Two burning question plague me as I start watching the episode. First, how many pool sides are there in Shantivan? Which room gives access to these poolsides and can you or can you not see from the main hall into the poolside? Second, how much dawai does Khushi's babuji really need and why is it that this dawai can't be bought in bulk and gets over every other day? Actually, something multiple times a day Garima rushes to buy medicine and not one person questions this.
I never got the labyrinth of Shantivan after speculating so much. Actually we had discussed this matter umpteenth time. unfortunately never could solve this. so I assumed that in Raizada house there is pool beside every room.😆
Garima's huffing and puffing was making me laughing. I wish if the creative would've better idea for garima's hide and seek than buying medicine every day.
The mehendi laga ke rakhna song I have liked a lot as a child, but this sequence isn't one of my favourites. Garima and Anjali were creeping about with panicked expressions and missing regularly, but no one seems to care much. And ASR already is standing with smiles in the middle of people dancing.
I am not a DDLJ fan and never liked mehendi laga ke song. But strangely I loved the song in IPK.
He did hug her. The love spilling out from his heart. I was reminded of that scene after he broke up with lavanya. He stood watching Khushi dance to salaame ishq. Her hair in curls, all dressed up was she. Her reaction to him then was much more memorable than the coy smiles now. Well, just my feeling entirely.
Enough of being flippant. The events to follow were hardly that.
I never understood the logic behind this elaborate plan that had a very low chance of success. In fact this whole insistence on making sure Anjali lost her child in the most brutal of ways seemed highly unnecessary. What if the doctor was to come out of that operation theater and announce that the mother was dead, then how would Shyam ever manage to re enter the halls of his deceased wife's home? So this whole idea of hurting the child is bloody, gruesome, horrific and senseless to the extreme.
Can't agree more. I already told it in Indy di's take that this whole plan looked nonsensical, OTT and extremely unrealistic. How shyam was so sure that Anjali would come to the room. all looked so silly.
Her feet are bleeding. She already suffers from a limp. She is a pregnant woman. She does not sit down and call someone. She forgets about her baby's well being, about herself. She continues in this quest of finding her Shyamji. If we are to believe this was possible, then it could only mean that Anjali in those minutes had completely lost any sense of self preservation of herself and her baby. She was obsessing about her husband. Delusional and blind was her devotion to this depraved man.
yes indeed she loved her husband more than the innocent baby in her womb. Firsty it was so weird that anjali who never took of her special shoes was walking bare foot. Another thing what I found really strange is her temerity. when she stepped on the rug and saw that her foot got cut, then why she kept walking on that rug! she could fold the rug or meticulously walk on the floor. it's a matter of common sense and I guess the CV lost it too.
Cameras. Broken glass. Raw wires. Layers of ruthless planning. I am appalled at how and why it was shown, when it could have easily been replaced with some other reason that Shyam found, to be brought back to Anjali. Really if she fell and died, what then? And did Shyam not care about his own flesh and blood? His baby.. Was he really that dysfunctional?
exactly my point. what he would've gained by killing anjali and the baby. Certainly no one would keep him at the house after Anjali's death, neither he is the shareholder of her property. I thought he planned just to kill the baby, not Anjali. so that he could get the sympathy as the father of the deceased baby to get in the Raizada house again. But how he was so sure that Anjali would survive after those horrific accident.
A shot of ASR as he watched his di fall had my blood curl. Did you see how his face froze? He had allowed himself to be unguardedly happy and then came a cry. Not his cry, that replays in his head. This time is was his di's cry.
The very same writers who have made this mess of story lines captured this terrible moment perfectly. Everyone else stood in shock while the man of action sprinted as if his life depended on it. The camera registered a blur as he ran towards his screaming, falling di. He would have been the first to react. That is just who he is.
A poignant memory flashed before him as they waited for the verdict. "Tum mama banane wale ho". His relation to the child. How happy had di been when she had seen a glimpse of the life take form in her womb for the first time! ASR himself would never even have thought of such things, he did not even like children particularly, but this was di's child. A part of her, and it was no more. Gone.
I don't think he didn't like kids. it was another wrong perception of his family. we saw how he was affable to the little girl in the mandir. Or in this case it was Anjali's baby! He could be the mamu. I wish if they wouldn't killed the baby.
The doctor was quite confusing, and thought I don't remember, most probably in my first watch I may have even thought both mother and child got killed. No doubt every exclamation, every dramatic note of music, every tear were to encash on this horrendous murder. Apparently this is what brings more viewership.
TRP aunties got so happy actually. they love killing, plotting, murdering, dying, sheming in the dramas.
ASR was abrasive and impatient with the doctor. He was angry and shattered. Defeated and Helpless. Flitting through emotions, holding on to sanity. There was such a sense of gravity in how Barun portrayed ASR tonight. He made this whole dreadful situation genuine and veritable.
A brother had just failed his di. I could believe his anguish.
