A masterstroke indeed!😃
I didn't expect this. Instead of the usual Jashan, dance, Maulvis and Sherbet - we got a completely different visual treat in a small game between childhood friends - that would also play an important role in track progression!By track progression I meanIncreasing insecurities of RuqaiyyaandIncreasing nazdeekiyan of Jalal-Jodha!Such is always the play of fate - try as you may - you can't change it!😊Besides, nothing in this twist was deliberate - none can be blamed!Neither Rahim for misleading himNor Jalal for being misledNeither Ruqaiyya for becoming disappointedNor Jodha for innocently going along with the flowAfter all, isn't this what life is about - we're all puppets in the hand of fate - victims of circumstances.Only, we all react differently to different incidents! My guess is that Ruqaiyya is not going to take her failed gesture lightly while had it been Jodha, she would have just smiled it all off!Anyway, my 'likes' are actually for the effortless flow of the scenes and the novel birthday game that ended up changing the course of an important day for the person whom it was intended for! (If we're to go by Jalal's self-talk!)
