Dukhtee ho koi baat, mujhpe aane de.
Translation: If there is anything that is paining you or taking away your happiness and peace of mind, direct all that gloom and sadness in my direction.I shall take it for you and you will be safe.
One of the biggest promises that love gives is that of PROTECTION. Infact, specially in Indian wedding rituals, this promise of protection is beautifully given by the groom and the bride with devotion to each-other. The groom promises to protect his wife's life and honour. The wife promises to protect his home, his honour and take care of him.
That is what today's episode is about in essence. The promise to protect your life partner by taking the bullet yourself first. There were these trying times when Rudra protected Paro and her honour with his life. He always put himself in the line of fire to shield her, to keep her safe and alive. He didn't care about staking his own life so that she could live. There was no verbal commitment and no promises given - but Rudra became Paro's fort and even the wind that touched Paro's body went through Rudra first.
Today, there is a role reversal where Paro has become Rudra's fortress. He saved her life and she is saving his honour. Brave wife of a brave man as one can see, she stands up for Rudra against the world. You cannot touch him because she stands in the way. If she has sworn to restore Rudra's life brick by brick , you cannot move her from that resolve. The way she has been intelligently warding off those women from attacking Rudra is COMMENDABLE. The smooth operator that she has become to crease out all the crinkles that Rudra creates due to his impulsive nature , the way she stayed calm today in the eye of the storm by handling the burnt hand and the long sleeve excuse , the way she kept smiling at Rudra fighting back tears and putting up a great show of a happy wife - all this requires both common sense and endurance. And how can you miss her steely resolve and challenge to Kaaki Sa... "You can't touch my Rudra. Deal with it."
This is what makes you proud of this relationship- the said and unsaid promise to always take care of each-other, come what may. Maybe there is no romance , there are no sweet conversations, there is no typical picture of a happy marriage... but Rudra and Paro are surely doing what a married couple is supposed to do - To always take care of each-other. And they do.
Having said that, I liked how Rudra's frustration over his passion and emotions for Paro was played out today in the first scene- the caged tiger skip and hop, the gulping down of glasses of water, the tossing and turning on the bed, the sulking quilt match . This was opposite to Paro's calm reaction who got the tension of the situation as a 'woman' but she demurely swallowed it like a calm lady. Apart from that KaakiSa setting up the hotmilk accident was a machination of a devious mind and i liked how they showed it. This detailing is what makes me respect the writing of RangRasiya.
So, yes, ladies and gentlemen, a good show.
Just two glitches/hiccups - Paro's reaction to the pain that the hotmilk caused was very unconvincing. The burns of hotmilk are like heat seeping into your bone and its more unbearable than you can imagine . We needed a more painful reaction than what we got. Secondly, we needed more clarity to Rudra's shocked reaction to Paro's smiling tears in the second last frame. The actors' expressions were spot on but the viewer may or may not understand if Rudra saw Paro's tears. Awesome job in all other aspects.
