superb post , Mansi. Exactly my thoughts..
our leads rocked yest. ok to start with the famous boat-ride and Jallu getting close to His Ben Darling, or vice versa (coz some may say , that she was getting close to him, he wasn't.) not that I found him stopping her , nor i found him shocked or surprised as to why she stopped so suddenly in btw and why she stood up? I m surprised , how he wasn't asking her why the need to go close to him when their main work should be visit to dargah. Instead , I found , he was a bit relaxed, and rather expecting Ben's move. So does that mean , he knows Ben's truth?
another thing came to my mind, was he expecting Jo to stop this ride , coz when he saw the arrows , i didn't find him much shocked. so may be he knew Jo will stop him , just didn't know the way she will take... but when he saw the arrows coming over their heads , he takes the clue that Jo has done her job and that to with a gr8 mastery. But yes, to say he was not exactly comfortable with Ben getting close, so again I suspect, does he knows Ben's truth and so he himself was ready to kill Ben if Jo couldn't have reached in time?
or is it that this time saleema is playing mediater btw our leads and so after HB and Saleema convo, saleema has visited Jallu and spoken their suspscions and once again convinced Jalal that Jo can never lie and never hurt him. and so has Saleema made Jalal think abt Jo's accusations of Ben may not be false and so Jalal did further investigation. I just thought this as a possibility , coz yest I felt Jalal was watching every move of Ben very carefully, like he was prepared to take the final action if necessary.
rest , Mansi u have written so beautifully... just the same words in my mind abt the scenes... so i m not getting into that...
But yes, their DEK scene wa rather ... Rajat always speaks volums through his eyes, and I m happy now Pari too is getting mastery over it. DEK , just two of them was superb scene... he simply knows everything, and she knows abt it and both knows that they understand eachother without a single word spoken abt it, and still they crave for something more and unknown to them or something that unspoken btw them they fear to accept..
