loved that the CVs made Maami the 7th Angel. Perfect.
Now, again back to 9:27. The other person to see the truth is "Arnav". Right??? What is number 9 again??? Apart from judgment, this number also denotes the "ability to learn to discern right and wrong and this is within one's SOUL and NOT established truth or Law". Now this is where "SOUL" realization comes into picture. When the message came Khushi slept for 6.5 hrs. right??? This means 6 days of her trials and then she woke up at 4 am. Number 4 denotes both earthly and divine union; be it with anything. Now, here the CVs have broken and made 2 tracks:-
1. Union of Souls (it requires - 1,2,3,4,5,7,9)
2. Earthly Union which is physical union (it requires - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
For the Union of Souls, the establishment of truth (7 and 10) is not required but for the Earthly Union, the established of truth (7 and 10) is required. Because it's the number 9, where the Spirit or soul of the man learns to judge the right and wrong and doesn't require any material evidence from number 10. This is for soul to soul connection. But for the union of souls we needed number 4. There were only once number 4 that Masala Maama uttered in ASR's room just before he verbalized his feelings. Remember??? But then after that it was not there. Here comes the beauty in the script writing.
Remember the episode where Khushi "circled" the PDA advertisement in the newspaper and which Shyam didn't even notice??? And remember the episode where Khushi follows Shyam and he uttered the word - "Chauraha" ??? what is chauraha??? It has various meaning in all the tracks. It means, "Square", "Middle of the road", "Temple". Yes, Chauraha is a square with four open sides, which is a temple. But right now it means - "square", which as I said above is "earth", which is number 4. Circle is divine completion and she started the search from PDA, right??? who helped her???The 7th angel, Maami. But was number 10 completed??? No. We don't need it completed because that is where the "Terrace Confrontation" will happen. ASR had his realization in the airport while leaving. He had started to discern between the right and the wrong. Isn't it??? That is why when he spoke on the phone he uttered the 3 words. But was it necessary here??? Absolutely NOT. This is "Union of Souls" and we didn't need those words which is why I said above that it contradicted the "Basic Foundation" of the "Soul Mates". Soul mates never needed to utter anything like Khushi was quiet on the phone and ASR understood the "Silence". The same way ASR could have said anything or even kept quiet, Khushi would have still sensed that he is in problem for as J.K. Rowling says ~ "And he knew that at that moment, they understood each other perfectly, and when he told her what he was going to do now, she would not say 'be careful' or 'don't do it', but she would accept his decision because she would not have expected anything less of him".
Didn't Anjali give both the "Tickets to happiness"??? yes, she did. Even Maami blessed her yesterday and ordered to stay there. Didn't she??? When this is metaphorical then why the "Words"??? Above all where was the thought process in ASR's mind on how he reached there??? I understand the "little drop of dew" that he was holding in his hand which is the "Pompom" but that is not sufficient. Where was the monologue like Khushi had before "Nadaani kar baithe"??? Without that you can NEVER justify the verbalized "ILU" that you had showed and Thank God today Khushi was interrupted.Looks like the rectification is happening. Today they met and did you all realize that how beautifully the loop was closed???
Blood. What is blood??? Blood is iron; blood is also life. Blood is also warmth. I will touch on the warmth part may be Monday as that is related to the track David/Solomon/Adonija (Arnav/baby/Shyam). Yes, there are many tracks I have yet to unfold and will touch one by one. Blood is also love and witness to the love story of Arnav and Khushi. When Arnav and Khushi was engaged in the temple Khushi was hurt and today we saw when she entered in her new beginning (10) where she submitted her SOUL to her soul mate, Arnavji, she had put her blood on the door just like a bride puts her stamps when she enters her heaven (Saket), her husband's home beside the Swastika. This is the reason I sensed that Nissar Parvez is back. The Union of Souls has been completed. Indeed. There is no space for Misunderstanding anymore.
Quickly I will say why the earthly union will happen later; did you remember the Bank Message on Shyam's phone??? I will anyway touch later on with details on each track, but just will say that the cheque number was "5714". This is the sequence the earthly union will happen. Which will start from Tuesday, I guess. Monday I will touch on many minute details.
Before I leave as I promised that I will tell you why I went NUMB and felt that Nissar is back. Refer to para above where I described the phone conversation between Khushi and Maami on may 31st. She said - "10 numbers and kuch nehin mila", "2 people out of Delhi", "Aakhri add par yahan ghar nehin hain". Recall, Maami asked her the other day to visit "3 places" right??? This is the track from Terrace to Temple and I will need a marathon post to describe and link with numbers which I will do Monday. But the Great News is again refer above where I did Rev 10:7. The same way we need to do Rev 10: 2-3 for Khushi - Arnav here because 10, 2, 3 was for Khushi and said by Khushi since the medicine search. Right??? what does the scripture say???
Rev 10:2 :- And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
Rev 10:3 :- and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.
Who is water and left??? It's Khushi
Who is Land and right??? It's Arnav.
Who is in the last address where there is no home and chauraha ??? Yes, it's middle of the Road and there is Arnav.
Who stretched his arms like an open book??? It's Arnav
Who gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion ??? Yes, It's Arnav.
What happened then??? The voices of seven thunders spoke , which is RAIN.
These are all the places Khushi searched Arnav that day right??? And also Khushi roared when the kidnapper hit her on the head. This is the track for Arnav's Repentance and also the path from Terrace to Temple which I will explain on Monday in detail. So, who all are NUMB now??? Does't it look like Nissar and Gautam teamed up???
Remember my confession analysis (May 16th ) where I said "That day when he will CRY I want the NATURE to cry too so that all his SINS are washed away".
Enjoy the Weekend. I leave you with a quote by Steve Maraboli ~
