😉 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DC
Arnav Khushi ki tumhe aao sunaye storiyan
woh mille Lucknow mein
ajnabi dono the
ladh pade takrar mein
bichade the dono wahan
phir mile dilli mein
bekhabar ek baat se
woh ladh pade takrar mein
phir bichade dono wahan

Come fall in love ...
EPISODE -007
An incredible start of an incredible series ... the first 5 days of the show ... gave us the promise of some magic .. & today we know the magic was not just dust .. but huge flakes which has us in its grips even a good few months after the show has ended ..
Episode 7 ... if you got the story in EPISODE 2 ... you got the SCREEN PLAY in Episode 7 ...
Honestly this morning i thot i will do the 2 min watch of the episode (fast forward to just the gist) .. but the moment i switched it on .. i was stuck .. watched the whole 22 mins ...
I am going to break this episode in 3 parts .. the 3 most important parts of the SERIES ..
Reflect on these 3 parts .. & you get the entire screen play of the show ... 😃 ( seriously wondered thru the show why people bothered to predict on this show .. the show was outlined for us within the first 7 episodes 😉)
PART 1 ---
"itni shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai
ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai...
They met ... they fought .. they parted ... then they met again .. they fought .. they parted ... then they met once again .. the fought & they parted ...
Was there a pattern here .. ofcourse .. dint NK say it right ... ISS WAR KO KYA NAAM DOON ...
I will take u back to an earlier post of mine .. where i asked u guys .. what would've happened if Khushi instead of ALL GUNS BLAZING at Arnav when they met again would meet .. Broken & lost .. ?? do reflect on that ... most of u will get the answer to the BIG ques i asked in yesterdays DC .. WAS ARNAV REALLY PREJUDICED ???
Ok today am in a mood to blow some myths ...
Go back to the dargah episode ... Khushi met Arnav .. he has no adverse reaction on seeing her .. he doesnt start firing ... till KHUSHI starts in on him ...
Again watch episode 7 ... Arnav is shocked to see the lady who sets his heart going DHAK DHAK ... but is quiet till KHUSHI comes out all guns blazing at him ...
Now connect this to the first HOT TEA throwing incident ... she throws tea at him .. & then comes to apologise to him .. the moment he sees her crying & apologetic .. he crumbles .. he is LOST ...
Note everytime Arnav is mean to Khushi & is extremely rude to her ... he stops & looks back at her to see the reaction of his words on her ... this was a pattern as well ..
Now connect this to Payal's dialog when Arnav brings Khushi home in a faint after the guest house incident ... She says .. WHY R U DOING THIS .. U R DOING THIS SO THAT ONE DAY SHE WILL BREAK ...???
Now once again i will ask u guys to watch all these epis .. & come back lets have a discussion >> WAS ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA PREJUDICED ??? OR WHAT MADE ARNAV TICK ... WHEN HE WAS PRESENT IN KHUSHI'S PRESENCE ...
ok ok .. just cause i am a sweet person .. one more clue ...
When Khushi leaves Arnav while there is 12 days remaining on their marriage contract .. & Arnav pays the rent on Buaj's house ... he tells khushi ... " TUMME EGO NAHI HAI KYA ??"
Ok back to the scene in hand ...
superb in its meaning .. & intensity ... Arnav Singh Raizada .. a self made man .. runs a highly successful business ... which he built from scratch ..
DID HE JUST CHALLENGE KHUSHI ... did he goad her into paying for his car repair ... OR DID HE LEAVE A DOOR OPEN .. FOR THEM TO MEET AGAIN ... like he did after the dargah episode ...
Now reflect on the famous OM SHANTI OM dialog i have listed above ... when these lovers met on a starry night in Lucknow .. their fates intertwined ... they were meant to be .. HE WAS LOST In rose bud lips ... she clutched & held on to the man who would complete her ... he let her go that night .. with one regret .. HE DINT KNOW HER NAME ... but the next time he met her .. he made sure she would cross his orbit again ...
Now focus .. was that Arnav's way to find out the girl who had fallen into his axis .. & made him loose his orbit ... The TV report would expose the name of the girl right ... KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA ... 😉😉 ( this is a reflection of layered writing at its best)
YES they both wanted to be with each other .. whether they consciously admitted it to themselves or not ... she kept picking up on his challenges .. ( there is a payal dialog in this episode .. where she says .. USKI WAJAH SE TUMHARA CHAIN CHINN BHI GAYA)
The entire Universe conspired with DM to get these 2 together ... because these 2 wanted to be with each other ...
Perhaps the most revealing dialog of this segment was by Khushi ... " HUM YAHAN GHAR BASANE THODI NA AAYE HAI" ... whoops ... a serious look into KHUshi's mindset 😉 .. hence when i watched the Lucknow leaving episode ... i got the feeling of "bidaai" ... it was bidaai surely ... 😃
PART 2 ---
A few DC's back .. i had asked you .. WAS ARNAV an Aethist .. or was his belief so deeply burried that it did not find space to surface .. & the day he opened his heart .. he let the "faith" inside him come back to life ??
Please reflect on this ...
IPK was a story which had many layers .. if u watched it & understood only the surface layer .. it blew u .. but if u delved deeper & saw the layers below .. u were mind blown by the deepness & correctness of characterisation .. THIS STORY MIGHTVE been a LOVE STORY ... but this LOVE STORY ... was narrated thru the eyes of ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA ... ...
Now back to the above segment ...
I so loved the look of Jayashree T ... here her eye make up is less intense .. she looks so much better here ... Loved the Arnav here as well .. he is a 14 year old boy wrapped in a 27 year olds clothes ... the TRUE essence of IPK ... after this episode u will see Arnav go head on head with NANI .. but this episode showed u the true relation, respect & love he felt for her .. which was once again brought out when he comes back from his kidnap track .. do u remember when he asks his nani to make the puri aalo for him or rather Khushi .. he was back to the 14 year old boy ..
The subtle underlying meaning of the picturisation was truly mind blowing ...
Now i would recommend watch this segment closely .. cause the basis of IPK was actually told to us in this episode & this segment ...
let me list the dialog .. u wont need an explanation after that ..
Nani : Jiss raftaar se aap chalat hai .. uss raftaar mein swayam ke alawa sab kuch dhundla nazar aavat hai
Arnav: Nani mujhe sab kuch saaf saaf dikhai de raha hai
Nani: Galat jagah dekh rahe hai aap .. sirf aage nahi .. nazar ghooma ke peeche bhi dekh lijiye .. har peedhi aane waale peedhi ko kuch seekha ke jaat hai ... par raftaar thodi dheemi ho tabhi sahi aur galat ki pehchaan ho
Wasnt this the basis of the MU at IPK ... ??????
Arnav sees Khushi in Shyams arms .. hears her say .. "agar yeh rishta aapke liye kuch mayne hi nahi rakhta toh chhod dijiye Anjali ji ko"
he jumps to conclusion that SHyam & Khushi were having an illicit affair .. which is further fanned by SHyam .. who realises this is the conclusion Arnav reached .. remember Shyam was privy to the growing closeness of Khushi & Arnav .. he knew they were going to be one sooon ...
Arnav quickly ties Khushi to himself ... by marriage ...
Now had he reflected on Nani's dialog ... stopped a moment .. lessened his speed ... he would probably have drawn a parrallel with his DADS life ... what his dad did ...
Cause wasnt SHyam a recreation of Arnav's dad ... ??
Now reflect back to the middle of the road MU clearance by Khushi .. she too tells Arnav .. " par aapko shaadi karne ki itni jaldi thi" ...
Tha base of the IPK MU & the Clearance of the same was listed in this episode ..
Now lets go to the BIG ONE ... the clearance of the MU .. Arnav did not need anyone to prove to him that KHUSHI was innocent .. HIS HEART TOLD HIM THAT ... all he needed was KHUSHI telling him the TRUTH ... she told him the truth .. but at first ARNVAV was still running in the same speed ... the moment he was in seclusion ... when he was kidnapped .. THE moment he got a moment to REFLECT .. & LOOK BACK ... He trusted his KHUSHI ... he connected the dots .. found the parallels ...
Thats the day .. Arnav foumd his faith once again ...
Go 2 the episode when Khushi lies dead in Arnav's arms .. if u notice the back drop .. it is a temple ... he beleives that day that they r one .. a pragmatist .. belives that they can hear each other ... their hearts talk ... he beleived that day .. that there was a DIVINE CONNECTION ...
YES ARNAV FOUND HIS FAITH & BELIEF again that day .. & what did it take ...all it took was for him to slower his pace .. & look back at life ...
So this is Nani's part of the dialog .. now reflect on Arnav' s dialog .. he says he can see things clearly .. YES HE COULD .. he wanted KHUSHI tied to him .. the entire Payash marriage track was all about Arnav's possessive streak ... which culminated on the bed after KHUSHI's faint .. where he told her .. " kahin jaane ki zaroorat nahi hai .. yahin baithi raho"
Yes Arnav saw clearly what he wanted .. & he went after it in his way .. HE TIED HER IN ... but kept a exit clause for himself .. knowing NO WAY IN HELL he would let her GO .. ...
Reflect on the scene when Arnav tells KHUSHi after she wants to leave him... have u thot what u will tell the family ... SO ditto arnav .. when he proposed a 6 month marriage he had no intention of breaking it off .. hence he always pretended ( hardly pretend) that theirs was a LOVE MATCH ... cause Deep down .. ARNAV BELIEVED THEIRS WAS A LOVE MATCH ... ARNAV BELIEVED IN KHUSHI'S INNOCENCE .. hence he thru the series refers to her innocence time & time again ..
NOW the best part of this segment ... immediately after nani & arnav interaction .. anjali comes upon Arnav .. she offers him the kurta ... but then she senses all was not well with Arnav .. she asks him what happened on the way ???
NOW pause here .. since Arnav Pauses here ... he stops to think .. he wants to say a lot has happened .. but he just whispers .. "kuch khaas nahi" ... NOTHING IMPORTANT ... liar liar pants on fire ..
KUCH KHAAS TOH HUA NA ... isiliye u paused ...
This caught me big time .. cause it was just after Nani asking him to pause .. he paused .. he FELT HER .. but he was not yet ready to accept HER ...
PART 3 --
"aapke haath mein chatri hoke bhi aap bheeg gaye
aap yeh apne paas hi rakhiye ... humare paas devi maiya ki chatri hai "
An incredible dialog ... an incredible setting .. an incredibly deep meaning .. the brilliance of this one dialog seriously made me wonder .. just how many layers of IPK did i still have to unearth ..
Yes Shyam Manohar Jha had his "chatri" ... Anjali Jha ... but his greed to amass more .. made him leave the 'shade' of Anjali .. & become vulnerable .. He had Anjali .. he wanted Khushi ... & he wanted both of them at the same time .. but by wanting Khushi .. he left himself open to exposure ..the exposure of his true intent .. his GREED ..
While KHushi did not need Shyam .. she did not need his HELP .. his PROTECTION .. his MONEY ... his ANYTHING .. cause DM .. had given her .. her chatri .. ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA ...
Now note .,. whenever Khushi was in need of Money .. she never took the help of Shyam ... but it was always inadvertently Arnav who stepped in & solved her problem ... whether it was Babuji's hospital bill .. whether it was marriage of Payal .. whether it was saving babuji;s shop .. OR WHETHER IT WAS SAVING KHUSHI FROM SHYAM ...
Her own PERSONAL UMBERELLA ... ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA ... now when u connect the dots .. doesn't the brilliance of the script writing of IPK blow ur mind away ...
PHEW bahut kuch likh diya ...
But that was the beauty of IPK screenplay writing ... the way the scenes were intertwined with one another .. u know when i sit & reflect now .. i am ashamed at the number of times i pulled up the Direction team on continuity .. TV is a writers medium .. while movie is a directors medium .. YES Direction missed the boat a couple of times on IPK .. BUT .. the story & screenplay .. was down pat .. the continuity maintained was MIND BOGGLING ...
KUDOS .. Team 4 Lions ... this is your BEST YET ...
ENJOY READING ...
GUD DAY & hey CU AT THE IPKS ..
