Hello All,
The episode continued with its TRP Honey trap, Arnav cuts the phone, the phone is then taken away from his hands, Arnav is found tied by his captors in a dingy room while at RM, peace reigns as Anjali finally got through to her chotte ...
It was a very well shot segment, I loved the way the work of the camera here...The single tear , sliding down , An ode to the word Khushi had been hungering to hear ...The single shower reviving the barren dreams and filling it with color ...Even in that moment when Khushi is with the family, Her back is turned towards them, her face looking forward, towards Arnav...She stands like a fortress, surrounding the citadel, protecting it yet unconnected with it whereas there is a bond, a connection beyond ordinary comprehension with the man who bullies her, hates her, abuses her yet stands by her ...her entire being is for him, she is the antenna, receptor tuned to hear him , Only him everything and every one ceases to matter ...It is just them !! ...That was truly encapsulated well,
With Anjali suddenly growing some Grey cells linked with the fact that she drops the glass of milk, I am beginning to wonder whether the unveiling of Shyam is more closer than we had been believing ...
Akash again continued his role of Lakshman/Bharat ...Bharat never opens his mouth as long as Ram is there but once Ram is gone, he takes charge and becomes quite decisive, firm which we saw in Akash today ...
Loved the change as Arnav changes, controls himself, looks with defiance, cold fury , gauging his captor...he has not lost his will, the determination burns strong , his mind is working and he will not give up.!!
Khushi walks towards her room, long submerged memories rearing up, playing in her mind as her heart begins to process the correct information in the light of recent events, Khushi enters and the Dream Sequence begins !!
Applause to the team for pulling out the relevant FB's , retracing the path of Khushi , showing her finally gathering the pearls and stringing it together and forming a chain...Also loved how it was shot...Khushi who had been questioning her naadani , wondering at her nadaani has begun to understand it.. her understanding unconsciously leads her to the room of the man who stays within her heart, She finally opens the door, the door that has been locked securely , the door which had prevented her from glimpsing the truth, she opens the door and finds the prince hidden within, A prince who lights the candle, dispelling the darkness and spreading the light , She moves closer to him, clad in red, the symbol of suhagan !! A smiling Arnav nods towards the a darkened recess , Khushi picks up a pouch , loosening the mouth, discovers the chain , Arnav comes closer and adorns her with the pearls..A blushing Khushi runs out to be chased by Arnav who manages to hunt his love and capture her in the web of his love, He hands her a SOS, the message in the bottle, when Khushi awakens !!
Contrary to the ILU, I actually liked the way the dream sequence was shot ..Agreed that this sequence again was not needed and was a purely TRP exercise just like ILU but here at least they kept to the IP norms ..That is they kept the basic elements in picture..We had fire [candle light], wind [ blowing curtains], water, [Pool], Sky [the starlit sky], Space [ the open space by the pol]...Also they stuck to the Taj mahal aka Poolside which is where Arnav-Khushi love story saw many ups & downs ...But , But ..They could have shot and executed it better... given time to actors to get into the skin of their characters cux I saw BS n SI there and not Arnav & Khushi !!...P.S. ..would someone please teach the Indian attributes to Sanaya , her whole BL is that of a contemporary woman raised on western diet and not that of a small town girl rooted in Indian Beliefs [which is Khushi]
Khushi has finally opened the door to her heart and has discovered the prince residing there, The light of hope has been lit , the vigil begins and the end of darkness is about to commence ...The episode opened with Arnav breaking the strands of pearls and finally he gives back her security, her pride by stringing together the pearls , respects her and accords her the status she deserves by tying it around her neck himself..A mark which brands her as his, his equal, his counterpart!!
Pearls !! Pearls are considered to be precious simply bec they were very hard to procure in ancient times , It was found at depths resulting in many a deaths of the dare devil swimmers who tried to reach for it ...The man who could bring a pearl to the surface was considered to be a hero !!
reading up on the pearls, I discovered that Pearls strung together speaks about order, represents cosmic union , a spiritual unity between two individuals...So right now the two lovebirds are united spiritually although not yet physically ..Do not forget that pearls also has stood for consummation ..The pearl is considered to be a drop of semen from the gods above which fell onto the shell and formed the beautiful shell ..in other words..it denotes the consummation and we have got the hint that there will be consummation soon..
The Greeks saw pearls as symbol of love and marriage , Khushi by stringing it together and wearing it will win the love and keep the marriage intact with the full approval of Arnav
## Khushi is a flighty and scatter brained girl with a propensity for filmy stuff, I agree but she always knew ASR in and out, knew his reactions and never n million years would she think in such a way...If U r confused about it, I suggest you take a relook on ur previous episodes where Khushi dreams about her life with Arnav, she keeps Arnav intact but changes him to suit her own style.. That would be Khushi ...In ur pursuit of TRP and ur addiction of catering to the gallery, stop maiming the characters !
Khushi awakens from her dreams as does her suspicions which were briefly lulled and so does ASR, He makes a valiant bid to get the mobile phone ..A hyper Khushi begins to take note of the uncharacteristic events that was played out in the past hour n concludes that there is something fermenting under that glossy grapes ..
Ahhh !! This was the ASR we are used to seeing, The man who defies fates !! The man who challenges Gods, The man who NEVER EVER gives up !! Here was the man who refused to accept defat and who is fighting for his freedom, who has not stopped thinking and his mind is trying to figure out various plots, A fearless man who is not intimidated by death or his captors ..A man who has not given up, why then will he say ILU as if he has accepted his fate [ ur buildup is not in consonance with the need for ILU] ...What a big blunder have u committed , CV's ??
The Clue !! ...Yes..what was the real clue in this scenario..What was the original plot line that would render the clue to Khushi, raise the red flags in her mind ...IT WAS THE TONE !! It was the tone of Arnav Singh raizada which was supposed to trigger the investigation ..Notice the dialogue !! "unnki Baat Karne ka Taarika " that shud have been the clue and it would have been logical from there when she jumped to the daylight terrace scene, open road scene and Airport scene , all supporting her growing suspicion but the knee jerk reaction of the PH killed what could have been a poignant moment...This is supported by another dialogue,"Sab Kuch teek chalte hue, itni badi baat nahi kehsakte"..So sab Kuch teek nahi hai, Is it PH..and whose fault would it be and as usual , ur haphazard style is taking u deeper into the fire rather than bailing it out !! The added monologue "Kya woh humse kuch kehna chah rahe they " , confirms it !!
The Nani-Akash-Payal scene reminded me of Bharat who is caught up in the running of the Kingdom in the absence of Ram!!..Nani is watching the by play and her role as the sutradhaar, the person who will keep the strings of relationships tied together, who will intervene when the strings seem to slacken or to snap was reiterated today !!
Again the cryptic message of the CV's that yes, Baruns absence is having cascading effect, the assurance he is coming back soon and also a hint that there will be something before that , something least expected , some surprise ..will it match our expectation??
Finally progression from Kuch Gadbad hai >> Khatra hai >>> to action !! Thank the lord for small mercies ...
So will the press be playing a role ??
