Congrats to Pooja, SS, Amma and Above all Arhan for their brilliant acting !!!
Hats of to the director for his sensible direction !!
The scene opens with Amma getting hysterical and Pratigya narrating the sequence ....
On hearing everything Amma holds Pratigya responsible for Baba's haal , Pratigya is shocked to hear this accusation ..and SS too chips in and promises tears of blood if anything were to happen to krishna { SS stole it here, the way he starts with barely controlled helpless fury,his gradual rising of his voice and his immediate recollection of his surroundings and reducing the volume of his voice ..All so natural } ..This words does not have any effect on Pratigya, she already is so bereft of her confidence and is steeped in grief ..she tries to assure them "Nothing will happen to Krishna "[Is she trying to assure herself ] ..she is near breaking point ...but Amma is not mollified ..and is taking it on Pratigya ..just then Pratigya spies Sax's ..and runs calling "Papa, Papa" ...
KOmal rushes to her family..Amma grabs Komal's hands and says " Look Komal, you were supporting ur Babhi, but ur Bhabhi has pushed him to the edge and he is fighting for his life , she has destroyed everything "...Immediately Papa Springs to defense , he asks " How can you say this ? what is Pratigya's fault ??what has she done " ...and Amma's rapier thrust " ur daughter will not rest until she destroys everything ...she is taking her REVENGE ,SHE IS TAKING HER REVENGE OF HIS LOVE " [Now we know from where Komal got her unique ability to dive straight at the truth] ..the truth of Amma's statement is accepted by Sax'x in the form of quickly lowered eye from Nainaji, a few seconds of discomfiture by others and Pratigya turns away her face as if she has been slapped [Truth is bitter ]...
Amma further accuses Pratigya as being responsible for Krishna's condition , The Sax's are shocked [cant face one truth after other hitting them like tsunami ] Shakthi is completely in pain [ we see his tadap and his utter helplessness in seeing his younger bro fighting for his life...The Big bro cannot do anything and that frustrations and grief is shown in the brief clenching of his lips ....Awesome Jaswant]
Pratigya seeks solace in her father's arms...SS is standing like a banyan tree whose roots have been cut off ..Shakthi is silent but bowed by sadness...Nainaji moves in and consoles Pratigya ..on hearing this Amma breaks down even further and starts her lamenting ..Shakthi is unable to bear this and stalks off to TC and vents his pain and sorrow in the form of anger and promises retribution if anything were to happen to Baba[You know Jaswant is really handsome underneath that stubble !!😳😊.] ..
Treatment continues ..
Pratigya is watching thru the porthole..Shakthi has come back and SS is leaning on him[ The strong man of Allahabad has lost his strength and Shakthi silently bears his weight until SS regains his composure ].Amma Starts praying to God ..The sax goes one up..They go in front of KrishnaStatue [How Ironic ] , begin their bhajan with all sincerity they can muster..G.Dadi Joins them ,Kesar is prevented from joining by Amma..Bhajan Concludes...Amma Utters one word .."Nautanki" ....[So true]The Ward door open and an angel in white comes out and instructs the ward boy to shift the patient to the Icu cos his condition is deteriorating rapidly..Pratigya is Appalled and she runs and confronts the nurse..and Nurse reiterates what she said previously ...everybody look on aghast !!
Amma has lost her reason and in grief does not spare Pratigya she accuses Pratigya"All this is happening bec of U, u have brougyt Baba to this condition,,,now will be satisfied if he stops breathing,,Murderer..you are the killer of your Husband ..Pratigya looks on unable to bear this but unable to contradict Amma too [ The way Amma utters the word Hathyayen..with so much venom, grief , pain and hatred...got goosepimples ]..Pratigya just moves to the ward and peeps thru the porthole..the ECG is going steady..A few FB Of Krishna in his deewanpan state by Pratigya..
The Doctor is resuscitating Krishna ..And suddenly Krishna stops Breathing. The Doc gives shock and Krishna's body jumps up like a spring {Arhan U re Priceless 👏👏]But the ECG shows FLATLINE !! KRISHNA IS DEAD !!😲😭..The doctor removes the electrodes, oxygen mask and moves in to cover his face when Pratigya hurries into the room and walks slowly and gazes very softly with all the love in the world at him...
She holds his hand , [unable to comprehend or unwilling to accept ]..All the others troop in and look on shocked ..she asks Doc.."What happened??" ...The Doc looks at her quietly.. SS is bowed in sorrow, shakthi's hand supports him from Back ..Pratigya refuses to accept the truth..she holds Krishna's face and goes on in a gentle pleading tone, She Say"U cannot leave me alone, Get up Krishna ,Get up Krishna[ in such a cajoling voice that would melt ur heart by its despair]..immediately she strikes a cheerful voice..she says "see who has come , bauji, amma , Komal ,All of them have come to fetch you and the voice slowly breaks down and continues saying....U love me , don't you ,then get up and talk to me..u have to live for ur love...don't punish me so..I cant live without you "....SS has broken down completely..Pratigya has begun to cry despondently ...but then a sort of frenzy overtakes her and in a frenzied voice mingled with rage and utter desolation...she begins to scream out asking him to get up, I will not let u go...after a while the frenzy dies down and she collapses on Krishna's chest ...Krishna swallows ..and ECG comes Alive...Krishna Begins to breath ..The Doc sends everyone out and continues the treatment..
Pratigya is outside guarding the ward like a warrior who will not allow death to cross the threshold and hover anywhere near her Husband...G.Dadi comes near Pratigya and salutes her and says you have brought back Krishna from death..Shakthi looks as if he is unable to believe his eyes, the sax's are happy ...G.Dadi Blesses Pratigya ...Amma is wondering why this is all happening..why is Krishna punished for our sins ....Pratigya comes near Amma and consoles Amma ...and says nothing will happen to Krishna..Please stop crying..and then She moves to bauji and consoles him and tries to comfort him ...the action by SS at this point is commendable, the grief kept in abeyance and hidden can only be glimpsed when he throws his hand in despair ....and Finally Pratigya moves to her Papa and seeks his reassurance that Nothing will happen to Krishna na ...And Papa will assure her .....
The last segment belonged to Pooja..the way her voice changes from disbelief to pain to guilt, to desolation to wretchedness,to frenzy ...simply superb ....👏👏👏
we live to see another day..so what thunderstorm is reserved for Tomorrow ??
