Hello Friends,
Synopsis: I am out of words....For the first two parts I was thankful it was a 45 mins show...I was craving for more...After the first 20 minutes I was out of words...and still I am....I dont want to reach any conclusions...I dont want to say things that I regret later (What Arjun has been doing right now)...I love KMH and I want to give it another chance for redemption....When you get it right..."I'm sorry" is redemption! and I will wait for the moment when they do get it right! (Anjana I loved this dialogue)
The Confession...The Pal:
Touched those chords of My heart that very few pieces of Fiction do! The creatives got it just perfect this time....From the moment Arjun entered the elevator...(which I did not expect at all)....to that beautiful moment where Arjun and Arohi's love was at its beautiful best...complete and perfect! The creatives played it so well that I have no words to express my gratitude for giving us a viewing experience that I will cherish forever!
I always wanted Arohi's confession to come up as a great sequence and I think it could not have been better than this! The camera, the direction, the dialogues, the act was all *perfect*!
Starting at the elevator....She says it all slowly, clearing all the problems that we had with her character...as if slowly untying the knots that had been there...finally releasing a smooth soft thread! She could not believe he could hate her cuz his eyes contradicted (and yes they did!), her insecurities when he stopped looking at her, her thought process of what went wrong that brought about this big a change in him, and her inability to cross the big wall that Arjun erected right between them....
Her slight smile when she holds his wrist and he does not pull it away...giving her the strength to move on! Taking a step further, she continues with her thoughts that he might have changed...maybe there was no love at all....but than her realization that he was not at fault! Here she opens the biggest knot by forgiving him for his mean acts without his apology...(What I had so desperately wanted)...and than finally telling him what she wants to tell him...she says it loud for both of them to hear...she has been saying this to herself all the way to office...but here she says it yet again..."asal main aap mujh se nafrat nahin karte"...
I held on to myself so tight when she took the course of clearing the misunderstanding...I was dreading she would say 'agar aap ka koi gunehgar hai to woh hai DK Punj' but she did not say that! she blamed it on the "Haalaath" which was such an intelligent dialogue!
I would not take away the credit from Arjun here...If you look at it once again you can understand his
expressions quite well...his initial "not-interested" look changes to "intrigue" and yet again to "trauma" as she gives him the reality bites....and than he goes through some thought (which ofcourse comes out in the later reels)...but that is "anger" and this was expected! Arohi says what he had expected her to say...she gives him his Maa's perspective...which he will never believe in...For Arjun this was the final Blow! Where his doubts have been answered....Arohi is a Mohra of his Mom to make him believe she was not at fault! Once again the fault is not Arohi's or Arjun's .... It is of the "situation"...it is of their "perspectives"...where Arohi has a clear heart...Arjun has all sorts of doubts and misunderstandings...and Arohi by saying it all does open his eyes...."Thanks tum ne mery ankhain khol din".... he had to do something drastic here! and he does in the final parts of the show!
The old Arjun would have never taken her hands in front of everybody else! Once again I felt something was wrong...but the creatives had the strings and they manipulated our thoughts with finesse!
Moment of the Day: Nothing could have been more beautiful than how Arohi confessed her love for Arjun...It had it all....Her Love, Respect, Haq, Care, Belief in him! The scene was aesthitcally shot! (How much I wished Arjun to wear something better...but I guess somethings never change)... Arohi said the most beautiful dialogues written by the creatives of KMH....Try to notice Arjun's slight unease (for the first time) when Arohi says "main aapse kehna chhaty hoon"....This gives me that hope that he did not expect this to happen! this was not part of the plan he had made! and as she speaks, he keeps getting those quizzical looks...as if trying to reason why is she saying this and why is she sounding so true! his expressions are something to look out for in that sequence...
Dialogue of the Day: "main aap se itna pyar karty hoon ke main nai is se pehle kabhi aisa feel nahin kia...main aap sai itna pyaar kerty hoon kai agar is dunia main mujhe koi dard de sakta hai to woh aap hain...main aap sai itna pyaar kerty hoon ke mere man main kabhi na hi koi aur aaya na hi aaye ga...main aap se itna pyaar karty hoon ke agar mere man sai aap ka aks nikal dain to kuchnahin bachta...main aap se itna pyaar karty hoon ke main nahin jaanty kai main is kai illawa kuch aur feel kar bhi sakty hoon ya nahin...ke main kia karoon gy agar aap mere pass na hoon"....I cried and at that point in time I did not even know what had to follow! It was the extent of her love, the depth of her feelings...her conviction that brought those tears in my eyes....Kritika will always be respected by me for showing this on screen! It was a woman's love and was captured in its most beautiful way....Arjun is yet to realize the significance and the beauty of a woman's love in his life...he just caught a glimpse....but i pity him he was deaf and blind at that time! This scene will always go down as the best scene of KMH...I have no doubts on that! In my 10-12 years of soap experience i have very rarely seen something of this caliber!
Post Confession...Still Contemplating!
There are a million ways of humiliating a person..."I have found my soulmate"....ermmm....for me does not work! I still maintain keep it between Arjun and Arohi and it would work! Is his excuse of not accepting her love so lame that he has to use a 3rd wheel to reject her? His rejection was in itself a blow Arohi would not have been able to take...and in my opinion a bigger blow...considering the situation they were in at that point in time...He had taken her to the verge of it..."There is no one in my life.....BUT I still hate you...cuz I dont think you don't deserve my love!" would have gone better with me than what he said....maybe I am wrong....but that is how I percieve Humiliation!
The Rejection:
Arjun's opinion is not something outrageous! Arohi said the right things...she did not get one word wrong today...but the only thing she did wrong was to go and say it all! If he had admitted to what she had said I would have that pinching feeling in my heart forever as to why did he believe in her? His trust was shattered...and how can you believe the person who shattered it! "Tum ne aaj mujhe itna dukh dia hai jitna aj tak kissi nai nahin dia" is what he said when he first found out about the Badi Maa MU...how could he just believe in a person who had given him the biggest blow in his life? His rejection was believable and to some extent expected!
The Method:
He did the ugliest thing a man could do to a women! a girl is at the height of vulnerability when she confesses her love....He took her to that height...He kept Mum...listened to her all the way through...Did he want to listen to it OR was he just pushing her to that height? This is debatable...they did not give us any indication on this! I would like to believe the former but what they showed, looked as if he was following the later! What is your opinion? His slight look at her as she leaves the room in the end made my wish stronger that he wanted to listen to it....more than making the master plan of pushing her to limits....Anyways...the method was ugly...humiliating and very very unreasonable...Can Arohi forgive his act? In fiction yes she may and she will have to....In reality? well again it is debatable...She clearly loves him and she told that in the most beautiful way? Is this repairable! he killed her self esteem, he humiliated her beliefs, he shattered her dreams, he disrupted her confidence! Is this repairable? I am unable to provide an answer to this....But than maybe that is where we find an answer to "KITANI Mohabbat hai"
The Act: The creatives have the strings!
Today I can clearly understand how a strong role can make a character believable and and an actor the scope to showcase his/her talent! Uptil now it was always about Arjun and Karan....As Anjana says, he was the Actor and Arohi the Reactor! Today when Arohi became the Actor and it clearly showed the calibre of acting Kritika can project, given some good writing by the creatives! The creatives will be the sole reason for the loss of KMH..if it does happen....Since this time they have all the elements simply going their way! Kritika deserves a standing ovation for her portrayal of a girl who is not only in love but knows how to respect it!
Arjun was just awesome! I realized it once I saw the video again...The first two parts I kept thinking Kritika looked natural whereas Karan was stiff...with the whole perspective in mind as I saw it again I can understand why he acted like that....He deserves full marks for his act in the first two parts!
On the other hand, where Arjun starts blurting out soul mate, engagement, marriage et al., it just took away Arjun's charisma...Karan could not do justice to it at all! Knowing the kind of actor he is...it was a humiliation of his talent by the creatives to give him dialogues which made less sense....watch him in the precap...he excels yet again...cuz in that scene it is once again Arjun vs Arohi...their complications, their emotions and nothing else!
Your comments!

P.S: It was one of the most difficult writeups for me...As I started I had nothing to write today...I felt as if I have lost the art of writing...I sat looking at the blank notepad for a while and than tried yet once again...i am sure I have not been able to justify what I wanted to say but I guess the episode just left me in a state where I wanted to do everything but write about it.....Its gloomy and I want to spend a quite evening trying to work on my code and make out something from it!
The Adda was as usual quite a lot of fun on the weekend! I am updating quite late but it took some time...I watched the 45 min show...went through my "nothin-to-write" state of mind....and finally did the writeup...have not logged into the forums yet...But now have enough courage to log in and read through how are you guys dealing with the first 45 min show of KMH!
I am really sorry for the late input but I guess you will understand😊
