Abhay V/s. Abhayendra & Om Shaanti Om
Hello ppz!
Okay, there is not much to update today , nor to comment upon- but to feel for sure. It was one long sequence which was not about ChaandEena or Piya. It was about the meeting of past and present , history repeating itself and life coming a full circle for Abhay with fate giving him one more chance to save the one he loves. The Abhayendra who is buried in history pushed Abhay to go into the fire and save the woman he loves.
Abhayendra told Abhay to just get up and save Piya from the flames even if it means revealing the monster in him.
Abhay – She will hate the very sight of me.
Abhayendra – Big deal. So what if she will hate you? At least she will live.
And thus , brushing away Abhay's momentary fear of losing Piya to his own identity – his vampire identity, Abhayendra pushed Abhay into the flames. It was a test for Abhay and he shone through. There he stood in front of Piya , every inch , a monster. Not conscious of how shocked and numbed she looked. It was about saving her and he did it. The man in him who died 200 years ago prepared him for the worst. It was about choosing between Piya and Piya's picture of a M&B Love story. He chose Piya.
As for Piya, well, I believe that if the girl had the guts and insanity to set herself afire for Abhay – then, no matter how much the basic human fears pull her back , all roads will send her running back to Abhay. Long back , there was another Balaji serial – Kkusum which had some sheer brilliance in writing , especially in dialogues. And during those days, the protagonist Kkusum had said something that I will put down in English here –'coz it applies to Piya and her situation :
" You should never test anyone in love. They may trip and fall in a moment of weakness. That is a failure of strength, not the failure of feelings. Just because someone falters at that moment of testing in fire doesn't mean they are dishonest in their love for you."
Anyway, nothing much to say on the Abhay-Maithli FB except that it was very disturbing and just as tragic as all other scenes of that unfinished love saga. Piya actually put Abhay through so much of hell today but then as she said " This is for you, Abhay." So, I just let it pass.
Oh , and Om Shaanti Om? Well, the whole sequence reminded me of the entire fire in the studio sequence with SRK-Deepika in OSO. It is one of the best shot fire sequences ever in the history of Indian Cinema . Not to forget SRK-Deepika were stupendous in that scene. Deepika , to me was the best in that scene and I never saw that spark in her again. Maithli screaming for help takes you back to that devastating shot in OSO where a horrified and hysterical Shantipriya is ramming her hands against the glass peep of the studio door. Amazingly shot and enacted. Infact , that scene is the only thing that haunts you after the film is over. Today's PKYEK episode was in a way a tribute to that fire scene , whether the writers and directors admit it or not.
ChaandEena? Well, monsters on duty and they are doing what is in their nature to do. 😆
P.S- Strange but Sukirti's expressions as Metz were spot on but she was not all that convincing as Piya- "Something" was missing. No offence.
Love and luck always,❤️
GOD bless everyone. 🤗
