Hey guys! đ
Okay, I'm doing this after what feels like a century...and there are so many new faces here that I'm quite nervy, and excited at the same time...so without further ado, here's my two cents on the phenomena that was tonight's episode of Dill Mill Gayye...đ
I've been watching this show for more than two years now, and I can tell you for a fact that it has never been poised on a razor that has as sharp an edge as this one...on one side, we have Sid...wandering around an empty house and ambling along silent, windy alleys, wondering where his own fate is headed along with Riddhima's...on the other side, we have Armaan...back from the by-lanes of a fairytale past, and one single revelation away from a shattering present...and centre stage is Riddhima...facing two roads, and not knowing, for the life of her, which one she should take...but that decision comes later...first, there's the shock and pain...and by the looks of it, it'll take a while to process...
Following from that, what was for me by far the best scene of the episode, simultaneously heartwarming and heartwrenching...when Armaan and Riddhima finally stand face to face, and neither can contain what's raging inside...special mention here to Armaan...KSG, that is...if for nothing else, that scene was worth watching just for the expression on his face...you can't just see what Armaan is going through...you can feel it...full credit for that to him...the way he touches her face, the way he enfolds her in his arms and closes his eyes like he's found his lifeblood and is never going to let it go...sigh...and then there's Riddhima...Jen was fabulous here too...not gushing, or hysterical, but stunned...barely believeing what's standing right before her...and then when he touches her, she closes her eyes...this is real...and she can't contain herself...but then she sees a reminder of her own present...and does the only thing she can possibly do at this moment...run...run from her past, run from her present, run from the choice she's going to have to make one day...and then hide...within the confines of the four walls that will ask her no questions...KW as Sid was great too...waiting for her to return with the verdict...and then, finding no answer to the questions plaguing his mind, wondering what's happening...đ¤
Felt sad for all three today, but somehow saddest for Armaan, simply because he's the one who's least aware of the reality that now surrounds him...first, to watch Riddhima run away from him without a single word...and then, having to hear her tell him to leave her alone...he understands why she's angry, and yet, he doesn't...and it's hurting him already...all three of them are hurting, and the one person for whom the most shattering moment is yet to arrive, is Armaan...I'm just wondering what it'll be like when he knows about Sid and Ridz...and I sure as heck hope it doesn't take too long...for all three of their sakes...for Armaan particularly because the longer he sees Riddhima behave like this, the more confused he'll be, and the more he'll panic...and it isn't fair on either of them, to prolong the pain...
On the whole, it could have been a little faster, but then going by the rate at which the whole of last week has been crawling, today was a lightening bolt in more ways than one...and as painful as it is, DMG's also standing at its nervewracking best, at least for me...characters, I could go into right now...but I can hardly bring myself to budge from the midst of raging and overwhelming emotions that were at the very heart of tonight's episode...so I think I'll leave it at that for now...
Waiting to see how things go from here...another round of applause for KW, KSG and Jen...and a near-implausible hope that things'll move at a slightly faster pace now that the first moment of recognition has passed...at this point, Riddhima stands before two roads diverging in a wood...will she coose the path less trodden? Let's see, let's see...
Cheers! đ
P.S. To pre-empt any unpleasantness, this is purely a post to express what I felt about tonight's episode...if you do not agree, I have absolutely no problem...write in with your views, but please do NOT bash any actor/actress/character to make your point...this is meant to be a healthy post, and I'd like it to remain one...
P.P.S. Ani and Doc...you're what made me do this after sooo long...so this one's for you guys...!! đ¤
