Anvay-DV business today, for the most part...Great list for an episode filled with a lot of things to take in! And a big, big hooray for story movement!!! 👍🏼
- First of all, since I forgot to mention this in my posts about the previous episodes - the Recap Lady is FINALLY saying "Saachi" 👏 LOL! It's about time, over 4 months since the show started. This is the sixth Recap, I think, where she's pronounced it correctly, so I think the correct pronunciation is here to stay. Yes, this makes me happy enough to dedicate a bullet point to it!
- Saachi is so excited about this party, decorating the place while wearing a dupatta made of tinsel, haha! "Naani, theek lag raha hai yeh sab?" And she shakes the tinsel excitedly, too 😆 Awww! That childlike happiness and enthusiasm always makes me happy. And then as soon as Naani starts talking about how Saachi should dress up a bit more from now on, Saachi automatically shrugs the comment off, as usual, her responsible mode still in full gear.
- The interwoven scenes of DV-Anvay and Saachi-Naani...Nice, very nice! They're happening simultaneously, with two different scenarios of family advice being given about relationships...And DV is caught in the middle, off-guard and confused...All I'm thinking is, "Oh nooo!"
- LOL at the way Pradeep tries to resort to flattery in front of "DV Sir" and fails. Love how DV looks so disgusted by Pradeep...The mention of the "big family" connections genuinely puts DV off, and he makes this fabulous expression that clearly says, "Pradeep is such a waste of time..." Oho, so the land is for a hospital? I thought they were planning on building a shopping center or a mall there...Or maybe I'm getting mixed up now, since this case has been largely on the periphery for quite a while. Anyway, no matter. This is still problematic.
- Naani! Some very lovely lines about "samajh ki dori", maintaining an "atoot rishta", that "shabdon ka pul" made up of "umeed, vishwaas, bharosa, tyaag..." 👏 👏 👏 Absolutely love the way this conversation between Saachi and Naani starts out with Saachi trying to rush off to quickly get ready, as always, and then transforms into a more calm, prolonged moment between the two women as Naani advises Saachi to slow down, open up, and communicate more. "Chuppi ko tod..." Important advice...Wisdom, JLZ-style! Also...love the music in this scene!
- "Lekin usse WOH family TERI family nahi ban jaati, na?" And Pradeep brings this up again later, too. Hmmm. Which way is this going to go? If the lines are drawn between "us and them", with "us" being the Goels and "them" being the Prabhus...if forced to make a choice, what will DV do? The Goels' "family first" principle is coming to mind again now...DV is standing strong so far...Countering Anvay's "sab kuch bikta hai" mentality with firmness and an innocently hopeful conviction that "Dad samajh jaayenge..." It's dreams versus ego now...More like love versus ego, I think...Saachi's father's dream is one that Saachi is carrying forward out of love and genuine regard for the other families, besides her own, who are associated with Farm Best; DV's father's dream is probably one pet project out of many, and it seems more like a stubborn, "I always have things my way" sort of project at this point. If they really are planning to build a hospital, fine, but what about those workers who live off the work that the strawberry farm gives them?
- "Agar yeh zameen bikau hoti...toh baat yahaan tak nahi pahunchti. Trust me, I know this case. Saachi Prabhu apne iss sapnon ke tukde ko nahi bechenge." It's definitely another case of pyaar versus zidd now...DV's pyaar is strongly tied to Saachi and her dreams...Anvay's zidd is strongly tied to business, ego, and family reputation.
- On one end, if DV is storming away from his precarious situation, only to find himself heading towards another precipice, on the other end, Saachi is happily trying to begin the "chuppi tod" resolution. This episode really presented the contrasts well, I must say. Seeing Saachi like this is making me dread the upcoming week when the bad news will hit...😒 But I'm going to take this moment to smile while it lasts - Saachi and her outfit dilemma, LOL! That pink one with the net sleeves...I wouldn't have thought such a suit would make it to her wardrobe, but then again, she has quite a variety of suits and saris! The white one has those colorful, bright dangling thingies on the strings...It does look lovely on her! "Matching, contrast, matching, con..." She's sooo happy, awww! There are so many little moments, like this one, that make me think, "She is so adorable! Like a child, but very much a woman!" There's a bit of that in all of us, I hope...The ability to look at things with wonder and enthusiasm, the ability to cherish the small moments that make life worth living, while also going through daily responsibilities with maturity and understanding...
- LOLLL at the "Yehi matter hai. Aur iss matter mein agar tu apna GRAY matter use karega, na, toh hum sab ke liye bahut achcha hoga!" 😆 Backtracking a bit...DV's face when Anvay refers to Saachi as DV's girlfriend...Ohh man...And then Anvay proceeding to point out how Saachi is 7 (8 now, but Anvay doesn't need to know that) years older than DV, she has no social standing - this social standing thing is already making me cringe. What's the rest of the Goel family and friend circle like? Do I want to know? 🤔 I guess I have no choice. Ugh, and more cheapening of DV-Saachi's relationship by Anvay, who is practically a stranger..."Have fun and forget about it." He doesn't know Saachi, he doesn't know the DV that Saachi knows...Shauk, mazaak - maybe that's how pre-Panchgani Dhruv Kumar Goel would have termed such a relationship at the surface level, IF he was really as shallow and dil phenk as his family/friends seem to think he is...From what we've seen of DV, though, of Saachi's DV, I wonder just how well his family knows him. His mother connects with him, but now she's got her own surprise for her laadla beta who is living the poor man's life in Panchgani, thanks to the blabbermouth airhead. *weary sigh*
- Okay, so Anvay spews more than a bit of ignorant, prejudiced bakwaas. Love DV's reaction to all this! He's so unhappy about the direction in which this dispute is going, he's so upset about how his relationship with Saachi is getting tangled up in this, but he stops himself from doing anything rash; he's still hopeful that they can sort this out...Reminds me of that first time when Saachi got mad at DV for not letting her sort out the property matters with Pradeep. I don't know if the Goels are going to be receptive to negotiation talks..."Kaisa lawyer hai, yaar, tu?" *facepalm* We've all been asking this, and I remember Ruslaan saying during the early promotions that DV has no lawyer-like qualities...Haha, DV obviously has a way with words...But him turning out to be the owner of the mysterious Prithvi Enterprises because he signed a few papers without a thought...What a surprise. And what irony. Ouch! Anvay makes a link between being emotional and being careless/immature, and after that prophetic warning about DV being all alone, with no support, now I'm even more curious to see how DV deals with all this and how long it will take for Saachi to come around.
- "Woh zameen nahi hai, DV...Mera pura bachpan hai woh!" "Mere paas kuch nahi rukta! Pehle Aai, Baba...Ab yeh farm! Sab chala gaya...Sab chale jaayenge! Kuch nahi tikta mere paas, sab chala jaata hai!" 💔 💔 💔 So, so glad they put these memories in this scene! Just hearing the brokenness of Saachi's voice is more than enough to make me feel even more sad and worried about the way this problem is going to play out and change things...As DV said, I hope only the year changes...not the world around us...But there will be changes, that's for sure. They have to overcome new hurdles this year...(Damn it, Prachi! ☢️)
- Precap: Saachi expressing her desires and dreams to DV is so sweet! It reminds me a little bit of DV's acceptance of love monologue. And Saachi's little monologue couldn't have come at a worse time for DV, ironically. That would have been a lovely way to start off the new year if the land issue hadn't created a massive chasm, with DV-Saachi's relationship on the edge of a precipice..."Iss saal main apni chuppi todna chahti hoon" ❤️ 💔
