I agree with the general consensus that it was a power-packed episode yesterday! Both the direction of the dream sequence with Krishna seeing Ravi and him disappearing, that ambiguity, and Mitali's performance of Krishna's own reaction were absolutely flawless! She really let go and lived Krishna's pain and for yesterday's final product I salute her craft! It was definitely Krishna and Mitali's episode yesterday with big brownie points to the director.
I don't know if it is on purpose or not but I thought it was poignant that Krishna is wearing the same saree in this episode as she was in her dream in one of the first episodes (I think the first one, actually). It really played on the cruel twist of fate that she has found herself slave to.
VP definitely gets the best dad ever award! Krishna is lucky to have him and his unwavering adherence to truth and his faith in its ultimate triumph. There are so many factors in this world that can make a girl in Krishna's position doubt her stance and the actions she has taken, especially when others have to suffer for it. But I like that VP reminds her that she is not fighting against or for people but for the truth to prevail. Their telepathic conversation was wonderful and I loved seeing how deeply connected the two are. It was harshly juxtaposed with the reaction to Saraswati when at the end of the episode she silently beseeches her for her blessings but all she hears on the other end is silence.
One small thing though. While I do love this trutth talk etc. I would have asked VP if he had signed anything of late without checking it, why there might be a chance that his signature was on these papers etc. Nobody seems to be asking the question, how did this happen? Except maybe Babloo.
Agree with you Sri. Babloo was magnificent when he just refused to be present for Ganga's blackmail session. I like that our gadha-dari Bhim who was ready to rush off to find Krishna has an elder brother Yudhishtira to hold him back and warn him to give thought to his impulsive decisions. And I am loving Madan more and more. Glad that Pintu has this rock solid support system to fend off Ganga's insanity, my god has she ever lost it!
Krishna, well aware that she cannot fulfill the role of a daughter and that she has chosen to be the BDO in this case, encouraged by her father, looks frantically for someone to be her father's child, his family and stay with him. I guess Ravi comes to mind because he was with her last time VP went to jail and he is the only child other than Krishna who has the ability to stay in the jail as Swati and Manisha are married and Chanchal is too young. Ravi is literally her only hope and her desperation and her pleas went straight to my heart. I hate that again it is Krishna shouldering all the burden while people point fingers at her. Saraswati and Ravi are so eager to blam Krishna for getting VP in jail that they don't seem to realise VP is in jail and they should support him instead of throwing their hate at Krishna. It just goes to show that negativity breeds negativity. Thoughtless people!
I see that a lot of people were expecting a hug between Pintu and Krishna and to be honest I was too at first but then I realised it was much better this way. If Pintu had hugged her and Krishna had sobbed into his arms, it would have sort of been Pintu enabling her emotional breakdown and making her dependent. He does not want that because he knows Krishna and he knows just what she needs right now. So instead of taking her into his arms, he stands her up again and sternly tells her to get a hold of herself, though keenly aware and empathetic to her excruciating pain the whole time. He does not need any acknowledgment of help from her, other than her finally getting it together when Mithilesh comes. I am falling in love with Krishna and Pintu because they have such a deep and secure relationship an just when it seems like Krishna is all alone, Pintu appears to be her silent pillar, knowing when she needs him most.
Ok finally I have a theory. I think DC Akash is giving Krishna this case on purpose to catch her red handed. I thought his volte face, smiling at Krishna and giving her responsibility was suspicious. He keeps hearing how she mixes her personal and professional lives and abusing her position but he has not really been able to catch her at it., because she really hasn't done anything. So maybe this is his way of pasaoing her and removing her from the position once and for all as she is a stone in his vision of a perfect, imandaar district. Just a theory...tell me what you think.
