the following is a post by TM Rima which can put cellotape to a lot of discussions
Now before you all say I am being negative or anything , let me confirm I loved the episode and loved ASR. Go read my other post for this: At last ASR
But this retribution does feel strange.
In this retribution the victim is not shown greater for forgiving. But the one doing the retribution is shown greater for giving scraps of love after tons of brickbat.
In this retribution, the victim is again a victim of others and the one who earlier victimized her is the hero and he again walks away with the heroic guy award
In this retribution, the harsh bitter words are not equalled with a 'I made a mistake' admission from the victimizer. Instead days later we get some gifts and words of love.
In this retribution there is no humuility from the victimizer. But the victim is still humbled.
Basically. what rankles is the fact that, we should feel Khushi's wounds were equalled by ASR's regret.
But instead we feel Khushi's wounds have been healed by a few sweet gestures...WITHOUT THE REGRET
That is what is missing. In the faraq padta hai track ASR felt her pain. Cried for her.
That is missing.
Hope IPK fulfilles that was too or this still feels incomplete...
Warning: All are in a good mood after the episode. So no bashing and fights. Let us peacefully debate this. I just had to understand why my dear friend Harshita felt something was missing and then I felt I can pin point what is wrong.
By the way there are many who believe ASR is complex.
ASR can't be Devdas.
ASR is unique
But tell me when he gave her gifts wasn't he being majnu?
When he ran after the ambulance wasn't he bing devdas?
When he beat up his employee wasn't he the posessive lover and husband?
When he faught with Dadi for her wasn't he the good husband?
So I refuse to buy this argument that sayong sorry or feeling regret will change ASR's 'character'.
They say there is no disgrace in being great or humble
Read this post u will get answer
in addition why he is not following ASR character
He left ASR character long back when he danced with Khushi on stage on sangeet. He is too Asr to dance,but he did.for his love, so why not bend now. Firstly he wudnt be ASR to fall in love and look ways for winning it back. In 2011 episodes whenever he hurted khushi whether contruction site, death anniversary, Lehenga showroom etc etc he came and felt hugely guilty within himself that he couldn't concentrate elsewhere.Somany instances are there. If he could be so emotional at that time then whats stopping him now. Even during later stages of hate marriage he tried to be harsh but couldn't be that much because he was not ASR.And now when everything is crystal clear, he should lead a flood of emotions flow from his side. Even if it means to cry and begging. Why do u think Crying is so unmanly.?He is a human, and in love there is no space for EGO. So he should surrender himself to Khushi not win over her. If he has cried before for Khushi so why not now?? God didn't invent a separate Love book with its rules for ASR.The feeling, the ways to approach are Universal.
When he saw that terrace scene, he drove his car to a lonely street and outbursted.That was emotional ASR we knew, not this one. So now when he realised khushi was innocent some similar outburst scene was expected, where he cries with pain for hurting his love but feels happy that thankgod khushi is Mine, she is not with shyam. Why no such scenes happened??Why love has to be taken for granted? Forget self character, people forget themselves in love to go to any extent even if its begging.
So giving this "character excuse" is not correct. Whats that love if u cant have guts to ask for forgiveness.Nani once said he hurts himself when found himself guilty. But instead he blackmailed khushi and brought her in.His character has been assassinated by Cv by showing him that he has so much attitude to ask for forgiveness. He is supoosed to mellow down after she saved him from Kidnap. Arnav character had never been consistent, In hate marriage also he was soft in many times. and defending wife, gifting jalebis are not appropriate answer to Khushi's pain rendered by him.
