The trick is to keep breathing. We're almost there đ
Just wanted to share my thoughts on today's episode.
I've to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about watching it, because the recent episodes had me so disappointed and upset. But when I heard about the "infamous phone call" finally happening, I couldn't stop myself from peeking just once. I ended up watching the episode twice.
Pros:
- In this episode, Kala took the words "cunning beep" to a whole other level. I'm proud of her. She was in character today. The whole psychological torture that she did on Naku had me cursing her all the way to Hell. Loved the scene where she swung the mangalsutra in front of Naku's face in that totally mocking gesture of hers that made me want to grab her hair and drag her across the room, caveman-style. More of that, please. The psychological torturing methods, that is.
- Naku's dialogue: "I've been through so many trials. Don't put me through this one." Brilliant. That had me in tears. Her voice was just so pleading. The way she fell to the ground and completely shut off from everything happening around her reminded me of her first wedding with Dutta - after having tried to convince everyone that she wasn't guilty of any crime for the umpteenth time, she simply gave up and let Dutta drag her around the fire.
- Kala's dialogues to Baji? She might've as well ripped his heart out and chewed it. Her words hit him hard. She knows people's weaknesses and she attacks them like the snake she is.
- FINALLY, the phone call scene. Gold. The pain in Dutta's voice and his dialogues were just so beautiful in every sense. Loved the silence between them and the unspoken need to be closer. It was obvious that they'd both reached the next level in their relationship. Now, if the wire had just been a magical transporting cable...
Cons:
- During the whole "remove her sindoor" scene, something was missing. The confrontation was not as intense as it could've been (should've been), and that disappointed me. I had expected Kala to grab Naku's hands and broken her bangles, or something, and Naku trying to release herself from her grasp. Point is, I'd expected some sort of struggle there before the "Kala removing her sindoor" part and everyone leaving.
- I was disappointed that the camera didn't zoom in on Naku's face when she pleaded with AS to not put her through this trial of removing her sindoor.
- Why on earth didn't the CVs/director or whoever involve the other characters in this scene? I mean, Kishore should've at least had a dialogue going something like: "Kala, I think that's enough," or "This isn't the right time..." Or whatever. But something. He should've said something. He has always stood up for Naku when she's been treated this way by Kala. What happened now? I also missed a stronger reaction from Baji, somehow.
- Did I imagine a girl named Madhu who was also Dutta's sister, or did she really exist? Because I didn't see her anywhere among the mourning crowd...
Basically, I think that this episode was alright. Time will tell if the CVs are on their way back to the right LTL track, or if they've strayed for good. But considering today's episode, I still have hope.
Oh, and Happy Phone Call Day, everyone đ
