Sunday 5th February 2012:-

1)The episode starts again with Rishi Daditchi telling Devi Sati that all her problems will be solved once she reaccepts what is rightfully hers, and that all her answers are there in the Shivling.

I absolutely love the man playing Rishi Daditchi, I think he delivered his dialogues so beautifully and it was nice to see his interaction with Mouni. I have come across people who don't find Mouni very convicing in her role as Sati but I will talk about that in a moment.

Here I have to say the beauty of the scene was seeing Sati touch the Shivling and having the simple clarity by seeing Ardhanareshwar roop that she and Shiva are one not seperate. It was like she had accomplished everything she had set to get even if she wasn't with Shiva yet.

The simplicty in the scene was that Sati felt complete and that she knew what she had been born for. It was like a moment where everything seemed to fit into place and Mouni's expression of surprise and happiness was just so amazing and beautiful. She really does emote so well.

2) Shiva and Brahma meeting in Kailash. This was my favourite scene in the episode because it was just so well acted by both actors.

Mohit Raina is so perfect in the way he speaks and acts and just everything about him is seriously so captivating. I remember even in Bandini days he had this quality of acting expectionally well but it just seems 100% more intense than before.
An example of his elegance and effortlessness is even shown in the simple way he slow opens his eyes or when he gently smiles. It is must be hard and yes he is a actor but he really has got a great understanding of the character and is just so captivating that I could watch him alone on-screen all day.

The scene was so beautiful because we had Brahma trying to explain to Shiva something, and I loved how whilst Brahma spoke Shiva just listened without intereprution. I mean, he already knew what was being narrated to him yet he listened and heard everything and then gave his answer.

Brahma felt in fault of his son's actions then asks Shiva not to blame Sati for what had happened and I wondered how tangled this had become? I still don't understand why Prajpati Daksh hated Shiva so much and even if it was something to do with the insult of Brahma then why ask Maa Shakti to give boon of being born to his house in order to re-unite with Shiva? I didn't understand why Daksh was being so stubborn and ignoring this truth? Had hatred really done this to him? I don't know why but if Daksh knew that Sati & Shiva belonged together then why come between that? Surely he would know that the more he tried to seperate them, the more they would come together?

Going back on the scene, again more praises for Mohit Raina who was just mindblowing in his dialogue delievry. Personally I was very sceptical about how Mohit would live up to previous portrayal's of Shiva especially that of Jai Samar Singh who has played Shiva various times in numerous shows and had always been excellent in the way he spoke with such charisma but I am won over by Mohit whose voice is very soothing to hear, it's almost melidious. He has so much conviction in the way he speaks that compels the viewer to believe in the character.

The way Shiva told Brahma that once seperated nothing can come together, was so emotional and heartbreaking. Here for the first time you see a sense of lonliness and pain from Shiva which for the most time had been hidden. Yes, we saw scenes where Shiva told Sati to go back and the Shamshan scene where Shiva is crying but here for the first time we have Shiva actually making it known how painful this is for him and that he also knows that being seperated from Shakti was the worst thing that had ever happened and it had taken him so long to accept and for that to happen he again which he knew would happen as she keeps repeating being Mahakaal and also that Sati is now human. It just makes sense why Shiva was repeatedly trying to keep himself detached from Sati. I think it is so beautiful how we as an audience can see this side of Shiva now. I agree that the contents of the show may not be accurate but here we are getting a view that Shiva went through such emotions.

3) Sati-Madanike scene.

Here I want to praise Mouni and reason with the people who dislike her characterisation of Sati. [This is not towards anyone part of this forum, just loads of people I have spoken to who don't like how Sati is being shown] If you watch this scene, you see a simplicity and naivety about her that seems true for the character. I know others will disagree but as far as I believe is that here is a person who was pampered and raised as a princess by her father who dispite educating in her many areas of rituals and culture he kept her unaware of many other aspects of life. She was even kept unaware of Daksh's hatred for Shiva because Daksh wanted to protect and keep her sheltered, and now everyone expects Sati to be someone who has the knowledge of the world because she is in love with Shiva? How is that possible? She is still the same person, yes she has fallen in love but nothing else has changed.
She is still the same simple, naive and sheltered daughter of Daksh regardless of who she is in actual even Shiva agrees she is Shakti but here she is a human form Sati who is complying with human rules.

Back to the scene- Sati is elated by her revelation and Mouni has amazingly brought out this emotion of happiness, love, realisation, hope and this is further enhanced by Rakshanda's acting of Madanike who is like any friend who knows a secret would react. The acting of the two women is sensation, and with the Nritya-Tandav happening in the next episode- Madanike's days are limited hence the scenes between her and Sati. I do hope they have scenes after Shiva accepts Sati as I do feel Madanike is an important character who along with Rishi Daditchi did make Sati realises what the true meaning of her being is.

The scene where Madanike blessed her simple Sati was extremely touching and heartfelt.
