PEARLS !!! ..The recurring leit motif in the saga of Arnav-Khushi 's Life !! The Pearls initiated their journey and now we stand here today when they are at the culmination point !! ...Their first meeting was one where Arnav cruelly , mercilessly and ruthlessly tore at the pearls, scattering the pearls and shattering her life ...Today the self same Raizada Arnav has lovingly strung together the scattered pearls in a string and offered it to her with respect , restoring what was taken away on that fateful day !! ...This is his way of seeking forgiveness of the rash act, this is redemption of the error that he had committed ..Not for him the , crying and bawling, Not for him the tolling of bells in the temple and craving forgiveness.. Arnav rectifies his omission quietly, with dignity and humility ....The sincerity of his attempt is understood by Khushi, The shimmery tear drop courses down on her cheeks and purifies the pearls and thereby absolving Arnav of his guilt... of ridding him of his sin ...
But was this all there was to it !! ...No..The Pearl scene also hinted at more ... From the first day, we have always been flabbergasted and flummoxed by the oscillating stand of Khushi ..One day a young girl another day a Juvenile while yet another day she would be a child !! ...In all this persona's..Khushi was alternatively,, scared , terrified, fascinated, puzzled, confused, attracted to Arnav ..She knew something was there but she could not figure it out nor finger the emotions, The emotions dwelt deep inside her like a pearl reposing inside its shell.. buffeted by the currents, absorbing the sand and grit and yet untouched by it all , so was the feminine of Khushi !!...
Haven't I been saying that this is the phase where Khushi's education is beginning , her mentor is none other than Arnav Singh Raizada who will guide her and be the beacon into this new territory ... He has slowly, firmly and purposefully has begun to walk her through the path of Love, He commenced the voyage by slowly making her aware that his physical proximity sends her pulse racing, by enlightening her that her eyes are the windows to soul and her soul sings to him, By making her conscious of the fact that He is doing all this things only for her, to see her smile cuz she is valued, respected, cherished and adored by him... This consistent message has not gone in vain , the message has been understood , even though the implications are still hazy.. Like A shy clam, the woman who was hidden inside the shell is slowly opening up, there is a shyness and awareness , there is longing and hesitancy , there is the attraction and a fear...but Khushi has begun to embark and explore her femininity in the company of Arnav !!

Now begins my electric jolt ..
On Friday while having our usual chat , Doodsie suddenly out of the blue asked me,"How the episode was?"... *That Usually is my Dialogue* caught unawares , I spontaneously replied , it was good but I got interested only when "14 Years" & "Subhadra" came up !! Her Swift repartee, "Why?" ...Till then Although I had subconsciously liked the " Subhadra', I had not pondered on WHY?/ Why had I liked SUBHADRA.. When Doods asked WHY ??...I got the jolt..WHY?? cos Subhadra was the mother who saw her son entering the chakravyuh in the belief that his uncles will back him up but dieing in the process !!
It was at this time the Films etymology was also running in my head ..I knew there were connections , I could sense the connections but for me the link was missing.. The link connecting them all was missing ...That is when Bush/Arhimaniac let loose a Gem..She said ,"Dil Se" * Thanxx babess*...That was my Mentos moment !!
History repeats itself !! Years ago , There were 2 brothers , one quite upright in his own way * although tending to have Grey shades * , The other was a weak, avaricious Younger brother , manipulative, good at exploiting the weakness of others and greedy ..The Shakuni of the IPKKND !! ..He saw his brother getting attracted to a common middle class girl with fiery temperament instead of warning his brother of the consequences, He actually flamed his desires, flamed it to such heights , that the moral lines began to blur for the senior Malik, he begun to pursue this girl or perhaps She did or she may have been lead to believe that the Senior Malik will leave his wife and marry her , giving her the dignity n respect ..But responsibility awoke in Malik or perhaps he feared the consequence ..No Matter , He refused to honor the promise made ...The love of that volatile girl turns to anger , her sense of justice seeks retribution !!
Time turns , Malik has become Raizada , He has come far away from his past but the past is like a restless ghost , it has begun to stir and turns..Once again the Cycle starts ...The fires of vengeance has not abated ... The Family which saw the deaths of two people , is still undergoing the trauma of that tragic death..The ghosts will not lie low, they need closure !! the girl needs closure ...So the leafs of History are turned back ... what was the other Movie that was mentioned ,"Akeyla"..The story of a loner, of a vigilant who seeks to provide justice for the death of his friends family ...here the family are not friends but his own yet not his own * Cos he has discarded Malik tag*
The Chakravuyh has opened again, This time it will be Arnav who will be foraying into the circle !!..But he will not go alone , I had previously said that Arnav is both Parth and Parthasarathy , Krishna/Arjun... Krishna will enter holding the knowledge of Arjun ..He will be followed by his faithful consort Satybhama /Khushi ..cos she has said ,hasn't she ??..Hum aarahe hain, aapke peeche peeche !! ..The Two enter the dark room , the darkened battle station and jointly bring in the light ...where finally Khushi holds the collected channas and the completely strung Pearls..where she successfully holds the Past and present in her little bhindi finger ..while Arnav towers over her , protecting her , safeguarding her..The Key to Raizada Happiness !!
Subhadra has come bringing with her the dusts of past, Arnav will have to enter the battlefield .to save his sister, A sister who is lost , whom Khushi has gone in search of , Khushi has successfully found the sister but the sister unknowingly has left the gate open for the monsters to enter ..Arnav will have no option but to fight , fight against the past, the past which wants vendetta but as Arnav so tellingly pointed out,"Ab tho sachi you have spilt the water " ..Yes.. All the plans n machination of that woman will come undone for she is fighting against a man who is just, who has suffered for no fault of his !! who is righteous ... He will win for she is not Just !!
Tants i am a broken record when i comment on your analysis but once again brilliant 👏
