* I officially declare Kesar incapable of being mad at Gulaal. Like honestly! He's upset about the way his actions have been deemed, but upset enough to not sneak smiles to himself at the food, or turn down Gulaal's offer to give him more sabzi? Naah! Upset enough to not let her give him dessert aka gur uh, yeh... just for a while (and no I'm not trying to be cheesy annoying by using the word dessert. I really did think of how he let's her give him veggies but not Gur ... even though there was no underlying meaning to it, the irony was curious 😆) Anyway, even when he doesn't let her give him gur, he does explain why - geez, he just can't sort of walk out on her leaving her rejected. He has to tell her he's not upset with her, but with his own futile attempts in never getting anything right. On that note, I love how he tells her he has always exerted haq over her - but it's been always. And I like how even though he's framing himself for the blame of over stepping daayre it is obvious to both that its not him but Gulaal who has changed the conditions of their equation, and he's just lagged on catching up with her 'new rules'. Anyway - no he's not playing the guilt card on her, but it works like that anyway. But what must be noted is the fact, again, that he can't just brush her off and walk away, even in 'avoidance' mode. Finally of course, the tuntuna 😆 Oh how I love the way he tries to be wary and exasperated at her harkat but only ends up with a grudging and inevitable sneaking smile (second time) That scene is SO awesome! Reemz - I was watching it and thinking of your hope for romantic scenes - here they come dude! This is the classic GK romance I was talking about. They just do their own thang and make you go all aww at them, without striving to be 'hawt' 😎 Seriously, I can't gush enough over that scene - especially the bit where he's fighting his reaction, but his own smile is as spoiled as Gullu herself, refusing to be snubbed, and wont let him be in peace 😆 Of course, the 'music lessons' further the romance (special mention to Kesar telling Gulaal to not play it if she doesn't know - lol, I thought she wasn't so bad man! But maybe I was just too busy fawning over Kesar's sneaky smile ☺️ ) She totally stunned him for s second by adding her vocals didn't she?! I also like how the CVs at this point don't depict an admiring or catch in a trance Kesar, but still one who is at least striving to keep the 'distance' even if he's too much a softie to succeed long enough! I also like how although Gulaal is only expressing her apology yet another time, she actually adds more substance to it, like she can sense he's relenting and she knows her extra push will put things back on track. That's the thing about Gulaal - she's always so sure of herself. When she's wrong, and when she's right. Anyway, the candid dialog to set things right is good - not dragged, not dramatic, but hits bull's eye. Expressions and acting - as always bang on. Especially when he finally makes to take her hand, that smile through his tears... aww! Btw, has everyone noticed as much as me how his longer hair have been more tamed since yesterday? All this while that he was to 'stay away' he combed them a little too much. Then by the final showdown scene at Kunal's house, they were again sticking out in true Kesar element 😆 It was like even his hair were supposed to downplay the mood 😆
okay moving on...
* Wohooo Dushy! You smell a rat don't cha man?! Finally, someone who owns a brain in that big house! Actually, it's not just the brain, but that common evil vein that the brothers have shared in the past. I suppose having been the Dushyant that he once was, even his reform doesn't take away that instinct to spot trouble. He was the one to question Raman's delay yesterday, he was the one to question Raman to his face, and ofc, he was the one not disturbed but dubious of Raman backing out from the Shagun party. Dushyant has caught a whiff - which goes on to indicate potential for the Dulli angle, but even not that, it still will play in part in Vasant murder showdown. I think for now I like the fact that it's Dushyant on the trail. Of all the people in that house, if anyone can catch the plan before its too late - its him.
* Raman's plan. So here's my guesswork. Raman has set his commission with Kunal's family. They are going to drive the Talsagra family to their limit of no other option or way, and then Raman gets his money out of the deal ofc. I'm not sure how it jeopardizes the wedding chance itself - but its interesting how Raman has played the dual game ... bringing to event the Talli and Kunal meeting, which all by itself can be blown far far out of proportion if and when need be in an orthodox village set up, specially given Talli's record of broken weddings. At the same time, he's playing his trump with convincing the members of that house for the money demand. When Kunal's mother said there was not much wajah to reject the new proposal, she was setting bait to be offered better dowry, ofc. Kesar is naturally going to be all out against this match. I'd expect MB to be as much. But honestly, if the whole family, especially Talli give their consent (something that Raman is constantly working on) I think MB will give in, and Kesar will just have to concede. Does anyone see a Kesar Kunal confronting chat coming up? Interestingly, Kesar does trust Kunal tons. He was pretty okay about Talli meeting the guy and getting a gift. Gulaal was pricked by the idea of a 'secret rendezvous', and rightfully. Notice also, how Kesar trusts the event because it is under Raman's eye. Some big trust walls are going to be ripped soon enough! Including, ahem, JK and Sudha's!
* Talli was/is/will remain an eye sore. And I have virtually delivered a kick in the shins to Gulaal (not Mansi) for detecting the lurking pink and calling Talli inside. Can she seriously never tell that ridiculous killjoy to buzz off?! Like ever! Can she not even just pretend she hasn't seen her - oh the annoyance! Talli's prompt Kunal ne diya hai was so totally a bait for Kesar - dude! what is she playing at - annoying little pesk! I was so proud of how Kesar dealt his teasers back, attaboy! Not that I trust the message Kesar is happy I'm with Kunal to penetrate Talli's thick skull anytime soon! She is walking danger in that house. Undeniably! I hope we wont see Kunal and Talli marry against his parents' wishes and come to live in Talsagra home 🤢 Okay, I know that was random, she's just annoying, and her angle keeps complicating evident scenes all the time. I don't understand her interference. She even teases Kesar (not Gulaal ofc) about needing privacy for the call - which oh btw, she's only going to cut! When Kunal tells himself he's more worried than her for their future, I almost just for a second pity and empathize... then I remember how brainless he is to be smitten by this pretend-dumb crying chit of a girl, and I remember his shayari to appease her, and I can't sympathize anymore with him, duh!) Kesar's get's a gold medal in wit and liners for pronouncing Talli the bad bola nagada 😆 Oh and, although this is a point for Talli, I can't but add what peace it gives me to watch Gulaal break off into peels of laughter at that. GK together, and laughing. I can almost ignore Talli in that picture - almost. It's heartening to see what Kesar has finally accomplished for Gulaal's good. He has revived if not entirely then at least significantly the elemental Gulaal who was lost in the sands of time. She is up on her toes, playful, and smiling, making jokes, cajoling and pampering - and hold your breath - not patronizing?! Did you notice that?! Not for a second since yesterday has Gulaal donned her 'patronizing mode' as from when Kesar extended the hand in friendship. I think her realization of wrong footing has subconsciously given Kesar a higher pedestal in her head... she's made such a grave error in misunderstanding, that she just can't, even unknowingly, treat him as 'the kid'. Oh relief!
All in all - the episode moves many tracks forward. GK were a delight. Talli needs to take a holiday for our sake. I want to see more of JK and Dushyant when it's not GK - not Raman and Sudha and Talli and Kunal please! The precap has potential. Dushyant is not going to be so gullible. I have an intuition he's going to bring his secret spies to action. He had better! And that does show some hope for Dulli - Dushyant is far too involved in this scene to just be accomplishing mass good. Just maybe, Kesar and Dushyant will bond over this crisis. Perhaps that will be setting up counter stage for when they come to the Vasant confrontation, and how then, Kesar standing against Dushyant becomes all the more drama... Let's see?!
