Hello! Hello! Rudra aur Paro ki shaadi ki bahot bahot mubaarak.😉
Well, well, well, kal hi warning di thi Paro ko ki woh saaree pehenkar Rudra ke aage mut chalee jaana. The red saari of his mother that symbolizes everything that he hates about his mother and women , oopsie, khoobsoorat auratein. But when destiny is putting all the pieces together , Paro had to wear that red sari for her wedding with Rudra. And Rudra had to see her in that saari and laugh internally at the sense of humour that Providence has.
Look, there is not much to analyze in today's episode because its more about impact. Impact -Reaction-Repercussion. Rudra's honour, dignity, self-respect, his identity was snatched away from him in three minutes in the name of 'human rights' of a 'prime witness' who has been ' physically, emotionally and psychologically abused' by a man of the armed forces. SERIOUS ALLEGATION. Very very very serious allegation. Not that the seniors did anything wrong. For an outsider , who has not been in the four walls with Rudra and Paro , will think that Rudra trapped Paro in his love and promises of marriage and got his work done. And well, Paro's naive love and its soulful declaration is a matter of 'shame' for everyone and the biggest 'proof' that Rudra has taken advantage of Paro.
So, naturally, even Rudra could not explain himself much. Oh wait. He was in no mental state anymore to explain himself to his seniors. How would he ever explain his and Paro's equation? How would he explain that Paro is in his house because she thinks she is tied to him by the hand of Lord Shiva and Providence? How would he explain her virginal innocence and his own hide and seek relationship with Paro to the world? And how could he fight the cynic inside him that said that Paro has brought him this dishonour to force him to marry her.
He was stripped off his honour and the only 100% relationship he has with his country. And in the eyes of the cynical world and cynical Rudra , its Paro's fault. Paro's love , her declaration of this love , her innocent refusal to leave his haweli, her naive submission to his tests now look criminal acts of a woman's skillful manipulation. What was innocent till yesterdays is a beautiful evil today. That's IMPACT of how easily the world can turn around and call white diluted.
Once again, Rudra is faced with the non-existent betrayal of a beautiful woman who 'manipulated' everything just to get married to him. And wow! That beautiful woman Paro happens to be brought up by his mother and comes sashaying in front of him wearing a stunning red saari which also happens to belong to his mother.
Rudra , torn apart , shredded to fibers does what is one of the most common human reactions. Pain and devastation often gives rise to anger and vengeful thoughts. He doesn't remember that he was the one to start this wedding charade because more often than not, in such situations, sabse pehle doosre ki galtee dikhaayi detti hai. He only remembers Paro's open declaration of love and open proposal of marriage that has made him look like a villain. So, he directs all this hurt , anger and pain in Paro's direction. Why should i suffer this alone? We have been together throughout and if she wants to marry me, so be it. She did all this to make me marry her, right? Great! Lets get married and let me show her what marrying someone like me would mean.
Later, whatever Rudra does in the courtyard of the haweli with wobbly legs but a rock solid mind is just an extension of how he views marriage, how he views beautiful women as wife material, how he wants Paro to believe that her divine faith cannot convince a cynic like him that they are soulmates. The callousness and sardonic humour with which he gathers all the wedding paraphernalia - the agnee kund, the wood, the dyed dupattaas, the ghee container go to show that this marriage has no meaning for him. He is doing all this out of his own agony and in his now-furious assertion that he is not Paro's soulmate.
Rudra's state is not of an angry young man here who is raging , ranting and manhandling like there is no tomorrow. Yes, he is sloshed, he is not in his senses and he is behaving like a sulking brat - but the words he tells Paro are of a man who is completely in his senses. When he tells Paro his now famous faith v/s. cynic speech, he knows what he is saying, when he tells Paro that she designed plans to take over his life and marry him, he is well aware of what he is uttering , when he tells Paro that he regrets meeting her and that she is his misfortune, he knows what is coming out of his mouth.
The way the dialogues are written, the way Rudra says them with those pained terse expressions , you still don't get that vibe of hatred - its anger - deep rooted anger which he is trying to colour in hatred.
Anyway, Paro is getting what she wanted. Rudra , as her husband for seven lives.Yes, in a very twisted way , but then, when was it ever told to her that loving and marrying Rudra would be as easy a cakewalk as proposing him in public?
Don't look so terrified and shocked, Paro. This is the man you say you love - this is the man with whom you are going to spend your life - this is the man you asked for from the universe - this is the man with whom you cracked your soulmate jigsaw puzzle. Now, is the real test, Paro. No, not the test of your faith. Your faith is as flawless as your face., Its the test of your love. This very man who is screaming his lungs out at you and painting you as a vamp - make him fall in love with you. More than that, fall in love with him as he is , and not as you think he is...
Welcome to the real world, Paro. Now, bind this world and this Rudra with your spiritual world and your spiritual love. You promised that you will do it. Right? Will you accept Rudra in these shades ? Will you love him sans the protector avatar?... We know the answer very well , Paro. We just want you to discover it. You will always have an option to leave him... because he has not accepted you. He has just fulfilled your child-like wish of marrying him in his own style which doesn't happen to be too pleasant...
Pheww! Pehle hi kahaa tha na, Paro. Wo saari mut pehenna. Abb sari ke fall sa match karo. Woh dil chhod rahaa hai, tum catch kar lo.
You can sum up today's episode in one line - " Jo Paro ka vishwaas tha, Rudra ne use apnee zid banaa liyaa."
Anyway, well done and well played. Rudra was pretty cute , hopping over chairs and tables, breaking furniture and making such sardonic comments that you want to stop laughing during such a scene. Best line was delivered by him to his Paro - " Jhooth aur fareb ke liyye tujhe Padamshree milnaa chaahiye."
Paro's face and the whole family's faces gave so many reactions today that they can beat all KJo films in generating reactions.
