All in all, a good and simple episode where the real heroes were the dialogues and the subtle emotions/thought-process of each character...Let's talk about some things that came into my mind or was in my head, for sometime, but never had the desire to express my thoughts earlier...
+ Re-emergence of Dev Dixit
It's great to see that we are inching closer to the Dev Dixit of the first few episodes or to be more exact, the better version of the Dev Dixit that we saw on the initial days and weeks of the show...
I always had this thought in my head that while Dev Dixit, was the one who came out victorious from the challenges that he faced in his childhood and that he was the undisputed winner in his adult and professional life...
At his core, he was still Dev... And, unlike Dev Dixit, Dev was very much like the eight-year old boy who lost his father and who needed his mother to hold his hands and guide him...
Ishwari was not only his mother, she was also the anchor on which Dev depended on and strengthened him enough to make him Dev Dixit.
So, it is safe to say that Dev was the core of the Dev Dixit and Ishwari was the anchor of Dev... And, the aura of Dev Dixit depended on the stability of Dev and hence, Ishwari's strength...
But, when Sona came into his life, things took a drastic turn... In the tussle between the two (Ishwari & Sona) to become the center of Dev's Universe... The anchor which had supported Dev crumbled and hence, it led to the destruction of Dev Dixit.
So, it is safe to say that since the beginning of the second season or even, the last few weeks before the leap started, we were watching Dev and not Dev Dixit...
Dev was, is and will always need someone else to play the role of the anchor/guide... Golu and Soha both provided a sense of purpose to Dev but he still needed Sonakshi to take up the mantle that was left for her...
And, hence, when Dev and Sona finally reunited... And, this time, Sona realised that her first and foremost priority is to be Dev's guide and Dev Dixit's partner... She became more comfortable and settled into her new role quickly...
This is where she faltered the first time around... And, yes... She does take the lead but in my opinion, she only takes charge where Dev falters/hesitant or where Dev wants her to lead him...
But, once she knows that she has provided a strong enough foundation for Dev Dixit to emerge and take control of the situation, she willingly takes the backseat and just provide emotional support and companionship and hence, play her role as the partner of Dev Dixit, rather than the guide to Dev...
This is clearly evident in this track where Sona took charge initially when she knew that Dev was struggling but now, when she knows that Dev Dixit is ready... She has pulled herself back...
So, yes... In some ways, she is playing a similar role to that of Ishwari in the first season... But, we have to realise it that she is not a replica of Ms.Ishwari Dixit but she is Mrs. Sonakshi Dixit...
And, so far... I have loved not only this new and better version of Mr. Dev Dixit, but also loving the emergence of Mrs. Sonakshi Dixit...
+ Marriage vs Live-in
I enjoyed the last conversation between Dev and Sona where they both simply discussed the advantages and disadvantages of this continuous tussle between which is more right, marriage or live-in relationships...
And, how they both reached the conclusion that in the end, it all comes down to the perception of the two individuals involved in a relationship... And, how both the relationships need both effort and time to blossom and how it could become the source of both happiness and strength in someone's lives...
But, today, I would like to also throw light on the scene in the Bose house... I loved the way how the creatives tried to make the viewers realise that this never-ending argument is not because of the ideological differences between the two generations, but the ideological differences between the two individuals...
After seeing today's episode, it is safe to say that Asha, despite a progressive, open-minded woman believes in the sanctity and the institution of marriage... And, hence, as she came to know that they she might have only completed six pheras instead of seven, she panicked...
On the other hand, Dida, despite being her elder, was the one who calmed Asha reminding her rituals or customs doesn't matter, but what matters is the love or the trust, someone has in their relationship and their companion...
So, in short, I absolutely loved how the makers have presented and tackled this track and the message that they have tried to convey to the viewers...
I am just happy, that even, in its last stretch, this show is still tackling and dealing with such tracks in a mature and relatable manner... So, kudos to them...
+ Other Highlights from the Episode
1. Dev taking charge of the conversation with Ishwari and how he didn't allow her to escape with her fears... I loved how he took a stand for his sister (cum daughter) by comparing the love and the respect that Lakshya has for Nikki to his love or respect for Sonakshi or how his father loved or respected Ishwari as his partner...
2. I am also love the fact that how Sona and especially, Dev are taking a stand for Nikki and Lakshya, even when no one took the stand for their relationship or provided them the necessary support (pointing to both Bijoy and Ishwari).
3. The growing distance between Vicky and his wife as well as his son... I was also surprised and curious after seeing GKB's expression... Or, how there was no snide remark during her brief conversation with Sona on the dining table...
4. It is safe to say that Lakshya is playing a similar role as Sona, when it comes to his relationship with Nikki... And, that, he is the one who probably takes the more dominant role in the relationship.. And, while initially, I was skeptical but after watching him, since the past couple of episodes, I don't have any such problems with his character...
5. And, lastly, I absolutely loved the way that Devakshi looked in the precap...
