Another thing I noticed was dat whnever IMV had had his say amongst his family members, right there in the middle of the vast drawing room, he would take the elevator up, rising slowly above all his speechless family members (as usually dat's how dey would end up after one of his diktats). Today dey show him drudging up d flight of steps, a dejected man!
Y show him donning a white attire heading for Mangrol? He has redeemed himself, so can't him continue making brilliant business moves nd taking his business further nd being the benevolent mentor to his sons nd D? Y gv it all up? Dat's wat he is. Even as Ishwarya, he was never happy being stuck in Mangrol...dey could hv continued showing him being a benevolent IMV instead of turning him into a Master caricature!😡
Munira interesting point you bring here.. Actually I didn't notice it.. tht elevator was sartorial for IMV.. only other person who ever used it was Sabina and Vo during her recovery phase😕 and that also bothered me as it was a statement of how IMVs authority was played around with behind his back. what you say abt him taking the stairs.. a dejected man.. I wrote my whole interpretation in Paaji's post.. I see it as a greek tragedy.. where IMV reconciled.. tht its better he died.. and for the sake of his family he had to live this mangrolite.. like his baa bapuji wife wanted.. quiet frankly I didnt even see ishwarya in tht.. like u said.. Ishwarya had dreams.. of flying away.. he was claustrophobic in Mangrol.. so it wasnt even Ishwarya.. it was just the man his parent wanted.. the parents were always against the industrialization.. condoning teaching in a small set up.. looking down on anything corporate.. so Ishwarya's stand here was to live life as the parents and sibling and spouse wanted.. to give the parents their joy in the last phase of life.. if IMV wore a mask.. Ishwarya wore another.. it wasnt really a grand mukti.. it was only letting go of Chanda.. and likewise everything he built..
In the last scene.. I didn't even see the fierce yet affectionate father to VV, Sid, Nirali.. he almost came across as the male version of Parimita😆 if you know what I mean.. a subtle detachment.. this may have been an ideal end.. but a very irresponsible end.. If V. Ind suffers coz of IMVs renouncement, what abt Charu's ashrams.. did she not have any accountability towards that.. Idealism is nice but its rather selif serving.. in the manner tht it doesnt take into account the responsibilities that come with realism..
after binis made the last scene avis.. and I wore both of them in my dabba.. I saw the full circle btw the first and last scene of this show.. IMV flipping a coin in front of the ocean.. closing his hands on it.. like he owned the dream.. this time he gave the CORPORATE DREAM.. to Devki.. the same dream he had.. and closed her fist.. symbolizing his passing on his legacy to D.. such that she now owned tht dream.. isnt it sad tht none of his kids cld earn tht right from him..
IMV wore grey and brown business suits mainly and changing into the white shirt clad Ishwarya was a very simplistic interpretation of dark changing to white.. its for the benefit of al those ppl who feen this excessive need to see white win over..😆 at least in fiction.. coz they cant refuse tht reality is anything but tht.. Ppl like us feel no such compulsion coz we r in sync with our reality.. and hence are saddened to see a show like MB (whether it was channel pressure or w/e) lived to cater to ppl like us.. but the end catered to ppl who feel the intense need of good over evil fairytales.. sigh..
P.S. my biggest pet peeve is ppl trying to enforce their understanding of right and wrong universally.. that sense of morality is highly subjective.. and on that grounds I do not relate to master and baa... just coz they lived one way doesnt mean everyone has to uphold those beliefs.. there is no universal RIGHT or WRONG.. something may be wrong to YOU.. but thts your personal statement.. and sadly enough thro' out the whole show the conviction of all those that upheld righteousness wasnt strong enough.. except D none of them really cld live those convictions.. no wonder my fave characters were IMV and CP/Parimita.. Parimita knew her convictions are personal.. she tried to show IMV her POV coz he deservd it.. but did not enforce it on him or look down on him for not relating to it. unlike IMVs own family..
