While I don't really have expectations left in general from this track, I still was intrigued about Rudra's reaction to knowing that his father was abusive towards his mother.

But I'll take this in the order the scenes aired...

1) Paro running after Rudra after he hears the truth...his first reaction is denial...he doesn't want to believe that his father lied to him for 15 years even as we can see that he's somewhere already realized that this IS the truth...still he pushes back at Paro and the same arguments are somewhat repeated...Paro trying to convince him that she is on his side and his family's side and wanting everyone to be on the same side...while Rudra finally expresses that to him, his only family is him and Paro and no one else...and he thought that would be enough for her...but it's not...AFSOS hua yeh jaan ke😆😆...now this might have had some impact except this didn't really last long as the epi progressed.


2) When Rudra first showed up in Dilsher's room looking menacing after SO many days, my expectations couldn't help but rise despite myself...I loved how the scene was set up...with a silent Rudra unnerving Dilsher so much...walking over to pour him the drink...this was the investigative BSD officer mode of Rudra activated as he asked Dilsher if Mala is telling the truth...this portion was about validation...Rudra wanted to hear it from Dilsher's own mouth even though he knew this had to be the truth by that point...I liked how Rudra was all but calmly just watching Dilsher who got more and more nervous as he fumbled to explain...

Where I was disappointed was about how this should have been more about hurt and disgust at that point...I thought Rudra ended up being surprisingly calm about it in a sense...all he expressed to Dilsher was that this was INJUSTICE that he didn't tell him the truth...where is the disgust that his father BEAT his mother?

And then Mala shows up coolly to put forth general marriage gyaan about how both the parties involved are responsible for the mistakes made...well Rudra didn't need gyaan at this point, he deserved more REGRET and APOLOGY from these two ppl...which he obviously didn't get...I liked how he ranted at them about how they've failed him...but still I wanted more from this scene overall...ahh well.


3) The Rudra-Paro scene at night ended up being a very calm scene...more to do with a Rudra just TIRED of it all now...just tired of fighting this war as he sees it now...a war where he feels him and Paro are on opposite sides...the way he rests his head on Paro's shoulder was a poignant touch...Paro again tries to console him telling him that they aren't on opposite sides but there is simply a line b/w them and she wants to pull him over to the other side of the line where there is happiness...now I have my issues with this line as yet again Paro is determined to force her pov on him but what can one say...I liked how she she finally got Rudra to smile a bit with her "I could have thrown imli at you instead of the doll" line...and Rudra again resting his head on her shoulder and expressing the belief that he knows she would have still found a way to remind him and he could never forget her.

I felt like there was lots of foreshadowing in this scene...dialogues like "Tu nahin hoti toh mera kya hota, Paro? Khushi, dukh, sab tujhse hi toh hain"...and then Paro saying that she would never be away from him and that their bond had been tied the day she threw her doll at him...so I feel some seperation coming up.

Poignant scene...although I think it could have been made more poignant...something was missing for me today...chemistry wasn't that strong.


4) And the second half with the picture memorabilia session...LOL all that registered on me here was...a) Rudra looked adorable grumpily polishing away that one medal...must be shining by the end of that scene😆...and b) AMAZING how these ppl can play happy family after it was revealed that Dilsher HIT Mala...waah family of the year, truly👏👏


Precap I have no reactions over...I dunno if it will air tomorrow...seems too soon...

Yes , I have never seen such a forward thinking family ever. Whatever happens this family stays together, eats together and laughs together. Poison in ladoo, chilly powder in the eyes, long lost Mala returns after 15 yrs..Nothing matters. Get together, eat kheer and enjoy a good conversation. Everything is forgotten 👏😆 I have given up.
Rudra confronting his parents was good. But yes it was downplayed. He will forgive them by end of this week or next for sure. Going by the precap, some new track is already brewing. So we will have tata bye bye to Mala's forgiveness track pretty soon! 😃

you have put up it very well Anu. Exactly what i have felt about the episode.
For me what stayed from tonight's episode :-

a) The Rudra, who knew to fight back for justice, show people their place, stand for the right always, certainly went to a pause tonight. His silence was so significant, i could sense the numbness in his feelings, that how a son in that state would feel like after the threshold of his patience and tolerance was overridden.
I loved the way how he silently stood in Dilsher's room, was very calm in his approach, with blank and determined eyes. Ashish was powerful in this scene, more than the tandav i loved the silent treatment tonight.
And good that he refuted to Mala and told her that " what 2 people ' ? i was the 3rd person right ?.

Its just plane sad and unfortunate that still Mala, Paro, Dilsher finds it so easy to move on overnight and play house house games, behave in such a way as if Rudra is angry at them for a mamooli reason. Mala and Dilsher are smiling and happy, and their remorse, regret or guilt was so insignificant to make any sort of impact. I liked how Rudra was cleaning his medal and being ignorant to their stupidity with his childhood stuffs, but still Rudra was in the moment, and his sadness was so much visible. Paro has a problem when he is taking time to react and talk also ? when will the lady understand that he cannot be like her, yes he cannot go and jump with his toys and childhood stuffs , I was hell pissed at her when she was asking him to talk with Mala and Dilsher , like what the hell ? it ha snot even beena single day that he learnt the truth, and she expects him to overcome everything ? i wonder, if Paro's parents would be as such and she would face something, would she be like this ?

2) " Meri duinya tujhse shuru aur tujhpe khatam hoti hain " and " Meri khushi, gham sab tujhse hi to hai ".. Ahh, my feels..Sigh.. i dont know why i had this sinking feeling when he uttered these dialogues, especially the one when he rested his head on her shoulder, and just lets himself go, he felt torn, but he still did not know how to let it out, for him he was still living and breathing because Paro was with him.
This scene hinted that may be a separation or something very heart breaking might happen.

LOL exactly...we all might as well become blase like them and sing "Hum saath saath hain"...that is what it has come down to...

You're right about Rudra's reaction being downplayed...and that was my only real disappointment...I've given up expecting sense from the other characters but I guess there are some latent expectations from Rudra still left...today those were let down somewhat...

Did you read that Ashish tweeted about tonight's epi? Hoping we were moved as an audience? That made me feel a bit bad reading it😆...I mean, I was moved in some ways but I wanted to be MORE moved, you know? Maybe he was talking about the scene when Rudra is just so tired of it all as he explains to Paro also.

I guess intense Rudra moves me more than tired Rudra😆

Yes, forgiveness track is gonna be coming up soon...it might be juxtaposed with this acid track vis a vis Paro and maybe seeing Mala's concern for Paro, Rudra will forgive her? Cuz you know...everything begins and ends with Paro for him😛

Thanks, Megha...Yes, Rudra's SADNESS came through today more than anything else...he's retreated into a bit of a shell rather than ranting and raving full on at his lame parents...I mean I guess how much can one rant and rave over the same thing over and over again while these two just stand there like useless statues anyways?😕😕...You've used the right word...Rudra has gone NUMB now...it showed in that night scene.

I think Ashish's best piece of acting today was in the interrogation of Dilsher...after that the epi was a mixed bag for me despite some really nice dialogues like the ones you pointed out.

Well I sure hope some kind of heartbreak is coming up soon as the scene foreshadowed cuz this brainless happy family drama is just becoming more ridiculous by the minute.

I have to admit I'm disappointed that Rudra didn't react to Dilsher having hit Mala...that was the worst letdown for me.

His reaction was more calm and a silent one because this time his biggest trust was broken, his father. No matter how much Rudra was mistreated by Dilsher, but still Rudra was a proud son, he always credited Dilsher for being the man he is, but tonight that ultimate bond and trust factor was broken. He found it hard to believe, and it was convincing too. I liked how he told Paro that if she would not be in his life, what would happen , it was only because at that point he only felt that she is the last person i can love and trust on, and he was just grief strucken, that why its me.
His parents are extremely lame, selfish and stupid.

I think Ashish's best piece of acting today was in the interrogation of Dilsher...after that the epi was a mixed bag for me despite some really nice dialogues like the ones you pointed out.

Episode was mixed, as i said, the two things which created the most impact for me was his confrontation with Dilsher and then the expression of being fedup or somewhat feeling useless in his scene with Paro. I expected a bigger outburst from Rudra, some more angst and disguts, i dont know why was it underplayed, may be because forgiveness is knocking at the door, mahaan Paro will finally achieve PHD in her bhashans and Rudra will approve the PHD degree and give his forgiveness.. RIDICULOUS, the two pathetic people named mala and dilsher did not even go to him for once and ask for an apology and nor did they hug him once and tell him that how he is the only child, only precious and significant blessing of their life.

Well I sure hope some kind of heartbreak is coming up soon as the scene foreshadowed cuz this brainless happy family drama is just becoming more ridiculous by the minute.

worst letdown for me.

exactly, a heartbreak coming up, i dont mind, but then as u said after so many let downs, i dont know what to expect from a heartbreak for Rudra, technically tonight also it was supposed to be the biggest heratbreak for him in ages, and i was disappointed. Disappointed in a sense that they made it look so easy as if these things like a son countering his abusive dad is so easy in real world, especially when he is an army officer. Anu i have left expecting from any of teh characters, but my thrust for RR lies solely on Rudra, and dare not they mess with my man here, if i am still tolerating the regressive message of theirs its only because Rudra still makes sense to me, he still moves me emotionally.

Anu jee- aapne toh mere muh ki baat cheen li aaj- word to word! So DITTO DITTO DITTO to everything!
I was a little disappointed with the confrontation scene as well- there wasnt the required intensity in it somehow- a little wishy washy it was! Yes Rudra was not angry enough at Dilsher for being abusive towards Mala but i feel he doesnt seemingly wants to take Mala's side as yet- maybe? But I expected more cheekhna chillana from him!

I cant understand on one hand Paro asks him that he should ask prashnas to Maala and Dilsher and then when he does- she gets upset about various things- his tone, his line of questioning? As I said earlier rudra is not a nice, timid sort of guy- toh jab prashna voh poochega toh voh teekhe hi honge aur teekhe andaaz main hi honge na? And that lakir thing- even I am tired of this lakir thing that Paro is insisting and which HAS to be crossed over- my question is WHY and especially WHY IMMEDIATELY?! But is prashna ka jawaab hai- kyunki hum saath saath hain..and rajshree movies is not what I signed up for!

Anu 2- I loved your assessment of this family...actually this is more than a 'hum saath saath hain' phamily..here toh zeher laddoo, arson, mrder attempts...such minor pesky little things for a great indian family- kheer khao sab bhool jao😆 So why am I not surprised that just the next morning after the great khulaasa that Dilsher was an abusive husband- we are back at how the two of them remember each and everything about Rudra's childhood...ergo great people..ergo great and loving parents...ergo...bhool jao..minor mishtiks...hota hai aise...just look at them now- how happy and smiely they are now...ergo dont be a grouch...talk to them?!!! YUP Friday Max..we are getting a happy phamily back...dikh raha hai..the hurry to wind up this track now.

Precap..achha people are speculating about the new entry but it could be laila's doing also..nahi?! AND NO- this time around I DONT WANT Laila to come back..i've learnt my lesson the HARD way..THANK YOU!

Anu, I think you have pretty much summed up what i felt after seeing today's episode

I loved the start of Rudra-Dilsher scene...Rudra standing deathly still, not saying much but his cutting eyes boring holes into a very scared Dilsher 😆
I thought this was the calm before the storm which never came! I did expect a good amount of disgust, but Dilsher was let off easy, too easy..
The confrontation between the 3 of them...I don't know...Maybe Rudra is just tired of accusing them of the same things which obviously didn't strike either of them...maybe he didn't want to delve further into their married life and their mistakes..whatever...it was a bit thanda...the two were not made to feel guilty enough...

And the goody goody memories of the happy family was ridiculous...will we ever get a serious sit down talk between the parents and the child?? that we were wrong to drag you into our gharelu jhagde? that we are sorry? that...oh forget it...
The only saving grace was Rudra...as you said, grumpily polishing his medal and rolling his eyes at the show that was being put on 😆

Rudra-Paro scene..I didn't have much complaints...maybe coz the song is very pretty and Rudra was looking so tired...and seemed to find some sort of peace leaning on her shoulder like that...very minor gripe...i would like Paro to be a bit more physically demonstrative sometimes...just a brush of her hand on his cheek when he leans on her..but chalega...

LMAO the panic in the forum relating to the precap is kinda hilarious...everyone is worried that Paro ke chaand se chehre pe daag aa jaayega? Rudra se zyada toh other ppl are more worried about cosmetic beauty being affected😆

I honestly don't think it's going to come to that...the makers of this show have put in plenty of investment into playing up Paro's beauty...use kahaan jaane denge😆

exactly. i was all 🤣..
panicking over the cosmetic beauty being hampered ?..LOL. it will never happen...
i would say jab Rudra hai to no fikar, for him its all about Paro, her face exists or gets ripped off in acid, and makers are not upto that much extreme, afterall the only thing Paro's character can sell is hardcore beauty, so yes they why ruin that ?
