IKRS Tuesday 12th January 2016 ep 135 My Take
Tripurari finally out of prison in the privacy of his home with his dear giddy, madly in love with him wife. But Tripurari has a purpose carved for him.. whatever he does , moves towards that purpose , to occupy his masters space! Here too he works to an agenda. Woos Suvarna his wife ,if needs be tenders a hasty apology ,looks remorseful, and ultimately grants her rights of a wife that rightly so a husband grants. However all his wooing is to one purpose , drug her into a deep slumber ,so he can get on with his cut out sordid task which will surely give him and Suvarna a new beginning.. so in the name of fulfilling his duty as a loving husband to his wife..he turns out the light for privacy..
Under cover of darkness.. Kanak clicks the lighter and her spirit plays with fire, for she is no weak female ,but strong in the mind. She knows well what she desires for, power. Her agenda is to reap on the successes, fame and fortune of her elders.. slowly she sets alight the corner of DT's photograph and mocks the smouldering flames . Full of revulsion she looks at his alight photo , he's lived long enough this babu ji, it's time now for him to have eternal rest.. tonight is the last time he'll walk to his room , only his body will carried out of his room.. she says venomously, spurns the charred bits of Dashrant picture aside. Kanak aims for the top position. She deserves it ,as she is only picture of perfection in the house.. bold and beautiful ,pity babu ji never saw her shrewd mind only saw her as his eye candy..
Under cover of darkness and a black shawl, Dhani slips in through wrought iron gates of Ayodhya niwas. She too has an agenda, to talk through things with Viplav. Her purpose makes her intrepid and boldly, resolutely she moves towards the front door stops before it and muses, was she doing the right thing coming to see him, at this hour? but it's vital she clarifies the misconception between them...Tripurari, jumps over the boundary wall, draped in his thick blanket.. before Dhani enters the house ,Tripurari's ducking, diving shadow slithers on the entrance steps to the house.. eerily she moves inside the house. Tripurari too scales a wall but forces entry into the house with intent to kill and steal joys of the household. Dhani too enters the house but as an emissary of peace! What luck to be greeted by a lovable fairy Shalu , than the wicked witch of the east Kanak . Shalu teases Dhani and takes her to sister in law's visit, in a stride and suggests Dhani go straight up to his room..
In the silence of the night.. in the top corridor both good and evil each go their individual ways, for never the twain shall meet! for goodness will be truthful and godly like Dhani and evil will be deceitful and of the devil like Tripurari.. he makes it to Dashrant's room and informs control room Kanak.. well! she sits up and gets the cue to snuff out the lighter.. make a power cut happen in the house.. what a symbolic act.. soon if all goes according to plan the power that illuminates this household will be snuffed!. The place will be in the folds of darkness! .. but even in the best planned skirmishes.. botch ups! can happen... and so it does, as dadi walks down to her husband's room,where Tripurari lies in wait for husband. Kanak spins a yarn , draws her attention, coughs, says she has a frog in her throat, would boil hot water to gargle but..not up to it.. of course dadi is asked and she obliges..
Under the play of shadow and light.. Viplav sneaks into Dhani's room..to kiss and make up ..well make up.. he thought he'd make the move first,maybe he was too shirty with her. now he can knock sense into that pea brain of mz. Mahaan Dhani..dhaneee.. he calls.. Dhani creeps into his room ,under cover of soft dimmed lights..vikal babu...? Dhani...? Dhani! he's not in his room.. wonders Dhani. where could he be so late at night? this is ridiculous , he comes here secretly to meet her and she's not here.. grumbles Viplav... ah well thinks Dhani , she might as well get it over and done with, what she came here for in the first place.. she takes his cap and hooks it on top pf his pegged jacket and goes ahead and gives him a piece of her mind! does he realize what time it is? it's very late and she came here especially to meet him! and for the very first time she wasn't scared to come to his home to meet him.. and he thinks she doesn't trust him? that she would go against him? does he think it's possible? she argues with her pretend Viplav.. why does he annoy her sooo much? some times she feels like pulling his hair or her own! she cries irate! Whyyy does he behave like that with her? she moans.. she too is angry with him and won't speak to him!.. Kanak pulls the main switch off! and Dhani goes..ohhh..power cut?
Viplav pulls his phone out, and rings Dhani! and she answers, thanks very much! at least he bothered to phone.. she thought he wouldn't bother to.. forget about that , but where is she? he looks in her room.. and she replies, in the room! and he goes, but how come he can't see her? or hear her! and she looks around baffled and replies, that she can't see him or hear him either! he goes, look she'd better cut the jokes, this is not the time for it! will she just come! Dhani rattles, she is not joking she's telling the truth! she's in his room ,in his house, she came to see him! ohhh crikey !thinks Viplav ,wrong place ,wrong time! oohh gawwd Dhani!! and he's in her room! he came to see her in the Ashram!and she moans, but she's in his room.. and there's a power cut and she's frightened now..and he goes mischievously.. too bad! wish he was there with her at this moment! ok.. stay there!and he'll come right away! but Dhani says, nooohh. He should stay there at her place and she'll get there
Dashrant walks to his room , and tells the servant to check the fuse.. asks for turmeric milk.. he proceeds through the shadows , Kanak peeps from the curtain and chortles , now he won't receive haldi drink but meet his death!.. and Tripurari awaits inside Dashrant's room, ready to strike him down!
Dadi comes to vilpav's room and is delighted to see Dhani ..who says to Viplav over the phone, fine she'll stay but he better hurry up.. Dhani goes quiet and Viplav goes, why has she gone quiet? and she mumbles dadi.. Viplav smiles, and dadi grabs the phone off a shy Dhani caught in the act of chatting up viplav on the phone at night ,in his room! Viplav! dadi calls, .. oops! Dulari comes into Dhani's room and it's Viplav's turn to be in the wrong place at the wrong! time.. she chides him soo bachwa ji this is what he does .. conduct clandestine meetings with her buchiya!shamefaced Viplav replies to dadi who commands him to get home on the double! And Dulari says, well this is a coincidence as Dhani went to see him at his place ,and Viplav ,smiles.. yeah right... sweet mixed up scene both of them end up at the wrong venues .. but their hearts are surely in the right place at the right time before it is too late.. Both dadi and Dulari too are relieved that love still glows in the hearts of these two sweet loved ones..
The atmosphere rattles.. Dashrant turns a corner approaches the room. Tripurari waits in the dark.. like animal ready to pounce on Dashrant.. the door opens a shadow falls on the carpet. Dashrant enters the room...and then Tripurari takes off his blanket gags Dashrant! and suffocates him with all his might ,till the struggling feet of Dashrant go limp! Kanak hears a thud and smiles ,lights the lighter, and says for Dashrant, may your soul rest in peace babu ji,as of today Dashrant Tirpathi's rule ends and Kanak Tirpathi's role begins! Tripurari leaves him on the floor dead.. pulls of his blanket, and looks at him.. he did it at last... then he realizes what he has done, his jaw drops... some one in the wrong place at the wrong time! and in panic he trips , and catches himself on his knee on the wall ,his ring slips off and left as evidence.. jumps out of the window and flees..
All hell let loose! The servant enters wth haldi milk for Dashrant and he yells mistrees!! The whole house resounds with the call.. Viplav still on the phone to dadi at the Ashram too hears the deathly scream! asks dadi about it, and she tells him.. she'll look and find out.. Viplav ends the call, and then with a spring in his step leaves for home!
Dhani ,dadi come to Dashrant's room and behold the "sorry sight".. it is Viplav's babaa ,Shambu ... on the floor with his hand folded across his chest!his mother cries, dhani cries, shalu pleads papa open your eyes! Dashrant hears waling and sees his son! his child.. he sits on the floor ,weeps and tries to revive him ,Shambu.. Kanak comes in with a smirk.. is confused.. in the main ,as she finds Dashrant alive... and the rest wailing around...? who can it be? she moves forward and then realizes in shock it was her "infirmed of purpose" timid weak willed, not much of a maimed husband... ohhh ... she pushes Dhani out of the and tries to revive him.. is he dead? or does he live? she thinks.. and what of that assassin of hers ,that she hired? Has he escaped ? did any one see him? her eyes glare and move like an eagle.. Tripurari escapes out of the main house.. but cannot make it to the front door..
Viplav' jeep arrives..he leaves it outside the gate comes in , and happily moves towards the house ,where his Dhani awaits him.. the ignoble assassin hides in the bushes as the rightful owner of the house ,the noble Viplav Tirpathi strides down the drive.. bahiyaaa! Suddenly the sound of his sister scream, then dada ji's voice , my child! tears the atmosphere ..and Viplav tries to figure out ? what is going on? then flies to his dada ji's room finds his family crying around his dead father.. Dhani sees him and brushes her hand on his arm .. relieved to see him ,yet devastated to see what Viplav will go through? she's glad she's with him at his time of great grief.. babaaa ! babaaa! calls out Viplav.. here lay his babaa .. who always stood for him..
Well what can I say except that it was a very moving episode. from start to finish. The music, the direction, the atmosphere and suspense was just superb. The death of Shambu was a sad occurance.. a mishap of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.. yet it moved me .. it felt like a bereavement .The whole family gelled together on the floor around Shambu's body.. including Dhani.. his beloved son Viplav's would be wife..Shambu will be missed.. he was a pro Viplav character..

Precap: Dhani supports Viplav at the hospital.. but Shambu does not survive..
