And I hope you all had a happy shappy Uttarayan, or Pongal or Lohri or anyother festival you celebrate😃
And today comes in the recycled Chunar...The factory women are such copy cats..They must have seen the chunar worn by Gulaal in the Krishna Leela and made it...Gulaal's clothes were so much in vogue that Gulaal herself wore them innumerable times and ofcourse Then The terrorist too😡
Anyways...So, we have terrorist literally dancing on Kesar's head...and how come these women conveniently forgot that Kesar is married and started matchmaking😕 Not their fault I tell you...the way Kesar was roaming around with her on bike in the village...anybody would be mega confused..Kesuda you so deserved it😡...Apni biwi ko jalaane chala tha...khud hi burning beauty ho gaya😆
By the way, this is also probably the last time we would see Kesar working in the factory...we would find him near by during those rumours about Dushty and Gulaal...but working Kesar toh we wont find...He becomes really busy as a house husband na?? Sheher jaake pata nahi college mein padh ke aaya hai ya Sanjeev Kapoor ke under training leke...
I so wished that CVs had shown Kesar's mind going into flashbacks and seeing Gulaal in a similar (Well we know same to same...but still ...we would have been satisfied by 'similar' too😛) dress, years back..and thinking about getting the same for her...
We know at that time it was a ala grand secret that who is getting the chunar for??? but it was revealed the very next day na??? So it wouldn't have been a big deal had they done so immediately... but alas...we got to see the shy why face of the bandariya shoved into our face and the ladies murmuring about her being 'the Special'🤢...
Anyways...so the whole Karkhaana scene skip...Me directly entering Kesuda's room😳...and Gullu doing the Safai...and gets hold of the letters...
I even said it before...Gulllu was one smart girl with major lapses when Talli's atma took over...I mean she has the letter in her hands...yet could not detect his feelings...and JK...without even laying her eyes on the letters knew that they were written for Gulaal😆...I tell you...she was one misunderstood woman married to one big idiot😆
Naturally the combination would breed Ramu and Dushty😆
Chalo chalo bahot masti ho gai...
We come to the scene of the epi...
It is like a 2 min scene..but it makes you want to take Kesar in your arms and say 'there there...the dark dark night is over now...you need not be afraid anymore'...
The scene makes you feel for both of them so much...right from the time Gulaal enters and wipes the dust off Vasant and Kesar's photo...Ironical na..it is Vasant's marriage photograph where Kesuda has captured the front seat...😆 you can see the happy tears in her eyes...
Even when she finds the letter..she is so happy...that happiness as if wanting to come out..but some fear in the deepest recesses of her mind refuses to be freely happy...Again funny how it was Kesar who had made her tread her way to happiness with so much of apprehension...and later it was he who pushed her off the cliff..so that she can fly...unbounden as Gulaal...
Manasi's expressions are so spot on..as her heart blossoms at the thought that Kesar had written her letters...and she was not the only one hankering for him..only if she knew how much he had sufferred on that side...I think she had a fair idea until the brat came back and misbehaved badly...after that every thought of him remembering her vanished...but the letters brought that small ray of hope...and she is happy...
and in comes the brat to take the letter from her...he so cannot lie...and that too in front of her...I actually laughed when he first securely put that letter inside his pocket and then turned to talk to her...it was as if he did not trust himself this tiny winy bit when around her..
Oh I love that expression when he gets caught as Gulaal calls his bluff and tells him that how come when he forgot to post, he has kept it for all these years...he is so sweet...the guy doesnot even deny it..he simply admits it by asking how did she know that it had been written years back...
And Gulaal...I tell you...mega loss of brains is Gulaal...such brilliant mind...within a span of few seconds she could detect that this was written years back...but with all the stares and glares and pulls and push, she could not detect his grown up feeling towards her...
and he actually is so astonished at that...and I love how he sits down...half sulking...and half as if weak on the knees ...his agitation ...his heavy breath...'idhar udhar ki baatein'...Gulaal sees through his idhar udhar ki baatein..and zooms right in...asking him he was very angry na???
And boy...he looks up...Somehow that lip movement of his always catches my eyes..as if preventing a sob from coming out...but he cannot prevent tears by that gesture na...
the way he looks at her...is almost accusing long with disarming...
The vulnerability on his face...as if a window to his heart...which has been battered by crying all this years...
And your heart breaks when he says it...'Dus Saal...purey Dus saal tuney mujhe apne se alag rakha Gulaal!'...
There is so much of emotions, hurt,anger, behind those words and it is such a heartfelt way of saying it...
He did not say that you stayed away from me all these years..he did not say that you sent me away...he did not say I was away from you all these years...nor we were separated all these years...
He almost blames her and also acknowledges her pain in the same sentence..
that she kept him away from her...
as if he was a part of her and she segregated him...
Cutting her own self...
and for this they both sufferred...all these years...
And Gulaal as if suddenly realizes this...the hurt with which he lived ...
And not once she defends herself..saying that it was he who refused to meet her...
It is such a silent acknowledgment on both their sides...10 years of separation finally getting its due in these two seconds of eyelock...
*sigh* ...Where do I get these two
