To begin with, I don't want such an episode on Mondays and Fridays. Please. On Fridays, I want some light-hearted romantic drama in order to survive the weekend and on Mondays I want intense romantic episode gearing me up for the upcoming week! Please reserve these episodes for Tuesdays!
Having said that, today's episode was simply so emotional and so well executed! I couldn't have asked for a better episode.
The episode begins with Shukla falling asleep and Veer waking up. Had this been any other show I would not have thought about it twice but I think we've already established that most of the time, every frame of KCL speaks volume. And to me, this was a beautiful contrast of two individuals, two characters of the show. One has fallen into a deep slumber after having hatched a plan to destroy his enemies while other, despite sleeping next to the love of his life, can just not be at peace because he accidentally destroyed a stranger's life.
On a lighter note, how does Sunaina knows Veer woke up? My mother sleeping next room ends not hearing me even if I shout at the top of my voice and Sunaina does - any exchange policy I can maybe look into???
What a beautiful scene! A mother saving his son, scared, and worried. A son dying of the guilt. He wants to tell his wife, he wants Krishna to know the truth, no matter what she thinks of him. Sunaina, on the other hand, is scared and a bit practical. I liked what she said about opening up after some time. She's right, a woman just came to your household, let her settle down before you start burdening her with your secrets. I liked how Sunaina found an excuse to send Krishna away and Veer pointing out that whatever story she made for Krishna is a lie. Veer understands that the relationship should be built on truth and transparency and that was beautifully highlighted. Also, this particular scene will help Krishna forgive him. She knows Veer has been prisoned in his own guilt for long - he has already been punishing himself.
I really liked the simplicity in the breakfast scene. A simple breakfast family scene, with light-hearted conversation. Yes, I would've loved a hug or some romance but this was more realistic. That's how husband-wife normally talk! Veer now wants to restore the name and his respect and the mother wants the newlyweds to enjoy!
Then comes the Shuklain Krishna scene. Another great execution of emotions. Emotions of guilt, love, respect and worry all were beautifully expressed. I don't trust Shuklain much. She'll switch sides again, eventually. Although I do hope this change is for real and to stay. It was more of a mother-daughter reunion, telling her to behave herself, to be a good daughter in law, to be careful of Shukla and finally apologizing between the lines. I understand the importance of this scene because Krishna had always loved Shuklain like her own mother. Krishna was happy that finally, her mother (in sorts) has accepted the relationship too, and she was worried, that Shukla will plan something soon.
She comes home worried and lets it all out to one person she knows will be there for her. And Sunaina not only did she listen to her but also consoled her, like a mother.
The mother comes home with a honeymoon package because she wants her children to enjoy their marriage. I want the honeymoon to happen! PLEASE!
Krishna is in her own world and then starts blurting out everything. I have never seen Krishna so comfortable with anyone. She could speak to Sunaina without having to think, without worrying that her words can cause hurt or problems or be misunderstood. The way you just go to your own mother and blurt it all out and be relaxed - that's what it felt like to me.
Krishna misunderstood the tears and pain, but right after talking to Sunaina, all her worries were just gone. She felt so light-hearted and happy about the honeymoon. I hope CVs send them to a honeymoon even if it's for one day!
If you look at it, these scenes, back to back, were also a contrast of mothers. There is one, who puts her worries on Krishna, while there is other who consoles her, wants to make her smile and keep her away from all sorts of worries. She willing to hide the truth for as long as possible, for so many reasons and one of those is that she does not want to see Krishna in pain.
I don't have words to describe the pain Sunaina is in. There is just so so much guilt, fear and pain. She's in pain for Radhay's death. She had liked him so much. She's in guilt because she was the reason Krishna lost her Radhay because Krishna went through so much because a man died! She's in fear because when the truth comes out, Krishna might hate her, might question her to why she let her Radhay die, Veer will hate himself and blame her (Sunaina). She fears the future of Veer and Krishna when the truth comes out. When and if separation happens, Sunaina will blame herself! May I also add that the actress playing Sunaina gave such a powerful performance, that I could feel the pain.
I know we all are paining and dreading the upcoming track. We don't want it. But also feel, this is just another one of those randomnesses that will eventually build the whole track. A few weeks ago, we saw Veer waking up from a bad dream, scared of what had happened - that was the first of what I am calling randomness. Today was another one. This will now justify everything Sunaina does, and for now, she'll play hide and seek. She'll do everything in her power to stop the truth from coming out. And I hope that for now, she wins.
The last scene was mostly detectives in action. Laliya and Shuklain trying to find out what Shukla is up to. Looks like whatever he has planned will probably be sorted out by the help of these two detectives! Looks interesting for now, but let's see.
All in all, a superb episode. The episode belonged to mothers. It was all about motherhood today and both the mothers executed it beautifully. Today was a very painfully beautiful episode. CVs please stop giving us these heartbreaking episodes just now, at least not on a Friday or a Monday!
I look forward to all of you pointing out scenes and emotions and expressions that I missed! Today was full of it!
