Watched it again.
So the first part of Aniruddh just mumbling to Bondita, I have nothing to say about that, just repeat of what I said about the episode before, the problem is his belief system. And yes, this guy badly needs to have some command and control over what he is speaking. Even if she was a grown up, whatever he said was just outright mean and inappropriate.
Bondita, my girl. If last episode I talked about Aniruddh today I am all in awe of Bondita, thus I will talk about her. One of the main difference we can trace in her is, last time when she was asked to leave, it was her mistake then also but she was happy, she just didn't want to stay in RC Mansion and today with a heavy heart she was leaving. Poor thing took the slate and chalk too.
Just like that coconut phone has a very special place in Aniruddh's heart, the spot under the table is the most special for her. Whenever she faced any issue, any pain that was the place which gave her kind of a shelter away from the problem. Above all, that was the place where Aniruddh used to appear as her saviour, that was the place where they shared things, where he cared for her. That was the place where Bondita got a major part of care from Aniruddh. Its definitely special for her. And this time, she has to leave even if she doesn't want to - and this time she didn't ask koyli to keep any roshogulle, she was only taking one thing - some amazing memories. That was her journey from hating living with RCs and not wanting to leave Aniruddh. Plus, girl has got self respect.šš¼
Special mention to her looking at her bed, and then at the wall above. I just realized she wakes up everyday seeing that portrait of Aniruddh. The way she looked at it, really said those pictures on the wall were as much a part of her life as Aniruddh was. I just realized how emotionally invested that girl is in Aniruddh.
About Aniruddh's letter, what a petty letter it was! Goddammit that letter had zero content. While hearing it may sound like a very relevant and philosophical letter but it literally had zero content. How does he expect an eight year to understand his plights and dreams and what's good for her? Still she is way mature than other kinds of her age. He was just being a whiny kid. Plus why was he calling Sumati as maa? He is her maa only if Bondita is his wife. Plus, what he wrote about rishte and bharosa. See, whenever we give example, we first say the less relative terms, and what we say at last is the real and precise term - he said dost, shikshak-vidyarthi, and pati patni, bahu-ghar. He always saw her as his wife above everything, the boudi and bahu of his brothers and elders and that too someone who is his equal - the root problem. The letter is stupid. Aniruddh doesn't realize what will happen to her once she goes to village as a wife who is left by her husband. He wrote the letter as if he is doing some good thing but, Gosh this man is stupid AF. Someone please donate him a brain.
Special mention: Bondita ko meri zarurat nahi hai, shayad aap hi chahiye thi use, AUR ME... me use woh de raha hu. Mujhe ummeed hai aap use bhavishya mein ek accha insaan bana payengi.
Do you realize a major thing hidden in this? He is still think he wasn't good enough for Bondita that she will never lie to him as she never does to his mother. He is still think Bondita never saw him equal to her mother. Those words shout a kind of... possessiveness and disappointment resulting from it. and the sentence, aap hi chahiye thi use, aur me... what he said after that wasn't probably what he wanted to say. He wanted to say something like, She needed you and me? She doesn't need me. Something of that sort. Plus, if he considers they do not share any relationship, he would never say I hope you will make her a good human because he is writing letter to her freaking Mother! That sentence had an authoritative tone it which says by heart he is still hers.
And that is why, his hands shivered, his eyes teared up and a lone tear rolled through his cheeks. His heart is just not agreeing. He cannot handle this. Plus, it was a letter which started everything once and now him writing a letter to her mother like this is giving him a closure to their relationship, which is breaking him internally. (or maybe i am thinking too much)
did he not come out of study because he didn't want to see Bondita's face or he didn't want to see Bondita going?
The sandclock was a heavy symbolism.
I love how the makers made up a newspaper, even the pressure put on the word saty is a symbolism as I would like to believe.
The Bhidu-Trilu scene was cute. Its not everyday we see these brothers at loggerheads caring for each other. An utterly butterly cute sight!ā¤ļø
Okay now coming to Bondita, the star of the episode.
I don't know before we have realized this fact, that what a perfect daughter in law she was to the Roy Chowdharys. Obviously she wasn't a Kushal Grahani, but how much emotionally are the RCs right now attached to her. Her care for Kaka Sasur ji, her yearning to talk a word or two with him. Oh My Girl! Bihari said it right, iss ghar ki raunak jaa rahi hai iss ghar se. Batuk-Bondita scene broke my heart like no other. Trust me they're going to share a beautiful relation ship. The transition from exposing her bed wetting secret to saving her from Aniruddh, Batuk came a long way. She was a perfect Boudi to Batuk - someone who saved him from Trilochan Kaka's punishments, someone who was a friend to him!
My favourite dialogue; meri galtiyaan aur dard shayad aasan kar de sabke liye, mujhe bhoolna.
Now people may say its pretty heavy for a 8 year old to say. Considering how girls had to harden up in a younger age than Bondita in that era, whatever she said in the episode was just correct. Moreover she is a much smarter and mature kid than that of her age. What matters is, her innocence is still intact as she says this. And that dialogue, it just sounded so beautifully poignant.
[Skipped MiNoy Scene and Bondita-Saurabh Scene, not want to talk about it]
The Biggest face off - Durga Maa and Bondita. Her biggest friend in RC Mansion. The thanskgiving, the little little prayers, for one last time - to take care off her family members. She considers everyone as her family. She had transformed into Aniruddh's wife in the mean time. She is just the perfect life partner, at this age. Something Aniruddh could never become.
I just can't stop move on without talking about, Aurra in this scene. GODDAMMIT, this girl is a prodigy! Such a brilliant acting. And the VOICE MODULATION, for a moment I felt like someone had made Aurra cry and asked her to act at that time. This girl is surely going to be a super star in the future. She made me cry so hard in that scene. I just don't know, my words cannot justify the beauty of her performance.
As she bids bye to her biggest friend there, Aniruddh already started losing the already destruct mental state he had. Things are getting serious, she will leave for sure this time, he is feeling a vagueness in his heart, while Bondita accepted her seclusion with no complaints. As she looks into the study, where they shared so many beautiful memories, Aniruddh cannot sit still, he has to hover around the room to try and control himself - but no avail.
When she stepped out of the house, God I couldn't stop my tears. Those flashbacks gave me a major heart break. She came here taking her marriage as a child's play, to eat roshogulla and now she is leaving not even taking a handiya of roshogulla in exchange of which she married. Bondita's journey should be acknowledged!
Aniruddh's brain wanted Bondita to leave, but his heart and body is giving him signals. As she is leaving, he is getting restless he can't breathe well, he is anxious and what not. He is feeling like he is losing something - Because he is. He is losing one of the biggest parts of him - Bondita. Bondita isn't a seperate entity for me. He saw his dreams in her eyes- they are one. And his psyche is trying to make him aware of what he is losing, because of why Aniruddh couldn't handle himself.
Bondita, she met everyone. At least Bihari told her about Kaka Sasurji. But can she leave without meeting Aniruddh, her pati babu? She knew he didn't want to see her, or talk to her. But she wanted to, for one last time see him, tell him something important, do something. The way she threw her bag and ran to him, we realize how much she is emotionally attached to the one she calls her husband. That's what always made me sad, while Aniruddh is busy with Mini, in Bondita's heart her attachment to him is growing. And its clearly shown in today's episode. She was one perfect wife.
That scene where she throws it and runs is my favourite scene of the episode.š
Special mention to Koyli and Bihari. Both were excellent today.
Okay so this is maybe, me overthinking. Aniruddh was so damn restless when she was leaving the haveli, but as soon as she ran inside and when study is shown, he looks kind of put together. See the symbolism?
My poor girl switched off the light.š„ŗ
Hearing her voice, slowly whatever he had suppressed inside came out, he started sobbing. That little sweet voice, how can he not melt at it? She is special to him. But no, Aniruddh doesn't want to melt, he cannot cry, he isn't sad! So he is trying to go away, but can he reject this one last demand of Bondita? 2 moments of him for her? and her calling him 'Pati Babu' for one last time, pulled his heart strings.
Bondita's sound full of grief and sobs, its breaking Aniruddh moment by moment (only if he had a brain) When she said shotti and broke into sobs, Aniruddh's demeanour changes. Believe it or not, he was one inch away from breaking down and pulling his little Bondita into a hug. (don't take it creepily). Him crossing his arms across his chest for me is him controlling his heart, his instincts.
Again, her reflection in Aniruddh's picture I will keep repeating - they're one.
Sorry for this very large bakbak. This episode belonged to Aurra, such a phenomenal performer.š
This is such a wonderful post 
I can't tell you how much loved reading it Sujz
And when it ended i was like hogaya khatam?
so don't say sorry for long bak baks
It was really a heavily emotional Episode and Aurisht were wondering and Aurra man!! She really has a long way to go, I have seen so many child artists but none like Aurra.
Bondita really has come a very long way. I was actually telling my friend how last time she was so eager to go, eager to leave but now it is breaking her to leave this house.
That time it was just a haveli which though was giving her material comforts wasn't really a home for her. Because there was no one who really cared that much,she didn't feel any warmth there. But the bed wetting formed an unbreakable bond between Rudhita. They fought together for each other. That turned the haveli into her home, he found her warmth in there, with Anirudh, her rakshak babu. She knew no matter what he will always have her back. And with time she developed a deep bond with everyone except Som and Binoy. Everyone became her family. Thats why she was so sad this time to go.
My heart just went out to her today when she went towards that table, seeing and absorbing every nook and corner of the house in her memory. And this girl makes me proud every time. She didn't take any saree or any jewelry or even roshogulla with her. And he didn't even ask or beg Ani of giving her any chance, she is just leaving.
Coming to Anirudh's letter, it was really very petty. He was really like a whiney kid complaining to his maa about petty things. I too asked the same thing yesterday, when he is breaking all ties with her how does he still address her as his maa? And he didn't even hesitate to call her maa, its like the most obvious thing for him. When he wrote the letter I felt like he really didn't have any good enough reason to write at all. And him telling probably she always wanted you only, it had kind of bitter tone to it, like he doesn't like the fact that he could never become that important to her.
And that hand shivering part, Pravisht was really wonderful in that, I felt bad for Ani in that scene. I feel like in anger he may have said many things but he was never really ready to let her go, he never will be. He is confused soul who isn't understanding what he is letting go. And he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation at all, he is making it sound like he is giving her freedom back to her but has no idea he has pushed her into a life of darkness. I hope when he sees her in village he understands the weight of what he has done.
The last scene of Rudhita has all my heart, I almost cried in that part, the way she threw her belongings to meet Ani for one last time. This girl is really very deeply attached to her patibabu and in the study Ani was feeling restless because she was actually leaving and probably the weight of what he had done or the situation is closing upon him. I really want to see his breakdown once she leaves. He should feel that emptiness, that void.
And as you said when she came, he looked very calm in contrast to his restless demeanor some moments ago. Maybe her presence there did that. And she switched off the lights She was his light, his happiness and while going she is taking that light along with her
Ani was really on the verge of breakdown. When she called him patibabu, I felt he would start crying any moment. He let her touch his feet when he had said never do that. Idk what but that moment had so many feels
The bgm just adds to the magic these two are magic
I now just hope that Anirudh realizes what he lost and mourns for it and also repents immensely when he knows the truth
Sorry for my bak bak
Once again your review was wonderful
