Episode. Episode. Episode. When I first watched the episode I was mad with the PH and Star and I know when I'll finish this analysis you all will be exactly singing the same tune with me. Before I start with my analysis I really want to have a talk with 4 Lions.
Can I have a minute with you Gul??? I have been observing since last couple of weeks, the game that you and Star are playing with the audiences. Do you know what is the most important criteria one needs to instill to run a company??? It is called "Strong Negotiation skills" which I don't see in you and your team at all. The story has become stagnant since last couple of months and what we see is only a progress, if you call this, then at a "snail's pace". My question to you is whose baby is this??? Is this star's baby or this is your's baby??? Who is the creator of Iss pyaar ko Kya naam doon??? Of course it's you right??? Then who is supposed be taking care of this baby and understand its values and nurture it properly??? It's you again right?? I know that the current track is already been laid between April 16-18, isn't it??? I know the dates clearly. Of course I know and that design came after a month long shouting and criticisms. Then last week you started to lay down the micro tracks but were there any effect on the TRP chart??? No, of course not. How can that be??? 90% of the audience doesn't even have any idea that you have designed the track already and that we are moving towards the main story and it's because you have no serious method of storytelling. As I always say that I love your "Aesthetic" way of storytelling but tell me honestly that how many of them understand that??? How many of the audiences understood why North and West been brought out here??? How many of the audiences understood that the current track will help Guptas understand ASR and how different he is from Shyam??? Tell me the number??? Not even a single one will understand this. In this 21st century people don't have time to decode the episodes and they certainly don't have any interest to even discuss that. The reason is simple. Your "Execution" skills. That is the most pathetic as far as I have seen. All the brain works of the creative just go down the drain because there is not an "IOTA of Seriousness" in your vehicle. There is your problem. I understand the linking within the episodes but who else will find the link??? Do you ever give a thought how Indian Audiences work??? You need TRPs and when you are one of the four successful TRP garners for Star Plus then damn you, use that selling proposition of yours??? Why the hell are you not using your "Strength"??? Why you need a Maha Episode just to reveal half of the truth??? Ok fine I understand about the maha episode importance but tell me one thing, why you are not negotiating with the Channel properly??? I swear if I were there, then I would have got the date in April only and had cut short of the Arnav-Khushi in RM unnecessary track, Gupta track and the wedding and then would have started with the serious work. Your "one and the only" serious Villain take 2 weeks to make a Key imprint and then open the closet and get access to the file. What you think your audiences are??? How ridiculous is it??? Can you tell me??? Answer me damn it. After such a long time today you remembered your Villain??? Today you thought of Shyam Manohar Jha???
I am asking a serious question to all the readers here. Tell me how many of you have realized that today's episode was all about Shyam and only Shyam??? Don't look at me like that. Yes, I need an answer from you all. How many of you realized today while watching the episode that it was all about Shyam???
There is your answer Gul. Understand this. I don't know if the remaining 10% have understood this fact that today's episode was about Shyam Manohar Jha and no one else or not but you have definitely got your answer. Now my second point. The promo and the change in the episode was a perfect example of how the Channel is dealing with you and your team. The last promo we saw was almost a month back, right??? I never intended to remember the date so I don't remember when the Ghee and Spoon promo aired, but I know that the Horror TV promo was aired last Sunday. Isn't it??? It took you 30 days to air a new promo and then you replace the new promo with another one in exactly 2 days' time. WOW. You need a felicitation. Indeed. "Check the pressure". You designed the episode perfectly and had a plan on mind but how the channel played you. Your entire plan went down the drain when they forcefully made you include the latest truth promo and work on the track. In order to abide by you included a "Voice Over" of Arnav and made the puzzle with 36 to "36 hours". Why??? I'll tell you because one TRP might have affected, second, the ME date is almost near and third, in 3-6 days the drama begins. Right??? So, that the latest promo can be shown as a follow up to the current TV track and make a connection that this will link to her questioning about the wedding. Isn't it??? What do you think I am dumb??? I don't understand the game plan of the Channel and your bowing down to every demand that they make of you. Of course not, you think I am dumb. Firstly, you didn't even need to include this Horror TV track as the latest truth promo was fitting perfectly after the little "Talk" between Garimaji and Khushi and Arnav finding the gift wrapper. Secondly, you couldn't negotiate the ME dates with the channel properly and so, had to buy time with the episodes which has no heads and no tails w.r.t. the audiences, isn't it??? Did the story move a bit ahead from the audiences' pov??? No. Not even an inch. Even I am damn sure the analysts and the cinematographic students will say the same thing that stop playing the same dialogues and the innuendos which is delivering the same meaning about the story line. But you are doing the same thing. Even if 1% of the 10% category of audiences understand that today's episode was not about Khushi and Arnav but it was all about Shyam Manohar Jha then I will say that you have done a good job. Ask them yourself because I am done with you all. I have nothing to say more and keep my mood irritated. If a Mother doesn't protect her baby then everyone will attack the baby, so whatever Star is doing you are allowing them to do so.
Now let me talk about the Spoilers. Gorky, don't you even think that we are not aware that you plan all these. Yes, you do. Having been running a company you want me to think that you have no idea regarding the leakage of the spoilers??? Of course you know and this is your free publicity and who doesn't want free publicity??? Everyone wants. So, you always make sure that spoilers hit the right place at the right time but you are forgetting one thing. As they say, every good thing comes at a cost and the cost you are paying is by releasing the spoilers, be it the news or pictures, the audiences who have seen it or read it have lost interest when the actual episode or promo aired. Now this is the cost that you are paying and will always pay. I would love to know from you that how it feels when the effect that you expected doesn't turn out your way. Bad, isn't it??? That's why it's said - "there is a difference between "first think and then work" and "first work and then think". I guess you fall in the latter category. Well then Good Luck.
Let's start with the analysis shall we??? I'll start with this quote from "Revenge" -
"Doubt is a disease. It infects the mind, creating a mistrust of people's motives and of one's own perceptions. Doubt has the ability to call into question everything you've ever believed about someone'And reinforce the darkest suspicions of our inner circles".
Doubt. Isn't it a disease??? Yes, it is. Every tale is started with this one single disease - "Doubt". With each passing episode I see the doubts in Arnav's mind, doubts is Khushi's mind, doubts in Payal's mind, doubts in Anjali's mind, doubts in Shyam's mind, doubts in Buaji's mind and doubts in Bauji's mind and doubts in Aakash's mind. Well Aakash is not in the equation here. Will be soon. Don't worry. This is the most infectious and the contagious disease any human being have ever witnessed. The story of Iss pyaar ko have started with a "Doubt" when Khushi entered ASR's fashion show. Isn't it?? Indeed it is. The first doubt came on to Khushi about Shyam and she protected Anjali. The second doubt came on to ASR when he witnessed Khushi in the arms of Shyam. The third doubt came on to Shyam when he figured why ASR married Khushi. The fourth doubt came on to Shyam again when he was inquisitive about the file and when he was successful in having a glance at the file he saw the entire "Property" was bequeathed to Anjali. WOW. One doubt started from the beginning of the episode which finally is transferred to "Property". Indeed it infects the mind and changes one's own perceptions. Did Shyam think why the hell ASR will bequeath a portion of his property to him??? Doubt has eaten his brain also, isn't it???
When Khushi saw the Diary today, she saw - "AR 36 (K)" with a cross on K. Khushi's mind is already clouded with so much doubts that she didn't even consider for a moment why in the hell ASR will write that in his diary in the first place. Did she??? Nah, thinking is not her forte. I guess all the "Chana" that she consumed didn't reach her brains I guess. Indeed she is from "West", her right brain never even existed.
What is "36" and what it means here??? Tant gave the title as "36". Well what is it??? In my opinion, this is a big puzzle. If you count, then from May 5th, it will be exactly 36 episodes including 2 Maha Episodes till June middle week, their celebration of the first anniversary. Secondly, if you count then it will also be an anniversary for Khushi completing a year in Delhi. Thirdly, if we forget about the episodes, then from May 2nd, it's exactly 36 days to June 6th, their first episode. Fourthly, Arnav said - "36 hrs", meaning within 3-6 episodes the "Drama" in IPK will start. Well, these are all the calculations and quite logical. But, is this the meaning of AR 36 K??? No. the meaning is very very deep here. Allow me.
The number 36 - "Enemy/Opposition". In Biblical terminology, 36 is referred to anything that is associated with Enemy or Opposition. Now, cometh the line - AR 36 (K) with an X. Does it mean that Arnav is Khushi's enemy like she said - "Chattis ka aakhra"??? No . this is not the thing. Here cometh the first decode. Khushi took out the diary from the laptop. What did I say about the actual file??? That it's with ASR, isn't it??? Yes, this is the actual details of the file. They have used the diary to declare the details of the file. AR = AR Creations, which is the "Property". Who wants to acquire the property??? It's Shyam. And who is the threat to reach the property??? It's "Khushi". There you go peeps. For Shyam to acquire the property, he has to wipe away or sacrifice "Khushi Kumari Gupta". How will he do that??? He loves her right??? Yes, here you go. Khushi is the "Way" to AR Creations. She is in "Opposition" for Shyam to acquire AR Creations. Didn't I tell you all that the file which ASR created has to be "So Intricate" which will ensure that Shyam is bonded with Anjali forever and there will be "No way, ABSOLUTELY no way" for Shyaam to be with Khushi. Here goes the brain of a "Harvard" Grad, Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. Interesting isn't it??? There are some more.
Today's episode laid the design of Shyam's plan to acquire the property and the whole plan is weaved in a beautiful way. All the dialogues were of Shyam and the "game plan" is linked to Aakash and Bubbli's "Chess board". Yes, there you go. Shyam has the wrong file and his plan is according to the wrong file only.
Let us check the Chess Board.
Who is the Queen here?? It is Anjali as according to Shyam she is the sole bearer of the entire property. Queen is also a very important piece here. She can move any way she wants, as many spaces as she wants, which makes her a prominent and favorite piece. The queen represents herself in the game.
Who is the "Elephant", a.k.a. "Bishop" here??? It's Khushi. What is the importance of an "Elephant /Bishop"??? The elephant represents the temple and religion; it is located on either side of the king and the queen (who stand in the center of the second row). Yes, Khushi is Pious and she is already guarding Anjali, a.k.a, the "Queen" when she hid the true face of Shyam.
Who is the "Horse" a.k.a. "Knight" here??? It's Arnav Singh Raizada. The Knight is a self-representing piece. The knight piece is actually that of a horse's head, because that's what knights rode. Only the highly educated and wealthy men could become a knight.
Now chess is a game of a battlefield and the King, Queen, Bishop and Knights stay in the castle and the Rooks protects the castle. When Aakash, said - "Aap ki saare chale samajh mein aa rahi hain mujhe and naa haati nehin", meant that Shyam will not even consider "Khushi" as "Move" here. Aakash then said - "yeh raha aapka ghoda" meant Shyam will head for "Arnav" instead. This is the reason he will kidnap Arnav. Because for him, to get to the property, he will first try to wipe away Arnav because he is the protector of Anjali, the knight he is, right??? Then Bubbli said - "Bad Move". Why??? Because on the Holi day, Shyam targeted Khushi and his initial plan was to remove Khushi from Raizada Mansion but then he shifted his focus to the "File" which lured him to acquire the property. Then came Payal and showed Aakash the broken phone and when Aakash was busy dealing with his rani, Bubbli did check mate him with his "Rani". The same way, Shyam will use this miscommunication between Arnav and Anjali (remember Anjali is in dark here) to wipe away the "Queen" after transferring the property and live his life happily with the "Elephant" Khushi.
Now, let me take you to the TV promo. What did it say??? That a rich person murders his first wife to get along with his girl firend??? Why everyone thought this is about Arnav and Lavanya??? Why can't Khushi be the girlfriend of Shyaam??? According to ASR, she is. Right??? Now the first wife is poor and does poor mean only financially??? Why not "crippled"??? What did I explain about sand yesterday and about Anjali and her shyness??? She suffers from inferiority complex, isn't it??? So, why this TV thing is not for Shyam??? Think think???
But here is the clue why Shyam will fail in his plan; again because of the "Elephant"; because she is the protector of Anjali always. Here cometh the proof. When Khushi was watching the TV, Buaji said - "Bakariya ho kaa"??? Yes, Goat / Lakhsmi or to be precise, "Sacrificial lamb" which she has already been on her wedding night. So, here is Khushi, an elephant and also a sacrificial lamb. Another one was - "Raaz khulega ab" and "Khundi ka khualasa" which Buaji will reveal infront of Arnav. Yes, always me and Tant said that it will be Buaji who will reveal Shyam's true intentions and also the "horoscope" that Shyam forged to get engaged with Khushi. Everything.
Here goes the innuendos - "tum aur main milke use raaste se hatayenge" where Shyam will want Khushi to support him. What a blunder by Shyam. He has no idea about the equation between Khushi and Arnav.
Then cometh the last one when Arnav said - "Main handle kar lunga". This is a nice innuendo and he will handle it with Khushi because by that time the truth will be revealed and Buaji will confirm that as I mentioned above. We will have ASR and Khushi handle Shyam together.
Now, tell me who is exactly singing the same tune with me that I mentioned in the beginning sentence??? Who all are angry with the PH now??? By any chance does this episode look like they have disclosed Shyam's plan here in a normal viewing??? Does it??? This is what the episode was all about and this is the reason I was angry with 4 Lions and their pathetic negotiation skills. They could have delivered the same message but with nice representation and fresh ideas. If this is the "Quality of Treatment" they keep on producing I seriously don't know till how long I can bear watching this series for 4 Lions should know that ~"An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else's" ~ by J.
