What an episode we got. (if I start counting how many times I said this since the episode, I will be better at mathematics) 😆
From where should I begin? This episode was a rollercoaster of emotions for RiKara and us. Such varied emotions by RiKara today, from tender sweet romance to fierce anger and wrath. For me, Today it was a dance, a fiery dance of intense emotions. (Hence the lame title 😆)
----------
Her Fear: Her fear, was masked and marred with her jocularity, when she unsuccessfully tried to make her stubborn husband see the potential dangers in his decision. She knows the dangers. He acknowledges it. But as an Oberoi a step taken forward, a word given cannot be taken back. Sigh! 😆
His Determination: He knows chances of his failure are high. He admitted his lack of knowledge for the sports and its rules yet his will and determination to win for his family's honour and pride had him giving his full dedication to the practices. (Ahem, what sorta dangal you wanted to practice with Gauri, Om?😆)
Their Romance: Our couple managed to find time for romance even amidst all the tension.😆 When she with all her style & swag, volunteered to practice it with him, the way he looked at her (was it wonder?) and his amused expression to her 'suuar' should've alerted her that her hubby was in mood for some other type of Dangal. 😆 That pull and the EyeLock was one of their intense ones. The fall, and the laugh that followed with ChulKara flashbacks and duet saathiya in BG made the scene beautiful. A magical moment of calm and bliss! 😳
Her Anger: When he fell, the worry over him took a backseat when the taunts and insults of the Dangal Daada took on a nasty turn. She rose, like a fiery goddess, ready to bring back her husband's fallen pride. With her red rimmed eyes and angry expressions,she defined female rage. The ensuing fight was a hit and miss until ultimately her opponent's physical strength won!
His Wrath: Even Unconscious,He senses her distress. He sees her fallen and like an Avenging God, rose to destroy everything that caused her hurt. HIs opponent never stood a chance against his uncontrolled fury and wrath.
Their Care: When the fight was done and dusted, he looked to see her rising. Concern replacing anger, they 'tended' to each other in an instinctual way that was heartening to watch. Their faces reflecting visible relief over their safety. Her soft caresses to his tender touches, the mutual worry and care was well portrayed today. So much so that the dangal Daada melted seeing them. They are comfortable being close to each other (it's more of a subconscious instinct for them) until someone points it out which brings out their awkwardness over it. (What am I gonna do with these two?)😆

They were a team. They always were, actually. With RiKara, it's not a game of one upping or over shadowing each other. It wasn't gauri's or Om's show. It was RiKara's all the way!
What a great show by RiKara. 👏 👏 What a performance by ShreNal ! 👏👏
That's it for now. Hope I am inspired often to make posts on MF. (Thank you Harneet for this Dangal sequence. I never thought I would but I enjoyed it to the maximum.)
Cheers

P.S I learnt tellyland Rule no 2 today. Never judge a scene by its segments. 😆
