But that criticism aside, the other moments were definitely worth watching, especially that Prishna interaction which is a kind of relationship so rarely seen on television. That was definitely my favourite part of the episode. I loved that understanding between them where Krishna came to Pintu in a time of need and Pintu just knew something was wrong (and he was working) and was all ears for Krishna's problem and helping her with the solution. The way they support each other is the way I love seeing love shown in fiction, and in real life actually! His dialogue today was absolutely beautiful when he expressed his complete faith in her and her decisions. Even if God told him she was wrong, he wouldn't accept it! Haye.
And I loved the little hand tussle at the end which lightened the mood for a very burdened Krishna and let her know that he was there for her, to support her and to make her smile. And that made me smile!
Other scenes that I liked were Krishna with VP and Krishna with the baba and Pintu/Ravi.
We got another Mahabharata reference today from VP when he told her that Ajuna never looked back. Our protagonist Krishna has always been the Arjuna of this story, faced with complicated decisions regarding her duty vs her family loyalties and VP has always played the role of her Krishna, her guide and teacher. Whenever she is mired in the problems that surround her, he is there to show her the clear way forward and explain the realities of life on a path of truth.
The Baba's prophecy was quite intimidating and I don't doubt that Krishna will have the strength to fulfill it, but it makes me sad to think of her all alone up there. I hope, and believe, that Pintu will be with her, not begrudge her that place at the top and just support her from wherever he is, just as he is doing now.
My second favourite scene of the episode was Pintu and Ravi. I love how Pintu calmly stood back and assessed the situation before he took action and the way he drove his point across with the chai was wonderful! I cannot believe the audacity of Ravi, still living off of Krishna's name when he hurtfully rejected her and left her to clean up the messes he created for her, both professionally and domestically. Pintu's way of dealing was calm and mature though we are yet to see how he receives he lecture.
It was refreshing to see the DC with an approving tone of voice and a smile for Krishna. And to see her doing her work in the office finally. I am excited for tomorrow and this upcoming Krishna vs TTS track coming up, which has been built up right from the start of the show. Krishna is finally facing an arch nemesis as his equal. And it is nice to see TTS have some brains again.
