IP REDUX; The dance of the Scorpion !!*updtd*

Updated:-

Tant, exquisite and exclusive analysis pertaining to the MU. Yup, as you have mentioned about the growing misunderstanding that started yesterday started to feel the heat but still with a filler episode, you did a fabulous job. It's purely TANTASTIC. 👏 👏 👏

When I first saw today's episode it looked like filler but yet it didn't look like filler. Interesting isn't it??? Yes, there are couples of reasons for that. Firstly, we still saw some glimpse of last week's track and we saw some glimpse of the track that began yesterday. But before I start my actual analysis, I just want to talk to the editing team and the creative team. I had applauded the creative team for changing the track and getting back to the main story line within 2 working days but today??? Why I see the old banked episodes along with the new shot ones??? Damn 4 Lions gear up??? Didn't you all learn the lesson last week??? Fine, I have given you the benefit of doubt yesterday but today, naaa I am not generous now. You had enough time to do that. I know the "Bali in Delhi" track was planned earlier and some scenes were shot also but at least you could have edited some scenes today and introduce some new scenes. Why the editing was so bad today??? Yeah for you many will not figure out but that doesn't give you the liberty to just make a hotch potch of the entire episode??? I know you had to reshot to fit in the story but then it was needed to do after the criticisms, so had given the BOD yesterday and not today. If yesterday was continuous bloopers then today it was complete random. I was literally thinking how you had massacred the story line and what was on your mind when you were designing post holi episodes??? The Changing seq in the room was shot new and that scene had no continuation in the bedroom scene was that at the last of the episode. Why??? See the randomness yourself??? Yesterday Khushi came back to character but today she started the OTT behavior. The last bedroom scene where Khushi made the taunt at Arnav when he tripped (that too after the aggressive dance number???) and her conversation at the dinner was an old shot seq, you could have deleted it or you could have extended the Payal-Aakash scene or included Shyaam where he would recollect the dance of Arnav 'Khushi and feel the jealousy and agony. Where was the continuation of Khushi's emotional turmoil between Monday's episode and some parts of today's episode???

I didn't like the "Rose greeting scene", well I understand that was needed but the expressions on Arnav and Shyaam clearly explained that it was shot earlier. No, don't get me wrong, that scene had a meaning and a very clear scene to create the MU but the expressions were of a continuation from last week's episode. Now you want to know how??? Well remember the track that the Creative team wanted to carry on where Shyaam's new agenda to convince Arnav that he is changing and eager to move on with his life with Anjali. Did you get that now??? Look at Abhaas there??? Look at his expressions??? When Arnav frowned at him then Shyaam was kind of saving himself from his grimace and gave him the convincing look that he is changing and since Anjali's fav is rose also. It looked kind of reminding him of their previous tryst. Now tell me 4 Lions, is the scene should be like that after Monday's episode??? A BIG NO. After the Pool fight sequence and Shyaam's trespassing into their area and Arnav-Shyaam faceoff, does in any way this scene looked like a continuation??? No. How can the editing team neglect this kind of important scene??? This scene was very important for Arnav to misread the equation between Shyaam and Khushi and increase his confusion. WOW. You guys seriously amaze me. In one scene that you shot to show Monday's continuation with Anjali advising the newlyweds to behave like normal couple for a day and in another scene you show old scrapped track. Wah wah. I salute your thought process. Pathetic.

I am giving you till Thursday to seriously start the continuation in the story line without any bloopers and bad editing. I hope the message is clear. I am not the one analyst who will go gaga on Arnav 'Khushi dance and find symbolisms in that. No. I always see the entire episode as a whole and how it logically fits in the storyline and a part of the entire series. For me the story is important and not one dance of vengeance is anything in front of that.

Talking of dance, Tant has explained it's entire minute details. So, I will not even get into that but will say that I figured this dance was supposed to be a Ball dance with the title track but 4 Lions have redesigned it this weekend and included Arnav's vengeful dance number with Khushi at the end to create the misunderstanding with intensity.Now this is the equation of the trio that I wanted in the "Rose Scene". Tell me now do you see Shyaam here to prove Arnav that he is changing??? No. See the dance sequences here??? Shyaam and Khushi are not facing each other but rather Arnav and Shyaam is facing each other. Hence, the MU increased in Arnav's mind which resulted his aggressive dance just to pass on the message to Shyaam ' "you see how will I crush her life and you can't do a thing about her". But did he really do that in the end??? No, the hug between Shyaam and Khushi triggered him to erupt like a volcano but at the end the lava of his emotions came out from it. Fantastic emotional rupture.

Before I start on the serious loops that tricked me today while watching the episode, which is the "5% message" IMO, I will take this opportunity to really applaud Barun Sobti for brilliantly performing the dance number. I can guess how much he practiced on it this weekend, as this dance was added later on. You really outdid yourself. Good job.

I loved these above 2 loops for I see they are merging when the truth and repentance will be disclosed to each other. As I said many a times, the moment Arnav will learn the truth, his repentance will start. That day he will leave the decision on to Khushi on whether she wants to stay at RM or not and he will simply abide by for that day even though Khushi will forgive him, he cannot forgive himself. I have always mentioned in Redux here that the "Terrace to Temple" loop will be closed with the confession and it will be from the "Middle of the Road" to the "Temple". Yes, that day Khushi will take the decision on what to do and her dreams will be the deciding factor for her dreams always are weaved with Arnav in the center. She will search him and bring him back from the Temple. Arnav's anguish will never give him the permission to be with Khushi but it will be her dreams and their collective dreams that will bring them together. Their ideologies are completely different than each other but they have always shared the same dreams; they have weaved their small world with each other, even for a moment; and that iota of dream is more powerful than any ideology. As I have said always when this happens they both will cup each other's face and shed tears of joy for they would have received eternity. Yes, that day they will declare that "hum apna saara sapna aapke bagair kaise dekhe" for as Eugene Ionesco says ~ "Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together".

Hey superb analysis as usual 👏👏, and does not leave me with much to say.

A episode that was an out and out filler or so it seems at first glance.

Aptly said, it resembled a filler, where yesterdays episode and topics seems to have taken a back seat again, however on closer inspection it is not as simple as that.

Today's episode marked the beginning of conflict between Arnav Singh Raizada VS Shyam and how quietly was it fought.

I do hope after today's episode and Shayam's antics and Arnav observing him, that the CVs do not go down the route of trying convince Arnav that Shayam has changed, hopefully they realised and yesterdays and today's antics closed that possible story line.

When Shayam was giving Khushi flowers both Khushi and ASR were uncomfortable and ASR looked at Khushi from the corner of his eye, whether he noticed that Khushi was uncomfortable and was not looking at Shayam and was looking at ASR. As you have said he could notice the discomfiture of Khushi or he may only see that Khushi ACCEPTED the flowers from her paramour Shyam !! But he could also attribute her discomfort to the fact that Shayam's overture was public, she has been uncormatable in the past recently when he tried to put holi on Khushi twice and both times ASR saw but he has not thought about it any further as yet.

The first bedroom scene when they went to change, and ASR said what was the need to do all this and Khushi replied what would you understand about giving another person a happiness, as well all you have mentioned above she does not know as yet that he has sacrificed both his and her happinss for the time being to keep the most important person in his life happy and give that person every happiness possible. She has usually got more hurt from him and bitter words and therefore for her the state of play from her point of view is different, he was different with her for a few days at most. He has never had a habit of defending himself, he normally remains silent. Also when he said i am going to go to the bathroom and change first, he did not receive a reply the first time so he said it again, he has never liked it when Khushi ignores him.

I would not have expected Shayam to be smiling so happliy when Payl and Akash came downstairs.

Scorpions are symbols of passion, vengeance and jealousy and todays dance had all of it and much more.– Brilliant, no other words 👏👏👏👏👏

In regards to the dance you have summed it up beautifully:

Arnav who was going through the motions of dancing catches Shyam's intent look at Khushi, Arnav in turn looks at Khushi , notices that she is not looking at him , nor is she happy in dancing with him.. The volcano in Arnav erupts , There is controlled mayhem as Arnav the ocean begins to roil ... His blood begins to boil looking at the man who betrayed his sister , looking at the man who had the effrontery to give HIS wife the boquet of Roses...Arnav's pent up temper shoots up as he sees the girl he loved/loves in cahoots with Shyam and out to destroy his sisters world ...His need to teach Shyam a lesson dominates, He begins to make his moves ... The dance ceases to become a dance of togetherness of union and becomes a guerrilla war ..Arnav Plays Khushi around, letting her go, seemingly giving her freedom , pulling her towards him , then vengefully showing off his ownership over her , ..This was a dance of Power, passion, aggression, This was a dance of authentication, authentication of his territory !! ..This was a dance where in he stamped his authority over Khushi , This was a dance where he branded her as his own ..This was a dance where Arnav showed Shyam that Khushi is his and will be .. Shyam forayed into Arnav's boundary and tried to establish a bond, a weak claim over Khushi in public view , Arnav retaliated in breakneck speed , established his rights over Khushi , averred his dominance over Khushi, declared his claim over Khushi to Shyam In Full Public view and Shyam could only look. In the words of Emerson who said ..One who hears me, understands me becomes mine , a possession for all time ..so does Khushi who hears him , understands him at a basic level becomes Arnav for all of eternity ..The dance of the scorpion ends after delivering a enormous sting to Shyam who had dared to trespass

The dance had some of the moves from teri meri but what a contrast they showed in regards to the emotions behind the steps and its flow and how well it played as per the current track, it was beautifully done.

Khushi said that she is also doing all this for his Di, though it has not connected as yet that for someone who is doing thigs to keep his Di happy would not try and ruin her marriage. I think until he starts thinking and it will be some action of Khushi rather than words that will get him to think differently then what he currently thinks he won't connect the dots, that could be tomorrow with the fire (but that is probably just me being optimistic!!!).

I liked that she has not forgotten his words from yesterday's episode that he will tell her what her every action should be and her response today . Though he doesnt seem the happiest about it.

When he blew the candle out and there was no light in the room both worked together to find matches to light the room, does that symbolise when they both know the truth and have a common goal they will work hand in hand for the common goal regaardless of the state of their relationship.
