Yudh 9: Moral certitudes - Page 2

Thanks a ton for the pm😊

Grrr8 analysis and a fabulous episode!

With each episode,and more discussions,its only cementing my love for Yudh,i mean the brilliant,brilliant show.

The rest, even Yudh's magisterial and moving speech to the workers, was like the filling of a sandwich, tasty and essential, but held together by the framework of these two seminal scenes.>>I guess thats the best way to describe this epidode!

Taruni-Yudh :

The more I see Taruni and Yudh,she reminds me of Micheal Corleone,who inevitably had to get into business!

While she tells Yudh that she does not want him to offer her any explanations, the truth is that she wants above all for there to be a valid and convincing explanation that would clear her father of any shadow of a doubt. She does not want her hero to have feet of clay. >>>>>You could not have written it more beautifully!

It is said that the back is the most eloquent of a person's state of mind>>Trudat!

But I dunno how anybody else will interpret it,but Taruni's call to Yudh about the death of a worker and her chetawni,the way he finds his way through this tangle and that oh so brilliant speech,that was a fabulous move!

I did not expect it to show colors,yet,heart in heart I so wanted Yudh to have a mild pleasure of coming out of this tough situation!Sort of a hero!The way he manipulated might be a wrong word,let me put it as tactful approach!but the way he acted in that situation,echoed Taruni's words about her dad,that he never gives into emotions,and precisely sensible,cold calculated decision.I too dont know about the ethics of those kind of decisions,as Taruni says!

But his lines to the inspector,way too inspiring,that whole incident along with Taruni getting to know about the MM,was a sort of resurrection of Yudh,for himself and also for her.

And when she asks, her voice harsh with worry and fear Aapko marna kaun chahta hai? , the long, level look that Yudh gives her is a marvel of nuance. His gaze is at first ever so slightly startled, then questioning - How much can I tell her? - and then assessing - How much can she take? >>>This one from your side is fabulous!

Maine khatra to mol liya hai.. bahut der ho chuki hai.. main kahin nahin jaane wala.. Yeh khel aapko ab meri tarah hi khelna hoga..>>>Says many things!

This too is vintage Amitabh Bachchan, merely remixed to suit his present age, but the rock hard defiance of the bad guys is exactly the same as in his Zanjeer and Deewaar days.>>Totally!!

Moral certitudes: We need no longer have even the faintest of doubts as to Yudh's integrity and humanity. Both are rock steady>I for once never had a shadow of doubt over this man's integrity!

Anand: Unshakable loyalty:
He for me,from day one is Yudh's Consigliere.The first episode made me dwindle between Anand and Mona!But nah,he proved me worng the same day!He's Tom Hagen!So I would really not want him to be the MM,or rather It would turn out to be a dissapointing affair,if he is the MM!

I really dont have any words for Mona,seriously😲

Gautam:

I am sorry,do bear with me,but I am an ardent fan of Godfather,so inevitably this character too reminds me of an old friend of DOn Vito Corleone,who later guides Michael!

I guess I need to keep reinventing myself for some adjectives,for your fabulous posts!

M out for a couple of days but will catch up

Taruni-Yudh 2: The mood here is the total opposite of that in the first one. When Taruni comes in and looks down at the recumbent Yudh, eyes closed and fatigue etched in every line of his body, her eyes almost brim over with regret and sadness. Yes, and guilt too, for having burdened this already overburdened man with her loss of faith in him.

When he opens his eyes and sees her seated next to him, his first query is about the injured workers, and the next sentence is to say that he wishes he could thank for all that she had done and was doing for them. He does not even touch on the really sticky issue between them, her harsh assessment of his character.

It is no wonder that Taruni's face and eyes are tense and guilty as she apologises, and she does this frankly and with no circumlocutions or excuses. That is the way she is, upfront and open, both for good and for bad. Thus, it is admirable that even when she has such serious doubts about her father, she still does not fail to inform him about the death of the injured worker Mohan at the hospital, for she scents trouble ahead and does not want him to be taken by surprise.

It is equally characteristic of Yudh that he brushes aside her apology as uncalled for. And when she asks, her voice harsh with worry and fear Aapko marna kaun chahta hai? , the long, level look that Yudh gives her is a marvel of nuance. His gaze is at first ever so slightly startled, then questioning - How much can I tell her? - and then assessing - How much can she take?

He decides that she can indeed take it, and he comes clean with her about both his usualdushman, the ones he knows, and this new one, far more chalak, who wants to kill him and if whom he knows nothing.

All the fear and anguish that are choking Taruni's throat then come bubbling out in that one question: Aap aise kaise jeete hain? The difference between her secure, uncomplicated existence and his troubled, at times besieged, existence, right now under murderous threat from a shadowy, very astute unknown, was never more starkly expressed.

When he talks of his responsibility for the livelihoods of his 10000+ employees, to fulfil which he has to live, when he assures her that he can tackle his enemies, and confesses that it is this disease that has defeated him, Taruni's face melts in empathy and caring and a desperate desire to save him and to lighten his daily burdens. As she promises that she will do everything she can to help him cope with his disease, Yudh's face lights up with pride and affection in his daughter. It was wonderful to behold.

Then comes the clash of wills over the phone between the Minister, convinced that Yudh is deliberately flouting the verbal agreement reached in person between them a day earlier, and a Yudh who tries hard to avoid a falling out with this powerful man. Taruni is a witness who hears only one side, Yudh's , and has to imagine the rest.

Her face is tense as Yudh is trying to ward the threatening caller off, assuring him that there is no question of his being against the Minister, and that he would make sure his interests would be taken care of by ensuring that the output from the mine was not reduced in any way. She is clearly on edge, afraid that there is more trouble on the way for her already embattled dad.

Yudh then faces down the Minister, who insists that it has to be his way or the highway, and that Yudh can quit if he will not toe the line : Maine khatra to mol liya hai.. bahut der ho chuki hai.. main kahin nahin jaane wala.. Yeh khel aapko ab meri tarah hi khelna hoga..

This too is vintage Amitabh Bachchan, merely remixed to suit his present age, but the rock hard defiance of the bad guys is exactly the same as in his Zanjeer and Deewaar days.

It is significant that as she listens, the unshakably principled Taruni does not look proud and relieved that her father is a man of such courage, compassion and integrity. On the contrary, it is worry that dominates in her eyes, for anything that goes wrong with this man, whom she not only admires but now also loves, will affect her as much as it does him.

The poet says, rightly, that He who hath a child has given a hostage to fortune. One could, looking at Taruni, say with equal truth She who hath a parent has given a hostage to fortune.

what a delight to read and not watch (again). We are completely in sync here. Do I need to watch, I think not. Thanks Shyamala Akka.

----------------------

This is Yudh's philosophy of life in a nutshell. He has been pushing the envelope all his life, and he has not stopped doing so. He will always choose the path less travelled, the more difficult one, and he will push himself beyond his normal capacities to get where he wants to get. And those who would walk with him on his chosen path have to be prepared to face whatever comes. And in the precap, it seems to be coming with fiery flames.

Well the above puts paid to my theory that Yudh is an unknown quantity and for now, I'm happy to be wrong.

Thank you. Munni dear. I hope you are watching the episodes, unlike PadBear, who has timing problems and makes herself believe that my post is as good as the telecast, which it can never be!

srry for the late reply. really awsum writing.

Well, my dear, I do wish you would watch the episodes as well. My posts are just NOT enough, and I do not want you to miss out on something so special. This said, I myself loved the last bit about hostages to fortune.
