IP REDUX; Parineeta !!!

An episode which is supposed be the epitome of pride in the hearts of viewers had left a void in them; an episode that should mark the landmark of IPK anniversary but somewhere it left a bitter taste. There were certain scenes in the episode which reminded me the wonderful screenplay work but then the planning and execution just devalued the hard work of the same. I seriously at this point have no idea what to judge and what not to judge. Screenplay I will talk about for sure because that was fantastic but can that be the only department which is responsible for success??? No. It cannot. I don't know why but today I feel like looking back at some of the important aspects of IPK success story. What is it that made IPK a success??? What is it that makes it special??? You know Olympics are knocking at the door and there were many categories of games where the competition will take place. If one is a very good swimmer then he/she cannot be good at Short put. Isn't it??? Same way we need to know the value of every single project. IPK when started a year back it took almost half a year to establish the "Brand Value" and also the "Chemistry" between the main leads. The screenplay was always the strongest department of IPK but the Direction and Editing department always complemented that. Now my question is where is that IPK??? Are we watching the same one we used to watch months back??? I have seen over the months that Direction and Editing department went from good to bad to worse now. The only department that is carrying along this series on it's shoulder is the "Screenplay and Design". What happened to the Direction and Planning department??? Forget about the "Editing" department; the less I talk about it is better. The situation has come to this phase now that even I overlook at the scenes. Actually not only the editing I feel the Direction have gone down so pathetic that even a 8 year old can figure out where the BD is and where the lead is. Simple example; ASR's SUV is fixed as per last screenshot outside RM right??? Every time when ASR is out of RM the screen shot will prove with NO SUV been parked outside; then after ASR returned to RM from Gupta House we again saw the screen shot of Safari outside RM to mark his presence there. Fine with me that the message was been delivered that the SUV is fixed. Then again we witnessed he took the Sedan to the airport before leaving the country so, technically the SUV should be parked outside RM isn't it??? But what we are seeing daily??? The same screen shot minus the SUV to prove that ASR is out of RM. Every time when I see it, just ignore it. But today after watching the so much hyped "Episode" I had to do a warm up - write up just to come in the mood to analyze. Believe me I am so glad to have taken this decision of never watching SBB/S and read any spoilers. As it is I hardly have time but boy am I glad that I never did watch them. Absolutely. I seriously have no idea what is the future of the people who are working in the departments of Photography, Editing and Directing but I am doubly sure the future is bright for Ved Raj, Gautam Hedge and Nissar Parvez.

Look at the scene where the "Union of Souls" were completed by the wall??? Imagine that Khushi with the Khushi in Diwali??? Imagine today's ASR with Diwali ASR??? No, I am not talking about the makeup or the attire. What I am talking is the attitude in these two scenes. Today's Khushi was more about worrying over the "Contract" part of the Wedding. Yes, indeed Khushi will; being a traditional girl she will; Damn it she is carrying a big burden of "Social Baggage" at this point. My question was not Khushi here but ASR. ASR knows this very well and yeah this girl trusted him also and above all she ignored all the accusations that he had bestowed her with. So, where is that part of ASR??? See the difference in how you have portrayed ASR.

He dimmed the light the moment he realized that he is entering Khushi's privacy while she was changing was ASR but where was that part of ASR when he was pulling off her string??? It is that logic which didn't sit with me. Union of Souls would have been completed anyway with any "Neck Kiss" but where is that "Empathy" of ASR??? what would have he done if the goons were not approaching??? I am not talking about the scene but I am talking about the intentions here. This is very very important for me and also for the story.Never ever sabotage the characteristics of ASR. Mind it he is the same person who didn't sabotage Lavanya's life and here we are talking about Khushi; the girl he is deeply in love with. Knowing ASR he needs to "respect her values and purity" before taking a step forward in that direction. The wedding clause needed to be cleared at least between them, if not that is spread in the society. Where is the mental support of ASR for Khushi??? Doesn't he know that what condition he had put on this girl while making her the "Dowry" for her sister's wedding??? What he thought??? He loves her so he can claim her and own her??? Nonsense. Who is writing the scenes in details here??? Did ASR have any idea Khushi was having hard time in giving in???

Ved Raj and Gautam hinted the "Social Stigma" coming back in the track now, so the scenes were changed to Khushi's hesitation in giving in. Of course Stigma was supposed to come and how is it possible to have any kind of earthy union without clearing it??? This doesn't mean that you will change the characterizations of ASR all of a sudden??? And yet who ever have written this scene and directed this scene did that. Damn it??? Such an important scene in the story line was massacred just because of direction and screenplay. Is this the same team writing the screenplay who wrote the ones in Diwali??? Who is taking the decisions here??? Some elements hinted Nissar gave the idea to carry forward and I doubt whether even one of the team members even paid heed to that. This is not how a team works??? There needs to be a symbiotic relationship.

And Gautam, I have no idea what to write here. Why do you keep changing the storyline every now and then??? One episode you hinted there is Stigma and the very next moment you change it; then again another episode you hinted there is Sleeping Beauty and the very next moment you change it; How exactly hard is it for you to make a proper algorithm and delegate the job to you team to work accordingly??? This is why the problem arises. They themselves brainstorm on a scene and then the brief changes for them to start all over again. Earlier the same thing you did. All of a sudden "Farak Padhta hain" track was scrapped and the again it reappeared during Sangeet; if this is the style you will work then tell me can you really blame your staff for not doing their job properly. If the "Boss" is oscillating in taking a solid decision then how will the team members do a better job??? They simply can't. Please my request what the track is right now is ABOs**tELY PERFECT and Do Not change it. You know what I say comes true isn't it??? Read the "Limited Dreams" analysis and you will know what I am talking about.

You know what the Psychologists say??? Right thinking will lead to right behaving and which will lead to right feeling. That's what was missing in today's episode. The thinking was hotchpotch and hence the outcome also did look like a mixed of emotions which left a bittersweet taste in the Viewer's Mind. What happened to the fantastic promotion that 4 Lions did??? The "Message" in the episode was perfect but the direction, editing and screen play murdered it completely.

Ok. My warm up is done and now I am all set to analyze. Do you all know what "Parineeta" means??? It means "A woman married in Soul". Yes, what did I say on Friday??? That the CVs have made 2 tracks here. Isn't it???

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 numbers and their usage as I said that refer to the "Union of Souls" analysis. Hence this was completed on Friday and today she submitted her soul to her Arnavji and became a married woman in soul. The best part of today's episode was the "Fireflies in the Earthen Pot". Now this is called "Aesthetic" and Nissar touch. Perfect. How many of you remember my "Dragonfly" analysis??? Didn't I mention there that when the dragonflies are matured they move to the air and and fly away; but the main characteristic of a dragonfly is they can fly back backwards when the need arises. Today exactly where the track of "Union of Souls" ended, the track for "Earthly Union" has started. This is the only part that was perfect in today's episode.

Before I get into some of the details let me paste the track ahead once again:-

1. Union of Souls

2. David Solomon n Adonija

3. ASR-KKG-Mami - wolf n the lamb

4. Terrace to temple and Stigma and Confession

5. Sleeping Beauty & Mami learning truth

6. Shyam's Redemption

7. Wedding

8. Mami's blurt to Anji

9. Rift between the Siblings

10. Another Attack on Anji/Baby

11. Mary Elizabeth with Baby Moses in Sheeshmahal

12. Shyam Judgement as in 24 during Dussehra - Ramayan Track

When Arnav told Khushi to count from 1 to 10, she started counting. Did you notice that the numbers were missing is 6,7,8 and when she uttered 9 and 10, then Arnav came back. Isn't it??? Now, this is called "Number Etymology". Remember in the last analysis I mentioned that in order to fulfill the union of souls we require numbers 1,2,3,4,5,7, 9 to be fulfilled. Now you might ask but number 7 was not there when Khushi were counting. Of course it was not there. How can that be??? Let's check the numbers again:-

Number 6 = Trials Man, 6 days of work / trials and 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; it also denotes judgment.

Number 10 = New Beginning / Divine Order / Law; it is declaring or pronouncing the sentence according to Law.

The number 7 denotes spiritual perfection but at the same time it also denotes that ASR needs to go through 2 floods by which he, as in earth will be cleaned. What is flood here??? Yes, it is the "Terrace Confrontation"; the first time when he witnessed it left him nowhere but then that picture which he called "Chaap gaya hain mere mann mein" needs to be wiped away and for that he needs another "Flood or Terrace Confrontation" to witness. Then and only then this "Brother in Arnav" will be justified. Till then there is no repentance and there is no establishment of the truth. The "Lover is Arnav" is saved and freed and that is what happened today.

What happened when Arnav got the fireflies in the earthen pot??? What does firefly mean here??? It has many meanings and one of them is it uses its light for mating but look at the beauty in the scene which I loved. Arnav got the fireflies in the earthen pot and Khushi liberated it; Arnav brought it which symbolized that he wanted to "Own" her but Khushi letting it fly away was metaphoric. It meant a spark of knowledge in a world of ignorance or darkness.

Remember my April 18^th Rangoli analysis, the "All at Sea"??? There I said that Khushi will guide the path ahead for Arnav to reach to the truth. Now see the connection here with Dragonfly. Didn't I say Arnav, Khushi and Anjali are Dragonflies??? Today we saw 3 Fireflies been saved and they flew out of the window freed in souls and how these 3 will be saved with the spark of knowledge in a world of ignorance.

Excerpts of the analysis on April 13^th - Dragonfly:-

I loved the Mirror scene by Hrishikesh Gandhi. Fabulous. It perfectly portrayed how Anjali was helping to see through his inner feelings and how it doesn't match with his outward actions. Too good work. Even the one where Arnav turned back to the mirror and remembered the exact FBs of Khushi's concern and how he thrashed her concern and then when he lowered his vision indicating how he felt ashamed of his actions. Fantastic Direction to the T and Barun Sobti was again brilliant. This is where he will now walk backwards like a Dragonfly to connect the dots.

What Arnav did today??? He decided to "Walk Backwards" and hand him over to the goons so that he can as well as save Khushi and also reach to the truth. Isn't it??? This also indicated that they are there to guide us to ways of living that are more earth-friendly, and soul-friendly. The fireflies flew away which also indicated that the souls of Arnav and Khushi are united and they are free of every contradiction between them and that now is the time Arnav and Khushi should rely on their inner voices for illumination. The firefly flew away through the window to guide to the future for Arnav and Khushi but at the same time it also indicated the "Stigma" that is coming pretty soon. The room became dark again and Khushi said - "Aap chinta mat mat kijiye, humhein darr nehin lag raha hain". This reminded me of the "Blackout Analysis". Who remembered that??? I said the "6 Months Stigma" will come just after the repentance and actual confession. The indication was when Khushi saw the watch as 7:30pm while she heard Shyam talking to meet someone at 8pm. Remember??? Yes, that moment was when she took off the bangles and payal; logically that for Shaym not to realize she following him but aesthetically that was for the upcoming stigma because the time was 7:30 and there were only 30 mins left till 8pm. 8 is Arnav's Repentance and this indicated that by hook or crook Shyam will try to blacken Khushi; how I don't know but it was indicated and this is how it should be. So, when the firefly flew away Khushi was left with the "Kalash", the earthen pot which is also an indication of "Earthly Union" isn't it??? Hence, first the darkness in Khushi needs to be wiped away by Arnav and then only their "Earthly Union" is possible. Isn't this idea of depicting beautiful??? It indeed is.

There were several hints for stigma too. The blood on the door and the broken bangle on the ground picked by the goons. Blood as I said denotes various things; it denotes life, love, warmth and also stigma. A blood spot can be taken as "Stigma" by any evil person. Notice when Khushi was counting the numbers she didn't say 6,7,8. Yup, as I mentioned above 6 is for stigma and trial period; What did Shyam say that day - "Aap ko ghar chod doon"??? and "Chaurahein ke beech mein". Isn't it??? Yea, there will be time when Shyam will put Khushi in the such a situation from here Khushi will have nowhere to go. This is why Arnav's repentance will have to be painful and he will take the blame on himself here to save Khushi; this is why Khushi said - "Aap humhein bachane ke liye apne aap ko chot de rahein hain". Khushi's trial period is over as Arnav knows the real Khushi now but Arnav's trial period have definitely started. Remember we need the number 10 to be completed and that is where we saw Arnav back to Khushi. Right??? but at the same time always remember Khushi's dialogue - "10 numbers mile par kuch nehin mila". That is related to Shyam's truth in the Terrace and also Arnav's Terrace to Temple walk. Just look above what I defined for number 10. This is also new beginning but at the same time it means - "Establishment of the truth".Here is the actual trick. Arnav and Khushi knows the truth of each other but in the order to establish the truth in Earth we need the judgment and also declaration of the truth isn't it??? This is where number 10 mila par kuch nehin mila fits in. Which also indicated that Shyam will blurt out the truth but at the same time Arnav will be devastated with the whole truth and he will be missing from there. This is why Khushi said - "I got 10 numbers but still didn't find Arnav". Isn't that what she said to Maami??? Nodding head is it??? Yes.

Then came 2 people out of Delhi. Remember Khushi said to Maami - "aap 2 jagah jaiye"??? Again Khushi informed her that 2 people were out of Delhi. Hence Maami being the 7^th angel will visit 2 places for Khushi and Arnav separately. One will be the "Sleeping Beauty" which is hinted today and the other is the "Temple" which was also hinted with aakhri add pe koi ghar nehin hain and which was near Laxmi Nagar. Laxmi is "Devi Maiyya" isn't it??? Nagar is area and place and which means Temple area. This is what is going to happen in the Terrace to Temple track.

The Sleeping Beauty track is back. Indeed. It was hinted on Friday when Khushi saved Arnav from the twig and hurt herself. Then it was hinted today with the hurt and her unconsciousness with the Kiss by ASR. Somewhere the "Will" is going to come and Khushi will hurt herself while saving Arnav. Here also I will state the David, Solomon and Adonija story. Remember the Bank phone message of Shyam??? Before I get into the numbers there I will say a little about the story here. Read me carefully here.

As King David was pretty old so to keep him warm his people got him married to a very beautiful young girl but King David never knew her worth. Even with clothes David couldn't be warm due to his age and this is when the young girl he was told to marry. King David had already decided that his son Solomon from his 4^th wife Bethsheba, will be the heir after him. But his son Adonija who was from another wife didn't obey King David's decision and he decided to move to a different place and declare him as the new King. He invited many but not Solomon and many prophets. In the meantime when this is heard by Solomon's mother, Bethsheba went to King David and informed of the same. Where in David made a plan on how to crown Solomon as the new King of Israel and blow the trumpet. Bethsheba then bowed down in front of King David and thanked him. Bethsheba and the Prophets did the same as ordered by King David. This is when Adonija came to know about Solomon being the King of Israel surrendered himself in front of Solomon as he was in fear of him identified himself that he was wrong and asked for forgiveness fearing that Solomon would kill him. But Solomon did say if Adonija proved to be worthy then he will be saved but if he proves to be evil then he will be killed. This is when King Solomon gave Adonija his last chance of "Redemption" and instructed him to "go to your house".But the twist in the tale is Adonija still was evil and to acquire the throne he wanted to marry David's youngest widow, that beautiful girl but when King Solomon came to know Adonija's evil plan, he had punished him and killed him.

This is the story that is going to be now between Arnav, Khushi and Shyam. The time of the message was 5:53pm which is 1 Kings 1:5-53. This is one episode which took for me multiple hours to decode. This is also one of the most beautiful scenes in IPK. Khushi checked the message and then came out; she then sent Laxmi and Shyam ridiculed her and pushed her outside and then Khushi bowed down to Laxmi and thanked her. Also Shyam mentioned in the phone about 8pm and the meeting place which is "Saket" meaning "Heaven". Now, one request, never take any Holy story and link it literally; just take the gist and that is what it meant. Well now you all might wanna know how I came to that. I know. I know. I will tell you and close this analysis.

It took me hours to figure btw. The Will was under the cradle and that is the fake one. Arnav never valued Khushi from the beginning even though she was his wife. The actual Will is in the name of "Nanhi Khushi". The episode before that Maami said - "I called 5 star thrice and nothing happened". The amount in the check was Rs. 5,00,000. Right??? Zero is star here. There were time of the withdrawal and that is 16:34:54. The place where the money was taken from is "Saket" at offsite which means "away from Heaven". Well where is the "Palace"??? It's RM right??? But Shyam wanted to declare himself as the King away from the Kingdom. When Laxmi was sent by Khushi, Shyam ridiculed and disrespected and sway her away and this is how he will never be able to acquire the kingdom, of course. Then Khushi bowed and thanked her for saving her life. This is when Shyam said - "1 min" and also that he will meet them at "8pm" at his area. He did invite his people but Khushi followed him right??? Rest you all know but here the trick is after Arnav the kingdom is in the name of "Nanhi Khushi" and Khushi is also a "Mother Figure" to her, isn't it??? Also I have said that Shyam will be given a third chance in Redemption and that is the last. How??? Here we go.

Number 16 is "Love"; Number 34 is "Identification" and 54-34 = 20. There is no such significance as number 54. Now how did Laxmi saved Khushi and Arnav??? Khushi found Arnav near Laxmi Nagar, and they both went to a separate place where they were united in souls and their "Love" have established. Now Khushi and Arnav's love will help them to plan on catching Shyam at the terrace and there is where the number 10 will be established by Shyam and he will identify himself as the "Culprit and blurt out his entire Masterplan". To enter into RM lawfully Shyam needed to identify himself as in number 34 and this is where he will be given the redemption where in Maami will be also involved in the last. Here is where the 5 star and 3 chances fits because we need the trumpet blow by the 7^th Angel. Fitting isn't it??? There is another one.

The cheque number - 5714 which is the flow of "Earthly Union". Because here the number 7 is crucial as it means another storm for ASR at the terrace and then and only then Shyam's number 8 fits as in ASR's repentance after this.

Only after 8 is completed the Confession will take place where ASR will adorn the "Payal" and the "Kangan" on Khushi and make her his own forever.

Here cometh the empty earthen pot which is "Kalash", a very very important ritual for a newly bride. The kalash is made of earth which is related to ASR and what generally we do in a kalash??? We fill it with water, right??? Hence, we will have water and earth united in the "Kalash" with the lid closed for eternity. Isn't this aesthetic??? This is what Gautam and Nissar did. We need the "PARINEETA" now to enter in her own home authoritatively and legally. The journey has just begun.
