Something I have noticed in the past few episodes...
That they make sense when seen in continuation.
I somewhat liked today's episode.
Sada was so good. His hurt, pain was emoted so well. Also good was Sai. Didn't have much dialogues but her face showed everything.
I don't like V in this track but I didn't find him wrong today.
First off he knows Sada, still treats him as a friend, wants him to surrender peacefully. Hence when Sada threatens V of his men ra**ing Sai, he gets angry but doesn't react much because somewhere he knows that Sada won't do this.
He is the first to notice the landmine when Sai is running to him and his concern is to keep her safe. In a typical old SaiRat fashion, he gets irritated at her when she says main aa jaungi aap bataiye ki landmine kaisa dikhta hai.
Hence when the first mine blasts today, V realises that Sada will go ahead with his threat of hurting Sai and also that they are not fake. His instinctive reaction is to run to her but Shruti stops him and though he shrugs off her hand, he stops because the combined weight of both of them would definitely mean a blast.
His taunt is not veiled at all but he will still protect Sai. That's his primary motive. Shruti is a spanner in the works. And he is right now working as Shrutis lawyer against her husband by telling him that she doesn't want this life anymore.
V having a epiphany of the sorts when Sada says that Sai loves him so much, Sai's nod at this and then seeing her trying to walk inspite of him asking not to.... Neil did better than previous episodes. There was a flicker in his eyes for few seconds. I hope he does realise that it means Sai does love him.
As for Sai, she is absorbing everything and I hope she will reflect on Sadas words. For her V is still important but now since it seems that V is hurt and Shruti will not let her meet him, I hope Sai backtracks in confession. She will assume the same approach she did with PP and keep her distance from V. V should then realise that she does love him and work on getting her back.
Shruti is despicable. She sees Sadas pain but now accustomed to the comforts of city life wants to keep V in her life. She could have convinced Sada to surrender and make a better life for all of them but no. . I never thought PP would look better but she does in comparison.
