He does hurt himself when in pain about his loved ones...that raw visible wound of farq padtha hai altho it wasn't intentional...the invisible wound of the terrace, hate marriage.. may be not physical always .. .at emotional level he sure does hurt himself .. 

 

Agree peetal ka bartan is absolutely low aukaath. I am sure he graduated from that growing up..but at this juncture I vaguely read it as one of those juvenile ways to literally go into a shell when his loved one/s get hurt.. where as the cocoon of  adult successful business man is not close to being as obtuse...total asrish as you said..

 

Khushi knew all the way how much he gets hurt when he hurts her.. but now after the airport, after the physical separation she needed to hear that again just to gather herself

and just loved the whole premise of his tales being narrated as a bedtime fairy tale between  two women who genuinely love him ...hopefully I am not smitten by him to the extent of not being able to see the follies..

 

And, almost forgot.. best wishes for today June 19th... your special day...

episodes 256/257

saw the two episode this morning, a slightly tired sunday felt even more listless and wan after watching.

definitely the absence is being felt.

and as a result, desperate measures.

firstly, these are the fourth and fifth episodes i think of khushi looking consistently constantly sad and forlorn and droopy... tiring to watch. and not exactly khushi. yes, there was the jalebi making and the soliloquy of 254. but that was all. and a dream a little before that. otherwise, the same expression practically right through. sad... really, because i found it difficult to watch ipk. very difficult.

even the one with rocky's first appearance was better in a way. it did not have shyam minus clothes. what crazy tack was this? it was sharp to the extent it made one go "ow"; and close ones eyes.

khushi stood there saying many things?

how about leaving the room.

not an option?

like that evening on the terrace... the long conversation with a married man who has long stalked and harassed you, yet, you insist on finishing the conversation... here too.

why, she was more spirited and fiery when she met the horrid mr raizada the first time. she made every attempt to leave. here she stood and kept telling shyam to go, knowing full well by now his penchant for melodrama...

and who wrote that shyam bit? what was the purpose? the same leching and insinuating and crazy making of khushi could have been done without the village belle like going for bath sequence methinks. or maybe they should have given him a little pitcher to fill water. really, so he skulked in her room, waiting for her to appear so he could show her his biceps and triceps and get her on a sensual high? i mean really what was the reason for this billious scene?

he speaks of her angry eyes turning him on. ok, i thought of the angry eyes that do actually turn her on...if that was the writer's intention, a smooth reminder of the gussa man... i am okay with with those few words.

but khushi's eyes would have grown stormy and more without shyam's off shoulder look.

another reminder of the man in his cousin stealing his stance and word. uff akash said, "enough!"

how terribly wrong it sounded coming from him.

and how the heart leaped at a memory.

two episodes and more went showing several strangers with as many phones talking about mr r not reaching london.

were these all hints of the phonecall on the way? finally when you are tired of the many phonecalls will come the one true phonecall.

ah, something spiritual surely there.

well, since i can't get my passport and visa to london in a day, and several weeks of outsourcing and human bungling must be factored in, i better shut up and recede to my corner, hurt. whether an actor is present or not, the viewer always is...might have been great if makers considered this person. the actor gave notice and left, the creators left it seemed without even bothering to tell me.

so yes, kidnap gave us some fantastic and unbelievable moments.

but always when the one who had taken a little time off was there.

makes me wonder about the level of talent and commitment of the writers and other creatives...

You had mentioned the lascivious sexuality on some other thread. I don't  know why we have so much of it in our movies and serials. This whole shyam track was a big yuck for me. Just could not get the whole point of it. And the way shyam/abbas looked at this point was even more off for me. In the beginning, the way he looked and his actions made him interesting ( I loved something you had written, "shudh hindi and ashudh intentions"!). He looked the ideal young man that people would consider as good marriage material. And you just didn't get khushi's insistence in clearing up stuff with him.

Seriously off writing.

kizh,

he looked plain awful during this phase.. the interesting character they started out with, just got finished off. abhaas was disappointing., he seemed to have a much better sense of his character when it started out... now who is he exactly... a huge difference between a guy who sits daydreaming about a girl whole his wife is by him or in his arms and then commits curiously disproportionate acts of destruction to get his hands on her as compared to this... a very filmi, crass character who skulks in her room, and he the son in law much loved of the fam, with his shirt off and his lechery in full view. and as we realise it isn't even love or like for khushi in this case, just some weird power trip... their was a tender note to shyam, you almost felt bad for this amoral character... he seemed interesting, but somewhere along the way they lost him...

in red... yes, too much of this sleaze everywhere. a repressed hypocritical society i guess gets off on such sickening displays of ugh sex. a terrifying trend... i have grown up totally scared of rape and molestation thanks to these sorts of scenes in movies... something always said, this can happen. we belong to a world that has no respect for the woman as an individual... yet we have this veneer of a great culture that reveres women. dichotomy of the most horrific kind. disorienting.

in this story, there was no need for and no place for these excesses. unless you cared to show the why of it... something from shyam's past, something that made you understand why he was the way he was... to just say yes i am bad and let that explain everything, well lazy writing.

episodes 256/257

saw the two episodes this morning, a slightly tired sunday felt even more listless and wan after watching. so true. Have been procrastinating watching thinking I need to be in a happier mood.. will watch then, instead of the phase where I steal out time to watch.. to become happy.

definitely the absence is being felt.

and as a result, desperate measures.

khushi stood there saying many things?

how about leaving the room. exactly..and am nodding my head violently.. and why did she have the dal? He is sans proper clothing why is she even  standing there?

not an option?

And really they always handled Khushi and Arnav's closeness with so much sensorship and then just threw in this weird Shyam. I shudder to even think of him in that state in her room. Maybe the villain is exempt from rules.

he speaks of her angry eyes turning him on. ok, i thought of the angry eyes that do actually turn her on...if that was the writer's intention, a smooth reminder of the gussa man... i am okay with with those few words. hmm I hardly doubt that was the intention, but who are we to know. Maybe some person being forced to do somethings he found senseless wrote in a secret intelligent connection with the missing angry man. 

but khushi's eyes would have grown stormy and more without shyam's off shoulder look.

another reminder of the man in his cousin stealing his stance and word. uff akash said, "enough!" bhen? bhat? I misses..
