Hello, everyone!
Here with today's review :D
1. Kaira - A Love Story
Watching Kartik recreate their beautiful love story was a lovely experience. He was battling the waters of the Ganges with his friends and she was on the shore. A friend fell in and Kartik got pushed out, everyone thought he had jumped in to save his friend and Kartik didn't clear the misconception (Hey! All of us want to be praised. K's human too! :P). She saw that he'd been thrown overboard and not jumped off his own accord and exposed him in front of his friends. There began the story of a mendak and a sherni. They went from constantly arguing with each other to eventually becoming friends, Jai-Veeru they called themselves. And then, he fell head over heels for her and she was in denial. How could she be in love with him? But she was. And she would always be. And now, their love was going to bound by the sacred bond of marriage.
It was lovely watching that puppet show interspersed with flashbacks to the beginning of the Kaira story. How different do K&N look now? She was earlier the shabby, wayward Rishikesh guide and he for some reason had a buzz cut. Now, his floppy hair cover his temple and she has retained the fire from before, sprucing up only outwardly. Babies have grown so much. :)
2. Meri tar-tar aur tumhari bad-bad
This line!! I could go on listening to Kartik's tar tar and Naira's bad bad forever. For both of them, that tartar and badbad is now music to their ears. They can't even imagine a day without listening to the other speak. And sometimes, when words fail either of them, their silence is so comforting, so homely, so satisfying. Words or no words, they've established a deep understanding.
3. When you fumble, falter or crumble, I'll be there for you. And you, for me too.
The most symbolic part of the episode for me was when Kartik was talking about his proposal to Naira in Switzerland. He was crushed when she ran away and his heart had broken into a million pieces. Even though Kartik knew their story had gotten a happy ending, he still wasn't able to muster up words to continue his puppet show. Naira took the strings from him and started narrating her side of the story, how she was unaware of the deepest feelings in her heart, how she was trying to escape her feelings and how she'd eventually been led back to him.
This small scene held a lot of meaning for me. Even though it was with respect to a puppet show, in the greater scheme of events, it so simply showed whenever Kartik would falter, Naira would be there to guide him back and whenever Naira was led astray, Kartik would take control and bring her back. I loved this scene. :D
Rest of the episode doesn't make it to my stand out moments of the episode. Random goons attacked Kaira and GTD started heaping the blame on Naira, cause Kittu could do no wrong in her eyes. Not spending too much time on this. BTW, that weirdass pink shade on the goons made me LOL.
That's it for today.
B'bye!
