RK Mantra: Loved his walk as usual! ๐ณ And well I think I just love the spiteful, angry JW much more than the sad, sullen one so this could go on forever! ๐ณ
So yes I know people are gonna send their belans my way but I LOVED THIS JW! Bani deserved it! She pushed him over the edge and got exactly what she deserved! She wanted it too so she shouldn't really be complaining! ๐ Agreed that some of it was just too harsh (esp the dhandhewali comment) but I think it was just his rage speaking when he was attaching a price to all their moments. The extent to which Bani drove him......sad but true! Although in all those moments too the importance of her in his life was evident...esp when he talks about the C night! Ok the dhandhewali comment was way out of line and completely unnecessary but his angst in that was also evident....he was accusing her of attaching a price to memories, to basically their life together! He couldn't believe that she didn't care about the memories as much as he did (his POV purely of course)!
And then of course the scene that did it for me entirely! ๐ณ "Aaj tumhare saamne woh purana JW khada hai" how can I thank thee....let me count the ways! ๐ Well Bani irked THAT JW in him and for that I have to thank her and only her! ๐ It's the JW that we fell in love with originally! But what's better is what the "naya JW" couldn't do with all his love and concern the "purana JW" did in anger and rage! A CONFESSION my dear gals from the man himself....something long awaited but could only be possible from the OLD JW! Mou you are right it was a confession...whatever form it may be in at least it was a confession! Unfortunately it didn't strike to Bani as one....I don't really know how else the man can spell it out to her that he loves her! ๐ So in a span of a few days we saw them both confess to each other their love for the other albeit followed up by a bitter taste! Only in a Kekta show would that have been possible!
Maasi the mediator seems to be trying hard but even she couldn't help but be frustrated at Bani's ridiculous antics! ๐ But at least Bani's smart enough to tell Maasi everything....nahi toh itni mahaan jo hai woh yeh sab bhi chupa kar sab apne sar le leti! ๐ But honestly that was a bad move on the part of Maasi. Ab Bani taking the money will for one prove JW's presumptions right about her being in it for the money and two it gives Jigs and co a stronger case against Bani! Jis taraf se bhi dekho encashing this cheque is gonna lead to more tears in an already miserable Bani's life! ๐
Now why in world does the OLD JW want to party is beyond me! ๐ I mean hamare liye toh celebration ki hi baat hai ๐ณ lekin woh kya celebrate karna chahta tha? Us bechare ko bhi ghutan ho rahi thi shayad in his new role so he was celebrating homecoming...which I can relate to perfectly! On another note Pia seemed to be ready for a party....I'm not sure which one though coz I didn't know that multicoloured outfits were the rage these days! ๐ Then again being a fashion blunder myself how would i know! ๐ But I loved JW's attitude as soon as she entered....it was clear that he DID NOT want anything to do with her at that time! Par us besharam ko kaun samjhaaye! ๐ LOVED his sarcasm when he says "I know that, of course tumhari di galat nahi ho sakti"....THIS is the guy we were longing for! ๐ณ He's the old JW but back with more cheek! The old JW was vengeful but only yelled and ordered...the new version of the old JW is all of that and more! He talks more, is more cheeky and is much more outgoing! Just when you think he can't get better they make a new and improved version of him! ๐ณ A desperate father was visible in him when he took Pia to the nursery and poured his heart out! A father-to-be who is concerned for his child's welfare coz the mother-to-be is too busy saving her sister from misery! ๐ A father who knows that his child's mother is weaker than usual and under stress....someone asked if him yelling at her doesn't increase her stress to which I would say yes it does but one she brought it on herself and two it's JW we are talking about! He takes out his anger this way and we knew that from the beginning....if something happens to his loved one he's not going to take it lying down even if it is another loved one is at fault! I didn't like that he brought up all of Pia's doings but I guess in his rage he was being more focussed than usual! ๐ The target of his enrage was Pia and so he focussed on her faults. The dialogue that I absolutely despised today was however the one where he says his biggest mistake was to love Pia and marry Bani. I think if it was written out and punctuated well enough it would've meant something entirely different than hearing it in that tone of his! It made it sound like he was still in love with Pia when just mins ago he confessed his love to Bani! ๐คข Since I side with JW through thick and thin I would believe it to have been meant as an addendum i.e. my biggest mistake was to love you AND to marry Bani as in the events that occurred respectively with the 2 women in his life! ๐ But then again I'm viciously known to read too much into this stuff so I'll stop there! ๐ That look on Pia's face wasn't encouraging at all...almost seemed like she was planning that affair with him in her head! But I have faith in JW to maintain that spite and to continue to hate them all....and worst case scenario to use Pia to make Bani jealous....nothing beyond that! ๐
The Jigs/Adi/Dadi scene was passable...well comic relief but passable. The only comment I had there was Jigs ki bulb thodi zyaada hi der se jalti hai! ๐ Pehle toh itni khush hui apne shaadi ke cassette dekhte hue aur phir light jali madam ki aur pata chala ki mazaak udaaya ja raha hai! ๐ Foreshadowing Kekta? with that whole barbaadi parts? ๐
The new "purana JW" was a little hard to believe sitting in the bar and reminiscing....and flirting! ๐ But who paid attention to that when he was looking like a million bucks! ๐ณ His hesitation while answering in the affirmative to Tarun's offer was encouraging! ๐ And Tarun kab se babe magnet ban gaya? Uske ek ishaare pe ladkiyaan tapak jaati hai? ๐ JW looked very uncomfortable flirting and kudos to RK for conveying that so very well! ๐ (esp considering that in actuality he's a self-proclaimed compulsive flirt ๐) Tarun looked quite amused at JW's attempt and that in itself was amusing to watch! Completely agree Adi though....RK's English is flawless and such a pleasure to the ears! ๐ณ - "As single as I can be" Only RK is capable of switching from one expression to the other without as much as letting us blink! The brilliant actor that he is reflects in the non-existent transition time between his expression changes making it that much more pleasurable to watch! ๐ It was hard to ignore that even in THAT conversation JW had to have the upper hand! ๐ Tarun ne kuch kaha bhi toh JW had the last say in that! More proof of his dominating character? ๐ And again we witness the change in expression...LOVED IT again! ๐ And also notice RK's impeccable command over the English language....did I mention I saw this epi twice already? ๐ณ Bechari that woman walked right into the eye of the storm....pata bhi nahi chala usko ki what hit her! ๐ JW taking his entire frustration out on a random woman was odd but his words proved his love for his child. It showed where his priorities lie right now and despite his actions he cannot deny it. As aptly pointed out by our new cupid Tarun ๐ After a long while Tarun had something worthwhile to say....and only he at that point could make JW face the fact that he loves Bani and that he can't let go of her even if he tried!
I guess after having torn the epi into bits and pieces there's nothing left to say but that I thoroughly enjoyed having the old JW back (as if that wasn't obvious from the million times I've said it already! ๐). RK's acting and superb dialogue delivery were a treat to watch after all that inaction! ๐ Bani was back to her crying self....I guess as long as the old JW is back she has nothing but tears left to her credit. The rest aren't worth talking about as usual ๐ I don't know where Kekta wants to take the show next but as long as she retains the old JW I have no qualms with her! ๐
