Angad-Kripa Ignited/ Return to me.
Hi there,
So, what's up with you people? I am eternally grateful to everybody for taking out time from preparations of Angad-Kripa's wedding next month and coming here to read my analysis. Sigh! It's a beautiful world if you forget all about the thorns.
The pointers come first, right?
- Today, we practically saw all shades of Angad. Zeb has stepped back and SteamRoller Sensitive Angad is grooving right now. Watch him turn all shades of Angad today…..caustic-to-mischievous-to-ruthless-to-loving Angad. Infact, today's episode and tomorrow's preview reminded me of a famous song by Shania Twain and the lyrics fit Angad perfectly. It goes…"I am gonna get you while I have got you in sight, I am gonna get you even if takes all night….so, don't try and run, honey, love can be fun, I am gonna get you good."…..he wants Kripa back and I guess he knows exactly what to do.
- The 5 minutes dance sequence shot for the post-engagement party was actually good. Everybody- Angad, Kripa, Mishty, Prithvi, Manek and AniTTTah dances well. The whole cast seemed to be enjoying it . I liked the ambience of the hall, it was very tastefully done and looked good instead of ending up looking garish.
The episode was a 6.5/10 . On to the episode…..
So, cocky swaggering Zeb is still standing at the entrance , enjoying Kripa's agony every bit but as Taniya had said last week, not totally untouched by the ironic pain of the whole situation. Kripa wants to run away from there having placed the "tilak" on Zeb's forhead. Damini Aunty ( saccharine sweet and genuinely so) stops Kripa and says that she is supposed to put Shagun-Ka-Sikka in his hand as well.Automatic Slapping Machines for Kripa from all sides…..Zeb senses her discomfiture and smiles or rather grins at her with sad sarcasm. Kripa is jittery already , wanted to run way to fetch Mishty but poor kid is stopped by Damini Aunty…..shaken, she puts forward her hand to take "Shagun-Ka-Sikka"….and drops it! This is a signal to the viewers that Angad will be taking home his original bride-Kripa. Damini Aunty is upset but Zeb, being Zeb tells her to cool it off…and looking pointedly at Kripa says that no matter what happens, his happiness is safe from all evil eyes…..OUCCHH! Kripa, should I send an Armada to protect you? As if all this sophisticated humiliation wasn't enough, he tells Kripa that Mishty is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen…yeah, more beautiful than Kripa. Shooting a conceited look at sunken mango Kripa, he brushes past her to Roo-Roo-Roo with Mishty. Mishty looked beautiful by the way. Kripa? Well, the pretty girl looks only "Angadian" these days, got it dudes and dudettes?
Then, came the dance session on popular Bollywood numbers…..it was a colossal MTNL advertisement as we had all wrong numbers dancing with each-other (except AniTTTah and Manek)…but yeah, the right numbers also connected once in a while.It was good overall, nice choreography, better dancing, cool coordination. Even here, the original love-birds couldn't keep away from each-other. Those who saw will know what I am talking about.By the way, Kripa who was playing "Catch-me-if-you-can" with AniTTTah all around the hall found just one man to bump into….Zeb. Ahem, ahem, ahem, well, honey, what do I say to that?
SCENE OF THE DAY FOLLOWS:
It seems that Angad wasn't too happy to see his darling Kripa playing "Ringa-Ringa-Roses" with Prithvi during the dance-session . So, Steamroller Angad comes to the surface and he barges into Kripa's room sometime later….and locks it! Shades of old Angad and how! Kripa is astounded to see Angad in her bedroom and his intentions didn't look very honourable to me. Kripa often reminds me of a Tiger Cub in front of Raging Lion Angad. She gets her senses back and asks Angad that what is he doing in her bedroom of all the places in this world? SURPRISE!......Angad springs to action and very casually ( actually it was not-so-casual, get it?) taking her fair arm tells her that he wanted to compliment her…she looked beautiful. Kripa realizes the rising mercury and tries to get defensive….this only aggravates Angad's passion and anger…catching hold of her ( a case of extreme Toucharia actually, what say, AK4?)….he breathes all the pain and frustration in her face…..lashes at her for ruining his life, for putting him through unbearable agony of body, heart, soul, mind and spirit……for mailing his life to dark dungeons….pain arises to the surface and he tells her that she is not his Kripa, she has changed and he doesn't feel the same when he touches her (LIAR!LIAR!LIAR!)…and his hatred for his own self for having loved her beyond anything finds vent in his furious volcano that erupts on Kripa. Kripa? Well, the girl was zapped in his eyes, was speechless and tried to free herself in vain…as for me, I was fanning my TV!
Prithvi makes way into this electrosphere but I guess Angad got merciful with Kripa and veiled himself behind a curtain (nice curtain, what material was that?).Prithvi comes inside the room and as Angad stands veiled, Kripa is still recovering from his effect. She tells Prithvi that she left the party to straighten her dupatta ( Umm….wasn't something exactly opposite happening a few minutes ago?).Prithvi feels sorry about his earlier behaviour with Kripa and to Kripa's utter agony and hurtful embarrassment , he unknowingly reveals to Angad that Kripa still belongs to Angad! Poor Kripa, her expression was like ," Shut up, Prithvi! Shut up, Prithvi! Shut up, Prithvi!...you are going to make me look like a vulnerable loveatic in front of Angad!". Prithvi , having mended the bitter exchange with Kripa, walks out followed by Kripa who stands at the door…knowing fully well, that all her defenses have been ripped apart and she stands vulnerable in front of Angad…as vulnerable as ever. Angad? Well, he is shocked and moved to tears as the reality of Kripa's weird but true undying love for him dawns upon him. He comes out and their eyes meet…….twinge of pain and a zillion questions make a silent conversation. Kripa almost runs away and Angad, still recovering from the shock makes the door a victim of his pain (Umm, now, where's the Furniture Rights Commission?).
Angad stands in a corner, fighting the throbbing questions in his head as to why did Kripa marry Prithvi at all if she still loves Angad to such depth? With a soulful love-tale ballad playing in the background, he relives all the moments spent with Kripa in the past…I was sighing throughout…..Life-Rewind can be really touching. Kripa? Oh, that beautiful kid was moving around the house with Angad stamped all over her…actually looked like a love-lorn visitor in an art-gallery.Angad does try and confront her…IGNITION ON FOR 10 MINUTES, first in the bedroom and now in the art-gallery ( looked like that)…Kripa is too overcome with pained emotions and tells him that all these questions don't matter. She frees her arm and they both walk down the stairs……
SURPRISE! A stern-looking Police Inspector alongwith constables arrives at the party to decorate it with his personal 20 moons. To everybody's surprise (Amal and Reepsoo! Stop rubbing your hands in glee), Prithvi is arrested with allegations of having underworld links in Dubai…all jaws hang 66 inches below the cute chins…and Angad-Kripa can't behave themselves here either…another silent conversation-cum-eye-contact. Kripa tries to defend Prithvi as do Manek and Damini but he is arrested nevertheless. Prithvi goes with the police with dignity, I must say. Manek , Prithvi Troll-Buddy-in-crime later tells Kripa that the concert they did in Dubai had money sponsored from the underworld and they'll have to move earth to get Prithvi bailed out of this soup. Damini, Mishty and Zeb are waiting at home. Kripa is depressed and tells them that Prithvi is in big trouble. Damini, cool Saasu-Ma( do give tips to Naina Aunty for future) goes to get water for Kripa.Angad consoles Mishty who places her head on his shoulder and worries about Prithvi…actually, all those touching words and balm encouragement was meant for Kripa…who is so moved by Angad's concern that tears find way down her pink cheeks even as Angad's eyes are fixed on her……..Love! What are you? Who are you?GOD alone knows.
Tomorrow's preview makes it clear that none other than Angad has booked a luxurious cruise for Prithvi that stops in prison…as we see him burning documents and telling somebody on the phone that all proofs should be erased……motive clear…..He wants Kripa back and he will get her back….as I said, be it Angad or Kripa, it's written all over them…."RETURN-TO-ME."
