Forewarning:
No bashing is allowed in this thread.
Let me start again…I’m too overwhelmed, in a trance, floating on the clouds, reporting from heaven
All of the above exactly like you all Dear Raghav , Pallavi & RaghVi Fans!!
🤗😳
I don’t really write about an Episode & specially not this much. But Episode 138 really undid something in me & the result is below. It might have become long but please try to spare some time to read through my thoughts(not 2 cents cos they definitely aren't just that😛) here:
Ep:138 - Of New Beginnings & Feels of Being Lost in Love
Scene 1) You can look at the happy flow of emotions Pallavi feels when Raghav says ‘We’ll have Maharashtrian Food Today. We should definitely commemorate today by celebrating it with full pomp & show’ .
Did someone notice that they didn’t leave each others’ hands when the staff entered nor throughout the conversation? I can’t remember the names of the staff anymore, they keep changing like the revolving doors of a 7-Star restaurant. Naidu, Rajan, Keshav, Where’s our Rama?
Ofcourse my babies are interrupted yet again. ITV & it’s protocols Duh!! I pity the staff who’re cursed by half the fandom for just helping the channel do as requested , but I guess they already know what they signed up for😆
Raghav’s eyes are one of the most expressive set of eyes I have seen. He adores Pallavi & when she has also finally accepted that he holds the same mighty position in her life that she does in his, he can’t hold back the free flow of his emotions anymore. Pretty visible in that slight pull & the Forehead Touch - it’s as if they have finally found their oasis within each other.
Scene 2) The song plays - ‘Meri Raahein Teri Tak Hai, Tujhpe Hi Toh Mera Haq hai’.
Remember, when the song was played during the Ice-Gola scene where Pallavi’s trying to atone her mistake of having fed Raghav the superspicy-chilly-filled food (leading to Raghav’s allergy attack) by feeding him the Ice-Gola with her own hands. How even then he held her hand gently yet firmly with full right.
Cut to today’s scene of Pallavi helping him again by here with the Dhoti without any inhibitions. Their happiness bubble is just so full right now .
I loved the song then and I loved it today❤️ .
Scene 3) Raghav is so in love with his Pallavi, he can’t stop speaking the 3 words continuously to her. He wants to tell the whole world that Saree ka Dukan is his. She’s his wife & it’s well within both their rights to say & listen to the 3 golden words from each other (without any concern of the outside world) .
One can just look at Pallavi’s eyes to understand how special, how surprised yet happy she is at him continuously churning out I Love Yous for her. For a girl, who had given up on having a partner let alone finding love in her life, she’s found someone who does it all - isn’t shy in declaring what he feels for her, takes pride in calling her his own and someone who is genuinely happy belonging to her (and not due to an arranged system but from his own heart).
While at the D-Nivas, she was under the false impression she was free, she knows how free-spirited this home that the Raos have actually is. She knows how frank her MIL is here & how unabashedly Devar & Amma can pull her leg for having Raghav wrapped around her fingers.
Indeed Pehla Pehla Pyaar & Usska Khumaar🤗😳
Scene 4) Pallavi decided to have a codeword for their newfound love. Is it just because she doesn’t want to be embarrassed or to actually just have something that is their own or something she wanted to try as a couple for them? We’ll never find out! And frankly, it doesn’t matter cos it’s about them. It’s how they want to treat the start of their relationship. The way Raghav asks her to repeat the gesture, I’m sure it was also a way to get atleast one I Love You in their room from her cos unlike him she’s not the kind to keep shouting the words. She’s a reserved person & he understands that part of her - noticeably accepting her codeword for themselves.
May I add both of them look cute as buttons here😳. Haaye, nazar utarofying
Scene 5) Mandaar - (First of all, a huge applaud to Ashok Phal Desai to have gotten under the skin of character so well that we already want him crawling away begging on his feet).
Baba’s emotions could be very well noticed today. He’s got his son back & the son instead of acknowledging his own father who’s been with him all his life is not even trying to remember him😒
(You can clearly see how irritated he is at Sulochana for suggesting that Pallavi is connected to Mandaar somehow. He still hates her with all his might & wants nothing to do with Pallavi).
But, all the newfound son wants to do is obsess about Pallavi with whom he hasn’t spent any real-life moments except at their wedding altar - none of which he remembers too.
And before you people throw chappals at me, please read below patiently🤡
Okay, here I would also like to say if this is Mandaar, I understand that not having your memory & if you actually remember just one name, you would want that person to be around to be your anchor. He doesn’t yet know that they didn’t really have any relationship at all & just thinks that she could be the keys to all his questions, as a wife is the better half and would definitely be more capable than other family members to help you gain back a footing. I can even give you space for few days to be obsessed with her like a kid so that you can try to force your mind to remember something but that’s it. Finally finding a face to the name that you have been searching for doesn’t give you any rights on her. Snap Out Of It!!!!! You can clearly see you were gone for long & that your ex-wife has moved on in life. She has a husband with whom she’s happy.
To think that person was your wife would cause some sort of disturbance in your mind, it can even hurt for a while But Dude, this sort of emotional upheaval isn't expected. Do not do this.
I cringed so bad when he was in Pallavi’s room (supposedly his old room). I couldn’t tolerate the bad vibes. Gosh, I had to hear the other beautiful recent ‘Tum Mere Ho’ to cleanse my mind of the scene that Raja gifted us with. Why do I call Mandaar, Raja. Cos that’s who he’ll be to me, not Mandaar.
Scene 6) Nothing can erase my mind of the beautiful serenity the scene bestowed us with Raghav looking completely mesmerized by his Lady Love while she walks down like a queen with the Dhadhak Track playing in the background.
‘Ek Duje ke liye hai, Neend meri, Khwab Tera
Jo Meri Manzilon ko Jaati Hai
Tere Naam ki Koi Sadak Hai Na
Jo Mere Dil ko Dil Banati Hai
Tere Naam ki Koi Dhadak Hai Na ‘
I loved how the the camera pans to focus just on them & everyone else turn to just background characters. They have eyes for only each other. The whole sequence was so well done by both of them, every time I play it, I just have one action to perform - Blush & Gush😳👏
What I didn’t like was - it was Pallavi who had made the gesture so that they can use it publicly and she was the first one to get nervous when applying it to practice.
Scene 7) Pallavi did the same thing she used to do at D-Nivas & I think many of us had pointed out then too - this isn’t how you function at a home. She again rushed out without really informing anyone what exactly happened that she needed to leave urgently.
As if within 2 mins, Raja would have hung himself from the ceiling fan (Kaash!🤪). Not to mention, she had Farhad right there. She could have taken him along but Nooo! She had to leave & she would tell everything once she comes back. My heart broke for Raghav when Sunny’s spewed words hit him hard🥺. Ofcourse! We can see in Precap that’s not the case but for how long? Pallavi still needs to learn about communication from her previous mistakes (Please, this isn’t a bashing post at all. She’s a human, she’ll do mistakes & learn from it. I didn't like the part of repetitive mistakes. And this isn't a bashing post. I’m just writing what I felt about the scene).
Scene 8) Precap - There’s Saazish (Fraud/Deceit) written all over this Raja. The DNA test will also be conducted by the same Doctor. I don’t think Raghav is so stupid to even consider the report. He’ll tear it & throw it in his face & I want to see this happening in that Round Round directed BTS that we have already seen.
Even Baba is like ‘Kya Drama Laga rakha hai, apna rishta apna haq - Yahan walon se toh matlab nahi hai. Jisse tujhse khud hi matlab nahi hai usske peeche paagal hua jaraha hai.’🤔
What I really liked about the Precap is Pallavi can see that she hurt Raghav by doing what she did today & this allows her to leave her reserved nature to proclaim she loves him directly. This scene will also help her keep Raghav's feelings in mind the next time she's being approached by D-Nivas for help in Mandaar's matter. Very much required for her growth👏
Scene 9) Ending with a positive point. Did you people notice that Pallavi had told Raghav once that he needs anger management classes cos he doesn’t know how to talk/behave when he’s furious. Cut to today’s scene of how he immediately calms down when Pallavi holds his arm. He listens to her reasons & doesn’t move ahead to break Sunny’s face as much as he wanted to👍🏼
-----------------------
There’re so many things I wanna write about Today’s Episode but I can see it has already turned into a big editorial & you people will definitely not get the time to read it (especially on a Sunday Afternoon🤣), so I would request you all to add in your points & your special scenes below so we continue having a good discussion here.
