(part 2 of the bt,lt)
* big thing: lakshman preet. *the brats have been summoned to dinner and i have the quiet to do this* i have a confession to make - after all the turmoil and stress and sweetness of that prem-heer confrontation, the show returned with kooky maggot acting her vermin self, my heartrate went up again. this time in disgusted rage! 😡 and just when i was about to boil over, preet's "ek second" made me stop. and when he turned with his "i-know-something-you-don't" look, and smiled his little preet smile, and started beating the drum and walking towards the door, i knew that everything was going to be okay. that - in this show - good does get to win, and evil ultimately gets egg all over it's face. and tears came to my eyes. *shamefaced look. have i mentioned i hate this show for getting to me?*
so even though they kept showing maggot ratpal's face (not his mother's, thank goodness!) or laluchacha's weird expressions, preet's triumphant playing of the drum for his pb's arrival, and the smile that lights up his face as he looks at them lifted my spirits out of the blue funk it was in, right up into bright sunshine. and the cherry on top of that seriously gorgeous sweetie was his retort to kooky maggot: "what was happening? romance, dance, music -- you want more details?" 🤣 preet's acting here was brilliant
seriously. someone - start a preet appreciation thread! he deserved one a loooong time ago! first let us wait and see what role he will play - not crazy abt any romantic angles between him and heer 🥱
* little thing: wasn't this the same background music that was playing when prem shouted at the world that "prem-heer are one"? boy, did it work today... they won against dj chachi on that day - will they this time 😕
* prem-heer-hand thing: maybe it was 'cause it happened at the end of this triumphant-smiling-preet moment, but i have never smiled so goopily as when prem reached down and took her hand before walking into the hall. and the way that heer looked up at prem, loving him in front of everyone to see...
*sigh. doesn't it sound like i was just a lot of goop during this part of the show? sigh. i hate prem-heer.*what can i say - these two are just magic - they are in sync with each other - wonder how many times they do these takes for this to happen and how much do they discuss each tiny detail in the scene before the takes. it seems so effortless and natural. i want to know 😛
* little thing: oooh..er.. meher's got feelings for "harman-ji"?? (the juneja rat-brother who first happily danced with meher, and then unceremoniously dropped her for maya! 😡) or was it just that she really likes dancing and felt sad that she had to stop?? somehow, i think it was the latter! don't you? 😆 i am sure even the creatives do not know - they had to rush the harman story so fast as the actor was missing in action for so long.
but it made a nice - no terrific! preet moment. i loved that keen look on his face -- wonder what he's planning to do?? love preet. and btw? preet-meher look good together. always have. *firmly* as much as i do not like ash - i prefer him with her - meher is too serious for him
* prem thing: what to say 'bout prem's recital of his vow of everlasting love for heer? i loved the start of "today, i, prem juneja" but more i loved that the first thing that he took permission from to take heer as his wife was ... "these winds"! after all, these are the winds that have always danced around his head, puffing up his hair, acting as a signal that "his" heer was in front of him. and in the end, "mein prem juneja, aaj, apney naam kay saath, apnay astitva, apnay shareer, aur apnay atma kay saath, heer maan ko apnay dharam say, karam say, dil say, aur apnay har jasbaath say, apni patni maanta hoon." this was touching but to ahve the winds as witness - wait - i forget - the environment mania - is the in thing. nevertheless it was touching - the way it was said 😳
it was firm, it was bold, it was all male, it was ... prem claiming ownership of heer, in front of all the world to see? no, for me, it was more like showing her, in front of everyone, that he s going to match her gift of love with his gift of .. himself and all that he stood for. nobody can guess what these two say with their eyes. we were lucky enough to be prviy to their conversation this time 😆
*thu... (oh wait a bit, though. can a pool of goop go *thud*?? hmmmm... 🤣)
and the best thing of all? this was a .... prem-heer eye conversation! only this time, we get to hear what those eyes are saying! unlike all the other times, where prem and heer can understand it 'cause ... well, they are one. but we always had to guess. and see?! what pretty-pretty conversations those eyes make?? 😆 exactly!!!
* last but not least thing: y'know? everytime - and i mean this literally! - every single time that prem's hand has reached down to take heer's hand, prem's eyes drop to look at her hand. and it used to make for a brilliant prem-expression because his head didn't move -- it was only those pretty eyelashes draping over his eyes before her hand is captured in his. remember the pic that you once posted 😛
today, though... today! prem's eyes never leave heer's eyes! it's like his eyes are looking through to her soul, and her soul is looking right back. in fact, today, it is heer who is startled into looking down -- it's like this is the first time that she hasn't had an early warning of the capture that is going to happen. and for me - an admirer of that wonderful alchemy in prem-heer's-hand chemistry - the sight of both her hands being held between them by both his hands was one of the prettiest sights of this episode. *deeeep sigh!*
said this before, saying it again: how are they going to top this? as long as these two are in a scene - they themselves create the atmosphere, the scene, the action to surpass what they have done before. BUT you need BOTH of them....
highlight of the episode: preet. hands down. preet, preet, preet! 'cause preet is the sunshine, preet makes me smile through anything, preet remains pure as lakshman, brother of his pb's ram.
'cause no matter how beautiful his public staking of heer as his, or his declaration that he is all hers, it took the magnificent act of heer's love of sharing all his burdens, his responsibilities, future, present and past! to wipe out the fact that prem hit heer today. he did. he did. and i hate prem for thinking that i could actually forgive him for it. he is forgiven only because of heer - because of her actions - how she handled him - such strength - such dignity - additi is perfect in this role - she made the slap look like nothing -
