Here it goes then....
Whenever I remember this scene it starts with the tune of "Thoda sambhaln de, toofan tham ne de sathiya...." playing in my mind as the wordings are so perfect for this scene. The mighty RB needing to pull up his sleeves and take a breath to dive in the deepest of the oceans. He is overwhelmed by all the emotions and just needs to take a pause for the reality to sink in and accomplish what he has waited his whole life for.
And Prerna was just perfect in the entire sequence. ST was simply astonishing! Her eyes throughout the scene were never lowered even for a split second unless they were closed while resting on his shoulder and at the last when she could no longer hold his gaze, she puts her hand covering his eyes. But she never lowered the gaze. I simply adored Prerna for that. That defined her boldness and want and need all at once. The full sequence it was her eyes which played the part without the words and it continued even the next day when AB comes in the morning. The way she looks up after adjusting her mangtika was mesmerizing. The expression in her eyes was full of contentment of the previous night, shyness of a new bride, the pride of finally being Mrs. Bajaj completely, and mad love for RB. She was just outstanding.
Her voice modulation while apologizing to RB's frame was so realistic and genuine. It was so sincere that it was actually cute to see the lipstick sorry on the wall and it was this sincerity which also touched RB and melted him away. I also liked the direction part to show ST's voice over while RB was reading his card and note. Happy Birthday dear husband. That was a first from Prerna.
And I loved RB's platonic face at the start. Because he didn't want his hopes up and then being crashed again. The way he smiles at that mirror sorry, it was all pure love in him and not even an ounce of lusty love. While he comforts P she just can't stop admiring RB for he says. She really appreciates him and how lucky she is to have a husband like RB bcoz instead of being angry at her he is wiping away her tears. But there is another thought process simultaneously in her, that she wants to accomplish the task at hand and not just be caught with words and hugs and lose the momentum. So she breaks the hug; and in a somewhat similar fashion to that Kali mandir aarti, but this time around when Prerna nods at him to follow her, RB just gives a quizzical look followed by a smile which meant why do I even bother to ask, I know I am going to follow you anywhere you lead me.
And every time P lead him to the next step. It was so good to see that she understood quite well that RB was not going to push her and she will have to take the initiative. It also showed her will to match his love for her in all ways.
Once the cake is cut and before the song, there is a look that passes between them. RB is wondering whether to get his hopes high and P gives him that nod. It was then that RB finally knows. Their entire dance sequence was full of eyes! How ST keeps her hand on RR's shoulder while dancing is a sight to behold. And the perfect flashback of that evening when he kissed her hand and the way she looks (that will be another post). The BG score was so perfect!. Their hands entwined, gaze locked. The way RB expressed that this was the moment he was waiting for all these years and P expressing that she understood that wait but now she is here and not going anywhere. She is all his forever and this is the moment his dream comes true. RR-ST were just too perfect.
The mangtika was so significant for PRB. She hated it when AB gave but she cherished it when RB gave it to her. That was so remarkable and says it all pretty much. It also held its significance in the years to come. She just worshipped RB so to say. Loved the way he carried her and even then how she wraps her hands around his neck. ( Again notice how she wraps her hand around AB and how she does with RB in Panchmeshwar during PRB fight track when they save her from fire. Vast difference.) Given the time era, it was a bold scene but without any vulgarity at all since the story was built up so strong. And next morning the way she closes in and looks at RB sleeping was so satisfactory. She cherished her previous night and was glad that he was her man now. It was full of harmony and bliss.
And so glad AB's calls were unattended. Again that was symbolic, in favor of PRB.
BTW, she always used to forget RB's birthdays.😈 The look on her face when she realizes that she has once again forgotten was priceless. But how she made up for it was a treat for everyone!
