IP REDUX; Taare Zameen Par !!!

When I realized the "Essence" of the episode then the only quote that came to my mind was by Mother Teresa's -

"I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody (to no one)".

Here is the "Message" of today's episode. The message related with one and only "Khushi Kumari Gupta". The message that lead me to the title - "Taare Zameen Par", like Stars on Earth. A girl who was not born an "Orphan" but was destined to be at the age of 8. The age, when the world of every children revolve around their Parents; an age when every children start to know their parents; an age when they are being prepared by their Parents to face the world; to understand the difference between good and evil; an age when they are sheltered in the arms of their parents so that "No Storm" can even touch them. Every child is like a "Star" in the eyes of their Parents. Every child is precious and they are naive and the devil didn't even cross their paths. Children are stars, they are Godsend and Godlike.

Here I want to mention when Arnav said - "har saal main yeh karta hoon"upon Anjali's query that they all are here made me think this may be related to his Mom, as this is Mother's Day Weekend. Tomorrow we can have a clear picture on this apart from the logical explanation regarding the "Kidnap", 'coz Shyam knowing this being his yearly work can use as an opportunity to complete his motive.

Iss Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon is a story of Khushi Kumari Gupta, a girl who became an Orphan at the age of 8 and was lucky enough to be adopted by another pious family like her, the Guptas. A girl of that age never realized what death is; what a disaster looks like. That girl was adopted by a family, a family which is her refuge, a family that brought her up with the best of values and traditions but at the same time the simple fact was never hidden from her that she is an "Orphan". She was sheltered under their love and care and had been instilled in her the intelligence to be truthful and the power to take the right judgment. Today that girl is all alone standing between the Devil and the Prince. Today, Khushi have no one, absolutely no one to give her the mental support and help her to choose the right path and take the right decisions. Today we saw a "Falling Star";a Bright Star that is losing its shine; a Star that is been thrown out to its base, the water. Didn't I mention Khushi as Dragon fly??? She is associated with air and water; the other day on terrace, Arnav threw the stars up in the air and today he threw them by the pool, near the water. The very existence of Khushi was thrashed and crushed by the only man she considers the most 'Important". She is an orphan and she has no shoulder to cry upon; today my heart went out to her not because Arnav mistrusted her; not because Shyam manipulated her; not because she doesn't have Bauji, Buaji and Amma and Payal to share her fears and problems with but today she is alone in this whole world; she has ABSOLUTELY No one beside her who she can turn to without any inhibitions; When she lied on the bed I knew she was thinking of one person whom she can turn to but she cannot reach her; yes, that is her "Mom". I remembered this song from "Taare Zameen Par" that moment:-

Her blood relation, her Parents, her belief and her Stars was thrown away. My heart went out to her when Shyam came to her and said - "Arnav toh ek ghanta pehle hi aa chukka hain" and we saw Anjali came and asked him - "tumne khana bhi nehin khaya"??? whether he ate or not is immaterial but at least there was someone, his sister, his blood relation, who was worried for him and asked about his whereabouts but is there anyone who had asked Khushi whether she had her supper or not??? Did anyone even ask her why she is so worried??? She waited in the office for 5/6 hrs and Arnav didn't even pay heed to her concerns and then we witnessed the man with whom Khushi was engaged to for the sake of her family is manipulating her and making mockery of her situations. What is the difference between Arnav and Shyam here??? Nothing they both are same and they both are using Khushi in their own way; the only difference is one is righteous and the other is unrighteous. Does this mean that Arnav will be forgiven easily??? Hell NO.

He has to repay and he will repay and today's episode CONFIRMED the track for Shyam's "Blurting" out the truth in the Terrace Confrontation followed by Arnav's "Repentance" till the Social Stigma.

Did you ever realize why Khushi went to Shyam for the help??? Of course "Social Stigma" would have come in front of the Guptas but she did it only for Arnav and for Arnav to realize later on. Just to keep Arnav's reputation in safe custody in front of her family. Yes, this will come out after the terrace confrontation and this is why it will be proved to Arnav why Khushi kept quiet about Shyam to Anjali. Khushi is nave and she believed the sole reason why Arnav keeps such a low judgment about her is only because he thinks she is involved with Shyam Manohar Jha. She couldn't ask for help from Buaji and Payal 'coz she didn't want them to learn the reason about the "Wedding Contract" as then it would be hard to keep the secret from them. This scene reminded me of the wedding day when Garimaji slapped her demanding the reason for this sudden wedding. Khushi neither uttered a single word nor Arnav; that day Khushi kept quiet not only because of Payal's wedding but also she guarded Arnav Singh Raizada and his reputation. The same reason why Khushi seeked helped from Shyam and this proves her naivete. Shyam said - " Humare bole bina Arnav aapki ek baat nehin maanenge". Of course Arnav will listen to Shyam and here lies the twist in the tale.

When I mentioned that Shyam had hit the nail in the head with planting the "Seed of Doubt" in Arnav's heart because he was well aware of Arnav's love for Khushi; he knew that moment that Arnav was hurt and as we say in hindi - "Loha jab garam raheta hain tab use marna chahiye", Shyam did just that. That moment Arnav was vulnerable and being an opportunist Shyam did use the situation and turned it towards him. This is the reason Shyam said - "Hum apne pair pe kulhaari bhi dekh ke maarte hain". I remember that when the wedding was supposed to happen I said Shyam will save his stance by turning the table and blame it on Khushi. But then the Creative Team did the exact opposite and made Shyam kick his own Bank Balance and the Arnie blocked the money transfer to Anjali-Shyam's joint account. This is the reason the logic didn't fit in what the Creative Team was trying to portray. When the OTT comedy track was happening I remembered I mentioned in my "Limited Dreams" analysis about Shyam's character to be revived.

Here are the excerpts from the same, Mar 23^rd analysis:-

Shyaam's dream??? Oh yeah, he does have a dream; enjoying with Saale Sahab's money and Khushi's anatomy. Shyaam reading "Economic Times"??? I am impressed. I thought he would never go beyond Cosmopolitan. Let me talk to the script writer here, oh sorry, let me talk to the whole IPK team. Now where in the world did the money transfer come in the picture??? If there were always money been transferred to the joint a/c then why Shyaam will sneak out money from Anjali with tricks. Yaad aaya kuch??? I don't forget so soon. [I don't analyze BBT (Big Bang Theory) but I can say in which episode Sheldon did say certain dialogues]. Whatta continuation in the storyline??? Here I was shouting about your dreams being limited and there I find out entire Shyaam's character analysis is a big FIASCO. Now, tell me how you will justify Shyaam's move??? On one hand he needs Arnav's money and on other hand he betrays his bank balance. WOW. How can anyone justify his moves??? If this was the case then why in the first place he would commit to the crime in front of Arnav??? Shyaam was always portrayed as the "Self Respectable - Khuddar" person and you have changed him to a "Back Stabber" now. Who is writing the story here??? I was right in the beginning that Shyaam would save his Stance - remember my 3 predictions in Feb 9th analysis??? Anjali was always his "Ace" and will be and so is "Arnav". What the hell have you done with his character traits???

"To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved" ~ George MacDonald

Now this is Shyam Manohar Jha and I was right when I had mentioned that the moment Arnav will confront Shyam, he will back off and blame the entire fiasco on Khushi. The same thing happened today when he threatened Khushi, he will speak the truth only that how she trapped him in a web of love. This is Shyam Manohar Jha. But then I guess the creative team did rectify their mistake through another dialogue of Shyam like I said above and that is when he said - "Hum apne pair pe kulhaari bhi dekh ke maarte hain". That moment he did commit a mistake by agreeing to the "Affair" that he allegedly was having with Khushi and this why he uttered this. Having said that, this dialogue has another HINT for the terrace confrontation between Khushi and Shyam where he will "BLURT" out everything on how he trapped Khushi and Buaji's Paralytic attack and also the forceful engagement but the most important truth will be "How Arnav had TRUSTED him" and he never even bothered to ask Khushi, even at least once before making her a "Sacrificial Lamb". This is when Khushi will learn the entire truth and Arnav will realize the biggest blunder he had committed by not trusting her. This moment Khushi's naivete infront of Arnav will be proved and why she didn't ask for help from Buaji and Payal and indeed save him and his reputation from the Guptas.

This is the moment Khushi will gain "Arnav's Trust" but Arnav will lose "Khushi's Trust". This moment Khushi's dialogue will be completed - "Chahein kuch bhi ho jaaye hum aapka bharosa jeet ke rahenge". Yes, she will earn the trust of Arnav while Arnav's work of earning trust from Khushi will begin from this moment.

Now, this incident will prove how "nave" Khushi believed Shyam's manipulation and was easily trapped when he made a deal with her in exchange of the truth; this step of Khushi will help Arnav to realize if Khushi can believe Shyam even after what his betrayal to both the Guptas and Raizadas then she definitely kept quiet about Shyam's true facet when Anjali panicked with her MS being torn. Isn't it??? Logically this should happen and this will happen. This track will not only lead to the revelation of the "Actual Truth" but also very very important to prove Khushi's nave and gullible nature.

Another important view is the difference between Shyaam and Arnav. At this juncture I see both are same. Shyaam had used Khushi for his own sake so does ASR. If Shyaam is manipulating Khushi for his dream of being rich, then ASR married Khushi to save his Di's happiness. The only good thing is Shyaam cannot defend his act but ASR did.

The twist in the tale starts here. Another facet of the same dialogue by Shyam Manohar Jha today - "Humare bole bina Arnav aapki ek baat nehin maanenge". Indeed. Khushi will learn that Shyam was right all along. Arnav does listen to him and his explanations. A girl for whom Arnav is the whole world; her entire dreams revolved around this one single person and time and again he thrashed her dreams but yet always she forgives because somewhere in her heart she knew that he does believe her and in her actions. He does trust her enough and whatever misunderstanding that he held right now is circumstantial and not due to "TRUST". But all hell will break lose when Khushi will realize that Arnav never even considered important to even ask for her explanations before declaring her sentence. This is why she will leave and she will because from this day as it will be her decision and always will remain so.

Let me take you to the analysis on the Bali Honeymoon episode aired on Mar 27^th. Excerpts here:-

Well as I said today's episode might look filler but we can surely figure out the 5% message weaved in it. There are couples of loops opened; actually one loop started yesterday and one today. When I was watching yesterday's episode the one statement that triggered apart from all the characters that were back on track was Arnav's authoritative statement - "Yes, I will say every time what you'll do and what you won't". This statement immediately reminded me of the Sangeet episode where in the changing room Arnav said "tumhaare ishaaron pe naa sahi par tumhare saath toh naacha". Yes, it was that day on the sangeet when they challenged each other and upon needed Arnav jumped in to save Khushi not even bothering about his own win. That day when Arnav uttered this I knew that there will be some day when he has to eat his own words; there will be one day when he will dance to her tunes; there will be one day when he will solely let her to take the decisions; Today again when I heard Khushi saying -"Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada humhein kya karna chahiye, kya nehin karna chahiye, har baar aap humhein batayenge" and Arnav replying again "Wohi hoga jo main kahunga". No. Mr ASR, the day is coming soon when she will hold the torch and that day you cannot stop her from leaving and you have let her go. Yes, there will be one day when the decision will solely be Khushi Kumari Gupta's and Arnav Singh Raizada will have to abide by. This loop that opened on Monday has a connection with another loop that opened today.

That day I mentioned the loop had opened and it will be closed when Khushi will leave him and the decision will be solely hers. The confirmation came from Arnav's dialogue when Khushi removed all her belongings from his room - "Tum jo chaho jab chaho badal nehin sakti, you get that. Akhir kisne tumhein permission di hain mera room badalne ki"??? Khushi politly answered that "kisine nehin aur yeh baat humhein ab samajh mein aayi". My heart cried out for her that moment and that's why I quoted Mother Teresa in the beginning. Isn't she in a position where she is unwanted, unloved and uncared by each and every one especially the most important man in her life??? Isn't this the greatest disease and the greatest suffering of her life??? Hell yes, it is. And this is the reason she will walk out. I laid the track for this yesterday itself, isn't it??? Today this is the confirmation that the path is being prepared for her to leave Arnav and this time the loop will be closed with everything happening as per her instructions and with her permission. That day Arnav said - "Wohi hoga jo main chahunga" and this loop will close with today's permission dialogue the day they will confess.

Before I start with the repentance track, I'll talk about the loop that they closed. An indication that Khushi will return after the confession and this time she will return with full respect and full authority. It was the "Door Scene" in the bedroom. The first night, when Arnav entered in the room, he said - "che (6) mahine, jahan tum saans logi wahin main, iske bare mein sochta hoon toh, disgusting..." and he cleared that in the room she have no place at all. That day, Khushi was not aware of the reason for the wedding but today she is. Today, she knows that she had hurt him and trying to move heaven and earth to prove her right; loved that she had taken away all her belongings because as she clearly mentioned - "jab aapko humari shakl dekhna hi pasand nehin toh aap ko humari cheezo se ghire rahena kitna takleef deta hoga". WOW. Isn't this love??? She knows she had hurt him and being the righteous one Khushi will do everything to clear the "Chot" she had caused him, on the otherside making him comfortable. I loved this part. This loop is closed with Arnav not letting her step outside by the pool and both of them inside behind closed doors.

Here starts the repentance track. He has to face this of what he did to her. He has to. The intense pain he had inflicted in Khushi till now and will do in future; how can he get away with only one repentance??? He has to lose her and then get her back to his life. That will be his atonement. I am happy with the way the Repentance Track is ben designed. Didn't I always say that these 2 are equals??? The effort that Khushi is putting in now to clear her name and earn the trust, Arnav will have to go through the same torture and effort to gain her trust and her absolution. The dialogue by Khushi is applicable for Arnav too here - "Chahein kuch bhi ho jaaye hum aapka bharosa jeet ke rahenge". Arnav will do that and the same like Khushi waited for his attention for 5/6 hours and like she ran behind him to the car and every other effort that she is putting into. Arnav will do that like I said yesterday in the track layout. This was the proof by the CVs today. I remember that I wanted the torture to be so more by him that when he repents the sky should also cry with him.That day the sky should pour out heavy rains and wash away all his "SINS" along with the water drops.

There is another HINT that Shyam indicated today which I described also yesterday and that is the "Social Stigma". This will happen 100%. This is why Shyam said - "kahin aisa naa ho bahut der ho jaaye, aur phir ..." This was a fantastic indication for the future. Remember Shyam's "EGO" dialogue where I explained that it was for Khushi. Yup, it was indeed and when Arnav will be making all the efforts to win over Khushi, then it will be solely her decision to accept Arnav or not. Then the "TIME" will be crucial as it will be almost close to 6 months of their contract. This is where the dialogue fits. Remember the Nor'wester episode??? It was April 20^th.

Excerpts from Nor'wester analysis:-

I am yet to get the confirmation but since Khushi delayed the flood as Buaji mentioned "baanr aa jayega" through back door entry to the GH and managing the time to get the water supply to run out, I think it indicated that Khushi and Arnav will try to save the reason for their sudden wedding to get leaked. When Arnav and Khushi will unite they will try to hide the "reason" for the wedding to the Guptas and this is when the 6 month contract will be over and Shyaam will catch hold of the file and try to expose this in the society and this is where the "Blackout" fits. Shyaam is the only person who knows the half-truth about the wedding. Because of this I felt Khushi will try to delay this "Blow" to the Guptas but Arnav and Khushi will fight Shyaam and the Society together which explains the blackout difference that I mentioned yesterday.

Shyam's both the dialogues last 2 episodes are pretty intertwined. Then his "aap ki zindagi barbaad kar dunga" dialogue was also important. The more time Khushi will take to drop her "Ego" and forgive Arnav the more dangerous will be the situation here. So, when Shyam said - Kahin der naa ho jaaye" will definitely come to play as the moment Khushi and Arnav will "Confess" and they will be returning to RM, the "Social Stigma" will come in the picture. This will be handled by both Arnav and Khushi along with the Guptas.

I'll leave today's analysis with one thought that came to my mind when Arnav threw the stars by the pool. The camera focused on the stars; there were 4 Stars and it reminded me of the episode where the "Suicide" act of Khushi occurred; Khushi mentioned she was in the middle of NW, both their Parents and there were 4 stars by the pool. It reminded me of the "Dhaaga" dialogue that she uttered yesterday and how this "Bright Star" has been constantly holding the thread between both the Raizadas and the Guptas; on how she became a "Falling Star" when Arnav threw them by the pool. It reminded of the episode when all of them were watching the "Tootta Hua Taara (Falling Star)" and Arnav said - "Aur jo taara khud khatam ho raha hain, woh mujhe kya dega???"

Today that precious Star, Khushi Kumari Gupta is breaking and breaking very hard for she lost everything that she had; she lost her parents and also she lost the "Trust" that a lover only wants from her love; this star is so helpless that she had to turn to the devil and make a deal, just so that she can clear her name from the thoughts of the only person who matters most to her. When she will clear that name and earn the trust, then this Arnav who once said what can a falling star give him, will be the ONE who will seek love, trust and forgiveness from this "Falling Star" and hopefully keep her always the "Brightest". Of course that's what Anjali wished - "Chote ke zindagi mein koi aisa aaye jo inke dil ke dard ko humesha ke liye khatam kar de..."

Isn't she trying to do that now??? Trying to erase the pain that he is living with every moment??? Indeed she is and one day they will be together for each other for they are special; for they are the Stars on Earth, Taare Zameen Par.
