Haha I remember this scene too and these little bits are so telling about Adi’s subconscious state of mind regarding why he was never able to actually do anything to dissolve the forced marriage 😆. Gussa kar leta tha, frustrate ho leta tha, blame assign kar leta tha. But he never went the distance of even punishing the villagers for something he considered illegal and an act of injustice against him 😆
In fact he ended up telling that receptionist guy to mind his own business rather than clarifying the status of his marriage with Imlie. lol ironically the receptionist was trying to give him sympathy ki aapke saath bahut bura hua but then also Adi protected Imlie and the villagers both.
So yes it would be nice if someone asked him these questions some day and we got a better response than “kuch bhi humare control mein nahin tha” 😆
The truth is that Adi had subconsciously accepted the validity of the marriage with Imlie but couldn’t face it consciously for a long time and created this huge mess coz of that. Lol otherwise there is no logical reason for why he couldn’t move to dissolve his marriage with Imlie on reaching Delhi. He did subconsciously feel responsible for her and couldn’t bring himself to ever officially cut off that link between them on paper....so he decided to just go the route of consciously not accepting it and hoping that meant it didn’t mean anything enough for him to have to solve it legally 😆. What a bailbuddhi.
I completed my rewatch of the 2nd PD track today. It was such a good track. All PD tracks are the best of the story telling in my opinion😆.
The 2nd PD track was basically Adi learning that Imlie has not benefited even an iota from her marriage to Adi. In fact the forced marriage has all but destroyed her life😭. The angst between Adi-Imlie was so delicious in this track- heartbreaking really💔.
You can also see Adi's kashmakash between his conscious actions & subconscious feelings so well. Like you said muh pe gussa tha, baaton main taane the, Imlie ko blame karta tha but uski request ki wajah se sab rituals bhi kar raha tha.
SK & gang were ready with their tamanche to shoot him in this track also when he took Moon's name in that Baba wala ritual. You know what, SK & Meethi would not have minded if Adi had taken any action against the villagers & their family immediately after the forced marriage. In fact they were expecting it. But because of his denial of the truth of the marriage Adi lost his window period of taking action without facing any repercussions from SK. Once Imlie stayed at his home after marriage, SK was never going to leave him without paying for ruining his daughter's life with his life. Iska demo ab jaake milega BS ko😆.
I was 😆 at Meethi & the villagers believing them to be a "happy Kapil" who care for each other by looking at them. And whatever sadu face Adi made during the rituals he was doing his part of supporting Imlie whenever some problems would arise regarding the rituals- like Imlie not bringing their gatbandhan & her MS. It was Adi who covered for them in that situation. He also brought food for her on his own when she said she was not hungry when they had to eat from one plate. He was aware of her trying her best to not let her family involve him in everything but he would also get frustrated the next moment & blame her for it😆.
And I loved the SR sequence to no end. It was so so good. Imlie just couldn't take anymore of his accusations & then the way she made him realise that her life has been ruined because of the forced marriage whereas he still will get to live the life that he planned💔. So much angst. Such sequences are just rare now. Adi not being able to handle this truth, just left even in middle of riots & was once again saved by Imlie.
On his last day you could see that he was really reluctant to leave her & go. But was able to go because of Imlie's reassurance that she would handle everything on her own in PD. And then came the gunshot epis which totally unraveled Adi's suppressed feelings for Imlie. It was in 2nd PD track that Adi-Imlie got bound to eachother I would say at some another level. Their souls got bound to eachother & since then they have not been able to let go of each other for more than a day.
I think by the end of 2nd PD track, Adi had started regretting his marriage to Malini subconsciously. Because after that he started to say that he won't be able to give Imlie any rights on himself even consciously. Before PD track it was he does not want to give Imlie any rights on himself. Such subtle change but it indicates so much internal change. Now he couldn't give Imlie her rights even when he wanted to. Hence his suppression & denial of feelings for Imlie increased & he started to do more PDA & romantic gestures to Malini to prove to himself that he had made the right choice in going ahead with his marriage to her.
The serial has so much rewatch value yaar. The Adi-Imlie relationship journey is so good to analyse because nothing is spoonfed to the audience. There are several layers of actions ongoing at any given time which we have to analyse to truly understand their journey.
Sorry it turned into such a long 2nd PD track review post but I really needed to blurt out my thoughts on these epis😆. I don't think these epis were analysed live by you because I can't find these epi discussion threads in your posts. You started posting your reviews after the gunshot epis I think in the forum. Before that there were hardly any analysis & discussion threads in the forum.
