The Wheels in Motion

Clip~5

Some views about this episode...

For me the episode was seething with a force, words like motion ,energy ,movement, change were racing around in my mind...ripples and waves were created to break the monotony in the present stage of Dutta's life who, in the words of Gloucester in King Lear " stumbled when he saw" ...Also I was reminded of the words of Pascal ,the French physicist " our nature consist in motion; complete rest in death...!!

So we behold the pensive Dutta with his sharp moves of shaving a piece of soft wood into a weapon with a sharp point designed to maim/damage, he is shifting his internal pressure of energy against his foe on to his handiwork!!... Naku's request of asking him to place himself on the chair as opposed to the ground, symbolized her weariness in accepting that along with other changes in his life, Dutta is also having to live a life style unfitting a man of his stature... Her moving herself to the floor highlights either their initial relationshiplwhen they first met i.e servant /master or the husband comes before the wife...Dutta's unwillingness to accept both her motions are grandly shown in the electrifying thrust of the of his freshly made spear which nails Naku's sari to the door post/wall ...thus forcefully epitomizing his knee jerk of changing back to PN without his love Nakku beside him!!

Another moment where movement creates effect is when Dutta expression of fondness towards Naku gropes for her hand and imprisons it between his palms...and her sudden, startled move of jerking her hand from his, upon the approach of Mahadev and Sundari... and Dutta,s gradual move of his face from Nakku's , as he swallows his embarrassment silently at the thought of being caught off guard in their tender moment...certainly unseen waves and ripples were created amongst the on lookers!

Then comes the move to change Dutta's eye medication... a change we all welcome I daresay!

Yet follows another move...that of Dutta and Naku moving from their solitude residence to the colorful ,fabric tented Nomadic village of Mahadev and Sundari!

The highlight for me is the oscillation taking place in Dutta, of reverting back to one of the many inherent strengths of his persona, that of taking a keen interest in the lives of simple folks around him...his enquiring questions from Mahadev about the day to day functioning of his people shows us yet again that Dutta is essentially a people man!!! It is not by accident that he is shown using a sickle in the start of the episode ... a sickle is a curved, sharp tool used by farmers to, cut ,thresh their ripened crop at harvest time... The sickle as we know is also the sign for Communism and Red Star and it symbolises the Unity of Peasants and workers world wide!...I had already prepared myself for some big move that Dutta would carry out today...

Ah yes! he is ready to do his bit ... raise awareness and self esteem in this simple community of people!! Dutta's intervention in the Mahadev / Ranga deal is very moving... how he reminds people of their labour's worth... Dutta empowers the people by his prompt to them about their existing exclusive strength they own, that of their knowledge of the handed down by generations of the medicinal strength of ayurvedics... He repeats to them to move towards acquiring the due renumeration for their labours...he motions them to value their worth... He shows his understanding of the general procedures in place for collecting rural bye products and selling them to urban traders... Dutta's amazing quiet strength in motivating this people to be in control of this process of collection, buying ,selling by cutting the middle man out for greater due financial gain ... not only moves them towards an ownership of what was theirs in the first place... but also illustrates another victory for our Dutta when he wins the consensus of the majority...

Now if this was anything short of a movement, a change, a motion, a revolution in the hearts and minds of the people, then I don't know what is???...

And finally, you see the move towards revision of current policy in place for access to Dutta's power, by a highly strung Sudarshan , and a bemused but quietly complacent Kala.

nice post hamlet

Dutta slowly but surely showing signs of a resolve to march towards the ultimate faceoff. Their was an intensity in his actions n face, was like a man on a mission, setting in motion a plan of action. In the clipping naku to boost his ego offers him a seat n crouches beside him on the floor.. [hain? naku carpentary bhi janti hain] one that i personally was never comfortable with. Naku after FR had been shown as unsure of herself, overly submissive and medieval in her beliefs, would cringe at her words n actions. Also felt she lost the charm when compared to koyal naku who was innocently bold and excitingly assertive.. spoke her mind so to speak. Their was this bubbly energetic charm to her. When u carefully observe the clipping she looks pale n tired, dunno why? why the sudden change post FR cant fathom. I see her behaviour towards dutta as extremely patronising even for a wife. Dutta comes across effortlessly regal whether he was in the mansion of PW or in the nomadic tent of mahadev. Liked how he rejected her differential treatment which is what should be shown more n promoted not the "pati parameshwar" types in a society where women are stil reeling under male domination. Im not promoting any women's lib movement here, even vedic scriptures defined what a woman's role in a marriage.."Ardhangini" is nothing but an equal partner in words n action. Neither need to dominate the other. Dutta's character portrays this aspect beautifully.

Hahaahaa, as ever any intimate scene between the two as a rule had to be interrupted 😃 I have a strong feeling the makers of this show were either very conservative or inept in handling romantic situations... but in those moments naku looks cute. i remember her hesitating to take his name that was "chummeshwari" lol mahadev,s wife teasing the two was cute too. Also enjoyed immensely rose's hilarious take on dutta's targeting her saree 🤣

Dutta displays his natural leadership qualities. He is the messaiah of the underdogs, the oppresed n the beleagured. He sets in motion the empowerment of these tribal people. Funny how dutta was taking a sip of his drink when ranga was threatening..

Incidentaly seema's conscience too is set in motion,lol when she overhears the bodyguards speak. She realises how she was just a pawn in kalawati's gameplan. And sudwa's dimag bhi ghoom raha tha kala ki khali plan ko dekhke lol.. It was amusing how kalawati except for once was never in doubt of her abilities, moreso after several of her plans flunked miserably.😆

Hammie like moths to fire keep attempting to write something worthwhile inspired by your brilliant writing... fail miserably. Anyway i would not let pass any opportunity commenting on ur articles which present us intereesting unexplored perspective of an episode..👏 Kindly tolerate my nonsense😳

hi hammie 🤗
hi warrie..

one after another you always manage to pick the bestest scene of ltl... at every bit i surrender this has to be my favourite one till the next part is posted and im straight away inclined towards that.

This is so brilliantly penned hammie ...like every word was defining each and every emotion behind that moment...just like mishal took dutta to another level...

that's how I feel generally too.. Mishal is yes ,very good..

'Stumbled when he saw'...only one word for this Perfect...its like you have summed up the whole story of partially blind dutta in this one phrase...the things which he imagined to be true when he had vision actually came before her when he lost his sight ... it was kind of a blind faith he had on certain relations top of the list includes kala...i still can recall the disbelief in his tone when at mandir he saw true colors of his kala tai ...awesome portrayel by MR.

tragic ,because normally people trust their family, don't expect to be stabbed in the back.

again very well put dutta refining that wooden piece seems he is letting out his energy against his foes... for someone like him the hardest thing in life would have been sitting like that...he knows who his enemy is...he knows where it would be found...he has the courage to take the actions...yet he had to withhold himself ...and i can well imagine the pain it would have given him ...the way he used to react without giving it a second thought one of the most highlighted factor of his personality was challenged here and surprisingly he waited patiently for the right time.

this moments are when we see Dutta maturing emotionally, becoming mellow in reactions,more self discipline.

nakusha making the chair for him to sit..."king'" is the word which is most appropriate for duuta shriram patil...though humble and grounded there was this one electrifying feature in his personailty which always held his head up high...somebody who can quickly over shadow any thing... i kind of liked the level of respect naku had for him even more than her love... though im not saying that a wife is lesser than husband in any aspect yet whenever it comes to tasha i have always wanted him leading ...holding by her wrist and becoming the light for her to follow as a shadow.

i think , they both lead each other, learn from each other, she too has learnt to forgive his past atrocities against her.

ahhh mahadev and sundari ...why god why there always had to be kaba main haadi between tasha...baaji ...kala ...AS...and here comes one more to the list *bangs head * i mean koi aur time kyon nahi miltatha in sab lougon ko it always had to be when they are holding hands or looking each other with all that love in their eyes...tada !!!...someone has to come

*peek a boo*😆

haan ise suggestion mein he tu dutta/naku ke chemistry hai.. not the complete act but hint..

i love how you mentioned 'he is ready to do his bits' .. when he was giving awareness to those simple village people about their rights...once again one of his finest quality highlighted always ready to stand for anyone...no matter he knows the person or not ... but he will be there to come forward to stand for justification...and the beauty is how even being a stranger his words has the power to cast that effect on people ...who within seconds are convinced ...a born leader in deed!!

this is my favourite bit, the man who knows the pulse of the people, and means well for them..hated injustice

hammie thankyou so much for this brilliant write up...your words are your power...May it florish with every passing day and we keep enjoying your masterpieces forever...Stay Blessed always

waiting for the next clip...post soon plzzz..
