I think lallu was brilliant in the first part, all the emotions a father goes through, the right amount of calm , the checking up on his whereabouts, getting the two younger ones involved, he knows what would happen if anyone else even had the slightest hint, chaos in a shaadi ka ghar, couldnt risk that, so glad that KJ was not eavesdropiing anywhere
- how he pulls the boys out of their dance, the irritation on preet, the acceptance on harman.
- how he tells preet to stop getting hysterical.
- how he keeps talking to harman 'cause of course, he trusts harman more.
that was very apparent but preet was also the one taking charge, he immediately took out his phone to call
- how preet becomes the kid that he is, lost and scared. how harman is not as big as he thinks he is for he also looks lost and scared. and yet, preet takes on the responsibility of teasing heer even through his own fear.
preet did look like a kid.... and he was so great at covering up that panic for the sake of others specially heer
- how heer blushes 😊
after the tightness and near-perfection of the 6th episode, the 7th was ... different. 'cause 7th had .. prem things. and yet, they were not enough... oh, he's got to come back. 'cause.... well, just 'cause!!
but even his slightest presence, he didnt touch anyone, seemed a little lost, hair was messed up, but the moment i found out we would see prem, the episode became special for me :) couldnt stop grinning, yeah so they r showing his dead body but we still get prem and gaya3 together as well prem and heer 😃
big thing: the relief with which preet and harman hear the doctor say that prem juneja is fine. the real happiness with which preet-harman call laluchacha. the relief with which he takes the call -- after the terrified pause before he does. how much we all suffer in little-little ways, just because we love someone... just as how much happiness and joy we all feel for the same reason. watching this part, the thought struck me - out of the blue - would we all not just be better off if we didn't love anyone? if the human race hadn't come up with the feeling, this emotion called love? would we not all just be happier without loving this show badly enough that we have to see it every evening before dinner...? *sigh* i guess that is really the million dollar question -- 'cause we are all in it just now, sunk too deep to answer this... *sigh!*
U R NOT A CYNIC, u try to be but there is way too much love there... dont even pretend to, we are cursed bcos f r loves, love for r parents, siblings, children... it s always double edged, if we didnt love how could we enjoy the intensity of love that we saw from the very beginning in prem when he saw heers eyes, heers acceptance of anything prem needed, her ring, her hand, her forgiveness (for preet), her freedom, her close proximity even after she belonged to someone else, and finally her love..... why did she instictively trust prem not to hurt her in any way.... there can be no life without love, we wouldnt feel anything if we didnt love
prem thing: the look of love on his face as he comes to gayatri-mom.
(hc - you are a devil - how do you do these things so blooomin' perfectly unless you are the devil!?)
and the perfection with which gayatri-mom chatters away to her son. the only thing that i found incorguous - but understandable - is how she didn't touch him. it was like there was a forcefield around him that she was unconsciously obeying the rules about. 'cause usually, she always touches him when he comes to her...
that made it so final, his also not reaching out to touch his mom, whom he always hugged or patted on the head, loved seeing the two of them together, there were some really nice moments between mother and son, will miss those
the swings that they had gone through:
terror when they are told pb's in the morgue to...
mindblowing relief on hearing that prem juneja's fine to...
terror again when they are told the wallet was really picked up from an "unidentified body in room 12"
yes the relief from the first part turns to panic and anger, when preet grabs the man to ask him about his brother
big thing: preet-harman's love for their pb. i know that this forum is less accepting of harman ('kay, 'kay! hate harman!) but the next segment made one thing very clear - harman is the guy who gets dumped with the responsibility of being a grown-up after his pb. he doesn't have the luxury of saying to preet "no! you go look and see if it's pb! i can't bear the tension!" preet tells him to look and he doesn't shirk from that duty. and because he has to be "big brother" to preet, he can't even speak, or cry when preet's desparate question comes at him: "harman bhai, it's not pb, is it? bhai, tell me - it isn't, is it?" it's only when preet collapses next to him, and all of his childhood roars out of him in grief, that harman's sorrow is unlocked as well. it is only then that he holds his little brother close and cries for his own loss.
that probably makes sense but i was in no mood to be generous towards harman, preet was a baby, first telling harman this wont be prem either becuase of all the confusion at the hospital then declaring that he couldnt look, but harman didnt have any emotions... i guess more than the character it is the actor that irritates me
maybe melissa had a point: harman has always had to look for cues from either pb or preet to act. 'cause he has been handed too much responsibility on his plate all the time, for his own independent thinking.
little thing: the contrast between the heart-wrenching grief from his brothers acknowledging his death to the cold intonation of the "system" marking his death. "prem juneja, found in karol bagh, outside a sari shop, 90% burnt (?!!) just a short 8 minutes ago." that was heart-breaking and nicely done.
big thing: the realisation dawning on gayatri-mom's face, when she finds that the prem she was so happily chatting to was never really there. that something is not right. that the son she thought was there, is not. something is wrong. why do i get the feeling that gayatri-mom's going to suffer real damage when she hears the news? first i thought that it would be laluchacha who would go prostrate with grief - have a stroke, be immobilised. after all, he has a heart problem. but gayatri-mom's the one who is most linked with prem -- she will not be able to come out of the shock of "losing prem".
yes but wasnt prem heart breaking before that, to see his mother one last time, mom you dont have a say in what goes on now, this time i have to go.... wonderfully written and ofcourse brilliantly done,
prem thing: hc's really the devil! he has one look of regretful love for gayatri-mom. he has another look of the most tender love for heer! wtf! (and i don't mean "weekend thoughts feature" this time, damnit! 😡) i seriously think that hc's the devil. i hate hc. truly. seriously. and just 'cause i do, i am not gonna put up those pictures from khushi's stash!
glad we have those pics from khushix.... dont know how long we ll have those to treasure, sure noone wants to see people crying in great detail and repeatedly
big thing: heer looks the most beautiful bride on the day prem comes to say bye to her. no way heer's going to let him go, damnit! she looks soooo happy to be with him for all eternity. he can't leave! and we're just gonna have to wait and watch that that is going to happen. damnit, damnit, damnit!
yeah i thought she was looking really pretty as well, and worried when he leaves similar to gaya3 expressions, knowing something is not right
big thing: after he comes back, the one thing that prem is never going to do again is say "alvida". i hate it. and i hate him saying it. i hate him. i hate prem.
what exactly does that mean??? i just assumed it was another word for goodbye never looked if the exact meaning was that it is the last goodbye, have to find its exact meaning, maybe there ll be a month long clause, ie it is goodbye for a month and then i ll come back,
and in the honour of my reinstating my hate for prem, i'm starting a waiting-for-prem (wfp) count: from tomorrow, every bt,lt is going to have a count of the number of days that we have passed till prem comes back. i mean, comes back properly. to properly look into heer's eyes. to help his mother to come out of the zombie state she is probably going to go into. to properly hold heer's hand again! (i think this is all just an evil ploy by hc to cheat getting competition from prem-heer-hand-chemistry in the "best jodi" award category. hmph! jealous guy...)
i m also thinking that gaya3 will be the one who goes quite, cant be heer because she needs to get things done, so if it is heer it will be for a very short while, maybe gaya3 will be the one to stay like that
highlight of this episode: making me start the clock. from the next edition, it's gonna be "big things, little things, wfp count" huh. hc's gonna be back. and i get more and more convinced that in a story that had been, has been and will be about prem-heer, prem's gonna be back. hmph!
here's me saying "alvida". and 'cause i'm not a cheater like prem - i'll be back! ('kay, it's also 'cause i'm kinda addicted to this forum... 😊)
