I'm so sorry that I've not able to lead a discussion in my threads as I have been wanting to but it is only because of my personal life coming in the way way too much then it's suppose to. I probably need help but I like my fictional world better since I was young. I have a long day tomorrow too so please take my pardon today itself.
EP 190:
The episode started out with Leela trying to light the diya in front of Mahi's picture. In Sikhism, the diya is lighted for 360 days in front of the picture of the deceased. The reason 360 days are chosen is because of the number's closeness with the sun and adding up to form the cosmic harmony that comes from 9 = 3+6+0. Sikhs light the diya in order to make sure that the soul of the deceased person travels on forward to Waheguru in the brightness of the diya. The ceremony signifies the return to the righteousness, the return to correct path and becoming a person that is balanced in every way in terms of right and wrong.
Mahi had not adopted the right path before she fell down the cliff. She had realized the truth but she had not acted it out and her return will mark her as a believer and supporter of truth and the right-side of the war between the two families. Kunj lighting the diya signified how the events of misunderstanding and separation that rolled out because of Kunj's anger and Kunj's constant need for Twinkle to be away from Mahi has provoked Mahi towards finding the truth. The same events provoked Yuvraj to lose his cool and be more and more careless which led him to drop his facade and reveal the truth on his own. Kunj lighting the diya also signified that Kunj will be the first one to find out about Mahi being alive. Kunj is going to be the one to bring Mahi back into the lives of everyone back as well.
Leela's breakdown continued today signifying the end of her role as a warrior. Leela's reemergence will be marked by the return of both her daughters by her side as till date only Twinkle has stood by Leela's side. The turn of events have also left Leela with losses that cannot be compensated which symbolizes the dangerous amount of vengeance Taneja's will come back with as from hereon now, the three ladies have nothing more to lose. The desperation to end this war that began decades ago has begun and this time, as said multiple times before; Tanejas are here to strike against all they tolerated. Leela for her daughters, Twinkle for her sister and Mahi for her betrayal.
The Yuvraj and Twinkle see was the highlight of this episode for me. Yuvraj has till now manipulated Sarnas into accepting him and forgiving him or ignoring his past mistakes. Despite their disapproval, including Surjeet, Yuvraj has been accepted because of him lagging behind Anita and using her position as a pawn in being present in the Sarna mansion. Similarly like that he entered into the station and tried to manipulate the system by imposing himself on Twinkle.
What I've gathered is that Yuvraj planned to probably either take the case away or get Twinkle paroled out under his observation after the initial emotional intensity has calmed down. I don't want to go really deep into the scene because my mind is a mess today and I'm to tired. The important point of the scene was Yuvraj holding Twinkle neck. Neck adjoins your brain to your body. It is literally the most vulnerable point of your body that provides you with life or can easily lead towards death upon injury. Yuvraj's grip on Twinkle's neck signified Yuvraj's control over Twinkle's life that will exist till the end because of their past. Weather Twinkle wins or Yuvraj wins, the whole fights is driven by Luthras because of their misunderstanding and thus it gives them certain amount of power of Tanejas regardless of the shift. Yuvraj's existence in Twinkle's life is a reality that existed and the only way to shake off that past is in Twinkle's hand. Her biting Yuvi's hand depicted Twinkle eventually letting go of her hovering past as Kunj's love will overpower and triumph over the hate in her for Yuvi. That is depicted through Twinkle's dialogues as well when she yells at Yuvraj that she loves Kunj and only hates him. While Twinkle's new found position in the battle with Luthras is driven by hate, revenge and vengeance; Twinkle will not burn in the fire of these destructive emotions as Luthras have been because "love" will always hold first priority in Twinkle's life. Kunj has become an integral part of her life and Twinkle would sacrifice herself in this war if she has to to keep Kunj safe.
I loved Yuvraj mentioning to Twinkle in particular order to not fall for Kunj and to not marry Kunj. Just as Kunj was the observer of Twinkle's relationship with Yuvraj, Yuvraj was the observer of Twinkle's relationship with Kunj. He was quick to pick on from the first instinct when Kunj made a deal with Twinkle that Kunj is different then any man Twinkle has come across. Twinkle defending Kunj while he continued to pull charades of romanticized and toxic love through fights for their relationship; made it very visible to Yuvraj that there was an underlying attraction between the two. The blooming friendship was a threat for him since the beginning and one of reasons why Yuvraj went on to try to murder Kunj before his marriage because Kunj was the one person who Yuvraj himself knows can stand up to Yuvraj and not befall to his level and win the fight. Yuvraj inability to handle the rejection surfaced in the interaction with Twinkle. His this inability is the reason behind his obsession.
Rats/Mice are disgusting but they are very strong animals because of their ability to survive and adapt. Yuvraj opening the cage of rats into Twinkle's cell showed how he would throw situations more and more adverse in her face and for a while Twinkle would be able to hold off beacause of her strength but she will call on for help and then, with her call for help will Kunj enter the battle as a warrior himself and will help her defeat the worse situations. >> Yesterday Kunj was sent out of the jail by Twinkle herself while today he was called in by her. There will be a time and place for every move and the one to make the ultimate decision would be Twinkle. With Leela as the advisor and commander now, it falls upon Twinkle to make the decisions. >> Kunj handing her water signified how after every such difficulty faced, Kunj will be the one to be able to compose Twinkle and cleanse her soul internally pulling her back to the person she was and has been.
The inspector warning the constable suspension signified Yuvraj's position in Sarna mansion. This has been the last stunt Yuvraj has pulled. After the revelation, Yuvraj will not be allowed back in. The inspector is Bebe being the spectator and the supreme advisor in the Sarna household. There is a demand of justice from Bebe and only once the matters go out of hand, will the ability to take the decision would be handed over to the person who is the head of the household in sense of running the house which is Surjeet. However the hidden visuals come forth in front of Bebe and have been since the beginning by Kunj standing up for Twinkle overtime someone has tried to tarnish her place with him. The injustice towards Twinkle and the one to protect her will be Kunj hereon now as he has been granted permission by Twinkle herself. Basically until Yuvi strikes in the next track after consummation, only then will Kunj stand with Twinkle. For now, he will remain behind her as a husband.
I loved how upon Twinkle's entrance, the first to hug was Leela, Bebe and then Usha. The one to welcome Twinkle back in verbally was also Usha and to usher her towards her rightful place was also Usha. More then Bebe, Usha's approval matters to Kunj and with her official acceptance of Twinkle in Kunj's life, Usha has granted Twinkle the same blanket of protection that is reserved for Kunj. Further on when Anita walks in, it's important to see the placement of characters.
While Leela and Bebe stood behind Twinkle, Usha stood next to Twinkle. Usha is also a bahu just like Twinkle and holds no significant position as such that Bebe or Anita hold in the household matters. That position is granted to Anand in her family. Usher's voluntarily efforts to shelve Twinkle and Twinkle having protection of two "mothers" will play a signifiant role in future.
Before switching onto today's episode, I want to mention one more thing. Kunj walks over to Yuvraj as he walks towards Twinkle and instead dog challenging Yuvraj to dare to touch Twinkle in front of him, in very clear words he warns Yuvraj to stay away from Twinkle. Kunj has himself witnessed Yuvraj's obsession with attaining Twinkle after he and she were thrown into a room by Chaudhry uncle. He knows the extent Yuvraj will go to and it's not time to play games. If Twinkle is a lioness, then Kunj is a lion himself and lions are calculative when walking into the field to prey. Kunj cannot afford to play games with Yuvraj because now Twinkle is not just important for Yuvraj but equally important for Kunj, personally as well. I loved how the lawyer called in midst of the interaction to formalize the bail proceedings. Twinkle has only transitioned into Leela's place in this incident and in order for her to completely take charge as she declares such in next episode, Twinkle's name needs to be cleared and that could only happen until Mahi comes back. With Mahi back in the game, the end of this war would be left in between the trio, with their supporters behind them.
The blue ink symbolizes grief and hurdles. Anita throwing the ink signified how she has been the responsible for Twinkle's current state by pushing her son to pursue Twinkle and later on her son's inability to handle rejection continuing to imprint the past of Twinkle over her present.
EP 191:
The episode started off with Anita throwing Twinkle out of the Sarna house, in middle of crossroads. Anita's idea of revenge had pushed this girl, the person not responsible for her past in anyway onto this juncture. Leela struggled to save her daughter, to shield her daughter just as she had shielded her daughter her whole life through adversities but in then end, Leela is herself also a human and you can't win wars by only defending yourself. Leela being pushed away in Twinkle left in the middle signified how Twinkle turned from a pawn to destroy Leela to a the person to destruct for Anita.
Anita bringing up Yuvraj and Twinke's relationship and exaggerating upon it signified how the past will linger on upon Twinkle and will continue to effect her life even after she wins because of her impending union with Kunj. I loved how it were the woman who gathered around and only women who stood out to defend while Kunj stood at the balcony. The ultimate savior for Twinkle is Kunj. Her call for him to protect her has allowed him to shield her in a very literal manner of course from all the humiliation and the blame-game that is surrounding Twinkle's position until the truth surfaces.
>> What really stood out for me was Kunj's usage of words to defend a woman from other women. The role of a female holds deep significance in Kunj's life as he was deprived of good male ideals and father-gigues throughout his childhood and adolescence. His
Twinkle needs sleep. That was the answer of the doctor. I genuinely take sleep as dying while breathing and I am going to put my analogy to good use over here. Twinkle needs to rejuvenate. She needs a break and needs energy. I loved the placement of characters in the scene. While Kunj stood by her side in his assigned position, Bebe stood parallel to her head, signifying her role as judge of the ordeal that the family is going through. Usha and Leela's position switched together and they later even sat on the same couch while Bebe sat separately. Both mothers are present by Twinkle's feet, showing how they will be there to ground Twinkle in times of need and will provide her with the foundation of strength and support. This is there daughter that has gone through so much emotional drainage and physical exhaustion.
Kunj holding Twinkle's hand and the promises he has made signified his position has also shifted hereon. His own war with Yuvraj has also begun alongside Twinkle's war in order to bring justice to his wife.
The scene to follow through, with three slaps and then two more added on by Leela to Anita was remarkable. Slowly slowly through December onwards, Anita has pushed Twinkle's past in front of everyone and today she twisted the details by pinning Twinkle as a criminal and Yuvi as an angel. The disgust on the three women's faces was visible throughout however the moment Anita said that was Twinkle not happy with Kunj, Leela rose up to not just denied the honor of her daughter but also of her son.
The scene marked the end of the transition of Leela and the sift towards the real game. Leela is no longer the women defending her honor and justifying her stance to Anita. She is a mother before everything. She has risen from the ashes that burned her and her daughters and is back to face Anita with vengeance. I really missed Eva Grover in this scene because the chemistry she has with Vaishnavi is amazing in such and I felt that intensity lacking. The expressions of shock upon Anita's face were amazing. Anita has always underestimated the Tanejas because of their goodness and there need to follow the correct path. -> but hereon now, none of the people will be following the right path in this war. Everything is fair in war.
One of the things that stood out to me was that despite interfering, Bebe was cast aside until the end when verdict on Anita's actions needed to be passed and the warning that Bebe ensured was that she will forget the last straw existing. She will forget that Anita is Surjeet's wife which ironically Anita herself seem to forget time to time. Why so? because Anita entered this house for a reason, not for love. Anita never intends to become Sarna. Anita is a Luthra and that's what she stands for in front of the world. I loved how she yelled her name clearly for everyone to understand that she is and will always be, Anita LUTHRA.
This scene brought us back to the roots. The fights that started between the Tanejas and Luthras has ignited itself with a force and the one to host this battle and declare victory are the Sarnas.
Twinkle waking up after realizing all the passed through was so well done. Jasmine literally stoke the show at that point. The pain and the agony mirroring her and then removing the stain and realizing the small moments between herself and her sister turned that agony and pain into uncontrollable amount of rage. The lioness that was Twinkle Taneja has finally risen in Twinkle Sarna as well. Twinkle wiping off the stain herself signified that despite Kunj by her side, Twinkle will be the one to ultimately overcome her own adversities as the past with Yuvraj is her reality nd the only way to go past it lies in her hands herself.
Just yesterday, the men in her life reminded her that she is a lioness and today, with the perfect rejuvenation and the fresh wounds inflicted upon her, Twinkle has risen in a way that no one from opposition expected. The authority in Twinkle's voice as she walked into rooms and territories of her opposition signified that Twinkle is no longer afraid of breaking the norms or keep the Sarna household united. Twinkle understands the unconditional love of her husband and the support from her mothers that will stay with her throughout. She has lost a sister she yearned whole life for and would do anything for, and desperate measures call for desperate times. The hollowed look in her eyes to challenge Anita to try to throw her out was so amazing. Jasmine is growing on me with her acting everyday.
As she walks down, everyone tries to calm her down. Cherry's inclusion in the scene is important. After all he need to know who is right and who takes which action. I loved how Kunj stood struck for a moment because he himself saw Twinkle almost shattering and while he believes in her, he is still learning and getting to know her.
The confrontation between Yuvraj and Twinkle was amazing. The inclusion of the goddess Durga along with the enchantments behind signified Twinkle's return to power and the sole power that rests with her to protect for every member of her family along with eliminating there miseries. The Goddess Durga was reincarnated with all nine divine powers that give her mental, physical and universal power to defeat the demon. Twinkle means to shine and stars even after falling leave are strong enough to leave a mark behind. Twinkle, is going to live up to her name and being a Punjabi patakha or lioness as both the men call her, has officially declared the war that rests in her hand.
The throwing on Yvraj into the mud signified how Yuvraj, despite being nothing still walks with the arrogance of his obsession; that obsession would crush in his eyes with Twinkle showing him his true place and bringing all the wounds he inflicted on her to justice. That is where Yuvraj would allow himself to be redeemed, but the key to that redemption would be held by Twinkle who will instead of using it, will walk towards Kunj leaving Yuvraj to the place he craved for himself by going after something that did not belong to him at all.
Cherry stood behind Bebe, who was the person who seem quite happy with the decision Twinkle has taken. It showed that there will be no holding back Twinkle because all the limits have been crossed. Cherry standing in the scene emphasized that the Sarnas will finally acknowledge the fight Twinkle has taken on to defeat Yuvraj and make sure that he realizes that he holds not an ounce of value for anyone in the world. Kunj's silence in the whole ordeal hold more then it lets on. Kunj will stand by Twinkle in her every decision and thus he came forwards to silently embrace her. It is also the first time that Kunj has initiated a physical relationship with Twinkle; an action that just didn't scream him supporting her but also making Yuvraj realize that he will the ultimate choice and that he is the one who married Twinkle.
I want to remind one thing. A lioness is the animal that hunts for the family whereas a Lion stays back to keep an eye out on the cubs and to make sure that the lioness herself has a clear path to victory. A lioness ventures out in the savanna on her own where her pouch is assertive and deathly but she also brings a lot of risk with herself because of being out in the open with no protection by her side. Kunj will take on the role of a lion, protecting Twinkle from the attacks that Yuvraj will throw on her in order to distract her. A lioness that Twinkle is, she is going to go after every single thing she'll get her hands on and the only person to protect her and stand in front of her will be Kunj.
The second phase of the war has started and this time the battle between Yuvraj and Twinkle has become personal. Yuvraj with his attempt on Mahi has already gone after her and the next target after this track will be Kunj for his ability to take Twinkle away from Yuvraj even after Yuvraj's realization. > In EP 185 analysis, Twinkle mentions that in 2 , 3 days Yuvraj will face his end. Going to re-quote it here to elaborate:
The next scene that follows through is returning back to Kunj and Twinkle's room. Kunj's black shirt represented his position of power and authority in order to hold Yuvi accountable for his crimes. His expressions continued to be of controlled frustration and anger as he stood by Twinkle, to make sure that he is able to soothe her pain. The subtlety and the controlled reactions of the scene made it stand out in the whole episode for me. Twinkle's assurance that in two-three days, Yuvi would be caught and he shouldn't worry further as no one can run away from truth for much long foreshadows on the events to come. 2 symbolizes duality signifying that in a day more, Yuvraj's plan in action will be put through but just as Yuvraj accomplishes in his motive; 3 symbolizing the union of divinity by bringing past, present and future into one place by establishing harmony and understanding, Yuvraj's plan will backfire on him pushing him more deeper into his own tangled web of deceit and manipulation.
[quote]I believe Mahi's return will be marked on the day of her funeral, which possibly would be held on the third day as today's episode was the second day. But the third day will be possibly stretched on till Monday. Awaiting to see what's going to happen next.
This track has been well thought out but not written out properly. I really am not enjoying all this wait till the romance fills the air again.
Sorry if I am not able to reply again. The analysis tomorrow shall be late and be published around this time because I have a busy schedule. Please leave your thoughts. They motivate me to write the lengthy posts and share what I am able to see in episodes.
edited to add;
"Tashan-e-Ishq" verse played when Kunj hugged Twinkle emphasized the beginning of War that began for Love. So dramatic. I loved it!
