Hi Radhika,
I didn't watch the episode until 9 and even after reading maddy's update was debating whether to watch it or not. Then my addiction overcame me and I steeled myself to watch the episode and what a surprise I was in for .It was not at all a bad episode but rather a sensational one as it was good in many ways.I ffed all the zeenat ,quasim and her poisoning as I was not interested in her front but wanted to watch jo,ja and reaction of other agra inmates so I will put my perception only on this do bear with me for a longer post as I want to put forth everything I felt.
SR:
I really liked this sr more than the first one not only because of the seeming ease between both, but it beautifully portrayed the healing of wounded souls through the warmth of love they felt for each other. The tears that glistened their face brought forth the pain and the grief they felt and made the union more of a spiritual one. The other scenes embedded into this sr brought forth the seeming contrast of dark and light that walk hand in hand in day to day life. A wife so often considers her husband as her first son and so the forehead kiss was really touching for me in a way that a mother who now finds a son in peace goes to the other.
Death of hussain
I would say this whole track belong to rajat and pari ,but for me today it was pari who outshined a bit more with her excellent expressions. B e it the seemingly happy mother who found her son asleep, the playful banter that now he has become sensible, the utter delight in just watching her sleeping son ,the moment of numb disbelief as she realizes or the deep agony as her soul has been ripped apart from her she outdid everything.
And coming to ruq what a pitiable state she has brought herself into. The moment off hasan's death hb,gb everyone rushed to console jo over their cousin as all of their natural instinct would be to comfort an ailing mother rather than a disillusioned human. If ruq had shown some grief some might have tried to console her ,but all she now to do was blame jo and not even hoshiyar today find it in to support her. This is the sorry plight of a woman who never realized what love is and i doubt if she ever will? The precap seems to confirm it ,she now wants to kill an innocent baby which has done no harm to her and here I fail to see the difference between zeenat and ruq .Both wanted the same revenge and doesn't seems to care how they achieved it.
Rise of Jallad:
And rajat was once again excellent in his portrayal .How hard it should have been for him to hold that same stance throughout the ranting. Jalal waking up from his sleep was once again pushed into facing the harsh realities of the life. His running to her and then the state of a complete numbness as he watch as a lifeless soul seeing only the agony of jo and all the strands of love that are binding him seem to loosen up and the deep buried wounded animal instinct sees its rise.The moment he knew his children are poisoned there rises the jalad an enigma to be feared.Am i correct here ? I didn't understand his stance completely .I thought it could be what is show but would love your take on this aspect of what you feel jalal is feeling at that time?
All in all it was not all a bad episode and I would recommend everyone to give it a try with minimum hopes.
