IKRS Sunday 22nd May 2016 ep 255 My Take~ Cathartic indicator !
In life people need therapeutic liberating from issues that crop up as challenges in their lives. Usually on a day to day basis this service is sought from family, friends and loved ones. If issues fail to resolve, professional help can be sought in such cases. The episode is a fine example where Dhani has an experience of feeling spiritually burdened with dark truths about the family. How through the influence of bhang she gives vent to her repressed emotions and purifies her spirit when she goes through telling it as it is! although in a inebriated state. If nothing else ,her catharsis or emotional release has raised some awareness in Viplav! The episode is a salute to the character of Dhani ,illiterate yet favoured and handpicked by the gods to tackle lies and pull skeletons out of AN's closets! For only Dhani is withoutguile and thus can point the indicating finger!
Crack of dawn and it's back to vile deeds in AN for Kamini. Even as she delivers a message from Kanak for Viplav and Dhani to come down for veneration for shambu's memorial, Kamini is alert to pick up any visual or circumstantial evidence regards Viplav and Dhani's married life.As soon as Viplav opens the door, Kamini is swift to gather they hadn't slept together. Dhani sat at his desk asleep. What heavenly delight! a split is evident. But soon it ends as Viplav goes to her, stirs his wife. dhani startles yes she knows the truth! Viplav disregards her words, is more concerned about her state .Seems she has temperature, puts her to bed and clearly fusses around his wife, which in turn miffs Kamini. Kamini tells her its shambu's memorial and Kanak wants both of them downstairs , Dhani's knee jerk reaction is to heed! but Viplav tells her to rest a bit and come down later, when she's better. Dhani resists and he reminds her, she agreed she would abide by what he said, so he'll undertake all the rituals and she comes later.Kamini's joy of seeing they hadn't slept together is snatched away, by Viplav's smothering Dhani with concern. Viplav's stance that Dhani suffers from some form of mental depression is yet again confirmed in both his, Dhani's and who knows Kamini's eyes too. As Viplav leaves to get ready , Kamini grabs the moment to prode Dhani,she clearly looks flustered and Kamini is curious to know why? Dhani s state of duress as she recalls the tumultuous scene between Dashrant, Kanak and Tripurari unnerves her, but perks Kamini who badgers her to no end to tell her what bothers her? Dhani gives a plausible excuse, she slept at the desk had a restless night ,loss of sleep. Kamini like the spider to a fly crawls to Dhani , allures her to share what bothers her? she might be able to help? is it to do with Suvarna did she call again? Dhani for once rebuffs Kamini.. nothing of the sort , she doesn't want to tell her! well Kamini has enough clue that Dhani hides information from her..she still persists, under the cover of helping Dhani as afriend ,she cannot bear to see a friend suffer.Dhani has a short fuse, she' said there's nothing ! besides she can't say!! its something she'd rather not share with her! Kamini is crafty enough when to back off, and lets Dhani be, with a word , no problem ,she can tell her when she's ready, meanwhile rest! Kamini's nose is slightly out of joint, as for the first time, Dhani actually resists telling her secrets. Still all the clues that Kamini unearths from Dhani, Viplav is denied, due to bad timing. Evil is negatively resolute and Kamini leaves Dhani with a purpose in hand.. to make Dhani spill the beans! Thus Kamini's ground work begins, veneration? not really! battle ground perhaps a stage for Dhani's solo performance?
The stupor of cannabis, bhang helps bring out before all secrets of the heart and mind. Kamini gets her ploy . The special bhaang ladooss that shambu loved. Made by his mother for his memorial. Kamini takes the platter to garnish them with almonds. Dhani instead of resting paces in her room under the weight of the serious accusation which if reveals no one is likely to believe. She decides she will tell Viplav the whole truth after the puja ends. Ramdin enters with a nourishing glass of milk for Dhani to drink and gain sustenance. Kamini follows puts on the feigned concern of a friend ,ensures Dhani, who initially resists drinking the illfated glass of milk saying doesn't feel like. But Kamini dupes her by saying ,she'll tell Viplav she's refusing , as he's the one who probably sent it in the first place for her! dhani gives in and guzzles the milk down! Kamini accomplishes her mission! As she takes the empty glass of milk from Dhani.. the empty glass that will hopefully fill all with, all that Dhani hides in her mind and heart.
The key family members assemble for the veneration. Viplav apologizes on Dhani's behalf ,on account of being unwell. Kanak and Dashrant look at each other hypocritically, each knows of the truth , but agree to keep it a secret especially from Viplav and dadi. Thick as thieves! Tripurari and Durga arrive too Tripurari brings his mother no one dare stop him now..a deal has been struck between the evil family trio Kanak ,his father and him..his mother like Viplav and dadi are in the dark. Viplav a man who respects women ,greets durga, who asks about Dhani, he tells her she's unwell but will come later. Viplav does notice survana's absence, is told she too couldn't make it due to under the weather? and recalls Dhani's concern for her safety. Viplav receives infact sits beside Tripurari in the ritual, Viplav will not disrespect his father's memory ,icily they speak and Viplav tells him , good he's returned, he wants it that way too.
Like a snake,Kamini stands over a gradually being doped Dhani, who feels odd, Dhani begins to smile.. looking phased out. Kamini tries again to wrangle the truth out of this stupfied Dhani ,but Dhani refrains instead goes into drugged symptoms of laughing ,crying simultaneously the cannabis has kicked in! she swaggers ,tooters on her feet , seems the room spins she cries out.kamini waits patiently for Dhani to vomit whatever secret she hides in her mind she hounds Dhani who cries out how can she tell every one such a big truth!no one will believe her!even Viplav wont believe such a huge secret.. Kamini is desperate to know this secret this truth!dhani in a drugged state cries out big secret , all strangers, all different from what they seem!all are wearing masks! Kamini begs her to tell but Dhani too leads her into an emotional dance.. shhh don't ask even the walls here have ears!
The fire of the havan smoulders and so does Viplav's speculations tripurari sudden arrival back in Banaras has to have a motive?he recalls now the significance of what Dhani pointed out to him, meeting Suvarna,seeing triourari last night at the eat out venue. So Dhani was right Suvarna does want to tell more to Dhani.. looks like Tripurari is up to something , reckons Viplav. Viplav jumps to his feet suddenly and heads for his room to posisibly tell Dhani she was right! But he finds her missing from the room! kamini too comes in the room ,.confirms Dhani was there a minute ago now? she doesn't know..
The veneration begins behind the smoke of the flames sit shambu's murderess wife.. the unique widow who believes in living life to the fullest in terms of image..the merry widow! once veneration ends. The priest asks Kanak to offer her husbands favourite sweets to his memory.. Kanak puts the platter under his photo as Tripurari watches ,tongue in cheek Kanak feigns mock sorrow and grieving. Stop this drama!! the voice of the deities command! out of Dhani's mouth! Kanak looks up from the low moral ground of lying hypocrisy ,to the top of the stairs where Dhani stands on high moral ground! That which dhani finds difficult to speak about, Lord Shiva will let her expel out in another way! the lord uses the snake Kamini for this purpose! Durga maa arms Dhani with the strength as she wards of the physical inertia! and comes out with the truth!dhani reaches the bottom of the stairs. Swaggers on, sits on the other side of shambu's photo as she confronts Kanak boldly ! is she crying for real ? Dhani questions all flabbergasted !and that too for her husband? Dhani laughs ,bua tries to shut her up! Dhani giggles and challenges the old battle axe too , she dislikes her laughing why ever? dhani struggles to her feet and her eyes fall upon tripurari ,take a look even Tripurari is here too! and why these crocodile tears?Dhani drawlsss.. Bua interrupts again . has she lost the plot? Send for Viplav! to end her performance and Dhani insistsbefore all yes yes call Viplav its exactly what she wants!let him come and find out what each one here is up to!kanak next stops her. veneration is underway but now its Dhani who raises up her finger in Kanak'face as she is onthe receiving end.. now she needs to wait maa ji!let her speak for once! they all need to tell everyone what you have all done! Dhani now looks at a confused Dashrant ,who'll start . mother,you? dadaji you ?or will Tripurari speak? Cries a drugged Dhani!go on tell everyone the truth obout your selvesDhani challenges in a drugged state she looks around , and giggles what happened to all?has cat got your tongues? Dada ji tell everybody the truth about your relationship with Tripurari! Dhani commands! who is, whose blood?.. durga and dadi are both shocked how the demand for the buried truth, gushes out of Dhani's mouth!this is enough to unhinge dashrat and Kanak who tells her to stop blabbering! But Dhani wards off her hand and sticks a finger in kanaks face again! no today don't twist her wrist.. Dhani is not a weakling! she only become weak due to Radha's love that she has for Krishna she cries as she points to the bangle Viplav gave her to symbolise their bond!she turns into the avatar of an enraged Kaali maa, screams she too can grip her wrist like so! andtakes Kanak's arm in lock behind the womans back! right before shambu's picture! All are shocked!viplav arrives! Sees his mother in a arm twist !and fumes! As Kanak screams in pain! viplav pulls Dhani apart from his mother and hurls her across the floor! then much confused looks at his mother then at Dhani most perplexed ..Dhani moves her face up towards him from the ground, and smiles rather disappointed in him.. protests lovingly , did he just push his Dhani??its ok Dhani wont hold it against him..she grabs Bua's arm and struggles to her feet and Viplav grabs her hand and pulls her close to his chest ,she tells him.she knows..whatever he does its for her good.. Viplav can see she struggles to stay on her feet!..he loves his Dhani sooo much isn't that true Viplav? he wore a mask on his face that's why he failed to see the true colours of these people! this loving mother of yours!,your dadaji and this shameless Tripurari!.. Viplav whispers be quiet Dhani.. but she carries on they are all wearing masks .viplav! their real face is something else! they are making a complete fool out of him! he is being made an idiot! Dhani rants on! She goes on this Tripurari! Viplav mugs her before all ..stop! she talks about his family , his mother! His dadaji!she is talking rubbish about his family before all! what's wrong with her ? why cant she stand straight? Commands dhani come to come to her senses! Kamini gives an evil smile , this one has to be the final boot out for Dhani out of KN!.. Viplav is nonplussed .wonders what's wrong with her? Dhani swoons , Viplav gathers her in his arms, carries her to the haven on their room..the whole scene will now be read as Dhani under the influence of some form of intoxication.. hence whatever she said will be brushed under the carpet.. but not really, as the guilty party will realize Dhani has clocked on to the truth..some preventive measure for self defence has to be taken immediately.
Hats of Eisha and to Dhani the character she play.. no surprise only Dhani the uneducated one who is not afariad to make a fool out of herself as long as she exposes the truth.. hamlet53 23.5.16
Precap: .. Kamini suggests Dhani drinks to cope with her depression???? Wot? The depression who says Dhani is depressed?? Kamini's dream comes true... the love birds will have to check out of AN... hope I have got this right?? No doubt all that junkie Dhani's fault... she needs to tell Viplav who gave her the glass of milk... after which she felt queasy...
