What can one say about today's episode???...Words fail me....Its one of those occasions when one realises how totally futile words can be to describe something truly great....a landmark....And its also one of those days when I can only rue over my inadequacy as a writer to express what I feel...what this episode did to me....and must have done to anyone who has watched it....
Today was all about breaking barriers...scaling new heights...Of reaching the supreme moment...This has to be the pinnacle...It cant get better than this....If it does, I am afraid, I cant dream how....It is too big a distance to leap even in my imagination....
Yes, today was the summit of the Jai-Bani love story...Its been a tremendous journey...from being strangers, they became a couple...from being an estranged pair, they surrendered to each other physically and mentally...today, they became united in their souls...They have become bound to each other by a trust, a love and understanding which supercedes every other emotion, every other event in their life...
It was Bani who took the first steps towards bridging the gulf between them...On the threshold of death, she chose her love for Jai over the past...Her need to be with him over his guilt...In that supreme moment of confession, she showed how deeply bound she was to this one man....How she could forsake all other ties, past and present to be united with him...if not in life, then in death...Since then, much water has flowed under the bridge...The starkness of the present has often tended to overshadow her deepest emotions...Yet that one moment had highlighted like never before the truth of her life...
Today it was Jai's turn to display the same capacity to love...to trust and to cherish in moments when his faith was being tested to the core...The choice fell before him today, whether to choose other ties, other claims on his emotions, or to stand by his feelings for the woman who has taken over his life....His decision was unequivocal....His love prevailed above all...He's shown that whatever the circumstances, he cannot...he will not doubt Bani...He Won't give up on her....Life may bring about their separation...The physical distance would not matter...Because their inner beings have already united...
The J-B relationship may go through many other turns in future...Their may be misunderstandings, confusion and lows...But the essence will remain what came across today...Nothing can tarnish this...take this away....Its the ultimate high-point of thier love...
But its not just Jai and Bani who reached a milestone today...Its also the people who have created them and brought them to life...the entire KS team....Prachi....and most importantly Ram...
The KS creatives never cease to amaze me...They resort to the conventional in every way....except for one..the J-B relationship...And this is what has made this serial such a classic and so eminently watcheable...All the kudos to them for not only taking this love story to a different plane altogether, but simply for conceptualising such a brilliant scene...Amazing dialogues....Amazing shots!!!...Prachi was brilliant as well....her eyes reflecting every word Jai was mouthing...longing, pain and utter helplessness....Her eyes gazing at him in mute confession and understanding....
But of course ultimately it was Ram who elevated the scene to its supreme heights...made it so memorable....Its not news any more to expect a good performance from Ram...He's always been BRILLIANT...period!!!...I rarely feel like mentioning his acting, considering my Jai-jaap as a sufficient proof how well he's connecting with the audience...Even today, I cant praise him...For the simple reason that each compliment seems inadequate....almost silly....Anythign I say will be an understatement....All I can say is that till today if he made sure that Jai managed to charm me, provoke me, made me laugh and cry and generally think about him most of the day..After this episode, he's ensured that Jai is going to haunt me...The interminable walk...The naked pain in his eyes...the single tear rolling down his face...The barely audible words spoken with unimaginable intensity....The heartbreak in his voice...They are going to be hard to efface...ever!!!
KS has reached a high today...The standard it scaled today has made all our devotion and passion for it worthwhile...Because they have managed to breach even our sky-high expectations...made us truly proud of being fans of this series....Even if the future does not live upto this, it wont matter...Because we have seen the best of it all...
Thats it frm me guys....Have a graet weeknd....
lots of love
