JNDSD~ My take~ Thursday 30.3.17~ Only the stubborn ones survive!
They say stick at it! True in most cases.The ones obdurate in their dreams and aspirations and the will to live! are the ones who make it in the rat race of survival. Yes Atharv makes it. Defies death. Suman was obstinate for thirty years to stamp out both Sujata and Atharv .But she realizes that her obstinacy professed evil and Atharv's stubbornness is a way of life that proclaims that virtue has to stay in the world despite onslaughts of evil! Sujata is the forceful hand of justice..
It's like high drama unfolds before the wide eyed Madhav. Parental guidance seems to be docked as both his parents and his wider family are present to protect him against any harm coming his way. wow!! before his very eyes.. the absent-minded grouch! heaves and hauls himself up with the help of a stumped branch ..all the way up from the watery grave he was sent too, by the wicked witch! Madhav's super hero stands up on the crag for the whole world to see.. a smile curls up the little boy's face..wicked! Didn't know kadhoos had it in him! well Atharv certainly makes a statement even the waters have vomited him out! Super strength given to him from the heavens tell him.. your time is not up yet son!
His foes tremble at this smirk of destiny.. even in a daze he walks past all and stands before the one he loves, always loved.. Vividha! All stand dumb founded at the statement Atharv gives. Does this mean his lost memory of four years returns? Suman's sees her hard work going down the drain. Not so soon, she's still alive! She picks up the metal bar aims at the back of Atharv's head! always attacked him behind ..target to be killed! One shot! From the goddess Durga turned wild at her child being attacked! and Suman falls dead.. into the watery grave she proposed for Atharv. .. a few bubbles out of lake and silent awe for justice on the faces for Sujata! only shattered by Ravish's cry mother!! Madhav blinks his big bold eyes.. he needn't fear badi maa anymore..she is gone forever! never to return.
Home again and in bed..Atharv for once is attended by a real doctor who gives an expected diagnosis of him being overdosed on drugs.. antidote given with prognosis soon he will be fine. No one has much to say about it especially Guddi. She will keep a low profile from now on. End of her act? as her boss is dead! Atharv turns to her one eyebrow raised, Guddi tells him what he wants to know.. she's in the guest room!
It's like picking up a reaction after our long years. With her back to the door Vividha sits in disbelief on the bed. She waits as she looks down at her sketches by his hand.. her heart knows he will come and so he does, right away he knows her and she too understands he is back to how she knew him. With such ease he speaks to her, funny how she could always sense his approaching her. For four long years he managed by a sense, blindly only but heard it.. a name ,faint face that captured the beats of his heart. But the beats made no sense.. he refers to seeing a figure in the snows and Vividha responds in completing his dream..yes it was Kashmir!! Atharv excitedly spills out that moment in his past based upon what Guddi told him..its like he wants Vividha to confirm some facts and complete the puzzle for him. By jove! Vividha does and tells him how he stood her up! How wrong she was.. her tears are almost an apology for misunderstanding his perpetrated accident and thereafter oblivion! But it's those words she says afterwards that melt his heart.. that tried as she did ,but never could hate him.. well that's who his Vividha is for him..loyal sincere, his forever!. With tears in his eyes he tells her his story . how Suman made his destiny gave him a readymade family, Guddi as his wife, Chintu as his brother. Suddenly the penny drops with Vividha all that her beloved Atharv went through! Her back to him is about telling him her side of the story too.She will have to break it to him gently but not now.. ohhh beloved.. Vividha cannot restrain her feet from running to him.. for a reunion embrace.. but her feet slide backwards..ooh beloved now that you are well , you understand..Vividha reminds him.. it's over now his past like a bad dream
It's interesting Atharv refers to the present and their future. It's safe to begin by clarifying about what he reckons to be confirmed .. their son Madhav. Talk about the angel and he flies in right before Atharv! refers to him as father! sweet melody to Atharv's ears..three times Madhav is made to repeat his title father. To a father who cannot get enough of the word that swells his heart with pride! Atharv scoops the lad in his arms and confirms their connection. Then its Madhav who breaks Atharv the piece of news that Vividha is unable to tell her beloved. Madhav proudly discloses he is lucky enough to have two fathers!! What can Atharv say to Vividha only that she was a dream without a name. Now she appears like a want..but not without certain caution and restrain.. Vividha turns and goes gently breaks the present facts to him..everything! her marriage to Ravish ,the circumstances.. he listens, she speaks , with a plea in her voice. Tears glisten in their eyes.. the past is irreversible but still depart not from mine heart my beloved. Vividha states the obvious, today her husband Ravish needs their support! He watched his mother die before his very eyes. Atharv responds in the way Vividha expects him too.. he wants to see Ravish right away! Atharv realizes only his own brother could do what Ravish did for him.. bail him and Vividha out of a precarious situation! But then Suman was right the four are connected! Atharv ,Vividha, Ravish and Madhav! Ravish goes missing.
Can a man who defends the borders, break down and weep? How can he? One would imagine he has seen much collateral damage on both sides of the borders. But alas a soldier too despite the discipline and stiff front he puts on, has a heart that bleeds silently ,away from the madding crowd. Slumped on his back Ravish sits. He needs the time out to assess the collateral damage on both families. He needs space to grieve. One tear falls on his mothers face and another on his face, as he weeps over his family picture of his mother and him. A son who has just seen his mother die in a violent way. Yes he has lost his mother. He brings forth the other picture Vividha and Madhav .. another mother and son that Suman's son gave stability. Yes he is sad.. probably swamped with insecurity of losing them..but he cannot be so. As he is the one who stands out with selfless commitment. A strong back bone for Atharv , Vividha and Madhav ,all who are to me, incomplete without the presence of Ravish. His role is yet to gain strength when he proves that he can win the war on his home front too. By giving Atharv his mother Sujata and perhaps gaining himself a good mother too.. but for now Ravish grieves..
Fantastic performances by the three leads, Shivani, Vikram , Shashank.. and young Kabeer..the life of the episode. It was all about Vitharv , confirming hazy recollections, supporting and consoling each other ; justifying events of past four years; celebrating reunion; accepting the present as it stands and grieving losses. Now what remains is picking up the pieces..and carrying on with life. precap shows Vividha and Atharv meeting Sujata in prison. Ravish in the witness box.. what is he likely to say about Sujata murdering his mother Suman ?? hamlet53 31.3.17
