I don't know if TEI team checks IF but if they do, then I would like them to know that insulting audience's intelligence is really low. This whole track that started with Yuvraj's return till now, and especially this particular part of the track that has been on-going since Mahi's return to London, has been the most well-thought out track in TEI however the execution of this track should not be as complicated and messy as it has been in past three episodes. The episodes lack subtlety that would allow viewers to make sense of the things and progression.
Coming to today's episode, I felt that it captured the progression of the track very well. It was also an entertaining watch while keeping the drama quotient high.
Before starting out on today's episode further down, I'll quote from the EP 211/212 analysis that draws parallel with Twinkle's character's actions in today's episode;

The episodes marked us towards the transition that has started the "dance-off" or as the writers have eloquently decide to infuse, Tandava between Yuvraj, Twinkle and Kunj. Every player in this last phase of the war is present with a motive and a purpose to prove. For Twinkle and Yuvraj, the war has begun to reach justice for themselves. In his own mind, Yuvraj is a hero who deserves Twinkle regardless of the fact that he has not been granted consent by Twinkle....I'm not gong to quote but if you all remember my "forbidden fruit" analogy I mentioned in EP 200, you would understand that from this point on, Yuvraj has broken the boundaries of mortality as well and is pushing those boundaries to his own benefit. Yuvraj entered the bedroom, the most intimate place for a couple and by doing so, he has unintentionally placed himself into danger of the self-destruction of the only thing he has left. His hollowed pride and ego.Yuvraj's attacks had crossed boundaries of right and wrong in the most intimate sense. He was;t violent this time in his attack on Twinkle. He didn't force her but he betrayed her in the most brutal sense by insulting everything her life depended upon. Later on, Twinkle points at the time again before leaving the Taneja mansion as 8:30, indicating the implementation of a new trail and being half way across the trial. Leela assures her that everything will end well and so it will at the end of wrath Yuvraj will face by Kunj and Twinkle respectively......The verses chanted behind Kunj as he runs while deafening the goons that he encounters in middle of the road are "Hari Krishna" and "Mangala Harati". Hari Krishana is recited to remove the illusion of pretenses and lies and in simplest of terms, Kunj's arrival at any point will give a rebirth to Twinkle's form as a fighter in the fight between her and Yuvraj; while the verses from Mangala Harati that were recited depicted Lord Vishnu calling onto Parvati along with Brahama and Shiva in regards to preserve the cosmic energy of the universe back.>>> When Twinkle came awake from her sleep after she got back home from the prison cell while during Mahi's investigation, she led a challenge to Yuvraj to avenge justice from him for her sister's death. In the particular scene Twinkle's vengeance was reflected in her form of Durga. Goddess Durga was called upon by three deities, Lord Vishnu, Brahama and Lord Shiva when havoc broke out and the only one who could defeat Mahisasura was woman as Mahisasura thought he was invincible and a blow by a woman would be his ultimate defeat. Goddess Durga is a form of Goddess Parvati who is Shiva's wife and the most intense lover of Shiva. I would quote the particular episodic analysis however on being on time constraints, I can only add on that the battle between Mahisasura and Durga was reflection of a man underestimating woman a weakling and having full confidence of overpowering her however is unable to because of the disrespectful behavior he has towards everyone who stands in his way and also because truth and righteousness prevails over the demon. Twinkle successfully avenged Mahi's murder attempt to Yuvi however the battle was won and the War is still going on.While Goddess Durga wins the battle with Mahisasura, she is attacked on by armies of demons and in anger of seeing the chaos, her form changes and transforms her to Goddess Kali. Goddess Kali is associated with power as she is derived from 'Shakti'. She also signifies the arrival of new time with her powers parallel to Shiva in regards to Preserve and Destruct. Kali is the reflection of timeless form and infinite form of Shiva. The eye on her forhead signifies the destruction of pride and ego and this defeat in this battle against Twinkle, for Yuvi will bring him to the realization of the root cause of his destruction. Kali and Durga are essentially same being as Kali is only an intense version of Durga. Twinkle's walking into the mandir of Goddess Durga signifies how she will continue to be a reflection of power in the next episode.> Twinkle has defeated Yuvraj at his own game however his constant pushing of boundaries instead of admitting defeat and walking away has angered her and his attack on her relationship with Kunj, something that she cherishes the most in her life as of right now has angered her further on. Upon the revelation of the sehra and Kunj's arrival, Twinkle's world is frozen and the wounds of betrayal from Yuvraj in the worst sense has squished the reason of her existence. The only person to revive her to her full strength is Kunj. While Twinkle herself is capable enough and strong enough to face Yuvraj again and walk away from his clutches, in order to acquire full strength, she needs Kunj by her side and Kunj has passed half of the test by showing up to the mandap, by breaking open the gat-bandhan that two mothers tied and removing Twinkle from Yuvraj's partnership....Right after kneeling in front of Goddess Durga, she breaks off the wedding in her own right by pulling the mangulsutre and all the beads of the thread rolling away in the worst way possible....This track will break away the 'junoon' Yuvi has for Twinkle by crushing it along with his pride and ego. Yuvraj's forceful wedding and Twinkle complying with it will make the game way to easy for Yuvraj however him losing at his own set-up stage and losing the girl he is this close to will destroy him in a fire that he will be sitting himself this time.Kunj's project is still open. While Twinkle saves the bond between her and Kunj by pushing Yuvraj in his own dug well, Kunj will make not be sitting easily either. Kunj will be managing the legal aspect by removing the illusion of separation created by Yuvraj and by letting Yuvraj be answerable to Mahi. Mali's return should be marked by the ending of this week as she is the key that can block Twinkle's pain and allow it to heal....This track measures Kunj and him being able to win Twinkle just by his love while for Twinkle to rediscover her relationship with Kunj by allowing only love to guide her. Ultimately, this show's title translates into War of Love and Different kinds of Love. The families are messily all tangled into this web and as of now, each family member of the three families has become an active participant....
In EP 217 I mentioned that Kunj has broken the terms and conditions upon which Twinkle had allowed him back into this war. Kunj's position is as such of a guardian of Twinkle. Twinkle has isolated herself and will continue to isolate herself from every member of the family as long as she stands opposite Yuvraj. Her this decision is not just to keep her family safe but also delude Yuvraj into thinking that she is a weak warrior which would drown Yuvraj into his over-confidence. Yuvraj's overconfidence always probes him to lose and Twinkle's return as a more dangerous warrior in this battlefield has been to break Yuvraj through the most intimate manner. By breaking apart the purpose of his life in his own mind.
Twinkle stand alone in this war now, as her most trusted solider had broken the boundaries and paved a war for himself instead being part of hers.
The episode started off with Twinkle lying down in Leela's lap indicating that she is going back to the roots of this war. Twinkle has already picked up on the fact that mother-son duo needs to broken apart and her decision to put Yuvraj in his place will automatically turn uvraj against his mother as she has been the one to help him step out of the jail after he refused to sell his blood to Kunj.
Twinkle is held down by Bebe and Leela while Kunj stands facing her. Kunj position throughout the episode has been behind the two women, in between both standing as a foundation to keep Twinkle and his family together. Kunj's this position is altered because of his decision to accept the bet by Yuvraj and put his wife at stake by himself which Yuvraj had wanted him to do. Kunj's disapproval of Twinkle's plan has come to surface for Twinkle and has had her realize that she doesn't have much time to waste until Kunj calls all kinds of reinforcements to shelter her.
Twinkle's changed avatar, her speaking bengali and her donning the traditional red and white sari as bengalis do was a reflection of how Twinkle has escalated into a far more dangerous position now. The most prized relationship has been snatched from Twinkle and her own dignity has been put into question through the revival of the past and the past being placed on her face. > The anger of Goddess Durga has given birth to Goddess Kali finally. Twinkle being in a bengali avatar was because of Goddess Kali holding a very prominent place in Bengali culture; and her choosing to attack right away after reviving from unconsciousness was because of the anger that has consumed her to bits.
The episode transitions Twinkle doing a pooja for her husband. While her husband still stands as Kunj in her eyes, Twinkle has seen through the shield of his mother and herself that Yuvraj has been using so far to get by. Her first move after confronting Anita is to pick up the bed signifying that she has total control over the people she chooses to let into her life and the people who she chooses to cut out of her life. Bed signifies partnership as it is shared in a very intimate form and thus far, Twinkle had offered her consent to only Kunj however she has taken the consent back from Kunj as well by being drink on her own anger and rage. She picks up a dagger and throws it at Anita, shattering one layer of protection that Yuvraj has been using. It also signified how Anita's loss against Leela would be through Twinkle's vengeance as Anita had entered into the Sarna House to make Twinkle's life hell.
Her throwing the dagger at Kunj at Yuvi's insistence signified how her attempt at letting Yuvraj strike back at his own foot. Throwing a dagger at Kunj showed Twinkle cutting Kunj away from her confrontation with Yuvi and removing her own protective layer that Kunj had been offering by standing in the most purest and most raw form. The fieriness and anger ruled Twinkle throughout the episode.
Her not meeting Kunj's eyes and constantly calling onto Yuvraj later while Kunj confronted her but falling unconscious in his arms signified how Twinkle can only be calmed down by Kunj however she has to be allowed to walk on her own path until she requires it to be.
Twinkle will only be listening to Kunj when she realizes that her removal of Kunj from her own path has endangered Kunj as well by removing her support with his intentions.
While Yuvi was scared of Twinkle throughout until he was assured by his mother to follow her orders, Anita was more alert then usual and kept Yuvi at bay understanding that Twinkle's impression on Yuvraj always ends up leaving more influence on him then required. The submission of Twinkle is more dangerous then her opposition for not just Yuvraj, but for Kunj as well because Twinkle's spiritedness never allows her to die down. Instead it allows her to build that rage and channel it with such raw honesty that her innocence is preserved. Both the men are standing at bay from Twinkle and both have called for her unwarranted wrath. One, by taking away her everything, and the another, for being way too much selfish in his love for her.
The 'Tandave"has only begun. This is War and everything is fair.
